Pizza Hut Employee Was Photographed Touching Himself In Drive-Thru By Teenage Girls
Two teens who ordered pizza from Pizza Hut using one of the chain’s drive-through services claim they caught a male employee at the window fondling himself.
The two teenage girls, whose names have not been released, snapped a picture of the employee with his hand down his pants at a Lexington, Kentucky-area Pizza Hut this past Sunday, according to Gawker.
As soon as one of the girls’ moms, Sandy Brentlinger, learned of the incident, she took to Pizza Hut’s Facebook page to post the girls’ picture and write:
“My daughter and her friend were in line waiting on our pizza and the guy there kept his hand down his pants playing with himself the whole time. The girls actually took pictures while they sat there. They called to ask for a manager to let him know what occurred and spoke to a Zack, who informed them he was the manager and he’d speak with the other guy.”
The two girls, however, believe that “Zack” was the same man who was allegedly caught choking the chicken.
Of course, the girls did not eat the pizza. Brentlinger said:
“We did NOT eat the pizza, in fear that he did fondle himself and obviously he’s NOT washing his hands. I’m just appalled that my child and her friend had to witness this!”
The story soon went viral on Facebook and Reddit.
According to an update Brentlinger posted afterward, the man in question was swiftly fired after her complaint was posted to Facebook:
“Update: I have gotten in touch with Pizza Huts main headquarters, they are taking this serious. He was fired before they were even notified. . . I also contacted the health department and explained my fears of him just going to another food chain. I assure you I’m not just going to let it go. I’m not just upset about what happened to my girls but concerned for the community and how this could effect all who have eaten here while this man was employed there. I never expected this to be shared the way it has. I just got on Facebook to vent because I couldn’t reach anyone at the time.”
Gawker noted that, when calling the Lexington Pizza Hut, an employee was not forthcoming about the incident but did confirm that a manager had been recently fired. It was the only comment made from that location, and so far a statement from Pizza Hut’s headquarters has not been released.
