<p>Pizza boxes have been known to advertise movies, TV shows and athletic competitions. But this time, employees at a pizza shop in Georgia got something particularly unique.</p>
<p>U.S. Customs and Border Protection has recently confirmed a marketing campaign involving graphic pizza boxes encouraging those interested to join the Border Patrol with a QR code linking to their careers page — but some small businesses receiving the boxes aren't exactly on board with it.</p>
<p>One such operation is Mojo Pizza N'Pub in Decatur, Georgia, just north of Atlanta.</p>
<p>The restaurant's prep cook said he got a call offering pizza boxes for free.Why did Border Patrol advertise with pizza boxes?</p>
<p>CBP issued a statement last week saying they work with the MarCom Group in Virginia to support their marketing and advertising efforts. As part of their recent recruitment efforts, MarCom initiated a campaign in Atlanta to coincide with the SkillsUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference, an annual week-long event that includes trade shows, workshops and seminars related to career and technical education. The campaign included advertising at the airport and on said pizza boxes.</p>

<p>We are awaiting word back from MarCom Group as to how many pizzerias received these boxes, but the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has so far confirmed that Mojo Pizza N'Pub is one of the restaurants that have received them.</p>

<p>The restaurant's prep cook, Chad Dumas, said he got a call offering pizza boxes for free without realizing what they would be promoting. When 100 of these boxes showed up, the staff was not pleased.</p>
<p>"I don't want it in my restaurant that I work for," Dumas said. "I live in one of the most liberal cities in Atlanta... I don't want that to go out. It's propaganda."</p>
<p>The staff reportedly burned all but a few boxes at an employee's nearby home.</p>
