KFC disgusting attitudes

This isnt the first time this has happened, But I'm usually one of those guys who brush it off and not worry about it.

But today I was made to feel like a child getting told of.

I was asked by my partner to pick up a 12 piece bucket after work (Which this is actually the first bucket that I've personally been in store to collect) So i went to the tills and ordered the bucket, doing so, My partner rings me (Which I find rude to answer the phone when dealing with a transaction, But I knew this was involved with the purchase), She wanted to get the bigger bucket, So I said fine and apologised to the cashier and say can i have the 15 piece instead.

To which he replied, "well next time can you make sure you know what your DOING before coming over to buy", Well that was it, Ive never been so embarrassed in my life, Even other customers noticed how rude and abrupt the cashier was with me.

Also, He doesn't let you speak, As soon as you go to the cashier, he says "Eat in, take out", then "pepsi, Diet pepsi, Pepsi max, 7up, Tango" etc etc. Leaving me either A - annoyed at what I see as aggressive behavior and B - Finding myself asking him to repeat what he has said, As it is said at speed I never knew man could speak.

Im disgusted with the way I was treat, And in all honestly could of punched the cashier he got me that angry.

Like I said, I wouldnt complain if it was the first time, But now its getting too much.

I hope you take my complaint with professionalism which the cashier, Obviously is lacking.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Luke.

Saya tahu la restoran manager dengan semua manager makan gaji buta je.tiap-tiap bulan dapat gaji.Adakah nie yang dinamakan seorang pangkat seorang restoran manager.Saya harp pihak atasan dapat atasi masalah nie.saya berharap ada perubahan bila saya datang lagi ke kfc teluk intan.Dulu masa restoran manager yang lama elok je x ada pun jadi mcm nie

dulu ada seorg kfc manager yg bernama Saravanan.dia tlh menjadi manager kfc t.intan hampir 15 thn.Pd suatu hari, salah seorg staf telah membuat kesalahan dan menuduh Saravanan dan menyebabkan kontrak dia dibatalkan.Semenjak hari itu, kfc telah MATI akibat kehilangan seorg manager yg mengambil berat tentang pelanggan dan menasihati semua staf utk bekerja dgn keras agar pelanggan rasa puas.Saya harap Area Manager yg ...(ditapis)... dpt ditukar dan menyiasat semula kes ini krn saya suspek dia juga terlibat.tolonglah!
Bukan itu sahaja, kalau Saravanan ada di kfc pasti 100% dan kalau Saravanan tiada di kfc pasti 0%.SARAVANAN IS THE BEST!

KFC need new management

Something needs to be done with the management in this restaurant. The owner has been told that her manager Jess has been sleeping with at least five differant male employees. The staff has made complaints that when a female comes into the store asking for an aplication Jess tells them that they are not hiring. When a male comes into the store she interviews and hires them. Everyone of the new male employees she has had sex with. She also uses drugs and the owner knows this and refuses to do anything about it. I think this is a very poor way of running this business and it will end up leading to a sexual harassment law suit and it wont look good for this company. I have a couple of male and female friends that work there and I have herd them talking about all that have been going on and that the owner seams to not care about the situation. I don't think the community would like to know what is going on in this place, I am to the point of taking this to the local news paper if this is not dealt with.

also, jess is a great manager. she runs the store great and its more difficult than some people would like to think. its not and easy job. everyone thinks they are better than you because you are working fast food, but the truth of it is that we have to deal with a lot. i dont know if what was written is true or not. but the person that wrote it has nothing better to do with their time than come on this site and write a complaint that they have nothing to do with personally. wow get a life. and people who commented. Thanks for the funny comments.

KFC terrible customer service

I went through the drive through with my daughter and the Manager who was apparently off duty was standing behind the counter where the food prep was, and brushing her hair. As the server was handing me my change the manager was having a loud conversation with another employee across the restaurant swearing and carrying on. I stopped the server and said "Excuse me what is that all about" The server told the manager to stop and the off duty manager who was wearing no uniform approached the window. I asked her if there was an issue and if those words just came out of her mouth and she acted like she had no idea what was going on. The server appologized on her Managers behalf. As I pulled away she said other obsene things but this time directed to me with my daughter in the car. I am complaining to the Corporation and hopefully there is video of this incident on camers.

KFC - poor customer service

I sent a letter to KFC to express my dismay over their apparent lack of customer service. This was not a store location, this was the call center that I am complaining about. I can only get in touch with Customer Sevice Associates who tell me that Supervisors and Managers will call me back, but they never do. Please see my letter below. I will post if any...

