After swapping the chicken, he walked back into the store to complain to the staff about being served raw chicken. When he showed the first employee at the counter, the man looked up at him in shock and didn't say anything for a moment. A woman standing nearby, another customer, asked if he was joking, but the content creator insisted he was not.

The KFC employee, still unable to believe what he was seeing, asked the content creator to confirm he was joking. When he says no, the first employee calls over a second worker to show him the raw chicken in the box. This second employee couldn't believe it either and started laughing, as he couldn't understand why anyone would serve a customer raw chicken.

The employees then called over the woman handling the drive-through orders, thinking she might be responsible. When she saw the raw chicken, her eyes opened wide, and her mouth dropped in shock. The three employees started going back and forth, trying to figure out who was to blame for the situation.

The content creator then stopped them and said he knew how to fix the problem. He pulled out his phone and suggested they play a game on a betting app called Gamble Minds. The woman agreed, and he started pressing buttons on the app. After playing for a bit, he tells them it's fine because he won. One of the employees asks whether they've won too, but the content creator clarifies that no, only he has won.
