A Pizza Hut employee
in Virginia USA, has lost their job - simply because they fulfilled a
customer’s special request.
The unnamed customer said
her two sons (aged 12 and 15) asked for
a joke to be written on the pizza box when they placed an order online.
The employee duly obliged and gave them this joke:
“What do a pizza
delivery driver and a gynaecologist have in common?”
The problem was that
the punchline to the joke is a bit rude. So the boys' mother complained on a local radio station,
and the employee was dismissed from their job!
But not everyone
agrees with Pizza Hut’s decision. Several people took to the restaurant’s
Facebook page and set up a hashtag to demand #JusticeForPizzaGirl.
We will watch this
case closely and report back if the unfortunate employee gets her job back!
Just in case you were
wondering about the punchline of the joke: “They both have to smell it, but neither of them get to eat it.”