KFC terrible service

I were traveling back to Las Vegas from LA, when we got hungry and decided on KFC, we got to the 2785 Lenwood Rd, Barstow, CA location at 7:00PM, there were 2 customers ahead of us. There was a manager (Female) and two workers (male). We went to place our order and they told us that they were out of Mac and Cheese and also out of corn on the cob. I asked for a #13 and an additional Double Crisp sandwich, which I was charged $4.99 for. We waited and waited for our order, as we were waiting, previous customers were returning asking for bisckets that they never got, and also sporks that another customer didn't get. As we were waiting for our food the manager taped a piece of paper on the front door, saying closing early due to Easter, this was at 7:15 PM Sunday the 4th of April 2010. So as we waitied she asked our server to go and lock the door which took time away from him helping us. So we are still waiting for our food and another customer returned to say that they didn't get thier Parfiet, the manager gave them two because of the wait and the mistake. So now after 30 minutes of waiting we get our order and go to leave and all the doors are locked. Which I believe to be a big no no because of an emergency there would be no exits! So we waited another 5 minutes to get the door unlocked. After we were let out, we got into our car and I was backing out when my son said he had no spoon for his mashed potatoes. So I returned to the front door, which is locked and pounded on it to get someones attention, the man that served us started coming to the door when I gestured that we needed spoons, he got the spoons and unlocked the door an gave me the spoons. I started to remove the items from my bag and found that the extra sandwhich was not there that I payed for.

I ordered the 3 chicken strips combo with a side order of potato wedges, 2 apple turnovers and a sweet tea. I was told to pull up and wait 4 minutes for the turnovers. Instead, I waited 12 minutes. My total had come to $6.39. When I got home, I noticed there were no wedges but wedges were on my receipt. Many other times I've been cheated out of my money coming here and waiting for long periods of time. I don't know whether they just don't have enough help, or if they intensionally screw up their customers orders.

The worst KFC store ever. The drive thru didn't work, so we had to go inside to order. The place was full of smoke because of the ventilation system.The front door had broken glass and the no ice for your drinks.The bathroom didn't have any hand dryers that worked.The dining room area was very dirty and unkept.There was a young girl running around the kitchen area and front counter.This store needs to be taken over by corporate because it's giving KFC a bad rap.We stopped in this store on 5/2/2010 and it will be the last.The cashier that took our order and our money was the same person that fixed our food.

I am completely disgusted by the service my family and I received on 4/3/10 and believe that the company ought to to something about the way these employees are serving their customers and representing the company.

I believe you should file your complaint on KFC's website or write to the corporate office as I am. I hope you don't mind me referencing this webpage on my complaint. I just want them to see the pattern of service these employees are rendering to their customers.

Thank you for posting your complaint.

KFC no stock

Every 5 minutes they advertise the KFC Krushers milkshake on the TV, and it had been 5 times now, that we have been to KFC in Westdene Bloemfontein that they don't have the Krushers. We think it is absolutely pathetic! We will never support that KFC again! And the other KFC in Bloemfontein is too far, so in other words, WE WILL NOT SUPPORT KFC AGAIN if that is the case!

KFC awful service

Skelmersdale KFC has to be the worst ever built. I am amazed how it survives. Every time i go they are out of stock on things I want. Awful. Even when it is in stock and I get it home its either undercooked or the order is wrong.
I suppose we pay the price for them employing a bunch of kids who frankly dont give a ###. There attitude stinks and they are unhelpful.
The place needs looking into.

I refuse to beleive there to be a worse place with worse staff in the country.

I also refuse to beleive there to be a Kentucky Fried Chicken in the country that runs out of chicken.

I will never go there again until word of mouth tells me the service and staff have been over hauled.

I totally agree with the comments made above about the KFC in the concourse Skelmersdale, this is THE WORST kfc in the north west. I keep going back because i think it will get better but it never has, something must be done! I cant believe the rubbish i have had out of there..
Overcooked chicken and undercooked chicken is their specialty along with missing items on your order. The icecream machine was always off and eventually abolished, AS SHOULD THIS KFC BE!

KFC chocking hazard..?

My husband surprised my 2yr old son today with some KFC's Popcorn chicken.
He just loves the stuff.
He was just sitting in the living room coloring with his crayon, eating his popcorn chicken, when he began chokeing.
My husband and I have never jumped up so quickly before in our lives.
though thank god, after smacking his back and shoving our fingers in his mouth to get the food out, to our surprise we pulled out a chicken bone from his throat.

After calming him, and discarding the rest of the meal, I immediatly called head office to complain.
I at first left a msg on their voicemail with information for them to reach me back. (at 12:30)
by 4:00 I still had heard nothing. So I tried and tried until about 4:30, when someone finally got on the phone.
And all I'm told is someone from the franchise will call me back in 48 hours.

WTF!
What if my 2yr old son had chocked on that bone and died..?
I am beyond angry that there was a bone in their food, but extreamly angry that this is the way it's dealt with...

