KFC poor service and food

I will definitely not reccomend the KFC in capetown, soneike I pic mall . I am not writing this after one visit to KFC soneike but numerous visits over a period of 2 or 3 months and I got to say it is by FAR the most pathetic kfc or even fast food outlet that I have ever been to. long waits in the drive thru, badly and tasteless prepared food. clueless staff. I honestly don't know why people are still supporting them.

KFC customer service/food

I went to the Kentucky Fried Chicken in New Haven Ct on whalley avenue, I received the worst customer service and also the worst food I order a 3 piece breast and wing a 5.00 special and a 5 piece wingette the wings was so cooked up up could not tell if it was the drumstick or the wingett the other chicken seemed like the other chicken was there from yesterday I went there on 01/14/19 at 7:30 pm. this is not my first this has happened 3 times in the last month I don't even want to go back to this one it took them 20 minutes to fry the hot wing when they told me it takes 9 minutes I think they need extra training at this kentucky fried chicken, there was no one around they all where gathered in the corner while am trying to find out what going on with my food.
I wish I had taken pictures of this food it was horrible we had to throw it away.

KFC staff attitude and getting the order wrong

At the KFC in Korsten the lady serving us was impatient and rude. We went to the KFC in Gelvandale and they got our order completely wrong. And we still sitting in the hot sun for fifteen minutes waiting for our order. And the staff is sloppy and slow. Disgusted...it is now going to the half an hour and we still waiting with no assistance. The staff is not sympathetic or even apologising.

I visited the local kfc tonight and my total before tax was 23.00 dollars with city tax of 3% and state of 6% the total should have been 25.07 but I was charged 25.11. After some figuring they added the 3 % to the 23.00 which is 23.69 and then charged 6 % of that adding tax on tax. Would you look into this and have someone set there registers right

KFC manager, gm, employees, food, appearance if store, how this store treats customers

Store location Kearney, Nebraska. Manager Dawn
I have personally visited and had the buffet four times in the last month.
I observed how the employees and management treat customer's. The appearance o the store is poor. I say this because a week ago my friend and I had the buffet the salt and pepper shakers were sticky. Today is January 12th, 2019 we sat at the same table and they were in the same place upon window sill where I placed them. My Grandson is in medication that suppresses his appetite, had paid for the buffet for him and requested to take a plate home. Employees laughed and belittled me in front of him (9) yrs old. I asked to file a complaint employee said my GM is here. GM didn't offer his name. Was condecending and belittled me in front of my grandson as well as other patrons. I asked for his Managers contact information which he stated I'm not allowed to give that information. Told me I'm sorry you have a bad attitude while smirking. Stated to him I would not be returning to restaurant and would advise Friends and Family to do the same.

I went through the drive thru at my local KFC and was disappointed as usual. The young man who took my order was pretty much rushing me as if there was a line behind me miles long. So I pull around, he asked me again for my drink orders and the sides I asked for. Very annoying, had he not been rushing me, he would have heard me the first time. It was bad...

KFC product pricing on menu board was different than what the restaurant charged me!

Taco Bell 033415
555 Dacula Road
Dacula, GA 30019
678-985-3782

This involves KFC

Date: 1-8-2019

Went to KFC at night to order some food to go. I checked the posted menu in the restaurant and the menu specific showed the following:

K2 Meal Breast & Wing Combo - $6.99 - See photo of the Menu.
Any Side - $1.99 - See photo of menu.

When I received my receipt, I had been charged $7.29 for each K2 Meal (I ordered 2 K2 meals) and $2.19 for each side (I ordered 2 additional cole slaws, 1 for for each meal).

I asked the person that had taken my order why the differences in prices, he said that they had not changed the sign yet. This is false advertising! I asked for the manager, told her that the price on the board for the K2 was $6.99 and I had been charged $7.29. She said that I had been charged $7.29 because I ordered white meant (breast & wing) I told her that this was not true. The menu board said specifically $6.99 for a breast & wing combo (see photos). The same thing happened with the extra sides. She refunded me the difference for each and did not want to give me the tax that I had paid for each. She finally gave me the tax that I had paid on the $1.00 that they had over charged me.

