Pizza Hut responds to video that shows district manager peeing in kitchen sink in West Virginia
The surveillance video that captured a still unnamed District Manager urinating in a kitchen sink in a Kermit, West Virginia Pizza Hut has gone viral and Pizza Hut headquarters has responded.
The company responded in a written 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.”
The Mingo County (WV) Health Department on Tuesday ordered the Pizza Hut in Kermit, about 85 miles southwest of Charleston, to shut down. A department notice posted on the restaurant’s door said conditions in the restaurant constituted a substantial public health hazard.
The Pizza Hut restaurant is franchised by Rage Inc. out of Wichita, Kansas. Rage Inc. operates six Pizza Hut locations in West Virginia. The restaurants are located in Credo, Chapmanville, Danville, two in Logan and Kermit.
As with any viral video, the comments are a plenty and downright funny:
“Stop pissing around and do your job”
“That’s why the crust is yellow… Makes sense now”
and
“How disgusting. He didn’t even wash his hands!”
