Chicken Republic has responded to a viral report that it sacked some security guards dancing on duty in a viral video.
The eatery has been under fire over an action many have described as necessary.
However, the company said contrary to the viral report, it did not sack the guards.
In a statement posted on their official Instagram account, they wrote “The two security guards in the video work for a private security company.”
“When the management of the private security company saw the two security guards dancing in the video, they had concerns that the security officers whilst dancing were not necessarily conducting their duties responsibly and as such were not fully focused on the core of their duty which is your safety and security…”
“We have followed up with the security company and they have assured us that the security guards have not been fired, have been paid their dues and offered some retraining. We value your communication and we have heard you.”
