A man has taken to social media to share his admiration for a KFC worker who he says went the extra mile when dealing with difficult customers during busy periods
A KFC customer says he was ‘chased’ out of the eatery after a staff member went the extra mile.
Kirk Johnstone popped into a KFC branch and praised one employee, Lynne, for her consistent customer service, even when dealing with difficult customers. Impressed by her commitment, Kirk decided to leave a note for the hardworking staff member.
His kind gesture sparked hundreds of comments lauding Lynne, with many other KFC fans sharing their positive experiences of being served by her. Ex-employees and regulars alike joined in the chorus of praise.
Taking to Facebook, Kirk penned: “I’ve just been CHASED out of KFC. If you have ever been in [this branch of] KFC then you will have seen this lady, Lynn . I’ve been here a few times and always noticed how she puts up with people’s rudeness, cleans up after them and never stops.
“While doing the work of two people keeping the front of store immaculate, she had her young coworkers shouting her name across the store to have her also run food out to waiting cars. I heard one of the staff ask her if she’d found a phone as a customer had called to say they’d lost one.
“She said ‘no’ and that could of been the end of it, but I sat in amazement as she then went right through every bin in the store, searching right to the bottom.” He commented that whatever Lynne was earning at the store, “ain’t enough.”
He left a heartwarming note amidst the abandoned shopping trolleys with a £20 note attached, which said, “Hi Lynne. I see the hard work you do. You are appreciated. Keep going.”
Facebook users shared their own encounters with Lynne, echoing praises for her. One user posted: “I worked with Lynne in my first job and she mothered us all. She’s such a lovely lady. What a lovely thing to do.” Another chimed in: “It was the same when she worked in Burger King, she has a heart of gold. She is being taken advantage of there.”
