Florida: A man in Florida was fired from his job at Wendy’s after a video surfaced showing him bathing in the kitchen of a restaurant he worked at.
The man, an employee of the American fast food restaurant chain Wendy's, was filmed taking a bath in an industrial sink at the franchise's Milton location, reported by Northwest Florida Daily News.
The video has gone massively viral online, collecting over a million views on Facebook and disgusting many patrons of the popular chain.
The viral video shows the employee stepping into a sink of soapy water wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. Other employees are heard laughing and cheering him on. Once inside, he proceeds to wash his armpits and comment on how warm the water is.
"We are taking this incident seriously and it is obviously totally unacceptable. This was a prank by a person who no longer works at this restaurant, and who clearly did not use good judgment.
