A KFC worker has raised eyebrows by standing on a benchtop used for food service to clean equipment.
A photo of the worker’s act at a Queensland store was sent to 7NEWS by a customer concerned about the hygiene of the practice.
The photo shows the worker had removed her shoes and climbed onto the benchtop to reach the top of a food warmer appliance that appears to be full of cooked chicken.
