it s 3:00 a.m. in xenia, ohio, and the staff of this burger king is closing up shop. manager karen craig is counting cash, and machines are being cleaned for the next shift. nothing out of the ordinary, except employee timothy tackett, a 25-year-old aspiring rap musician, is taking a bath. it s my birthday, and i m taking a bath in the sink at burger king. tim s been working the late shift at burger king for a year, and that utility sink has always captured his imagination. i thought about it for a couple of months. because it was big enough to fit in, that s where the whole idea ever came from. and it s got jets in it. get the jets working at the old bk. i was like that s just a stainless steel jacuzzi right
i want some eggs or some sausage biscuits, french toast sticks. the stunt is an act for tim s myspace page where fans know him as mr. unstable. macy, you should totally go get our manager and tell her that i m really in the sink. but he insists that no one else is in on the stunt before the camera starts rolling. hey, karen, he s in the sink. is that okay? do you want to come see? it s pretty funny. you can t see his penis or nothing. i hope not. everybody thought it was funny except for the manager who was still counting money. the whole time she thought we were kidding. she never imagined that i was really in the sink. i would say stuff every night, i m going to do this. and mike s like, don t do it. like i said, the sink thing, i had mentioned that three months ago. like i m going to take a bath in that sink. but everybody always brushed it off because i would say crazy stuff all the time.
king employee for several years, is sorry too. sorry for anything that they think i did. i had no part in it. i feel that burger king has done me wrong. burger king released a statement after the incident saying workers are being retrained, and, quote, we have sanitized the sink and have disposed of all other kitchen tools and utensils that were used during the incident. as for macy and tim, they re both living in xenia, and their job prospects have been few and far between. there s really no hope of getting a job. at first i was thinking this cancels out restaurant work. but if i go in anywhere, i m a pretty recognizable person at this point. so if i go in anywhere for a job, this guy is going to give us problems. he s going to be insubordinate. he s chaotic. we don t know what he s going to do. i m pretty much canceled out of any kind of real job. and if it s not television or music or something like that, then i don t think it s happening at this point.
cover myself up. i didn t think about this part. i didn t bring anything to dry off. the video is posted on myspace that same morning, but tim has no idea just how much of a stir his short film will create. tim s bubble bath generates hundreds of thousands of hits on the internet. he s asked to make national television appearances. all good for his music, but not good for his resume. he and his co-workers are all fired. i figured i would get fired when i did it, but when everybody else got fired, that was the part that surprised me because really no one had anything to do with it, aside from the girl that filmed it. that girl, macy, is sorry she and tim didn t edit out their other colleagues. i regret that they got in trouble or had to have anything to do with it. manager karen craig, a burger king employee for several years, is sorry too. sorry for anything that they think i did. i had no part in it. i feel that burger king has done
