Wingstop is not the only restaurant chain to go viral for shocking customers recently. Subway, a direct competitor of Wingstop, recently made headlines after a customer alleged she discovered feces inside her sandwich.
McDonald’s was also recently in the headlines after a customer rode a horse through the drive-thru and ordered 100 Chicken McNuggets. One Zaxby’s customer also went viral after claiming on TikTok that she was served fried paper rather than chicken.
‘Buddy Just Chillin’
At one Wingstop restaurant in Chicago, a man said he was shocked when he pulled up to the restaurant at nearly 4 a.m. and discovered a nearly naked employee “chilling” in the dark dining room.
In the video captioned “Buddy just chillin,” the TikToker said there was a man standing in the kitchen of the dark restaurant in his underwear.
Although the lights are off inside the restaurant, the TikToker zoomed in to show the kitchen lights on and a man at the back of the restaurant wearing only a pair of blue underwear.
“Why the fk is this man in here with his drawers?” @brilz_0siris said. “What the fk is he doing after hours, though?”
The man in the kitchen then grabbed a large piece of plastic and put it over his bare body.
“Why is this man in here with his drawers on?” the TikToker repeated as the man inside shoved each arm through the bag to create a plastic shirt.
In another video, @brilz_0siris showed the man seemingly cleaning in the kitchen.
“He’s chilling,” the TikToker said laughing.
