A Costco employee in Ohio is facing charges after police say a coworker caught her doing something very inappropriate with a hot dog while on the job.

Police were called to the store around 4:45 p.m. Investigators say 29-year-old Marissa Cole was working her scheduled shift when she took a prepared hot dog from a warming tray and used it in a way that definitely wasn’t on the menu.

Another employee walked into the food prep area, saw what was happening and immediately told a supervisor. Cole reportedly told police she had “made a stupid mistake.”

The hot dog and nearby food were thrown away, and the food court temporarily closed while the area was cleaned and inspected. Health officials say there’s no evidence any affected food was served to customers.

Cole was arrested on misdemeanor charges including public indecency, disorderly conduct and food tampering and she was fired.

I think calling the cops was harsh but loosing her job was definitely justified!
