Horrifying moment KFC employee caught on camera using kitchen utensil to clean their shoe

STOMACH-churning footage appears to show a KFC worker cleaning their shoe with a kitchen utensil.

The employee was caught on camera seemingly giving the sole of their trainer a good scrub with what looks like a palette knife.

They then wipe their foot several times on the ground before heading back inside.

The gross clip was taken at the Ards Shopping Centre branch in Newtownards, County Down, Northern Ireland, it is understood.

It was shared on TikTok with the caption “I think I’ll pass” and the Fast Food Song playing in the background.

Viewers were disgusted by what they saw, with many vowing never to eat at KFC again.

One person commented: “Literally wouldn’t eat there if you paid me.”

Another said: “I used to go there all the time. Will never be near it again.”

While a third, who saw the funny side, wrote: “The secret to the gravy is finally revealed.”

Others were quick to defend the staff member though, insisting they would “obviously” wash the item afterwards.

“Whatever they used would 100 per cent be cleaned and then sanitised so there’s nothing wrong with this, they probably just got something stuck,” a user said.

KFC has been approached for comment.
