New York, Dec 12 : Three KFC teenage workers have been sacked for turning the restaurant basin into their personal hot tub.

Three teenage girls working for northern California KFC lost their jobs after one of workers posted the scantly clad photos on MySpace.

The photos included captions such as "haha KFC showers!" and "haha we turned on the jets," and were filed under a gallery called "KFC moments," according to the Record Searchlight newspaper in Redding, California.

The 17-year-old girl had listed herself worker at the Anderson KFC near Redding on her MySpace page.

"I''m a KFC worker, they are my best friends and my family," she said on her site.

According to Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) spokesman Rick Maynard, three were suspended Tuesday - and have since been fired.

"KFC has zero tolerance for violations of our operating standards, and our franchisee has taken immediate action by terminating the employees who were involved," the New York Daily News quotes Maynard as saying.

An assistant manager told the Record Searchlight that no manager was on duty when the steamy photos were likely taken and that the trio closed the restaurant themselves.

Four months earlier a Burger King employee had also lost his job for taking a bubble bath in a restaurant sink. (ANI)
