Wendy's Worker Update: Company Fires Worker Captured Eating Ice Cream Straight Out Of Machine

Wendy’s has fired an employee photographed slurping ice cream straight out of the same machines used to make the company’s popular Frosty deserts.

A photo of the worker instantly went viral after someone posted it on Reddit under the caption “I was going to buy a Frosty from Wendy’s until I saw the employee do this.”

On Friday, company spokesperson Bob Bertini told the New York Daily News the still unidentified worker is no longer with the company. "We don't know the exact date the photo was taken, but we believe in it was in May," the News reported Bertini wrote in an email. "The incident was totally inappropriate, and we're taking it very seriously."

The Wendy's episode comes just days after another fast food worker sent shock waves through the industry when he was digitally captured licking a stack of taco shells at a California-based Taco Bell restaurant. Though company officials later determined the shells were destined for the trash bin, they still immediately terminated the wayward worker.

Taco Bell officials also claimed the shells in question were specifically provided to workers to practice making the company’s new Cool Ranch Tacos and were never intended to be sold to the public at large.
