Job ad: American pizzeria steers clear of stupidity

A pizzeria in Ohio, USA has sparked strong reactions on social media due to a poster saying it hires “not stupid people”.

While some people found the whole thing comical, not everyone felt the same way, so one person placed a fake order for $100 at “Santino's” pizzeria, located in the southwest of Columbus.

“Oh! I laughed. I laughed it off, but I get it […] I get where they're coming from because you want someone working here who understands taking orders or serving,” explained Natasha Fox, a client at the restaurant, in an interview with the local news channel WSYX.

Despite everything, the owners of the restaurant received several positive comments on social networks. Indeed, many people found the whole thing comical.

“It’s more humor than anything else. It wasn't to target anyone or be rude,” said Jayden Dunigan, the owner's daughter.

Having worked in the family restaurant for years, Dunigan said many people who are engaged do not really want to work. It is with the aim of denouncing the lack of ethics of these people that the famous announcement was made.

The poster which is sowing controversy has also been installed for two months, added the young woman, stating that she has attracted more customers to come and taste their pizza.
