A Pizza Hut district manager fixin’ to leak in a sink.

When you go to a restaurant, you’re hoping against hope that everything is clean and sanitized.  Even the place where stuff is sanitized, the humble three-part kitchen sink, itself needs to be clean and sanitized in order to keep bacteria and viruses and food-borne illnesses under control.  You don’t want anyone taking a bath in the sink, but you want it clean enough to where you could take a bath if you wanted to.  That’s why a Pizza Hut store in Kermit, West Virginia, has been immediately shut down by health authorities.  A district manager for Pizza Hut franchisee Rage Inc. was caught on video peeing in the sink.

A sanitizing crew is being flown in from Texas to deep clean both the Kermit location and the other five locations this particular person was the district manager of, all of which were owned by franchisees Rage Inc., not Pizza Hut itself.  However, it’s Pizza Hut that’s getting a black eye over this unexpected potty break.  Mingo County health department officials immediately closed the Kermit location when news of the event came to light, and I have no doubt the other locations are also getting heavily scrutinized, in addition to being scrubbed obsessively.  I get that fast food is bad for you, but this seems a bit excessive!

Said Pizza Hut’s statement:  “First of all, we are embarrassed by the actions of this individual.  Pizza Hut has zero tolerance for violations of our operating standards, and the local owner of the restaurant took immediate action and terminated the employee involved.  While the isolated incident occurred during non-business hours and did not involve any food tampering, we follow strict safety and handling procedures and the restaurant has since been closed.  We apologize to our customers of Kermit, West Virginia and those in our system who have been let down by this situation.”

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
