| Dupe URL: Halal KFC worker has a bacon-related meltdown |
| 2011-01-05 |
An employee at a Halal-friendly KFC restaurant in Sydney was suspended after he was videotaped screaming vicious insults and threats towards a customer. The outburst happened on December 26, allegedly after a customer got upset after being refused bacon on their burger. One employee can be heard saying "we don't have bacon" before the other begins shouting. "Don't record me bitch!" he yells while approaching the counter. "Don't f---ing record me!" The employee continues to scream and hits the cash register display on its side, before other workers grab him and take him outside. "I'm gonna f---in break your head bro," he says to the videotaper as he is led out of sight. A KFC Australia spokesman said the employee had been suspended over the incident and offered counselling. "KFC Australia strongly condemns the behaviour of the team member who appears in the clip and sincerely apologises for this very inappropriate reaction," he said. But the spokesman also said the employee may have been harassed by the customer before his meltdown. "As part of our continuing investigation, KFC has been offered statements from other customers who were in the store at the time," the spokesman said. The video was put online by YouTube user "farkie", who wrote that the outburst stemmed from an argument over bacon. "We asked for bacon on the burger, when we complained about there being no bacon," they wrote. [h/t Jawa Report] |
