The Burger King Foot in Lettuce Photo

If you know me, you know I lovesssssss me some Burger King; a whopper with cheese and a mango smoothie ALWAYS hits the spot. So if you're a fan like me, then I know you're gone be PISSED when you read this post.

Some disgusting ass Burger King employee in Mayfield Heights, Ohio thought it'd "cute" and "funny" to take a picture of someone standing in the bins of lettuce with their filthy ass shoes and then post the picture on the website 4chan. -__-

According to digitallife.today.msnbc.msn.com;
Mere moments after the photo was first posted, some 4Chan users identified the Burger King location at which it must've been taken. (The individual who posted the photo apparently forgot to strip it of its geo-location tags.)

4Chan users, apparently disturbed by the prospect of shoe dirt in their Whoppers, began calling the Burger King in question, and forwarding the photo to local news outlets.

The folks at Cleveland.com were among the FIRST to make a report about the incident after the Mayfield Heights Facebook page that they run was bombarded with posts in regards to this feet-in-the-lettuce picture.

Bryson Thornton, director of global communications for Burger King, confirmed to me that the photo was indeed taken at a Burger King location, though he clarified that it happens to be "independently owned and operated by a Burger King franchisee."
"The franchisee has taken swift action to investigate this matter and terminated the three employees involved in the incident," he said, after giving me a standard statement, which I suspect was painful to draft:

Burger King Corp. has recently been made aware of a photo that shows a Burger King restaurant employee violating the company’s stringent food handling procedures. Food safety is a top priority at all Burger King restaurants and the company maintains a zero-tolerance policy against any violations such as the one in question.

I hate to cuss in this post but y'all know I don't play when it comes to my money, my kids, and my food and this motherlover SERIOUSLY violated... They lucky they butts wasn't in Jersey because I woulda tore that place down.
