Chicago Popeyes employee seen on TikTok destroying restaurant after allegedly not getting paid for a month.
The Chicago store was completely trashed by the employee, who emptied the cash register and slashed the phone wires to conclude his rampage.
Over 101,000 people have viewed the clip since it was posted Wednesday, with many torn over whether the vicious tirade was an overreaction to going unpaid or not. The video, titled ‘This is what happens when you don’t get paid for a month’, opened with the man slicing open a bag of chicken over a pile of raw meat on the floor.
After emptying the chicken and spreading it across the back of the restaurant, he moves onto boxes of fries and tips them over the tiled floor as well.
In a separate scene, a puddle of what appears to be cracked eggs is emptied from a plastic tub, next to a huge mess of food and toppled carts.
Unused buns, mounds of raw chicken and discarded boxes are seen, while the TikTok poster can be heard screaming in the background at the stunning mess.
‘What in the actual f***’ she exclaimed.
The footage ends with snippets of cut phone lines and emptied cash registers, with the TikTok clip noting: ‘At least he got his money.’
‘My job so ghetto’ added the viral video’s poster, who appears to be the furious employee’s co-worker. Pictures following the video clips show damage to the registers and cut electric cords.
The final video clip reads “at least he got his money” while showing an empty cash drawer on the counter and panning to the window where police officers and a Chicago police vehicle can be seen outside the restaurant.
Other users commented that he responded in the wrong way, suggesting he should have quit much sooner, reported that he wasn’t getting paid, or hired lawyers and sued the company.
“I understand his anger, but now he definitely ain’t getting paid,” one comment said. “This is a corporation. He could’ve sued and got a nice settlement check.”
Others defended the worker’s actions, saying no one knew his situation. “He could have kids at home and all and they’re playing with his money,” one user shared. “Straight disappointing.”
“Trashing the place ain’t going to do anything,” another responded. “Just report it to the labor board.”
Some users joked that the store would still serve the food thrown on the floor. “They’re gonna scoop that chicken up and put it right back in the freezer,” one wrote.
The Daily Dot contacted Sarah via TikTok comment and Popeyes via voicemail, as the company’s website is down at the time of publication.
