A video showing a Popeyes employee at a restaurant in Chicago destroying the kitchen has gone viral.
The person is seen destroying products and equipment in retaliation for not receiving a paycheck. One comment points out that the employee had not been paid for a month.
According to Fox Business, TikTok user Sarah (@itsrah26) posted a now-viral video of the unidentified man cutting open bags and boxes of food and other damage in the fast food restaurant on Tuesday. As of Thursday morning, the video had nearly 101,000 views.
More than one video of the restaurants destruction was posted. A third clip showed what the person did to the stockroom. The employee overturned shelves, turned over bins, and then opened boxes of food, dumped the contents on the floor, and created a mass of raw chicken, French fries, liquid, and more. There was also damage to cash registers, and electrical cords were cut. The unnamed person destroyed most parts of the restaurant.
Fox Business says, The final video clip reads at least he got his money while showing an empty cash drawer on the counter and panning to the window where police officers and a Chicago police vehicle can be seen outside the restaurant.
The videos comment section has over 400 comments, and many users are taking his side. One person said that they would do something similar if they did not receive payment for a month. Another comment states that the employee went ballistic but stated that the person was right to do so.
However, everyone wasnt on his side. Other commenters stated that it was the wrong way to go about things. They said he could have hired a lawyer and quit sooner. Another stated that he could have sued the company and received a generous settlement check. However, now they are not getting anything.
According to Fox News, it is unclear if the employee was arrested.
