Domino's Rogue Employees Do Disgusting Things To The Food, Put It On YouTube
Here are three clips of Christie Kristy and Michael, a couple of not-that-bright idiots getting themselves fired, and quite possible sued, by doing unsanitary things to customers' orders on camera while their manager sits in the back reading the newspaper. "Whiteair2" posted them to YouTube in the last day, and now everyone knows that Michael likes to put cheese and peppers up his nose.
Update: Some of our readers managed to track down the Domino's location and alert corporate.
There's also a bare-butt video (possibly nsfw) that had already been pulled from the YouTube page before we got to it, but goodasyou.org managed to grab it before it disappeared. Click through to their site to see Michael rub a kitchen sponge in his butt crack before scrubbing a pot with it. Or, you know, just trust us and don't.
Also, Kristy admits to reading "sTori Telling," which is a different but equally repellent sort of crime.
(Thanks to Bob and Vincent!)

I hope they get everything thrown at them as far as legal consequences go.
Ohhh boyyyy do i hope someone raids that dominoes ASAP
I like to pretend that these kinds of things don't happen while I'm happily devouring my Wendy's chili. Videos like these destroy my fantasy world.
Looks like the dominos I worked in... 18 years ago
Well, I've completely lost my appetite. I realize that stuff like this goes on in places like that, but...Christ.
And how idiotic do you have to be to post it on YouTube?
Those punks took away all the magic as to where the food comes from...
We all "know" at some point someone has tampered with our food or tended not to follow best practices when preparing our order at a fast food eatery. We don't need to have PROOF that it happens. I hope the people in the video NEVER get a job in the food service industry and are regulated to janitorial or warehouse jobs.
It would be the ultimate stunt if they did that like 20 years ago and were just releasing the tapes now. Could they be charged with something so long after the fact?
I used to work at a Dominoes in the late 80's. I still order pizza occasionally, but I make sure I only order from one place that's good, and I tip extraordinarily well. I only get like 5-6 pizzas a year (trying to stay healthy and all), but they know me now. And my pizza comes very, very fast, always hot, and I'm 99.9% sure that there have never been any bodily fluids on any of the pies I've ordered. They call me "sir" and pet the dog and they get paid well for it.
You people who only tip the pizza guy like a buck (or worse, don't tip at all) have almost certainly eat stuff you really don't want to think about too much. And there's no way to stop it, since everyone knows your address by now.
I haven't watched the video, but I can imagine those guys knew who was getting that pizza.
I worked in a Kitchen for 13+ years, started off in Fast Food and worked my way up. I can tell you this is something very common and one of the least disturbing things I have seen.
One reason why I barely eat out anymore. I would rather cook my own meal at home where I know I wont die or pick up some disease or some tasty food poisoning!
Hopefully these two are fired and fines or sent to prison.
as if i needed another reason to never eat dominoes
It's bad enough that you always have to wonder about food and employee issues at any restraunt, but to actually see what asshole do makes it way worse. I hope these people get more than fired.
@JerseyCelebrity: I doubt the health department would catch anyone there in the act of doing that stuff now that the videos are up on the Web. Can this particular Dominos even be identified from the videos? I only watched the first one.
@PSN: kingpsyz: Looks like the Jack-in-the-Box I worked in. Some people who work in fast-food are just plain horrible people. Amusingly enough, the manager eventually got fired for something similar to this. I would never encourage this activity.
Just sayin.
This has to be criminal, and there better be criminal charges.
Dominoe's food doesn't need any help being disgusting, kthx.
@Hyman Decent: There's a reply from Domino's on the site linked in the story:
"Thank you for bringing these to our attention. I don't have the words to say how repulsed I am by this - other than to say that these two individuals do not represent that 125,000 people in 60 countries who work hard every day to make good food and provide great customer service. I've turned this over to our security department. We will find them. There are far too many clues that will allow us to determine their location quite easily.

Tim McIntyre
Vice President, Communications
Domino's Pizza, LLC"
I worked for Dominoes back in the mid-80s, and this stuff was happening back then, too. At least the idiots didn't have access to a digital camera and YouTube back then.
About the only thing I did was splash a little jalapeno juice on a pie for a customer that was way, way over the top on the phone. He cursed out the 16yo girl taking the orders and drove her to tears.
I order my pizzas from Round Table now and we don't do delivery. Only carry out where we can watch them make and bake.
Well, you never know what happens between the preparation of the food and you putting it in your mouth at fast food joints or restaurants. So when you pay for a meal you are turning the wheel and can only hope it lands on "safe" and not "tainted". Sad thing is you will probably never know one way or the other.
On a personal note I hate Dominoes because the high honcho in the chain is a douche bag.
Extremely Fired! Super, insanely FIRED! I would foam at the mouth and scream like a psycho if I was the manager in that shop.
