Checkers Worker Caught on Video Smearing Bun on Floor

A video of a Checkers fast food worker outside Baltimore wiping a hamburger bun across the floor and then making a sandwich is grossing out customers.

A video posted to YouTube recently shows a woman in a Checkers uniform throw a bun on the tile floor of a restaurant kitchen, put it back on the counter and then heap it with toppings as workers laugh.

Checkers spokeswoman Lori Malcolm responded to the video on Wednesday in a video statement.

"I, like you, am appalled and disappointed by what I saw in that video," she said.

Checkers officials spoke with the employee shown in the video, plus her mother, on Wednesday morning, Malcolm said.

"The employee is very sorry and embarrassed about what happened," Malcolm said.

The Checkers workers "in a suburb of Baltimore" were horsing around in the kitchen and the burger shown was "never served to a guest," Malcolm said, stressing the company's high food-quality standards.

The employees involved in the hijinks no longer work for the franchise. Checkers continues to investigate and "explore all of our options."
