KFC employee suspended after ‘putting pubic hair in customer’s meal’

Fast food firm KFC has suspended a Cardiff employee over a social media site posting claiming a customer’s order had been laced with pubic hair.

A message was posted on the Facebook ‘Spotted Cardiff’ page on Friday alleging that a member of staff at the firm’s Gabalfa drive-thru had placed hair on a customer’s food order as part of an apparent revenge attack for rudeness.

“To the girls who came through KFC drive thru on western avenue just then, between 1pm and half 1. Threatened my friend who served you because she ‘needed to smile more’? Karma’s a bitch girls, hope you enjoyed your food I made for you after over hearing the way you spoke to my girl on the head set be picking pubes out your teeth for a week, mwah xo,” the message posted 9 a.m. Friday read.

A spokeswoman for the fast-food purveyor told Walesonline that there was an “altercation in the drive-thru” between customers and a worker, but they “do not believe the food was contaminated in any way.”

“We have the highest standards of food hygiene and do not tolerate even the suggestion of this kind of behaviour, and therefore the employee was suspended as soon as the matter came to our attention,” the spokeswoman said.
