The video has sparked a range of reactions online:
- @IamEmmanie_H: “Eh, better safe than sorry. I’m not their target market anyway. Their pizza is awful.”
- @whitehobo_inc: “Roman’s Pizza has the best pizza in South Africa. Every food process can have flaws, and honestly, it’s better to see this than hear about worse issues like staff mishandling food.”
- @BBK29_: “Their pizza is as terrible as their practice of reusing dirty boxes. Every branch I’ve been to has been awful, and this is just another reason why.”
- @vusi_mygy: “This is disappointing. For a big franchise like Roman’s Pizza to not follow health and safety regulations is unacceptable.”
- @TumiTemo: “It seems the employee might be reacting to the mistreatment by management at Roman’s Pizza. What’s next for them?”
