Not for the squeamish...

Thursday April 16, 2009

Domino's U.S.A. went into crisis mode earlier this week after homemade videos surfaced showing a Domino's employee sticking cheese up his nose and purposely sneezing on the food (nor was that the worst of it, it pains me to report).

Though the perpetrators insist it was "only a prank" and no adulterated food was actually served to customers, they were fired from the pizza chain's Conover, North Carolina location and face felony charges of "distributing prohibited foods."

Domino's responded with its own YouTube video apologizing for the incident and reassuring the public that its products are safe.

Reports of deliberate food contamination by service workers are common currency in urban folklore, of course.
Tales of cooks/waiters/busboys spitting (or worse) in the food or beverages of obnoxious customers are probably as old as commercial foodservice itself — which is not to say they're always untrue.

Though documented cases are rare, the evidence suggests this sort of thing really does happen from time to time.
The details are suitably repugnant.

Just thinking about all the college kids etc that order pizza on a regular basis...

If you really need to see this, (or Domino's own reply) on you tube, you will have to search out the videos- (takes too long on dial up),

Not sure about all y'all, but I am quite happy making my own pizzas...

XOXO

  1. If anyone NEEDS a reason why you should ALWAYS be polite, there it is.

    Not that I think anyone should NEED a reason.

  2. Gawd I saw this video on one of the news shows....absolutly gross. I never send food back for any reason, I always figure the chef or waiter is gunna spit on it or something....and it always worries me what is happening in the kitchen when we eat or order out.....our theory is, go during busy times so they don't have time to be playing nasty games with our food.

  3. This is totally GROSS!

    I have to say that in all my years of working in fast food, I never did anything to anyones food, EVER! There were times that I WANTED to but never carried it out...

    I can say that I was witness to someone ELSE doing something to a customer's food when I was about 17. Let's just say that this particularly rude customer got a burger that was 'accidentally' dropped on the floor-- and the manager was the one who did it! It was then that I decided that no matter how wrong my food was, I would NEVER, EVER under ANY circumstance, send food back to the kitchen! You never know what might be done to it!
