A shocking video from a fast-food employee reveals a jaw-dropping waste of food that has Americans questioning the company’s commitment to Christian values and responsible practices.
Fast-food chain Chick-fil-A, known for its chicken and Christian values, is under fire for an appalling daily practice revealed by an employee. The worker, who remains anonymous for fear of losing his job, shared a video on TikTok that exposes the shocking amount of food waste at the restaurant every day at closing time.
In the clip, the employee, donning a Chick-fil-A uniform, dumps a large tray of perfectly good chicken into the trash, sparking outrage among viewers who argue the food should be donated to the homeless or hungry families.
Captioned “What they do every night with the chicken nuggets at Chick-fil-A,” the video has gone viral, amassing more than 7.8 million views and attracting a torrent of comments criticizing the wastefulness of the fast-food establishment. Many viewers express their disappointment, pointing out the vast number of people who go hungry each day.
Some commenters suggest giving the food away for free, donating it to the homeless, or letting employees take it home.
“The amount of food we throw away and the amount of starving people there are just doesn’t sit right with me,” one person wrote. “It’s sad.”
“Can confirm,” an employee commented. “We used to throw out SO much chicken…”
“Give them out for free, wtf,” someone wrote.
One person asked, “Why not give it to the homeless.”
One person even questions whether the wasteful act aligns with the restaurant’s Christian values. However, others argue that giving away leftover food is illegal and unsanitary, as it could make people sick.
“Give them out for free. What the hell.”
“Jesus would not approve,” wrote one person.
“They think God is okay with this?”
“Wait, I thought that at the end of the shift, the employees get to take the leftovers home.”
“They should just let the employees take it home,” one person suggested.
The debate rages on, but one thing is clear: the video has brought attention to the issue of food waste in the fast-food industry. Whether Chick-fil-A is singled out unfairly or not, the conversation has the potential to inspire change and promote more responsible practices in the future.
