Dumbass Burger King Slave Posts Lettuce Stopping Pic

From Huff Po: The tech media likes to describe Internet image board 4chan as a lawless, unruly place, but apparently there's justice in the Web's Wild West after all.

An anonymous 4chan user and Burger King employee posted a photo of himself stepping in bins of lettuce to the site on the evening of July 16. The original poster captioned the image with "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King."

But some 4chan users were appalled by the image and decided to take action. They grabbed the GPS data included in the picture in an effort to pinpoint where the photograph had been taken, the Cleveland Scene reports.

In addition to contacting local news media in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, where the image originated, users also managed to pull up the address and telephone number of the exact Burger King location where the event allegedly took place. E-mails and phone calls quickly followed.

And according to Hypervocal, it only took 4Chan users about 15 minutes to expose the alleged perpetrator.

A montage of the 4chan users' responses was posted to Reddit on Tuesday.

The Huffington Post contacted a manager at the Mayfield Heights Burger King, who said that the alleged perpetrator was a long-time employee. Though the manager refused to disclose other details, she stated this was the employee's first disciplinary incident in his employment history.

The Cleveland Scene spoke with a shift manager about the incident, who said that both the employee and the shift manager on duty at the time of the incident would be fired.

Why the fuck would someone DO THAT to perfectly decent lettuce?

See? The internet isn't all that scary a place. 4chan, anonymous, /b/, they all do good things from time to time. Not that I'm condoning most of their behavior, but people seem to think that the internet is an entirely soulless black hole of a place from whence nothing good can come. Love the instances where those sites prove people wrong!

4chan doing a good thing for the sake of being nice? Seriously? No way. They probably found it wildly entertaining to nail this guy.

You don't do bad things to people who don't deserve them on 4chan at least not anymore. Seems that 4chan is somehow growing a collective conscience, it used to be within minutes 15 people would be telling him to add his own special ingredient to the special sauce.

"Though the manager refused to disclose other details, she stated this was the employee's first disciplinary incident in his employment history."
As soon as I read this, I thought, "Hey, first disciplinary incident, at least he made it a big one!" That probably just means that they've never gotten caught before.
But in all seriousness, this is some nasty maneuvering. If I ever caught a co-worker doing something like this, I'd personally shove 'em out the door.

http://www.lebron-10.org Before you meet with a bankruptcy lawyer, make a complete list of all of your assets. Any assets that are not listed in your bankruptcy case can be seized to pay for your debts. Your lawyer needs to see a list of every asset you own to properly advise you on which type of bankruptcy is best for your unique situation, as well as, to protect as many of your assets, as possible.

If you are filing bankruptcy mainly because of credit card debt, http://www.uggs2012.co.uk you may want to consider debt settlement. Credit card companies know that if a person files bankruptcy, they will get little or no re-payment for the debt that person owes. However, if you ask to settle with them for 50 per cent of the total debt, http://www.uggsclearance2012online.com they will at least get some of their money back. It's worth a try!
