*Nykia Hamilton, a 25-year-old mother of three who gained widespread attention for single-handedly managing a busy Columbia, South Carolina, Burger King, has been fired.
A TikTok video showed her juggling cooking, cleaning, and serving customers alone. On August 8, Hamilton shared her emotional reaction to the termination, stating, “My kids come first. Y’all don’t pay for no babysitter, or nothing. My mind is already f***ed up. I’m trying to keep pushing for my kids, but I cannot do this s*** no more. The devil been on my back bad.”
A Burger King spokesperson addressed the situation, telling The Independent, “No Team Member should ever be left to run a restaurant alone, even for a short period of time. That’s not how we operate, and we’re disappointed that our policy, which requires more than one Team Member to work per shift, wasn’t followed.”
The spokesperson noted that terminations are decided by franchisees, adding, “In this situation, the franchisee confirmed that the individual involved is no longer employed due to repeated attendance issues.” They emphasized their commitment to proper staffing and guest experience but declined to discuss personnel details further.
