Internet 1, Idiot Dominos Employees 0

So in what may be the most incredible bout of e-sleuthing I have ever seen, Consumerist commenters have managed to track down the individuals responsible for these disgusting videos (click through for the Consumerist page, all videos SFW). In a nutshell, two Dominos employees took some videos of each other doing disgusting things to the food they were about to send to customers, including sneezing on the food, putting cheese up their nose and then back onto the sandwiches, and rubbing a kitchen sponge between their buttcheeks before using it to clean a pot.

Enter e-sleuthing.

Based on nothing more than the Youtube username (whiteair2- now defunct) of the uploaders, a brief glimpse of the view from a window as the camera panned past the drive-thru (visible for like 2 seconds about a third of the way through the third video), and the accent of the individuals, Consumerist commenters were able to not only find their approximate location but the exact store they worked for and the manager's email address and phone number. Needless to say, they sent off some emails immediately (including a few to Dominos corporate) and whooooooo is this gonna turn into a shitshow for those two dumbasses. Take a look at the comment string in question:

A Google search for whiteair2's only friend on YouTube, lilangel6979, brings up an email address with the same lilange6979l username connected with an old Xanga page apparently from Houston. Its definitely not a sure thing, but it fits with the southern accents.

@Amy Wilson: southern? I got like....southern hemisphere from Christie. I was thinking Australian transplant for her...I didn't care to watch any more of the video in order to hear Michael's charming voice.

@katstermonster: Yeah, I know what you mean. She did say "ya'll," though, and I thought Michael also had a southern accent.

Dear Mr. McIntyre,

It appears that readers of the popular blog "Consumerist" have
identified the location of the Dominos that featured so prominently in
some rather disgusting online videos. The restaurant in question
appears to be the one located at:

509 10th St NW, Conover, North Carolina

The article, in which online sleuths "Amy Wilson" and "whyerhead" made
the discovery, can be accessed at the following URL. The discussion in
question occurs on page two of the comments:

Yours,

Jonathan Drake, concerned consumer.

Ooooooo are they gonna get it.....
