A recent viral video showing three women accusing a Burger King employee of fat-shaming has sparked a wave of support for the worker, with loyal customers stepping forward to defend his character. The incident took place at a Burger King in Chappell Hill, Texas, and was captured by a TikToker known as TheVolunteerTexan. The video shows part of the confrontation between the women and an employee named Quincy, who they claimed insulted one of them by suggesting she “needed to go on a diet.”
Before sharing the footage, TheVolunteerTexan explained why he frequents that particular Burger King, citing Quincy’s exceptional customer service as the main reason. He had gone to the restaurant to pick up a mobile order but began recording when he saw what he described as a “pack of wild Karens” ganging up on Quincy over the alleged comment. In the video, one of the women confronts Quincy, accusing him of making the offensive remark as she was leaving the restaurant. Quincy firmly denies the accusation, repeatedly stating, “I did not tell the young lady that.”
As the situation escalates, with the women continuing to press Quincy, TheVolunteerTexan steps in, telling the employee that he is recording the interaction for his protection. He also refuses to side with the women, stating that he trusts Quincy based on his many positive experiences at the restaurant. The video ends with the women storming out, still shouting accusations. It quickly gained over three million views on TikTok, and commenters overwhelmingly supported Quincy, praising his professionalism during the heated exchange.
In response to the viral attention, one of the women involved, Xanthea Melton, took to Facebook to offer her side of the story. According to Melton, the incident began when her employee told her that Quincy had been rude and made the fat-shaming comment after she left with her order. Melton said she drove to the restaurant to report the incident, but many online viewers remained skeptical of her claims, especially those who have interacted with Quincy before. Numerous people commented that Quincy is always respectful and courteous, suggesting that the whole situation may have been a misunderstanding.
Despite the controversy, support for Quincy has continued to grow, with many calling for him to receive a raise for how well he handled the confrontation. TheVolunteerTexan has even promised to share any profits from the viral video with Quincy, solidifying the bond between the employee and his local community.
