XENIA, Ohio -- A teenager celebrated his birthday by taking a bath in the utility sink at the Burger King in Xenia.Greene County Health Commissioner Mark McDonnell was e-mailed the video and is now using it as evidence, NewsChannel5 partner WHIO-TV in Dayton reported.In the video, the teenager dumps water on himself using a bucket marked with the words, "sanitary solution." But McDonnell said this sink is used to clean utensils and there is nothing sanitary about what this teenager did."Any bacteria on his skin could have been deposited giving people food poisoning," McDonnell said. And to make matters worse, the person recording the video allegedly told the Burger King manager what was happening, but she continued to count cash, the station said.Burger King Corp. was notified of the incident Monday, and is cooperating fully with the health department.Burger King Corp. said, "We have sanitized the sink and have disposed of all other kitchen tools and utensils that were used during the incident. We have also taken appropriate corrective action on the employees that were involved in this video.Additionally, the remaining staff at this restaurant is being retrained in health and sanitation procedures."
