Teen Takes Bath At Xenia Burger King

XENIA, Ohio -- An unbelievable video is now showing on myspace and now on whiotv.com.  A teenager celebrated his birthday by taking a bath in the utility sink at the Burger King in Xenia.

25-year old Timothy Tackett of Xenia, who calls himself "Mr. Unstable", admits he took the bubble bath in the Burger King sink on his birthday.

Greene County Health Commissioner Mark McDonnell was emailed the video and is now using it as evidence. In the video, the teenager dumps water on himself using a bucket marked with the words, "sanitary solution." But McDonnell said this sink is used to clean utensils and there is nothing sanitary about what this teenager did.

McDonnell said, "Any bacteria on his skin could have been deposited giving people food poisoning." And to make matters worse, the person recording the video allegedly told the Burger King manager what was happening, but she continued to count cash.

Burger King Corp. was notified of the incident Monday, and is cooperating fully with the health department.

Burger King Corp. said, "We have sanitized the sink and have disposed of all other kitchen tools and utensils that were used during the incident." 

A Burger King spokeswoman says two employees involved in the incident were fired and another quit.

Additionally, the remaining staff at this restaurant is being retrained in health and sanitation procedures.

What others are saying

  • This man should be jailed for one reason or another. Then BK should sue him for every penny they have lost over this man immaturity.
  • Don't let this one slip by !
    This man should be locked up and BK should send him a bill for all of the lost business they are losing over this.
  • Teen?
    You are probably confused by this level of immaturity, but your headline is wrong. Mr. Tackett is TWENTY-FIVE, not a teenager.
  • I'll never eat at BK again
    They say the sink has been sanitized, but that's little comfort, considering the manager apparently knew what was going on. What does that say about their managers and hiring practices? I will never eat at BK again. I won't be surprised if they have a PR headache ahead of them because of this.
