Isinara ang isang branch ng Jollibee fastfood chain sa Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig matapos mag-viral ang post ng isang netizen na um-order ng fried chicken ngunit ‘fried towel’ ang natanggap.

Kaagad naglabas ng pahayag ang Jollibee Foods Corp. at ipinag-utos ang pagpapasara sa branch sa BGC sa loob ng tatlong araw.

Saad pa ng Jollibee, “This concerns the customer complaint on food ordered late evening of June 1 from a franchised store in Bonifacio Global City. We are deeply concerned about this matter and have conducted a thorough investigation on the incident. It is unfortunate that deviations from Jollibee’s standard food preparation procedures occurred on the part of certain personnel of the store.”

Anila pa, “As a result of this incident, we have directed the Jollibee Bonifacio – Stop Over branch to close for three days starting tomorrow, June 3, to thoroughly review its compliance with procedures and refrain its store team to ensure that this will not happen again. We will also send out reminders to all stores to ensure that strict adherence to Jollibee’s food preparation systems.”

Samantala, ang naturang netizen na nag-upload ng ‘fried towel’ ay gumagamit ng username na Alique Perez sa Facebook.

Aniya, um-order siya ng fried chicken via delivery app. Napansin nila umano na mahirap i-slice ang ‘manok’ hanggang sa mapag-alamang tuwalya pala na nakabalot ng breading ang naiprito.
