A Virginia Pizza Hut employee was fired after writing an off-color joke inside of a pizza box that the customer found to be too saucy and inappropriate.
The customer, who declined to be named publicly, said that her two sons, ages 12 and 15, asked for a joke to be written in the box when they placed the food order online in Stafford, WJLA reported.
‘My son ordered a pizza online and under the special instructions he requested a joke,’ she explained.
