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.
TikTok user Sarah (@itsrah26) posted on Tuesday a now viral video of the unidentified man cutting open bags and boxes of food, and other damage in the fast food restaurant.
“This is what happens when you don’t get paid for a month.”
Text included on the video said
At the beginning of the video, the man is seen cutting open a bag of raw chicken and dumping the pieces on the ground.
In the next clip, he can be seen opening boxes of French fries and tossing the food on the floor.
A third clip shows what appears to be a completely destroyed stockroom with overturned shelves, opened boxes and flipped over bins.
In the last frame, Sarah showed an empty cash drawer on the counter, then panned to a scene outside the restaurant where another store employee can be seen talking to a police officer.
“At least he got his money,” the video’s text overlay read. It is unclear whether or not her co-worker was arrested.
In the video’s comments section, which has over 400 contributions, a handful of TikTok users seemed to be understanding of the destruction and even said they would do something similar given the situation.
“A whole month? I’m on his side,” one user wrote.
Another said, “Nah, he went ballistic. Rightfully so though.”
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.
