Taco Bell Worker Fired After Shell-Licking Pic Goes Viral

 

A Taco Bell employee who thought it would be a fun idea to have his photo snapped while he licked a stack of taco shells was fired after the picture went viral on Facebook.
One Facebook user who posted the pic on Taco Bell's Facebook page received a response from the restaurant chain saying that they were taking swift action against those involved.
"This sure says a lot about your employees, food treatment, and what they post on the internet", wrote the user.
Taco Bell responded to the user, saying, "We have strict food handling procedures and zero tolerance for any violations. We believe this is a prank and the food was not served to customers. We are conducting an investigation and will be taking sweift action against those involved."
On Tuesday Taco Bell released a statement that the employee is being terminated.
"Our franchisee is responsible for the employment and conduct of his restaurant’s employees and he has informed us that he immediately suspended the employee shown in the photo and is in the process of terminating his employment. The employee who took the photo no longer works there. As we complete our investigation we will work with our franchisee to implement any additional action we find appropriate to address this situation and ensure it never happens again."

New Billboard at NYC's High Line References Biggie

 

On Monday the High Line in New York City revealed a new billboard commission from the artist Raymond Pettibon. Pettibon converted his 2010 drawing "No Title (Safe he called...)" into a billboard-sized work that features Jackie Robinson on home plate.
On the left of the work appears the quote "Where Brooklyn At?"; an obvious salute to Brooklyn hip hop legend Notorious B.I.G. Below the scene appears "Moses: 'Out!" which is a pun on the baseball phrase as well as a reference to Robert Moses, the notorious former NYC chief of parks, roads, and public housing. Moses was responsible for the Dodgers relocating from Brooklyn to L.A., and if he'd had his way, a super-highway would cut through where Greenwich Village sits today.
The Highline is a unique park in NYC that sits atop an old elevated train track.

Bank Employee Fired After Dropping Over $100K Into River

Think you're having a bad day at work? At least you aren't this guy.
An employee of a bank in Austria was canned after dropping 90,000 euros (nearly $117,000) in cash off a bridge into a river, Agence France-Presse reports. The man was transporting the money between branches when he stopped to fix a flat tire and placed the bags of cash on a steep slope, then watched in horror as the money fell.

As for the cash, police told AFP that it would be "absolutely senseless" to search for the money, given the tricky mountain terrain and waterfalls along the river.
