The 3-year-old girl who was reportedly kicked out of a KFC in Jackson, Mississippi, because the scarring on her face — remnants of a pit bull attack — were disturbing customers, was nothing more than an elaborate hoax, reports Laurel Leader-Call.

The family of Victoria Wilcher claimed that she and her grandmother were asked to leave a KFC restaurant because her dog-attack scars were scaring patients, prompting the fast food chain to donate $30,000 to cover the girl’s medical bills.

K.

I couldn’t remember going off on any of those threads. It just sounded...suspicious...to me.

Especially that a female employee supposedly did the deed at the behest of a female customer.

Hopefully your friend didn’t lose too much business and can write off the $30K on their taxes somehow. Not sure there are enough antidepressants and xanax in the world to get me to run/manage/own a FF joint. Takes a braver soul than I.

At least it wasn’t a fried mouse in with the mixed chicken piece bucket.

If the family donates the money to Democrat candidates, will they escape any prosectution for fraud?

The scam was wrong. But the donations to help her recover from injuries that were inflicted upon her are still a decent thing to do for a little girl who is surrounded by unscrupulous people.

What would lead you to believe that the girl will ever see a dime of this money? Or that they'll use it for medical bills?

If I were them, I'd write it off as advertising and promotion.

According to this link, Hannon's Food Service Inc has $15.5m in annual revenue and 201-500 employees. A typical KFC has around $1m in annual sales and, I would guess, about 25 employees. According to the KFC store locator, there are only about a dozen KFC restaurants in Mississippi. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that Hannon's owns all of them. A dozen somewhat above average outlets would account for the stated sales and need about 300 employees.

Too quick to judge, and they love every critical and judgmental call they make.

Keyboard cowboys.

Too much of that.
