Burger King Employee Stands on Lettuce


Ever feel like nothing is secret any more because of the Internet? You may be right. It took 4Chan users only 15 minutes to track down and bust the Cleveland-area Burger King 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 to Hypervocal.com, 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 and FoxNews8. "Whoever this is is getting fired," a morning shift manager named Andrea, told the Cleveland Scene.

The restaurant where this photo was taken is independently-owned and operated by a BURGER KING® franchisee. The franchisee has taken swift action to investigate this matter and terminated the three employees involved in the incident."

Good for 4Chan.

Most likely just a couple of stupid kids, but I hope charges for contaminating food are filed against them.

Reading the article I posted earlier...  when they posted the original photo to 4chan they even left the Geocoding info attached to the photo...   which was obviously accurate enough to track them right to the local Burger King 8* 8* 8*

I'm thinking they'd all only need small kids crowns because their heads can't be all that big anyway ;D ;D ;D

Yeah I saw that. I just think that anyone that messes with food should be charged with a crime.