I think I would fire them......with a FLAME-THROWER!!!
There is a Dominos behind my apartment, I haven't ordered from them for a long time, and now I am afraid to ever order from them again.
I don't mean to sound overly paranoid...but I'm fairly confident this happens at most restaurants.
Then again, what food won't make you sick these days?
Peanut products? Mad cow beef? Pistachios? Baby Spinach?
@Sam Wille: Lighten up, I was only trying to inform you. I wouldn't have responded to an obvious typo or even a misspelling.
At most fast food joints here you can see whats going on behind the counter but who knows what got into the ingredients before they put them out. The only exception seems to be Subway where they pull everything out of sealed plastic bags, but even then someone at the warehouse making this food could have sabotaged it in some way or sneezed in the bag in the back before bringing it out.
But its probably the least riskiest at Subway, since they are making it right in front of you and pulling most ingredients out of sealed plastic bags. If they wanted to sneeze in the lettuce and someone walked in while they were doing it (provided this wasn't a mall location where people are constantly about) they would likely get in big trouble for it. They don't make everything in the back room like other restaurants.
I don't go out to eat a lot and basically your risking it wherever you eat, doesn't matter what chain it is and if I worried about stuff like this constantly I would probably end up in the mad house.
@wee0x1B:
No one has the right to do that, you get paid a base salary and it is of no one's obligations to pay a tip, i don't know why it is customary to do it, it should only be done if the service was good.
Just because you pay extra money, means the people like you enough they wont piss in your food? That's bullshit and some people have morals, not these people though.
Dominos is shit anyway and you should order real pizza
@savdavid: Do you mean Tom Monaghan (if I remember his name correctly)? He sold the company quite some time ago.
@Sam Wille: I didn't say anything about the misspelling of the company's name in the post's headline, even though it's in a large font size.
@wee0x1B: I put myself through highschool working for a pizza chain. The drivers made minimum wage PLUS the tips. That's more than a restaurant server makes. There are lots of chains that charge a "delivery fee" and so those drivers sometimes get stiffed out of a tip because not everyone knows that that money doesn't go to the driver, it goes for insurance costs.
None of that means that anyone has the right to spit in my food. We had plenty of rude customers who treated us like crap -- but myself, my managers, and my co-workers all agreed that messing with someone's food is not only disgusting, but totally bad ju-ju.
@Outrun1986:
I don't know about the food being sabotaged in the factory stage, don't they have many levels of quality control?
And i dont see a reason for someone to spit into lettuce or something as they dont know who its going to, unless theyre just sick fucks originally
So that's why their food tastes like crap..
@ddesigns:
I worked at multiple fast food places while in high school and periods in college. My experience is the opposite of yours. My managers, coworkers, and when I was a manager, took food integrity very seriously. If we dropped something it got thrown out. Every time you left the food preparation zone and came back, you washed your hands.
I never once saw a person or heard from anybody else of someone tampering with the food. The food industry is a terrible place to work and most people are trustworthy and of good character. Don't let the bad apples allow you to assume the next fast food worker that is serving you is scum.
A Google search for whiteair2's only friend on YouTube, lilangel6979, brings up an email address with the same lilange6979l username connected with an old Xanga page apparently from Houston. Its definitely not a sure thing, but it fits with the southern accents.
So happy I have not eaten Domino's in a very long time. I do not even like it as stoner food any more.
@b.k.: Yeah, it doesn't look like they're sorting out the cheese only to poor tippers' sandwiches. It wouldn't matter how much you tipped your delivery guy in this case--you'd still be screwed.
@invisiblenemies: Yeah it does. The restaurants I worked in would do nasty shit to nasty customers. Even some nice customers.
Oh I'm sure. Multiple counts of attempted poisoning? conspiracy to poison? Not to mention getting fired, having your face and name plastered across the headlines of major blogs and newspapers.
disclaimer: IANAL
@Microshock: These guys don't seem to be caring who it's going to, though. I'm not convinced revenge is the only possible motivation.
@Hyman Decent: That is about the 10th miss spelling I saw on this site today. Not even counting the posts....I am just talking about the articles.
@invisiblenemies: I worked in a kitchen for a year and a half and not once did anything like this happen, ever. Even for some real d-bags who sent the food back multiple times to piss off the chef. We had some level of civility, courtesy, and class.
Aside from being unsanitary, Christie should be fired for being the most annoying person to ever exist. Anyone else feel like she had a major crush on Michael in that 5th grade kind of way that isn't at all cute?
@Outrun1986: It's not even a barrier at Subway. It still happens. Some guy actually stopped to scratch his crotch part way through the sandwich making and continued right on. I was pretty shocked and he started cussing me out when I said I didn't want the sandwich any more.
Wow, now these clowns won't even be able to get fast-food jobs. Talk about sabotaging yourself.
