Ever feel like nothing is secret any more because of the Internet? You may be right. It tookĀ 4ChanĀ users only 15 minutes to track down and bust the Cleveland-areaĀ Burger KingĀ employee who stood on top of two containers of shredded lettuce and then posted a picture of the gross act. 4Chan is a bulletin board-type website where members post images and comments.
“This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King,” wrote the unnamed employee on the evening of July 16. Guess he thought that was funny. Other users weren’t laughing: according toĀ Hypervocal.com,Ā Anonymous, the notorious vigilante hacking group, used GPS data embedded in the photo to locate the fast food restaurant’s address and reportedly contacted the franchise andĀ FoxNews8. “Whoever this is is getting fired,” a morning shift manager named Andrea, told theĀ Cleveland Scene.
Bryson W. Thornton, Director of Burger King’s Global Communications, wrote in a statement to Yahoo! Shine:
“Burger King Corp. has recently been made aware of a photo that shows a BURGER KINGĀ® restaurant employee violating the company’s stringent food handling procedures. Food safety is a top priority at all BURGER KINGĀ® restaurants and the company maintains a zero-tolerance policy against any violations such as the one in question. The restaurant where this photo was taken is independently-owned and operated by a BURGER KINGĀ® franchisee. The franchisee has taken swift action to investigate this matter and terminated the three employees involved in the incident.”

I don’t eat at my local Burger King because they don’t wear gloves.
I don’t think proper food handling techniques are very high on the corporate list of priorities.
Nice tracking! You guys bagged the dancer.
Any food handled by third party is NOT Clean Food.
Any food that is outside your control is NOT Clean Food.
Unless you ‘KNOW’ say ‘NO’.
I worked on and off at these places since the 70s. Nothing has changed. I would not give servers or cashiers a hard time. Most food borne illness is from restaurants.
Fast Food is Murder! Fools! Why would anyone getting paid shit, to serve shit, to the fat, shitty people of this country even care about health conditions. What do you expect? Its like sanitizing shit! Anyone whoever worked in the food service can tell you, that the conditions aren’t sanitary. I’m all for this Protester, because he knows he can get a job at Mcdonalds across the street and do the same Things. Props
No one forces you to work at any fast food resturant. You know what the pay is when you go to work there and if you are going to do shit to the food then you should be fired and prosecuted if possible.
A lot of people have to eat at fast food resturants because that is all they can afford and they deserve clean food when they eat there.
