The KFC Sinkbath Trio
I am sure you’ve heard about this story by now. Easily the best “dumbass” story of the year! Three young female employees of a KFC in northern CA decided (after hours, thankfully) to take a bath in the sink. First of all, I didn’t think the sinks were that big (I am quite amazed) but secondly, the story points to the stupidity of the current young generation… or maybe it’s just a complete lack of understanding of how the Internet REALLY works.
20 years ago when I was a kid, teens did these stupid things, yes. I am not sure if it was to this extreme, but we did dumb stuff. But we didn’t have a broadcasting tool like the internet to share it with the whole world. Some would argue that the internet’s power and ability to make you famous within certain circles drives this type of stupidity – I tend to agree. Taking a bath in the sink at work is one thing – but you don’t post it on the internet for all to see unless you have zero knowledge or understanding of the fact that putting it there means everyone can see it – OR, you have to have wanted to put it there for the attention.
Either way, this is where monitoring software could have helped. While it may not have prevented the girls from making this post (unless parents blocked MySpace), PC Pandora monitoring software would have let the parents know immediately about the post and could have had them take it down quicker and given the “talking to” that these little ladies REALLY needed.
Bottom line: kids do stupid things. But does the power of the internet drive the stupidity further and then exponentially raise the trouble they find themselves in? Yes or no, PC Pandora computer monitoring software can help parents try to curtail the stupidity before it’s too late and a seemingly childish act becomes a national joke.
Good luck finding work in the future, girls…
LOS ANGELES – They serve fast food, but they’re slow learners.
Four months after a Burger King employee lost his job for taking a bubble bath in a restaurant sink, three scantily clad teens were fired when they turned a basin at their northern California KFC into their personal hot tub.
They landed in hot water with the chicken chain’s management when one of the bikini-clad dimwits made the same mistake as the Ohio Burger King employee – she posted photos of the dippy escapade on MySpace.
The photos included captions such as “haha KFC showers!” and “haha we turned on the jets,” and were filed under a gallery called “KFC moments,” according to the Record Searchlight newspaper in Redding, Calif.
The story broke before the unidentified girl could scrub public access to her profile. On her MySpace page, the girl listed herself as a 17-year-old worker at the Anderson KFC near Redding.
“I’m a KFC worker, they are my best friends and my family,” she said on her site.
The three were suspended Tuesday – and have since been fired, said KFC spokesman Rick Maynard.
“KFC has zero tolerance for violations of our operating standards, and our franchisee has taken immediate action by terminating the employees who were involved,” said Maynard.
An assistant manager told the Record Searchlight that no manager was on duty when the steamy photos were likely taken and that the trio closed the restaurant themselves.
Burger King bagged 25-year-old Timothy Tackett in August after a four-minute video of his birthday bath in the sink of a Xenia, Ohio, restaurant landed on MySpace and YouTube.
Tackett appeared to be naked in the sink.
Burger King promised to work with the health department to retrain staffers in proper sanitation procedures.
