KFC customer service

I went to my local KFC in Olive Branch MS on hacks cross road. When I pull up to the speaker to order, no one responds. So I wait for a few minutes thinking that they are busy waiting on the people that just ordered before me. Well I sit there for 10 minutes and not a single response from any of the employees inside. So I decided to leave. I drive around and see no customers at the window but all 4 employees standing inside at the window. They where on the phones or talking with each other. They couldn't of cared less. I will not be returning to this location again. I am sure they don't care that I am complaining, nor does the company. I hope that this will be helpful to other people that have had the same experience as I have had. It's a shame also because I love there chicken.

KFC service and food

First of all, I have never been to a KFC before 7pm and they had not already ran out of original recipe chicken of some type. This applies to both the Burlington and Reidsville, NC locations. There seems to be a lack of communication between the who's ordering inventory and who's selling the food. But better than that, at my first and very LAST visit to the KFC in Reidsville, NC, while I waiting in the drive thru line for 15 minutes plus, I kept seeing people walk up to the lobby door to only turn around, get back in their car and drive off. I was eventually asked to pull around to the front while the rest of my food was cooked, told it would take 2 more minutes. After sitting there another 5 min, I walked to the door myself. It was locked. So I banged on the window to get someone's attention. I guess the employees decided they didn't want to serve anyone else after 8pm, however the lobby was suppose to be open until 9pm.

KFC spoiled food served at kfc

I am writing to raise my complaint regarding the services that I have been receiving from KFC lately. I reside in Kuwait and have been an ardent customer of KFC since childhood. However, since the last 2 years, I have been served very disappointing and unappealing food from the KFC branch in Salmiya Cooperative, Kuwait.

I usually place the order via their hotline number and the food is delivered home. The delivery time is excellent and the staff is very polite. I have to commend them for that. But the food quality has been degrading since the last 2 years. The food that is delivered to me is either soggy and extremely oily. And it is evident that the food has been repeatedly fried. I have never complained, but had considerably reduced the number of orders I placed.

However, the previous time I ordered, the food was extremely bad. This was about 3 weeks ago. The chicken and fries were very oily. I would have put up with that. But this time, the chicken smelled spoiled and I could not eat it. I ordered the Snack Box and all the pieces smelled like it was spoiled. It was a terrible experience and I just threw it away in the trash.

I am extremely disappointed about this because KFC has been my favorite fast food place since childhood. But I cannot put up with the low quality anymore since it will affect the health as well.

I would appreciate if you would kindly look into this matter and ensure that this is not repeated. KFC is not a brand that serves spoiled food. It is an international and much loved brand, and such issues will tarnish the brand name.

I do not wish to put any staff in trouble. I hope this will not affect them. But I seriously look forward to better food quality the next time I place an order. The number that I order from is +965 [protected]. You could contact via email or on my mobile number +965 [protected] for any further clarifications on this matter. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

KFC screaming match between employees with customers in store

On 8/27/18 at 4:56 pm I was eating in KFC restaurant J235066 in Enterprise Al when a screamimg match occurred between employees. I am only assuming it was between a manager and employee. I was completely astounded by there Complete unprofessional behavior. This went in for several minutes. That aside, the restaurant is in pretty pitiful condition. Bathrooms were terrible. The experience between the employees not to mention the overall appearance of the restaurant made it and easy decision to never return again. I took several photos but can get uploaded.

KFC old chicken and bad customer service

On Sunday, August 26, 2018, I went to the KFC #H730049, located at 3819 Walnut St., Harrisburg, PA. My Ticket #4239 and the time was 3:46 PM. The cashier name on my receipt is Will.

I purchased eight (8) pieces of chicken four (4) breasts and (4) thighs. I paid $16.95 in cash.

My main complaint is that I was given old chicken that was not hours old but days old. It was dark, dry and some pieces had skin and some didn't. This is not the first time this has happened and I will never go there again.

The rest of my complaints are as follows:
1. The drive thru was closed and a sign said come to the window and place your order but when you drove to the window, another sign said "Closed." So, I drove back around and parked.
2. No one was at the front of the restaurant when I went in. There were all outside smoking in the parking area.
3. There was a woman already standing at the counter when I walked in, waiting for something (she was eating there)
4. When Will walked in, there was no Hello, Welcome, nothing but a stare.
5. When I placed my order, he said the price, I gave him my money, he gave me my change and turned and walked to the back.
6. There was no chicken to be seen up front.
7. After about five minutes, Will comes up with a bag, hands it to me and still never said a word. What happened to Customer Service?

As I said, this is not the first time and I am requesting and would appreciate a refund in the amount of $16.95. My name is Gerry L Brown, 307 N. 32nd Street, Harrisburg, PA 17109. My email is [protected]@cutey.com.

