WWCFaD?

Jet Blue did call the mother to apologize, I have seen no update on the KFC story.
 
JACKSON, Miss. — KFC Corp. says it's investigating allegations that a restaurant employee in Jackson, Mississippi, asked a 3-year-old to leave because her facial injuries disturbed other patrons. The company is also giving $30,000 toward Victoria Wilcher's medical bills, a spokesman said Sunday.

KFC posted an apology the next morning, requesting details.

"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," spokesman Rick Maynard wrote Sunday in an email to The Associated Press.

"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."

Hoax exposed.

• The source said surveillance videos show that at no time on the 15th were any children in the store who match the description of Victoria Wilcher or Mullins. The tapes were viewed in both the Meadowbrook and Woodrow Wilson KFC locations in Jackson, the source said. In hours of tape, the source said one small boy with his parents is seen, but they order food and leave the store.
• The source said no orders were recorded to include mashed potatoes and sweet tea on the same transaction, or even the two items as part of a larger order on May 15. Mullins told WAPT TV in Jackson shortly after the incident went viral on social media June 12 that: “I ordered a sweet tea and mashed potatoes and gravy. I sat down at the table and started feeding her and the lady came over and said that we would have to leave, because we were disturbing other customers, that Victoria’s face was disturbing other customers.”
The source said never has a hospital patient been asked to leave one of the KFCs and he pointed to seeing people suffering from all sorts of ailments eat at KFC. Inside Batson Children’s Hospital is a plaque of Col. Harland Sanders, founder of KFC, placed there after the company made a multimillion-dollar donation to the hospital.
“We have never ever ever run off anyone, and we have seen some really really sick people come to the restaurant from the hospital,” the source said. “We’ve had people come in who were shot in the face. We’ve had them with tubes and wire sticking out. We never have asked anyone to leave.
“There is a physically challenged person working in the Woodrow Wilson location and one of the other (KFC) managers has a child with Tourette’s Syndrome,” the source said.
• The family initially told KFC the incident happened at the location on State and High streets, a claim backed by a Facebook post by Victoria’s Victories, a page run by Teri Rials Bates, the girl’s aunt that read: “Thank you for your support for Victoria. If you would like to file a complaint its the KFC on State Street in Jackson MS.” That store is not in operation and has been closed for several years.
Victoria’s Victories changed its story Friday, saying the State Street reference was a mistake. In it, Bates wrote. “Im the Aunt, I run her page and Im the one that miss quoted that it was State street when it was actually Woodrow Wilson. Dont blame the grandmother for my mistake!
The source said it was no mistake at all.
“It just didn’t happen,” the source said.

Dick West, who is the president of West Quality Food, one of the largest franchisees in the KFC chain and the owner of the local KFCs, also declined comment. However, on Saturday night, he made his feelings quite clear on the Facebook page of a Jackson television station when he posted “When the allegation was first made, KFC pledged $30,000 to go to medical expenses and started an investigation to find the truth. They have pledged the money even if it is proven that the incident never happened. At this point their story is full of holes. Any thinking person who follows their timeline can see it. The event at KFC never happened.”
 
My spidey sense is tingling....something about this story doesn't seem right.

This reminds me of one of those "waitress gets stiffed on tip, customer leaves anti-gay message" sorta thing that is debunked a day later.

I called it. USA TODAY: KFC in-store video shows employees never interacted with disfigured girl or her grandma, they just took her order.

Akin to life on the GB- Post pics or video, or it did not happen.
(Some people have cruelty in their hearts, and some corporations will do anything to protect their brand.)

There was an interesting comment in the article, from a defender of the family.

i'm skeptical of any report made by a company investigating itself...i suppose there's really no real way to know the truth unless one was willing to sit through the surveillance vids oneself.
 
KFC has absolutely nothing to gain by covering it up, and a lot to loose.

KFC's are franchises and the parent company has no control over the actions of the employees of franchises. Yes, they can provide rules that need to be followed, but that's about the limit of it, short of cancelling a franchise.

The parent company is already donating $30,000 so it's not like a coverup is going to save them any money.
 
Granny's $135,000 GoFundMe account has been suspended and GoFundMe is offering refunds.
 
KFC agrees to donate 30 grand for the girl's surgery.

Next, they will sue the granny for slander to the tune of 30 grand.
 
Looks like Granny's first class cabin on the Carnival cruise ship is in jeopardy, though.
 
I still feel bad for the girl, but I'd be more than a bit peeved if the family takes the money and runs with it.

:mad:
 
It's KFC...well, and Mississippi. What do you expect?

Shameful behavior. Karma will bite them in the ass.

....Then we can ask them to leave because their deformed, karma bitten ass is offending our sensibilities.

Prejudice much? It has since been reported that this MAY all be a hoax to get money out of KFC.
