I'll Pass On the Big Taste Bailout

Earlier this week, two of Domino's most idiotic employees somehow managed to turn on their computers and upload videos of themselves doing disgusting things to disgusting food, therefore making it and their place of employ disgustinger.

I won't post the video here for a few reasons:

1. Everyone (including my grandmother) has already seen it;
2. It's really fucking gross, and;
3. Blogger's being really annoying about video embed sizes. See post below.

Anyway, the two Employees of the Week were revealed to be the now-arrested 32-year-old Michael Setzer and 31-year-old Kristy Hammonds. Both have been arrested. Now, I don't want to stereotype all service industry employees (because, err, I'm one of them), but should it be at all surprising that two people stupid enough to do revolting things to food and videotape it and put it on YouTube while still employed by the location in which the revolting things were done and are in their 30s are working at a shitty pizza chain?

Christ. These people are even dumber than those morons who took a bath in the sink at KFC. Clearly they are not degree-holding citizens of industry.

Oh, right, I should also mention that Kristy Hammonds has been arrested on previous occasions for burglary, assault, and sex with a minor.

I appreciate Domino's president's public apology and all, but wouldn't it be easier to -- ahem -- swallow if we knew there were more extensive background checks (or maybe any background checks at all) for future employees? It's already a pain in the ass when my delivery guy can't count change (literally, he's so incapable that it's become a sort of policy for whomever takes the order to make me aware of the problem), now I have to worry about snot cheese and sex offenders, too?
