The video, shared by TikTok user Maria Cabral, depicts a female Chowking worker traversing the streets on foot, peddling the restaurant's products directly to potential customers in its branch in Davao.
The employee's actions, driven by instructions from her manager to enhance sales, have sparked outrage among netizens.
Many have condemned the practice as exploitative and a violation of labor rights. Critics argue that the company should be responsible for promoting its products and increasing sales, not by forcing its employees to take on such demeaning tasks.
The incident has cast a shadow over Chowking's reputation, prompting calls for the company to address the issue and ensure that its employees are treated with respect and dignity.
