Disgusting moment ‘woman caught on CCTV mixing HAIR into child’s food before demanding free meal’
THIS is the shocking moment a woman is seen putting one of her own hairs into a child’s food before demanding a free meal.
CCTV footage shows the woman plucking her hair and mixing it into the plate of macaroni cheese.
She then calls over a member of staff and appears to ask them to bring a fresh meal.
The replacement dish was then apparently taken home as the child had already eaten most of the food.
However, the restaurant reviewed the CCTV footage after the family had left, revealing the true source of the hair.
The Woolpack in Haslingden, Lancashire, uploaded the video to Facebook along with a statement.
A spokesperson said: “Last night, we welcomed a family who arrived without a reservation. As always, we were happy to accommodate them.
“During their meal, one of the adults complained that a hair had been found in a child’s macaroni cheese.
“Our staff responded immediately, removed the dish, and our chef offered to prepare a fresh meal of their choice.
“This offer was accepted, although the replacement meal was later taken home as the child had already eaten the majority of the original dish.
“The hair in question was notably long, which raised some questions given that our chef is neither long-haired nor capable of producing such a specimen.
“After the family left, we reviewed our CCTV footage and were surprised to discover the apparent source of the hair: the complainant herself.”
The pub added that further footage showed the woman stealing a bottle of ketchup by hiding it in a child’s hat alongside an ice cream bowl and a teaspoon.
The statement continued: “While we appreciate that everyone enjoys a good bottle of Heinz, and we understand the undeniable appeal of a stainless-steel teaspoon, we would gently remind customers that these items are not currently included in our takeaway menu.
Running a small hospitality business is challenging enough without having to deal with false complaints, threats of social media campaigns, and missing tableware.
“We are incredibly proud of our team, who handled the situation with patience, professionalism, and far more restraint than most people would manage.”
People were quick to react to the video, expressing their disgust over the incident.
One person said: “Individuals like this spoil it for everyone.
“Well done on showing it on socials and hopefully people will see them for what they are.”
Another said: “Behaviour is unacceptable like that.”
A third said: “That you have to put up with crap like this is just sickening.”
The Sun has contacted The Lancashire Constabulary for a statement on the incident.
