A few days ago videos were posted online showing a few Domino’s employees doing gross things to food they were making, which was then presumably eaten by customers.  See the videos here.

How did the videos get online?  Well, the employees posted them.  That’s pretty stupid.  As soon as people started watching them, they took them down, but as anybody who uses the internet knows, when things are deleted they rarely ever go away.

After the videos were found and posted on the Consumerist blog, some readers were able to track down the location of the Domino’s using clues in the background, and google.  They contacted the Dominos Corporate office.

Today, the employees were fired.

Seriously… what did they think would happen?

Though, if you’re posting videos online of you shooting boogers onto a pizza, I don’t think your top priority is keeping your job.  Still, it’s nice to know their local news has picked up on it (another reason why newspaper shouldn’t die), and hopefully the thought of public humiliation alone would deter any copycat offenses, especially around my area.  In addition, Domino’s is looking into pressing charges for intentional health violations and damage to the brand, so the repercussions might go deeper than just embarrassment and unemployment.

Does anybody know where I can buy a bag of “marbits,” or the marshmallows from Lucky Charms cereal?  I got a hankerin’ like nobody’s business.  I know I’ve seen them before, and Google has been no help this time around.
