Today's Jackass Watch:
Apr. 17th, 2009 10:07 amVideo Prank at Domino’s Taints Brand
When two Domino’s Pizza employees filmed a prank in the restaurant’s kitchen, they decided to post it online. In a few days, thanks to the power of social media, they ended up with felony charges, more than a million disgusted viewers, and a major company facing a public relations crisis.
In videos posted on YouTube and elsewhere this week, a Domino’s employee in Conover, N.C., prepared sandwiches for delivery while putting cheese up his nose, nasal mucus on the sandwiches, and violating other health-code standards while a fellow employee provided narration.
Way to go, guys. Not only have you lost your own jobs, but you've probably put everyone else who worked at your location out of work. And damaged a huge employer in a recession economy. And your response?
Ms. Hammonds apologized to the company in an e-mail message Tuesday morning. “It was fake and I wish that everyone knew that!!!!” she wrote. “I AM SOO SORRY!”
SOO SORRY. Well, that makes everyone whose job is on the line feel soo much better.
But never fear. These aren't the only jackasses out there.
