    On the plus side your 10 year old now has a vivid illustration of the term stupid to reference. The behavior was totally inappropriate and the manager should be informed. I shudder to think of what they could do to someone's pizza in the name of peer entertainment.

    What exactly is a "6" wire paper impaler"? I know what all 3 words mean, I just never seen them used in the context that you used them.

    But obviously it sounds like something that should not have been shoved up one's nose.

    The manager on duty should be terminated and the lad who was performing should be sternly repermanded. The kid probably didn't know any better but diffinately the manager should have had him under some supervision.

    Ben ..I think he's talking about one of those long nails up through a base that they use to place the order tickets after use.

    Is doing that bad? na, not at all. But doing in a place of business infront of customers,,, yes.

    I'm sure we've all done plenty of things that would have gotten us in trouble if the customers seen/knew about it... but thats where smarts come into play... you don't get caught lol.

    In my useless opinion it wouldn't have been a big deal at all. As long as he washes up when he's done it was harmless fun. At least they are trying to be productive by working for minumum wage and not hanging out on the street corner selling drugs.

    No big deal?.....It's a frickin restaurant.
    There to pick up a pizza and see some idiot with a 6" nail up his nose....a nail that is used at the counter.
    Does wonders for my appetite...

    When they get bored with the nail.."hey let's plop a lugie in that aholes pizza that took 5 minutes to decide what toppings they wanted"

    Kids will be idiots..that's for sure. I was/am an idiot...but I learned to be one on my own time. You can't prevent kids from being idiots..but you can teach them that
    there's consequences to pay when you're not bright enough to choose when and where it's okay.

    I guess they should've done it after closing time or in the back where customers would not see them. I just remeber some of the dumb ass stuff I did as a teen and a lot of it was much worse than horsing around like that.

    let it go its the mgrs responsibility not yours.
    do you all phone in to the cops to report speeders people whom fail to signal turns

    come on its only a short step from speeding to crashing so we should all call in about it right.

    You know pain is a good teacher the kid will hurt him self sooner or later no question
    What dumb things did you do when you were 17?

    I would have laughed and said to my daughter or grand daughter go ahead marry a boy just like that you will make me proud, and you know how girls always do what their dads and grandads tell them to do right? should work like a charm eh?

    Wouldn't it be a short ride, besides every now and then its fun to watch some jackass crash. ( with no injury of course)

    I say things to the managers from time to time, how do they know if no one says anything.
