KFC Employee Caught Standing Barefoot Where Your Food is Made!

At the Seniors Discount Club, we're all about ensuring that our members are well-informed about the places they eat and the food they consume. That's why we're bringing to light a recent incident that might just make you think twice about where you grab your next bucket of fried chicken.

In a scene that seems more fitting for a slapstick comedy than real life, a KFC worker in Queensland was caught in a rather compromising position. The employee, in a move that defies basic food safety standards, stood shoeless on a benchtop where food is prepared.


The scene has since sparked a wave of concern over the hygiene practices at the popular fast-food chain.

Now, we all know that cleanliness in food preparation is no joke, especially for us seniors who may have more sensitive immune systems. The thought of bare feet near where our food is made is enough to turn many stomachs, and it's not something we expect from a reputable establishment.


KFC has been quick to respond to the incident, confirming that the actions of the employee were not in line with the company's strict hygiene policies. They've assured the public that they are committed to meeting and exceeding Australian standards, including Australian Work Health and Safety requirements, to ensure the safety of both customers and employees.

The company spokesperson stated, 'We expect every restaurant to comply with these standards and are investigating the incident with the franchisee and management team. Action will be taken to ensure our high standards are met in the future.'

While it's reassuring to hear that KFC is taking the matter seriously, it does raise questions about the training and supervision of staff in fast-food outlets. It's a reminder to all of us that vigilance is key, and if something doesn't look right, it's important to speak up.


As seniors, we've seen enough to know that mistakes happen, but when it comes to the food we eat, there's little room for error. We encourage our members to always keep an eye out for any questionable practices when dining out or ordering in. And if you do encounter something concerning, don't hesitate to report it to the management or relevant authorities.
