When you order pizza, sometimes you need a special request — extra ham, maybe half olives, easy on the sauce. And usually special orders are at the customer's request and they don't involve bodily discharge.
Not so at the Conover, North Carolina Domino's Pizza.
After purposefully contaminating food with various body parts and having their actions posted on YouTube, two former Domino's Pizza employees were fired and are now reportedly facing arrest.
The Charlotte Observer reports the young employees, who identified themselves as Kristy and Michael on several highly viewed videos online, had warrants issued for their arrest Wednesday.
The videos show Michael willfully sneezing on food, picking his nose and putting snot on cheese sticks, passing gas on meat, and wiping his rear end with a rag before rubbing a pizza pan with it. All the while, Christy is heard laughing and documenting Michael's stunts.
Upon preparing the cheese sticks Kristy tells Michael: "Now it's ready to be sent to some unlucky customer."
Michael is also seen taking a piece of cheese and putting it in his nose before placing it in what appears to be an Italian oven baked sandwich.
Although Christy boasted about being "lazy" in the video, she also mentioned to Michael that the two ought to open up their own restaurant.
According to the Observer: "Domino's officials responded to the video Tuesday, sending out a news release that said, “We are appalled by the actions of these individuals and they do not represent the 125,000 hard-working men and women of Domino’s Pizza across the country and in 60 countries around the world.
This isn't the first run-in with the law for Kristy, who is known to friends as Kristy Lynn Hammonds. According to the FamilyWatchdog.us sex offender directory, Hammonds is a registered sex offender who was convicted of sexual battery in June 2008. The victim's age is not listed.
The original YouTube clip was taken down but portions of its are included in people's responses to the footage as well as in a local TV station's report on the incident.
