(Newser) – Chalk one up for 4Chan: A Burger King employee posted a photo of himself on the forum standing in trays of lettuce with the caption, "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." Yeah, 4Chan users didn't think it was all that funny, either. Within 15 minutes, they used the GPS data in the photo to figure out that it came from a store in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, then put the word out, reports HyperVocal. Said employee is now out of a job.

A reporter from Cleveland Scene called the store and talked to a breakfast manager, who hadn't seen the picture yet. "Oh, I know who that is," she said after doing so. "He's getting fired." In a statement, Burger King said the "franchisee has taken swift action to investigate this matter and terminated the employee involved in this incident," according to Fox 8.

This is the reason companies hate to hire teenagers. They do stupid, immature crap. Everyone in my town knows that Burger King is the most filthy, obnoxious place and no one eats there.  The employees are slobs, dirty, crude and rude.
