G'day Everyone!
The infamous video, which is now making it's way across the blogs and major news, is out there.
http://www.wdtn.com/global/story.asp?s=8825514. This happened at a Burger King in Xenia, Ohio. Get this.. the said employee was taking a BATH in A SINK AT BURGER KING!!
None the less, it's a Public Relations disaster for Burger King. How would you feel at this point?
Do you want a body in your burger? Believe me, I don't think so!
Fortunately, Burger King did fire all the employees involved in this and said that they threw out all the affected tools. But the sink? I would recommend that said Burger King Restaurant to please RIP OUT that sink and replace with a new one!! Just to say a sanitation is enough.. but no. Rip out the sink!! Don't eat there until they do just that!
Meanwhile, BK fans in Xenia, Ohio, I encourage you to go to McDonalds for a while until Burger King cleans it's entire kitchen properly and that the health department certifications it CLEAN down to the last microorganism!!
I hope they throw a full lawsuit at the fired employees too!
Semper FI.

Here's another mention in CNN;
Ohio Burger King worker fired for bathing in sink
Just about every food service place have bleach, which can do a good job of cleaning and disinfecting. When used with sanitizer, but not combined, you'll come out with a very clean surface.
Sometimes the cleaning fumes are enough to drive you outside as well as stick to you like bleach does.
Almost didn't mention this, but don't just blame the employees. You should also see what the customers do to their food at times. They can ruin it for other customers and the employees by their actions. Now and then, when they leave their table(s), they'll leave gum, lipstick-stained silverware and glasses, napkins and some food with a little blood in them, as well as bandaids, vomit, or small body pieces in what's left of the food or drink, etc. Sometimes when you're backed up, you have to put stuff in the big sink filled with water and detergent.
I've seen customers leave their table ranging from a quick cleanup to a totally trashed table. We're talking not just the tabletop, but the seats and around the table. I once watched a swim team take over the store, including a youth group on three buses nearly trash the restaurant inside and out. How about a customer getting sick in the restroom, both ways?
When you spend time in food service, you see and experience both sides of the dirty coin. When you also spend a night cleaning the kitchen in back, you have to make it clean enough to pass a health department inspection as well as the opening management. I can understand why the health department did what it did, since the sinks aren't quite made for personal bathing.
