Morning Coffee With Mr. Unstable
In a video entitled Morning Coffee With Mr. Unstable, a Xenia, Ohio Burger King employee decided to treat himself to a bubble bath in one of the large sinks in the restaurant for his birthday. Posted on MySpace, the video shows a young man joking and laughing with other employees as well as with the store manager while he is taking a naked bubble bath in a stainless steel sink.
Eventually, the video came to the attention of Mark McDonnell, the Greene County, Ohio Health Commissioner. McDonnell immediately sent staff members to investigate the health code violations. After the incident, the sink was sanitized twice, all the utensils were disposed and all the employees involved were fired.
