A Chick-fil-A fast-food employee has accused the company of wasting food.An employee of the Georgia-based company shared a viral video on TkTok of another worker tossing a platter of chicken nuggets into the trash.
The anonymous TikTok user @jlucvss submitted a video of another employee throwing out an entire tray of chicken nuggets, captioned “what they do every night with the chicken nuggets at Chick-fil-A.”
The video, with more than 7 million views, sparked outrage on the video-sharing platform with some users slamming the chain for allowing the food to go to waste.
“The amount of food we throw away and the amount of starving people there are just doesn’t sit right with me,” one user commented. “It’s sad.”
Others commented that the chain should “give them out for free,” while another noted that giving out chicken hours later could potentially be a health hazard.
“Chicken that sits out too long cannot be given out to the homeless hours later it will get them sick. It’s not a doughnut.,” another user commented.
Chick-fil-A claims to have a food donation program on their website called Chick-fil-A Shared Table, which began in 2012 and involves franchises packaging and sending extra food to charitable groups such as soup kitchens and non-profits.
