Bargain bath! Three KFC workers fired for bathing in bikinis in restaurant sink and putting photos on the internet

Three KFC workers have been sacked for using the restaurant dishwasher as a hot tub.



The girls, from Anderson, California, stripped down to bikinis to relax after a long shift at the fast food chain.



They then took provocative photos of themselves, which one of the girls decided to post on her MySpace page.

Captions posted with the photos included 'haha KFC showers!' and 'haha we turned on the jets'.

The manager called Cheri, who refused to give her full name, said: 'The girls are being reprimanded for it.'



She said she learned of the photos, which had been posted publicly on the girl's MySpace.com social Web site, during the dinner rush.

Cheri did not give the names of the girls.

The photos, which appeared to have been posted late last month, showed the girls bathing in the deep commercial sink and posing in their underwear and swimwear.

'I was in shock when I saw it,' Cheri said.

She said no manager was on duty when the photos were likely to have been taken and the three girls closed the restaurant themselves.

In her more than a year at the store, Cheri said she hadn't had any incidents similar to this.

The photos had been filed under a gallery called 'KFC moments.'

On her MySpace page, the girl lists herself as a 17-year-old worker at the Anderson KFC.

'I'm a KFC worker, they are my best friends and my family,' she said on her site.

Although the pictures were available to the public, all of the photos on the girl's site have now been restricted to private viewers.



The incident comes four months after a Burger King employee in Ohio was sacked for taking a bubble bath in a kitchen sink.
