Ohio pizza shop says hanging 'Now hiring non-stupid people' sign served its purpose
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — It's been about a month since Santino's Pizzeria in Columbus, Ohio, served up a buzz on social media for its non-traditional hiring sign. About a month ago, the shop hung a sign that says, “Now Hiring Non-Stupid People.”
The shop says not only did it bring in business from across the nation after the story went viral, but it also served its purpose and got them some employees.
"We had people call in from Denmark, trying to donate pizzas to buy from us to pass out to the homeless," manager Heather Stockton said. "We're fully staffed, we had some great candidates come in, and they're working out they're really nice, they're on time, they're non-stupid people."
Stockton said even a month later, it's still all customers can talk about.

"People love it. They say it's hilarious. Are you guys putting up any more signs? Can we get some t-shirts?" she said.
The social media post was shared thousands of times, to the point other businesses wanted a slice.
"We had one pizza shop from another state asking if they can get one of their signs."
This sign did so well that it made it from the side of the building to a pizza box. Customers can get a pizza box at Santino's with the "Now Hiring Non-Stupid People" slogan on it, along with a picture of the cartoon Tom and Jerry on it.
