CONOVER -- The Domino’s Pizza store that captured national attention after fake videos were posted on YouTube has closed its doors.
Closed signs have been placed in the windows and the phone has been disconnected.
Two former employees at the Conover store allegedly made a video of themselves tampering with food while at work -- breaking a number of sanitation laws in the process -- and posted it on the popular video-sharing site. The video showed two people sneezing on food, putting food in their noses and then on a pizza, and performing other unsanitary actions. The video received worldwide attention.
The employees, Kristy Hammonds, 31, of Taylorsville and Michael Anthony Setzer, 32, of Conover were charged with contaminating food. Setzer's brother, Chase Setzer, told WCNC that the video was meant as a joke.
Tim McIntyre from Domino’s Corporate says the employees of that store have been victimized by their co-workers and have all lost their jobs because of the prank.
McIntyre also says other Domino’s pizza stores in the area, including Charlotte, have felt the impact of the video.
