Viewers were outraged by a viral New York KFC interaction with a deaf customer, until one employee won them over

In a post that has since garnered hundreds of thousands of views on TikTok, a deaf woman is seen recording an attendant wearing a headset behind the counter at a KFC. Follow-up posts revealed that the interaction took place at a KFC on West Ridge Road in Greece, New York, and that the woman is deaf and felt she was not being treated with the courtesy she deserved.

She tries her best to communicate with the attendant, but the employee asks her to stop recording before they can properly address her concerns. One of the attendant’s colleagues comes over and tries to defuse the situation, but the attendant insists that she can handle it herself.
