You Can't Fix Stupid! [NSFW]

You can't fix stupid.

This is a theme among the retails. Fast food giants hire people to serve quality food and service to its customers. Nowadays you have the workers, treating customers badly. Throwing around racial slurs if you're not tipped right. Tampering with their food by spitting or leaving body elements in it. Workers even steal from their employers. By eating food, taking money and making the workplace dangerous.

Still this example here is a reason why employers are trying to cut hours for workers.

Again what you post on the social networks could put you in a position in which you may end up being fired.

It may get you unwanted media attention. It may lead to you getting death threats and public shaming.

This example makes Black people look really bad. You what these type of Black stories goes front and center in the junk food media.

This stupidity may affect a business.

The Newser people took the opportunity to post a story about "licking". I don't know what it is, but I can tell you the picture is self explanatory.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that fast food giant Wendy's is investigating the case of an employee who was captured eating soft serve ice cream straight from the machine in a viral photo Wednesday.

A photo of the worker was posted on Reddit Wednesday morning with the title, "I was going to buy a frosty from Wendys until I saw the employee do this."

Bob Bertini, a spokesman for Wendy's, responded late Wednesday that he just saw the photo.

"If true, this is totally inexcusable. We are investigating and will take action," Bertini wrote in an email to the Journal Sentinel.

A commenter on Reddit pointed out that the photo appears to have been taken behind the counter. The person said the photographer was a fellow employee.

The Wendy's worker is the most recent fast food worker to gross out potential customers in a viral photo.

The photos may be posted as a harmless joke (or, who knows, in an attempt to get someone fired maybe?), but viral photos have caused a lot of bad publicity and harm to the companies they target, so businesses tend to crack down hard on the culprit.

The last fast food worker who pulled a similar viral stunt, a Taco Bell employee who licked a stack of taco shells, was fired.
Add caption. Really add caption to this utter ignorance.
The Taco Bell worker who was licking a stack of taco shells in a viral photo on Taco Bell's Facebook page Monday has been fired for his prank, the worker confirmed with a photo on Reddit Monday.

The worker caused a lot of bad publicity for Taco Bell Monday morning, when the photo went viral, in part fueled by a post by The Consumerist.

Taco Bell spokespeople stayed mum on the photo for several hours, but finally got around to responding to the viral attention Monday afternoon, hinting at the impending firing in this response to AdWeek:

"Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and team members, and we have strict food handling procedures and zero tolerance for any violations," the chain responded. "When we learned of the situation we immediately contacted the restaurant's leadership and although we believe it is a prank and the food was not served to customers, we are conducting a full scale investigation and will be taking swift action against those involved."

The official statement from Taco Bell seemed to confirm speculation in the Consumerist story that the Taco Bell shells may have been headed for the trash bin and not served to customers.

Still, the photo's caused disgust with many consumers who were thinking twice about going to Taco Bell.

"It really doesn't matter if the food was to be thrown out or not," said Sabrina McMurphy in response to the Facebook post. "He is a representative of Taco Bell while working and in uniform and by doing this and posting it online for the world to see he is ruining the reputation of the company... Who would want to go to a restaurant if there is the possibility that their food is being licked?"

Another user, and former Taco Bell employee, came to the defense of the employee in the photo.

"I know the person in the photo, not just from work, but from school as well; and I know that he is not dumb enough to lick a stack of taco shells and then serve them to the public," Wes Abdi wrote. "There is a 99% chance that that stack of Tacos was getting thrown out, as in: getting thrown away, so it's not as if they were going to be served to anyone... This was obviously done out of humor. I know most of you don't see it as this, but this is friggin hilarious, sit back and just laugh at it."

They're laugh at you and others for the utter stupidity you and your co-workers done at these establishments.
