pizza hut goes overboard

[MeepMeepZoom]

I guess the management technique of slight oversight, well structured goals and benchmarks for performance, coupled with decent pay, good food and a good judge of character of staff has kind of slipped the equation if jamming cell phones to control staff was in effect.

Most establishments just need hot waitresses and good food and they flourish lol

Honestly people, can't you go an hour without your cell phone? What is the big deal?

Nothing worse then a Hot Pizza Cheese stuck to the roof of your mouth , then your cell rings and its someone asking what your doing ?

I don't think anyone is arguing that you should be a douche with a cellphone in a restaurant. Just the opposite.

But at the same time, a restaurant doesn't have the right (in fact it's illegal) to jam your phone. What if a doctor on call can't receive an important phone call and someone dies? What if a firefighter or other emergency worker can't receive an important call? What if your babysitter needs to know where the allergy medication is located? What if someone is having a heart attack and you need to call an ambulance? I'm sure you can think of other reasons that a person may want to have a phone that isn't jammed in a restaurant.

This is why jamming phones is illegal. And I'm sure this is the reason that Pizza Hut isn't jamming anymore. Can you imagine the liability if your jamming caused someone's death or something?

At the same time, if you're a douche and talk (loudly!) on a cellphone in a quiet restaurant, then maybe they should ask you to leave.

I haven't been in Pizza Hut for months due to the fact their employees are rude and leave you can leave you waiting up to 20 minutes. Now I'm intrigued, it's a punishable offense to knowingly be operating a cell phone jammer in a public place and I almost want to go eat there to see if it is still in place.

If it is, I'll be having a little talk with the CRTC.
