Think you need to fire your boss for being an idiot yet?
A health inspector noticed rodent droppings Monday. A contractor laid out glue traps and caught six by Tuesday morning. An employee called the health department to report the mice and says her bosses fired her.
Health inspectors closed a Pizza Hut restaurant in east Raleigh after a worker found live mice inside it. The employee who notified the health department about the mice says she was fired for reporting the problem.
The restaurant scored a 90 during an inspection on Monday, but the inspector noted rodent droppings behind an ice machine. The inspector says the droppings weren’t enough to close the restaurant because she didn’t see any live animals inside during the inspection.
A contractor laid out glue-covered boards Monday night to get rid of the rodents, and an employee found six live mice stuck to the boards Tuesday morning.
That employee called the Wake County Health Department, and an inspector ordered the Pizza Hut closed. The inspector also pulled the restaurant’s permit so it can’t operate until the rodent problem is corrected.
A spokesman at Pizza Hut’s corporate office says he expects the restaurant to reopen Wednesday.

Thats ridiculous. Next time employee, stfu and get back to work. The boss is doing everything to keep the mouse problem away, and you go report it and get his restaurant closed?? Thats BS. Its not his fault mice came in. I have field mice come into my basement all the time, and I have to use glue traps. You cant stop them, you can only hope to contain them, and you PUNISH you own boss by reporting him to get closed down. Quite pathetic. I hope you never run your own business. Probably wont because you are too big of a dumbass.
