Checkers

For you brave souls who still order fast food prepared by high school dropouts and hoodrats, you may want to watch the video after the break.

According to the NY Daily News, a food service worker at a Baltimore-area Checkers Restaurant was videotaped using a hamburger bun to wipe the floor. She then dressed the bun with special sauce, pickles, lettuce and tomatoes.

A male employee is heard off-camera using profanity.

Amazingly, Checkers later claimed the employees were only joking, and they claim the sandwich was never served to a customer.

Instead of terminating the employees for unprofessional behavior on the job, Checkers created their own video explaining why the children misbehaved.

“I, like you, am appalled and disappointed by what I saw in that video,” said Lori Malcolm, Checkers’ senior vice president of human resources.

“We spoke to the employee in the video and her mother, and the employee is very sorry and embarrassed about what happened.”

I guess it’s easier to make the employee apologize than to hire and train a new employee?

EDIT: I watched the Lori’s video in it’s entirety. The employees were terminated. She should’ve said that in the beginning.
