Ever feel like nothing is secret any more because of the Internet? You may be right. It took 4Chan users only 15 minutes to track down and bust the Cleveland-area Burger King employee who stood on top of two containers of shredded lettuce and then posted a picture of the gross act. 4Chan is a bulletin board-type website where members post images and comments.
"This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King," wrote the unnamed employee on the evening of July 16. Guess he thought that was funny. Other users weren't laughing: according to Hypervocal.com, Anonymous, the notorious vigilante hacking group, used GPS data embedded in the photo to locate the fast food restaurant's address and reportedly contacted the franchise and FoxNews8. "Whoever this is is getting fired," a morning shift manager named Andrea, told the Cleveland Scene.
Bryson W. Thornton, Director of Burger King's Global Communications, wrote in a statement to Yahoo! Shine:
"Burger King Corp. has recently been made aware of a photo that shows a BURGER KING® restaurant employee violating the company's stringent food handling procedures. Food safety is a top priority at all BURGER KING® restaurants and the company maintains a zero-tolerance policy against any violations such as the one in question. The restaurant where this photo was taken is independently-owned and operated by a BURGER KING® franchisee. The franchisee has taken swift action to investigate this matter and terminated the three employees involved in the incident."
Still, make mine a burger, but hold the lettuce.

The unfortunate truth, mostly because stuff like this is abused nowadays.

How the hell did they get GPS data out of a picture? Sounds more like they tracked his IP down...

That's how Apple gets you. They want to know where you are at all times so that they can find you. They know where you live/work as long as you possess one of their products.

Most smartphones support GPS tagging of pictures. It's pretty cool for when you upload them to photo sharing sites and you can get a world map of where you've taken your pictures. Even my old, entry level Nokia 5230 can do that. But it's funny if it's enabled by default on iOS devices.

Oh my god. This is worse than me witnessing a Carl's Jr employee who cleaned the floor and without washing her hands, grabbed raw patties to cook them.

They also had the time stamp on the image. I also saw the thread when it happened on 4ch. Was pretty funny.
