A Texas man has been fired from Popeye’s for deciding to bring his son to work to help out overworked staff during the chicken sandwich frenzy. A child was photographed helping prepare the Popeyes chicken sandwich in The Colony near Dallas according to Inside Edition.

The boy was allegedly 8-years-old wearing an apron, sneakers and no taller than four feet tall. A customer took the video of the boy telling the outlet the restaurant was packed and employees struggled to keep up with the demand.

“[He] was working with the flour that they …cook the chicken in… It looked like he was working hard,” she told Inside Edition. However, its against federal and state child labor laws to have a minor working. A Popeyes representative said, “the restaurant owner has terminated the employee who brought their child, a minor, into the kitchen.”

There have been several unfortunate incidents at Popeye’s since the return of the sandwich which sold out in August.
