Video: Chick-fil-A cow keeps dancing as San Antonio worker leaps out of drive-thru to chase customer

Video: Video shows San Antonio Chick-fil-A worker jump out of drive-thru, chase non-paying customer

Picture this: A dancing Chick-fil-A cow hands customers their food at drive-thru window. Customers drive off without paying. Employee jumps out the window to chase them down.

That is exactly what happened Monday night at the Chick-fil-A near the intersection of Loop 1604 and Culebra Road, on the far Northwest Side.

Anne Compere shared security footage with mySA.com of her son, Kendall, leaping into action after he thought he witnessed a drive-thru and dash.

“They were having a special event, so there was a lot of fun and the cow was back there dancing and stuff, delivering the food to the people as they drove up,” she said.

The video shows Kendall giving the customers napkins just before they hit the accelerator and drove off. When he begins to ring up the next order, he realizes the previous customers didn’t pay for their food.

Then, his instincts kick in.

“He jumps out the window to take care of the problem without thinking,” she said. “That’s my son.”

Greg Patterson, the owner of the restaurant, said it was all a misunderstanding between the cashier and the customer.

He said employees are located outside along the drive-thru during peak hours to take orders and payments, but somehow the customer's credit card was not processed correctly.

When the customers drove off, they thought they paid their bill, he said.

He added that Kendall Compere was "caught up in the moment" and he is still "one of the best employees we have."

Kendall Compere, who is a full-time college student, could not be immediately reached for comment.
