A video capturing a heated altercation between a customer and employees at a KFC outlet in Kerala has ignited a firestorm on social media. The brawl, which saw a customer engage in a heated argument before physically assaulting a staff member, quickly escalated into a full-blown fight.
The incident has triggered widespread concern about the increasing prevalence of violence and aggression in public spaces. Many users expressed dismay over the incident, questioning why such violence would occur in Kerala, a state known for its high literacy rates.
The video, originally shared by Arhant Shelby, went viral, generating a mix of outrage and amusement. Some users found humor in the situation, with comments like “Kerala to education me ek number hai firr ye kaha se aa gye” (Kerala is number one in education, where did this come from?) and “Chole bhature Mang rha tha Kya KFC mai ??”( Was he ordering Chole Bhature at KFC?).
While the incident has sparked debate about the rising violence, it has also led to some lighthearted reactions. One user quipped, “Chicken be like. I am already dead because u wanted to eat me. Now if you will die fighting for dead me, what will happen to my leg piece?” Other comments joked about the altercation being a “KFC (Kerala Fight Club),” and questioned if the staff even offered the customer the famous “finger lickin good” slogan after the fight.
The video’s origin and exact date remain unverified. It serves as a stark reminder of the need for peaceful conflict resolution and the potential for escalating tensions in seemingly ordinary situations.