KFC customer service

Female manager who doesn't like certain people in public gives bad customer service in kfc/taco bell to those people. Owners should question other employees about said manager with out fear of being fired or singled out by said manager. Apparently this bad customer service happens often, and nothing is being done to correct the problem.

I went to get a "tailgate" bucket of chicken for myself and my three children. I was told that the grilled chicken would be about 8 minutes which I said I would wait for. After ten minutes, I was told that the grilled chicken was still not ready but the crispy style which I ordered would also be about 13 more minutes.

I asked why I wasnt told about the crispy chicken when I was told about the grilled chicken also, and the staff member (John) said they had a rush lately and they had to cook more. I could not wait another 13 minutes after waiting ten minutes already so I asked for my money back and John said to me, "Why, you cant wait". I said I did not have the time and during Sunday meal hours, it was 6 pm, why was the place not prepared. He said to me, "well sir, this isnt Burger King".

I have never been so inulted and treated so rudely before and if it were not for my three children wanting KFC about three to four times a month, I would never give KFC any business again and will tell everyone I know about this incident. It just so happens that four other people walked out with me at the same time.

I would think that KFC would want customers in these tough economic times, but I guess I am wrong, the way they treat their customers. This store was sotre number X721601 at 298 Washington Street in Weymouth, MA and the employee who made the smart comment was JOHN.

Definitely not an asset to KFC that is for sure

KFC irrespected service.

Hi...
I wish to complaint about irrespective service of KFC in Eastham.I went to buy food i asked for eating in and she harshly told me we dont have tray to give and food was cold and the representative name is Farzana.No smile in service there are only two member on till. In lobby they need extra person for work so no one was there to clean lobby properly and keep tidy the plates so always they will talk rudely with customers.They must required 2 more member to work but irresponsive answers. Im kindly requesting here that please let them know that do proper and kind service for customer so that they can worth for spend money there.
Plz take further action and tell the Manager to guide workers in good way and give good respect to customers im really sorry about the incident.If they will continue with same attitudes no one will go to KFC they may loose hope n it.
Thaking you.

KFC service

After eating at this KFC for the second time on two different Sunday afternoons and recieveing the same poor service I felt like I needed to turn in a complaint to
possibly help get this problem corrected. Having to wait 25 minuted for a chicken strip meal is not acceptable. Especially when some other people come in and
the person that waited on us takes a freshly cooked chicken strip meal to their table and there are three people that haven't gotten theirs and we had been there
well over 15 minutes at that time. Somebody is showing favorites and also someone is not managing the store very well as far as the cooking and getting the
customers their food. We want return for awhile. Hope you can get things straighten out. Their going to lose business at this rate.

KFC shocking service

To whom it may concern
I live in gonubie in east london in south africa. Kfc opened a branch there which I thought was great but now I think its a waist of kfc's money and time. Do you know if I go through the drive through and my husband drives to kfc in beacons bay (Please bear in mind this is a + / - 10 min drive from gonubie. ) by the time he has got there and placed his order and paid and recieved his food, I am still sitting outside the kfc in gonubie waiting for my food as there is always a delay they say of 3 min... Which I can handle but there 3 mn lands up to 45 min and I am not even joking or over doing it. I have ordered food through the drive through then had to go back inside to get the right order cause they gave me some one elses order, the once I got back to my car I found they stuffed it up again. I had to go back inside 5 times in a matter of and hour of waiting for those pathetic people inside there to try scratch the brains that god gave them and try get my order right. I have now got to the point that I do not even go back I have given up with kfc in gonubie. And I dont think u understand how bad they are, the one night there were 8 cars waiting outside to get there food from the drive through. Is it not a drive through cause when u go through it u can order and get ur food in one shot and not have to go into the shop. They should rename it to a drive and wait through. Please I dont mean to ### and moan but you need to do something about that branch cause it is really bad. I mean so bad that my husband and I did the test to see who would be faster. Go to beacon bay or gonubie. And I mean we live in gonubie and he still won the bet.
I can go on and on about all the bad service I have there, cause I go to kfc once a week. Sometimes more. One afternoon my son was booked off of school cause he had german meisles so I went to the drive through cause I did not want to go into the shop just in case there was a pregnant woman inside, so anyway I go through they ask me to wait in the parking lot for three min... 35 min later I got out my car and also please it was summer (29 degrees outside) I have a child running a temp in the car of about 38 degrees and I still asked the lady please to harry up I would even giver her a tip cause my child is really really sick and I need to get him home cause we just came from the doc, she said no fine she would make a plan. So anyway I go inside and I ask were my food was and I gave them my slip, they said to me they did not have and invoice for that no and time, but mean while back at the ranch I had paid already and they told me to wait thank goodness the cashier recognised me and told them that they other lady had voided or credited the invoice and that it should have been invoiced again. So I had to wait another 10 min. I ask nicely for my money back and told them were they could stick it.
So now what I am asking of you. What are you going to do about this? Are you going to do anything at all?

