Now I’ve heard of some strange things people have done in the name of conservation, such as building rooftop solar panels out of beer bottles to conserve energy, but I never thought that a Burger King employee would go out of his way, on his birthday, to conserve water by bathing in the restaurant’s sink.

This is an actual story that happened in Xenia, Ohio. The teenager dumps water on himself from a bucket labeled “sanitary solution” in the very sink where utensils are cleaned. (I hope that he’s not sitting on a spatula).

Here is a news clip with the video:

And to make matters worse, the person recording the whole incident told the manager on duty what was happening and she completely ignored it!

Burger King says it has “dealt” with the bathing employee and has sanitized the sink and utensils.

Personally, I still would not want to eat anything that came in contact with that sink.

Conserving water in a responsible way is one thing, but using it to bathe and then wash dishes in is another thing.

Okay, I doubt that the teenager was concerned about saving water, but it’s better to think that instead of what else was going on in his head.
