A Florida Wendy's restaurant has recently made headlines after a video emerged showing one of its employees taking a bubble bath in the kitchen's industrial sink, New York Post reported.
The video was posted to Facebook by user Haley Leach on Tuesday and appears to be footage of a Snapchat video recorded from a phone.
She captioned the video, “I don’t suggest anyone eating at the Milton wendy’s again," and added several vomiting emojis.
"Take a bath," one female co-worker can be heard instructing him. "Get in there."
She later asks him how the water feels and he replies, "Warm. Turn the jets on."
After the person recording the video fetches him a towel, he proceeds to use it as a washcloth and scrub his arms, much to his onlookers' delight.
The male bather lifts his feet out of the water and shows that he is not wearing any socks inside the sink.
Essentially, the employee climbed into a restaurant's sink wearing only a pair of shorts.
“We are taking this incident seriously and it is obviously totally unacceptable,” Mike Johnson, marketing director for Carlisle Corporation, which owns and operates the restaurant outside Pensacola, told New York Post.
“This was a prank by a person who no longer works at this restaurant, and who clearly did not use good judgment. We are taking this opportunity to reinforce our very strict quality procedures with our restaurant team.”
While the restaurant's manager was given specific instructions on maintaining sanitation within the restaurant, this particular location still passed the health inspection.
Despite this, I'd personally still err on the side of caution and perhaps skip taking a trip to this particular Wendy's location. There's probably a McDonald's up the street or something, and I haven't seen anything bathing in their sink yet.
