Video: Pizza Hut restaurant closed after manager caught on CCTV peeing in sink

A district manager for Pizza Hut in the US has been caught on CCTV emptying his bladder into a sink in the restaurant's kitchen.

Apparently, the sink is used to wash cooking utensils.

After he relieves himself, he runs the tap for a few seconds, neglects to wash his hands, and turns back to his computer.

His action has lead to the restaurant in Kermit, West Virginia, being closed down "until further notice" by health department officials, according to the Williamson Daily News.

The fast food company said they were "embarrassed" and have "zero tolerance" for violations of its operating standards. The worker was fired straight away.

Some of the eatery's patrons have vowed never to eat there again once it opens up after being thoroughly cleaned up and safeguards have been put in place.
