| An unwanted topping caused a West Virginia district manager to lose his job. |
You've ever complained about the wrong toppings on a pizza?
I bet you have, cause I've done it before. I ordered a pizza with extra mushrooms and they've gave me olives. Not saying that black olives are bad and all, but man you've can't have a decent deluxe pizza without the mushrooms.
Anyway out of the Charleston, WV area comes another You Can't Fix Stupid story.
Besides the coal company destroying the water sources, many in the media haven't really focused on it. After all, the poorest state in the United States has often been ignored because of its social inept residents.
This You Can't Fix Stupid story is going to be a recurring theme here at Journal de la Reyna.
Whenever I devote my time to these stories, I often talk about the service industry and the negative publicity it gets from those who are employed doing extremely stupid things. Not only putting their safety at risk, but their jobs and the reputation of the company at risk. Not to mention the possibility of lawsuits and time in the iron college for these antics.
WOWK has reported that a Pizza Hut manager in Kermit, WV was watering the snake in a washing sink.

| Not the restroom. |
Pizza Hut responded to the video with the following 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."
Concerns over the video have continued to circulate around the community of Kermit, where the restaurant is located.

| The state health board shut the place down temporarily. They have to sanitize and retrain workers and built back its reputation as a quality food service. |
"I would never go there and eat," said Blanche Ferris. "Even if I did, the thought would run through my mind."
Mingo County's Sanitarian Brett Vance closed the restaurant Tuesday morning after watching the video. He said it will be temporarily closed until further notice.
Pizza Hut Incorporated has confirmed the man in the video was the District Manager and has since been fired. In an email to 13 News, a representative from Pizza Hut Incorporated said the Kermit location "did not have previous problems reported. Meaning, it was a store in good standing."
A cleaning crew is flying in from Texas to clean and sanitize the Kermit location as well as the other restaurants the District Manger was in charge of, including Pizza Huts in Ceredo, Danville, Chapmanville and Logan.
All of those locations are franchised by Rage Inc. 13 News reached out to Rage Inc. for the second day in a row. On Tuesday they did not return our call. On Wednesday they referred us to Pizza Hut Corporate.
"If it was cleaned, washed, fixed up I wouldn't care a bit to eat there," said Charles Jude, who said he was a "regular" at the restaurant.
