In Local News:
Two local Domino's Pizza employees have been fired after videos were posted on YouTube showing them inappropriately handling food.
Domino's officials say the company is considering legal action against the employees, identified in the videos as Kristy and Michael.
The videos were quickly were removed from YouTube. One shows Michael putting cheese into his nose, then placing it onto a sandwich.
Kristy narrates the video, saying, "We all have our secret ingredients. ... In about five minutes they'll be sent out on deliveries and somebody will be eating these. ... And little did they know that cheese was in his nose. ... That's how we roll at Domino's."
The employees worked at the Domino's Pizza located on 10th Street in Conover, North Carolina.
Tim McIntyre, vice president of communications for Domino's, released the following statement:
"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. During our investigation last night, we were able to identify these individuals, who have confessed to a "prank" and claimed that they did not serve any food to customers. The franchise owner will be terminating the employment of these individuals today. We are also pursuing criminal and legal action against them."

Normally, I am loath to censor anything, especially when it benefits a corporation over an individual to do so, but in this case I'll make an exception. I am just glad I do not order pizza from Domino's - never have and never will.
