Two fast-food employees take hygiene to new level

Advance, N. C. _ Two fast-food restaurant employees who bathed in a dishwashing sink took their hygiene a bit too far -- but didn't pose a health threat, the county's health director said.

The caper came to light when a photograph developer spotted pictures of the men taking turns posing in bathing suits in a large sink full of bubbles, said Barry Bass, director of the Davie County Health Department.

"From a public-health standpoint, you want the employees to be clean," said Bass, though he added the employees may have overdone it.

The sink at the Wendy's restaurant has cleaning jets and is used to wash pots, pans and other cookware.

Bass said the restaurant won't be cited for any health-code violations because no health official directly observed a violation.

The restaurant's manager assured health officials the sink had been sanitized and that it wouldn't happen again, Bass said.

This is what I'd call the understatement of the year.

They must be. The next time you head into Wendy's, think clean dishes.

Luckily I don't think we have Wendy's here in Australia anymore.

I've worked in enough (American-franchised and other) eating establishments (and know a lot of true stories much dirtier than that one!) without one more, thanks.

Hmmm, nah, maybe you could send us Taco Bell... yummmmm

If we did that, we'd be contributing to the poor health of Australians. We might provoke more lawsuits against McDonald's, Taco Bell, Burger King, and what not.

It's clear that we, American, capitalist pigs have corrupted you with our greasy fast food. God, why do we go on living. :) HA! Sarcasm for you. Is it morning or evening there?

Afternoon. I should be doing the washing and cleaning. But as usual, I'm simultaneously FReeping and reading up on various esoteric subjects... I love the Internet... biggest timewaster known to man (or woman)...
