Houston Astros vendor fired after taking snow cones into bathroom

Baseball is still boring. Unless there’s an outbreak of explosive diarrhea because a vendor takes a tray of snow cones into a stadium bathroom and puts it on the floor of the stall while using the facilities.

A fan shared a video with the local NBC affiliate, which aired a report astros24s-3-webWednesday night.

(There’s always cameras watching; everything is public.)

New Astros president Reid Ryan says in a statement: “The Astros were notified immediately by our partner ARAMARK of the incident involving a vendor on Monday night. We commend the swift reaction displayed by ARAMARK of terminating the employee immediately upon learning of the incident that evening.”

ARAMARK, which runs all of the food services at the ballpark, says this was an isolated incident and that the vendor’s actions were “a clear violation of our food safety practices and are not reflective of our standards.”
