A shocking photograph was posted onto Taco Bell's Facebook page yesterday showing an unnamed employee licking a long stack of taco shells. The image was posted onto the company's official page by 'Jj O'Brien Nolan', along with the comment 'This sure says a lot about your employees'. The employee hasn't been identified nor has his relationship to the poster.
However, some commentators are speculating the outlet is in Ridgecrest, California. Others claim it is just a joke and the shells were stale and headed for the bin rather than for public consumption.
In April, a KFC worker posted photographs of herself licking a pile of mashed potatoes on Facebook and was promptly fired by her employer.
Last year, three Burger King employees from Ohio were fired after images of them standing in two bins full of shredded lettuce were uploaded to their Facebook pages.
And in another shameful Taco Bell image, a worker tweeted a photograph of himself urinating into a plate of nachos in August last year.
‘I pissed on them where nobody could see, in private, an[d] I threw them away. There’s literally nothing they can do. Fire me. I don’t care,’ Cameron Jankowski of Fort Wayne said of the photo.
Taco Bell took him up on his offer and he was relieved of duties immediately.
The latest fast food atrocity is likely to result in the same fate for the taco-licking employee, if he is indeed still working there.
