Little girl asked to leave KFC

[Lepplady]

A little girl disfigured by a Pittbull attack was asked to leave a KFC restaurant because her face was scaring customers.

Terrifying, I tell ya.

I just can't believe how ugly people can be. And I don't mean the beautiful little girl. I mean the jerks that asked her to leave, and everybody around that let it happen. That includes other customers as well as workers.

Yeah, people rarely let you down in their effort to be d-bags.

Nothing wrong with that little girls face. I've seen much scarier behind the counter at KFC.

The fruits of political correctness.

Some people are just plain f'kin stupid. Clearly.

 

[Spideyman]

What gave those employees/ and the customers who may have complained the right to judge "beauty". She is a sweet innocent little girl.

 

[Dana Jean]

How awful! How could they do that to that little person and the people who love her? I'd fire the whole bunch!

A jihad on that KFC crew...AND the people who asked the KFC management to remove paying customers, who weren't doing anything but ordering (and paying for!) food with their little girl.

I've been on the receiving end of that kind of bullsh*t, too, although I wasn't old enough to remember.
Being the world's most allergenic child, I was given a sulfa derivative drug to combat whatever allergy du jour I was having when I was 18 months old. It was the first time I'd had sulfa drugs and the docs had no way of knowing I was more allergic to them than I was to whatever they were trying to treat.

The first three layers of my skin bubbled up and sloughed off while I ran a fairly high fever. According to my parents, who thought they were going to lose their only child, it was painful and a disgusting mess to see. I looked so awful that the sweethearts at the Stanford pediatric clinic asked my parents to enter the clinic with me through the back door....so that I wouldn't alarm other parents and children.

Awwww...that child is beautiful...look at that face! Some people just plain suck.

 

[HollyGolightly]

I'm shocked that this still happens these days. That's such an uneducated, cruel thing to do. Shame on them.

That's awful! How scary about that allergy!

The sad thing here is she actually doesn't look too bad to me. You can see that something happened to her, but she is the farthest thing from scary I've ever seen. She is still one beautiful little girl, and for those people to do that is totally unacceptable. The company can investigate and apologize all they want, but it will never be enough to make this child feel good about herself. She will always have that horrible memory.

I'm hoping this story will turn into a big PR nightmare for KFC. Also, could the parents file some sort of law suit? I don't know. Bad publicity and a hit to the wallet would serve as a warning to other businesses to be more sensitive when situations like this arise.

 

[king family fan]

This is so awful.people are so very cruel.

 

[GNTLGNT]

...no question in my mind, that the sub-humans that made this "disfigurement" an issue should have been given a dunking in the deep fryer...

I imagine this is going to be a big embarrassment to KFC, which will issue, or will by now have issued an apology, and yes there's potential of a lawsuit here; though I think the parents might choose to not want to cause the child more embarrassment vi a lawsuit.

You know what's really horrifying? Their food! WTH happened to KFC? At least in my part of the world, I think they messed with the secret recipe. It got to the point, I just couldn't eat it anymore it was that bad and I used to love KFC.

KFC should ask the chicken to leave the building.

From the bottom paragraph in Lepplady's link:

KFC officials sent an email to WAPT in response to the incident.

"KFC launched an investigation as soon as we were made aware of this report. We take this very seriously, as we have zero tolerance for any kind of hurtful or disrespectful actions toward our guests. Our investigation is ongoing, but we have been in touch with the family and are committed to doing something appropriate for this beautiful little girl and her family. We will also work with the franchisee to take appropriate action at the restaurant once the specifics of the incident are determined," said KFC spokesman Rick Maynard.

Victoria is on antibiotics and still has more surgeries ahead of her, but she's doing well, her grandmother said.

"She surprised us. I think she surprised everybody. She's a fighter," Mullins said.

They should ask Elvis to leave the building. Elvis and the chicken. They could both cross the road and then we'd know which came first.

....I think in most cases anymore...the fault lies with the franchisees and the staff that they hire...Corporate needs to overhaul their hiring processes in whatever business venture...too many slack-jawed idiots are hired, because they are a warm body to fill a hole in their schedule-not because they have any people skills...that's why I think Undercover Boss is a good show, because somewhat contrived or not-it allows the powers that be to see some of the true genetic deficient morons that get hired and represent their businesses...as well as the rare gems...

Looks like the pretty little girl was treated badly, and jeers and sneers to the employees who apparently did so, and while I don't know or care about KFC, I have to say that their statement was very nice indeed.

I'll just say that there's only one version of the story that's out, but in any version, our heart has to go out to the little girl who has to be suffering far too much in her young life right now.