Thank You

KFC im complaining about quality of food

Thursday August 23, 2018 I ordered two 2 piece white chicken meals at the KFC on William Cannon and IH 35 location in Austin, Texas. When I made it home I opened the boxes and was saddened to see that the chicken pieces were chocolate brown burnt. What made it worst was that the gravy on the mashed potatoes tasted burnt too. The chicken also didn't have much of the original recipe taste I'm use to. This is the 2nd time we have ordered KFC chicken where the flavor isn't quite right. Also last time it was a bit greasier than usual. We have to drive a distance in bad traffic to get to KFC so we get it when we are in that neighborhood. We have no complaints on customer service. So Please talk to management about the quality and original KFC taste of the chicken and the gravy. I will now have to locate another KFC to go to and try it out. Hope it's better. Thank you for your time

KFC food/ customer service/ discrimination

First off after I ordered 3 meals to go, I was given 3 cups so I can fill up my drinks from the fountain soda machine. I wanted cherry pepsi but the syrup was out.. then I tried mountain dew and the syrup was out for that as well.. I told one of the workers. He replied "what do you mean the syrup is out?" I showed him by pressing cherry pepsi and that only clear carbonized liquid was coming out. I asked him if he can change the syrup so i can get cherry pepsi or MD. He said "No". I said why not? Can you ask the manager or someone then? He said "No, thats not my job". I was irritated but I didnt want him to ruin my day so I just got regular pepsi. There was 5 workers working but every order was backed up. It wasnt even packed so I dont know what was going on but they kept taking orders but nothing was coming out. So when everybody kept complaining theyve been waiting over 30 minutes. They said we will give you a free cake for giving out your order so late. Guess what? I waited 45 minutes for my 3 meals to go and I got no free cake. Maybe because I was the only asian person in there. Only the black people got free cake. So now im pretty upset and I came home. Me and my family sat down to eat. The chicken was all burnt. So we ended up throwing everything out. Today was the worst customer service experience I have ever had in my life. I will be filing a complaint everywhere possible. I will call corporate and make sure this KFC changes the entire staff. And I want a reimbursement for the trouble I went through today.

KFC customer service

The KFC in Bloomfield NJ on Glenwood Ave has some of the most rude and nasty workers I have encountered and this includes the Manager! She was slow and had a bad attitude like I was bothering her, the lines got longer and longer and I was in there for 30 minutes waiting. Every time I go in there is the same, the last draw was when I went into the KFC and her young friends came in and were served first while every one else was standing in line like we did not matter. Needless to say I was not happy, when it came to my turn(finally) she looked at me and said "something wrong with you!" I could not believe that! Today I asked for salt "We an't got no salt! she stated. Which was a lie. I will not be going back there again!

KFC customer service

I just left the KFC on Richmond Road in Lexington, KY. When I pulled up to the drive thru the woman immediately said "Order when you are ready" in a very rude tone. No greeting, Nothing just "order when you ready". I proceeded to order and waited a few before she again said "order when you ready" RUDELY I asked her did she not hear me already order and she said NO! very harshly. So i ordered and when I pulled up I heard her going off to her co worker who was working the drive thru. This was at 8:13 ish PM I did not receive a reciept maybe because they knew I would complain but I had a 5 dollar fill up with slaw original add a chicken. You all need to train your employees to have better customer service because I was treated rudely and I will not be back to that location! The girl was a tall black woman with braids.

KFC supervisor latoria webb and her supervisor kevin

On Sunday, August 19, 2018 My daughter resigned from KFC due to being harassed by her supervisor LaToria Webb. The work environment became hostile and unsafe which was the reason for my for my daughters Departure. Latoria Pulled had my daughter In her office and proceeded to holler at her from the top of her voice in regards to the misconduct of another employee. She was told that she needed to clock out. My daughter was so visibly shaken that she was an able to clock out so her supervisor told her that she would clock out for her. I reached out to Latoria supervisor Kevin and I felt like my concerns were not addressed and that he basically took the side of Latoria. Latoria Did not conduct herself a professional manner. She was hostile and made the work environment unsafe who knows what other child has had this experience with her. I literally watch Latoria Outside on company time conversating with two other people while she was on the clock for over an hour and she had a headscarf on which is against company policy. When I advised Kevin of the this, I was told that it was in guidelines with company policy. However I know for a fact that it is called stealing company time . Latoria does not lead by example. If someone could please call me back at your earliest convenience I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for your time my number is(302) 565-8677.
Sincerely,

KFC management

Phillip Sellers of KFC Lock Haven has been telling his employees that him and I have had sex. I have never once had sex with him and I have heard from three different employees the same story about him telling them that we have had sex. If this continues any further I will be getting my lawyer involved. I am disgusted this is happening because these allegations are completely false. I would really like something done about this because it is extremely unprofessional to tell your employees about your sex life, to lie about it, and to bring people into the situation who shouldn't be involved.

KFC service

I was in line at the 7th north street location in Liverpool NY 13088. Behind 6 other customers for about 15 minutes while the guy at the counter was ordering and changing his order over and over again finally one if the other guest asked if someone could open the other register and take their order as it had been about 15 minutes already. The guy who was placing his order started scream profanity at everyone. So the gentleman who asked asked again. This time one of the employees started mocking everyone else waiting in line and dancing. Everyone else left I asked to speak to the manager about how disrespectful that dancing and mocking your customers was. I was informed by chicitas I believe that what else were they supposed to do they have to have fun somehow. I asked for the corporate # wouldn't give it to me I asked for her name as I said I believe that they called her chicitas. So told me no I asked for the store managers name and number and was told have a nice day goodbye. I went to the Cicero location and discovered she was the store manager. What a disgrace that this person is in charge of your store. No one was upset with your company they only wanted to place an order and spend their money with you we were all chased out by your employees mocking your customers