Note: The man before me was questioning why he was charged more for the K9 meal
than what the board had printed.

This is totally wrong on KFC's part.

I have part of an audio tape if you would like this.

KFC kfc quality of food.

Went to KFC last night for the first time in months and was very disappointed. It was so greasy I had to wipe my hands each time I picked it up. Very unappetizing and left me with an upset stomach all night. Aside from that, the attendant at the window was not very friendly and I wasn't told the amount when I ordered (drive thru approx 4:45 PM). Very disappointed in everything. Guess it will be Popeys' from now on.

KFC condition of premises, slow, dirty floor and tables

Rt 30 Pa highest tourist traffic area. Stopped at KFC long john silvers for fish. 15 min into waiting they came out and said fish was frozen. At least another 10 min went by before food came. We were originally only ones dining. Others came and went while we waited. I used ladies room and was appalled at condition in this area of Lancaster county, pa. Not once in an hour did anyone clean dirty tables or floors from previous guests. Toilet paper holders broke, I had to chase my roll when it fell to floor, soap dispenser wide open, handle broke off hand drier. Employee standing out in dining area shooting breeze with 3 visiting patrons. I will continue to stop at Burger King from now on when passing through this area. Thought I would try something different with my dad. 2 cod and shrimp and 1 sodas at nearly 17 or 18.00 was extreme for this experience. Also it looked like a child painted the bathroom. Paint was really sloppy and splashed everywhere. One would not know they were in a commercial business. Pictures show yellow paint slipped, 2 different greens and yellow all over stall door in ladies room, soap dispenser condtion, handle missing. Quite a mess and not becoming to your franchise

On January 2, 2019 I placed in order at KFC around 9:40 p.m. When the cashier came to the speaker, all I could was loud music and loud talking. The cashier ask me to repeat my order several times. I pulled up and paid for my order, which was $17. 49. The cashier gave me my change and the receipt . I looked at my receipt and the order was wrong. I told the...

KFC additional charge for condiments and aggressively seeking donations

Recently traveling from U.S.A.to overseas including India, I wanted comfort food and longed for home food which I was used seeking out my favorite Kentucky Fried Chicken in Vadodara, Gujarat, India.

Not so much as complaint or about food but was surprised that they wanted additional money for extra mayonnaise and aggressively seeking donation.

Surprised being in third world country, gladly paid for the mayonnaise. However, they aggressively pursued donation for the under privilege. Being generous and privilege, I allowed her to decide the amount whereupon Indian Rupees 25 was collected.

What I would like to see is receipt reflecting these charges and donations and not pocketed by the management especially from the local Indian public.

Thank you for taking time to read this and making Kentucky Fried Chicken proud and continuing to catering in the third world countries where we miss you. My family and I eat KFC at least 3 times a week.

I can be reached on cell [protected] or address 3428 Laurelwood Street, Horn Lake, MS 38637, U.S.A.

KFC Service and stock

Went to KFC kensington. Ordered a box meal. Was told due to soda machine not working I could not order that meal. I asked for a can of cold drink instead but no they don't have cans. I was told a manager was called. Waited 5min and then left. You can't tell me that the manager was sooooo busy that they couldn't sort it out. How on earth does a busy KFC not have a working cold drink machine? Why is this the second KFC I have been to in a week that is unable to supply what they advertise? Still waiting for anyone to explain why edenvale and kensington kfcs are up to [censored].

KFC hygiene and service

Please be informed that I am at KFC mount Edgecombe at the Caltech garage opposite the McDonald's. The store is FILTHY as ever. EVERY single table is dirty. The air con is leaking and there is water all over the floor besides just water, there is good crumbs and stuff all over. It is 5:25am and all the breakfast menus are up but the staff refused to give us the breakfast as they say breakfast starts at 6am. The attitude of the staff is disgusting, they have not customer service etiquette at all.The toilets have no toilet paper and looks as if It has never been cleaned.I have pics to prove how.bad the condition of the store was. Someone needs to do something about this asap.
