Employees of bankrupt retailer forced to kick customers out of store
The fallen coffee chain has new problems on its hands.
Coffee chain Foxtrot has had a rough week. Its parent company, Outfox Hospitality, announced plans to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which resulted in Foxtrot closing all 33 of its stores located in Texas, Chicago and Washington, D.C., and the news of the closures is going viral in an unexpected way.
In a new TikTok, two Foxtrot employees, who filmed themselves on the clock at the coffee shop, claimed that they were given a two-hour notice that their store was shutting down, leaving them baffled and confused on how to usher the store’s customers out the door.

“So we just found out our store’s closing today at 12,” said one of the employees in the video. “And by closing, I mean the entire chain shutting down. I have three more hours on my shift. Like, when do I take my 30? There are all these people here right now. Like, what do we tell them?”
The video later shows one of the employees preparing the last latte at the store, and they later reveal that they had to kick all of the customers out of the establishment.
