Jet Blue did call the mother to apologize, I have seen no update on the KFC story.

It's not one of those stories, unfortunately.
Did we ever get the company's side of the story, or are we still going with Granny's uncorroborated tale of heartbreak?
Yes, I'm a tad cynical here.
I had some sweet potato waffle fries in Gettysburg that were not too shabby.

According to HuffPost KFC is investigating the incident and they're giving $30,000 towards her medical treatment.
Dear me.
The comments on this story are beyond stupid.

According to HuffPost KFC is investigating the incident and they're giving $30,000 towards her medical treatment.
• 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.

Yea, I'm not gonna just blindly go with an in house investigation.
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.
