Domino's

I read an interesting article today about the fate of Domino's Pizza. Apparently a couple of nefarious employees thought it would be fun to pull some hygencially questionable shenanigans in the kitchen while preparing some food for delivery. But........they also decided to video tape it. Read the article:


Pranks show how clever or immature you might be. Filming the prank shows how creative or bored you might be. But posting a video of you violating health standards at your work place just shows a level of stupidity that illustrates why you are working at Domino's.

This of course begs the question, "does Domino's even have a health standard?" Does anyone even eat Domino's pizza unless it's 2am and you're trashed out of your mind? The 24-hr delivery policy alone simply barks the statement "Is the room spinning? Give us a call!" "Are you vearing off the road? Give us a call if you make it home!"

No offense to anyone who eats at Domino's, sometimes that's all you can do. Living in New York, I tend to fall back on a consistent alternative option called ANY OTHER PIZZA THAT'S AVAILABLE. Residing in NYC does make it hard to justify ordering Domino's when there's so many mom and pop pizza joints just around the corner. But I digress.

This story was about two very dumb people who were obviously bored at work. A recent Domino's spokesman had this to say about the tragedy,
“Even people who’ve been with us as loyal customers for 10, 15, 20 years, people are second-guessing their relationship with Domino’s, and that’s not fair.” Again I ask, does one really need 10 years to second guess their relationship with Domino's? I just need til the following morning, or pretty much right after my last slice. It's amazing to me that when these things happen some spokesman or GM is shocked and appauled. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that these employees (or any fast food employees) were not recruited at a job fair at Princeton. I myself have been fired from a fast food chain for some unfortunate instances. However, my firing was over something much more mature and honorable.......my drawer came up short $25. I was asked to turn in my drive thru headset--a sad memory to this day--and leave the premises.

I think this is a lesson to all fast food workers.....STAY IN SCHOOL.
