Burger King Worker Fired After Taking Bath In Sink
News net 5 ^ | UPDATED: 1:17 pm EDT August 13, 2008

A Burger King worker in Xenia, Ohio, took a bath in the restaurant's kitchen sink.

Timothy Tacket, the employee, was fired. He said he did it because it was his 25th birthday and he wanted to do something entertaining.

"It's the other people who have been affected by this. I made my own bed, so I'm going to have to lie in it," Tacket said. "But anybody else's lives that are personally affected, I really regret that -- that's not what was the intention. This, it was something that I set out light-hearted and funny, turned into bad."

The Burger King also fired the other employees who watched as well as the store manager.

The word “nitwit” was coined just for people like this.

News Center 7's Gabrielle Enright spoke one-one-one with Timothy Tackett. He is the man who took a bath in a sink at a Burger King in Xenia, Ohio. ... he apologizes at the end.

Remember the finger incident and Wendy’s. That did quite a bit of damage to Wendy’s sales of chili and Wendy’s sales overall.

I was thinking of that specifically, and that case was even less fair to Wendy’s, given that it was customers who perpetrated the fabricated incident.

Here, there may be a lesson somewhere for franchise owners (will the owner of this franchise have problems with the parent co.?)

He’s an idiot (25 and working at BK — not as manager), but I admire how he was standing up for the other employees/store manager.

The idiot now realizes his manager got fired for his stupid actions and having her on tape. Stand up guy! /s

I have low standards. At least he didn’t seek to avoid responsibility. That’s better than, say, John Edwards.

Jesse Jackson used to spit in peoples food and the restaurant industry survived.

The manager got fired because she was notified of what was happening and shrugged it off to keep counting the money.

Don’t know what wwas so odd about this. Reminds me of something that was done in a messhall many years ago by a non nitwit.