I am sick and tired of going to KFC Brackenhurst, Alberton. Every time I have gone there their credit card machines are not working. I understand that they have ### with signal and connection but seriously. Besides that when you arrive at the drive thru there is no notification that their machines are not working, place your order at the 1st window pay at the next only to find that you have to go inside to pay... and guess what the F@#king machines are not working. I will never go to KFC again to be inconvenienced and have my day spoilt. Another thing KFC needs to look at employing people with the correct skills, asked to speak to management and when I complained to this Manageress all she could do was shrug her shoulders, GREAT customer care. I will be spreading the word about how useless KFC as a whole are.

I agree, I had the same thing happen to me at the Portage KFC in south bend IN. I also had a friend of mine say he never got service at that store. Unfortunately nothing will be done about it because it's a franchise and the owners don't care. The only hope is that KFC will buy back the franchise and turn it back into a positive business like McDonalds had to do.

KFC credit card machine payment problem

May I know why the card machine for payment using Visa or Mastercard at KFC Menglembu, Ipoh branch always out of service? There are two counters with two card machines at this outlet but unfortunately both also out of service everytime I have my lunch and dinner or supper there. Everytime when I wanted to make payment with my Visa Debit or Mastercard Debit, the staff there always give the reason that the card machine cannot use, network problem, no respond from the card machine and etc. Even everytime I ask “Did you ask technician to fix it?”, the answer from the staff there always the same, that is already call for technician and now waiting for technician to repair.

Yesterday (15th March 2010), I have my supper again at there around 9.45pm and I use my Visa Debit card for payment after I make my order. This time the staff says Visa or Mastercard is not accepted or used here. Then I point to the “We accept Visa, Mastercard for payment here” signboard and ask the staff that serves me why my Visa Debit card is not accepted here. What is the purpose of putting the signboard there showing” We accept Visa, Mastercard for payment here” and the card machine there and say the card is not accepted here? Is it for display purpose only? After that, the staff only say the card machine cannot use.

My questions are
- Is it the same meaning between “Visa or Mastercard cannot accept for payment here” and “Card machine problem that cause Visa or Mastercard cannot accept here for payment at this moment”?
- Is it the staff of this branch don’t know how to use the card machine for payment? So, they always say the card machine got problem?

Nowadays, government always encourages people to use debit card everywhere for making payment. Unfortunately, I always can’t enjoy this facilities and privilege at this KFC Menglembu, Ipoh branch. This branch always gives me a lot of problem and lot of bad experience. If this problem cannot fix it, I suggest that the card machine and the signboard of “We accept Visa, Mastercard for payment here” should be taken off from this outlet.

KFC bad service

I eat in restaurants very very often. The last 9 orders at Parys KFC has something wrong ranging from incomplete orders to products beyond the sell by date - like in long beyond.
Today I was told that I will have to wait outside for 15 min for my order. After 23 minutes and only 3 customers I went inside and they did not even start with my order. I had no other option than to request my money back as I did not had another 15 minutes to wait in the sun.
I am sure KFC can not afford to have franchises doing this to their name.
Well some other franchises in Parys is just as bad - perhaps the problem is Parys

KFC rude employees, not willing to help with allergy concern

My mom and I were in Charleston, South Carolina for our annual trip. We were staying at the Best Western near downtown, which is within walking distance to KFC. We decided to grab something quick to eat, so we went there. Having a severe allergy to peanuts, we asked the girl up front what kind of oil they cook with. After she finished vigrously scratching her head and adjusting herself on the stool she was sitting on, she looked at us, shrugged her shoulders and said "I don't know". As she continued to dig at her head, I was starting to make my way towards the door when my mom asked her again and made it clear that we were asking because I had an allergy. The girl huffed and puffed and yelled (literally yelled) for the manager. He walked up front, rolled his eyes and demanded, "what?!" The girl asked what kind of oil do we use, and he said very abruptly, "peanut", rolled his eyes again, and flung himself around in the direction he came from. The girl behind the counter said to my mom, "well, is that what you wanted to know?!" My mom simply said "no thanks". We left.

KFC filthy restaurant

Driving in from AZ to CA - this is the only KFC at a main exit in Blythe, CA. We'd forgotten that a couple of years prior we had stopped here and that it was terribly dirty. It still is: floors were filthy, tables/counters unwiped and bathrooms unusable - horrendous. One can imagine what the cooking area looks like :( Eat elsewhere!

You don't seriously think any of that is left in such conditions when closed overnight, do you? No, they clean it every night so that every day, more fat [censor] customers can come in and [censor] all over the place and leave it looking like a pig sty. I can see why the employees have stopped bothering about it at this particular branch, especially as it doesn't stop people like you eating there.
