Ex-KFC worker reveals disgusting snaps inside ‘rat-infested’ restaurant
A FORMER KFC worker has revealed the shocking state behind the scenes at one of their branches.
The disgruntled former employee from the fast-food restaurant in Wolseley Road, Plymouth took snaps of the disgusting kitchen before walking out of the job.
The pictures show flour scattered all over the kitchen, rubbish strewn across the floor and what looks like mouse droppings scattered across shelving and sacks of flour, Plymouth Live reported.
The ex-worker, who asked to remain anonymous, said: “There’s a pest problem going on that they can’t sort out. Pest control have been in but the mice keep coming back.
“One morning I opened up the restaurant at 6am and I could see a mouse looking back at me through the window from inside.
“They are breaking procedure by opening when they know mice are around. Pest control is meant to be called in straight away and the restaurant shouldn’t open again until it has been cleared.
“[If] mice get into the flour [then] there is a high chance of contamination. I also saw them around the coffee machine and coffee cups which was worrying.”
This KFC restaurant has had issues with rodents before.
At the beginning of February a furious customer complained that they had seen a mouse run across the floor.
They said: “You can see the rat traps by the bins and s**t in the toilets.
“My friend who works there told me about the traps by the bins and I have seen the droppings. A mouse literally ran across the floor in there not just a few days ago.”
A Plymouth Live reporter who investigated the claims said they found 12 rat traps located around the outside of the restaurant.
This KFC restaurant was given a five-star food hygiene rating by the Food Standards Agency when it was inspected in July 2017.

The former senior member of staff said: “From the outside it looks clean but when you go behind the surfaces it’s a different matter.
“The standards of cleanliness are so poor.”
KFC has been approached for comment about conditions at this particular branch.
