KFC removes worker after claims food was laced with pubic hair

Just the thought of finding a pubic hair in your takeaway food is enough to make you vomit.

Perhaps that’s why KFC took the tough action of suspending an employee over claims on Facebook she laced an order with the, er, private parts.

A message on the social media site’s “Spotted Cardiff” page alleged a worker sabotaged a customer’s meal in revenge for rudeness, Walesonline reports.

Spotted Cardiff is a page for Facebook users who “need to get something off (their) chest?”

The anonymous post appears to target a group of females who had threatened a female staff member at the Cardiff Excelsior Road drive-through in the UK because she “needed to smile more”.

A spokeswoman for KFC told Walesonline: “We have investigated this incident and although there was an altercation in the drive-through between the customers and a member of our team, we 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 behavior, and therefore the employee was suspended as soon as the matter came to our attention.”
