If you have been on Facebook anytime in the last five days than you have probably heard about the 3-year old girl who was kicked out of a KFC because she was scaring customers. The girl, Victoria, was the victim of a pit bull attack and is badly scared as result. Victoria was reportedly asked to leave a KFC franchise in Jackson, MS last because her scars scared other patrons. Now the company is stepping up and offering to help pay for Victoria’s medical bills, by donating $30,000.
On Thursday June 12 the Victoria's Victories Facebook page posted a picture of Victoria along with the message:
“Does this face look scary to you?
Last week at KFC in Jackson MS this precious face was asked to leave because her face scared the other diners. I personally will never step foot in another KFC again and will be personally writing the CEO.”
The very next morning KFC responded to the post, commenting:
“Please accept our sincere apologies while we try to investigate this incident. If you could help provide details of the incident at social.media@sertec.com and we will look into this immediately. We have zero tolerance for any kind of disrespectful behavior by our team members. Once we have further details, we will immediately investigate this and take action, and we wish nothing but the best for Victoria in her recovery.”
That didn’t stop many commenters for blasting the company and threatening to never patronize the restaurant chain again.
The company however, has reportedly made good on their comment and have agreed to donate $30,000 towards Victoria’s medical bills. This according to a press statement obtained by The Associated Press:
“As soon as we were notified of this report on Friday, we immediately began an investigation, as this kind of hurtful and disrespectful action would not be tolerated by KFC. Regardless of the outcome of our investigation, we have apologized to Victoria's family and are committed to assisting them. The company is making a $30,000 donation to assist with her medical bills. The entire KFC family is behind Victoria."
If you want to help Victoria, you can donate to her GoFundMe page.
