KFC bad product sent

received a bad deal from you yesterday, when i ordered the food in Sharjah, UAE. It felt that i was eating the chicken from a local burger shop. The coating was over cooked and taste was bad, i have taken pictures of the chicken and i am attaching the same. I thought of making the post public, then it would be a negative factor for your company. It was sad that you deliver such bad food to homes, i had better experience when i visited your store in sharjah citicentre last week and couple of occasions before. But this is not acceptable.

KFC PEKIN, IL - HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
HERE IS A RUNDOWN OF MY EXPERIENCE ON 6/28/2011 AT THE KFC IN PEKIN, IL. I ENTERED THE STORE AROUND 7:00PM. THERE WERE 6-8 PEOPLE IN LINE: AN EMPLOYEE, THEN AN ELDERLY MAN, THEN MY SELF, THEN, BEHIND ME, WAS A GROUP OF SENIOR CITIZENS. AS WE WAITED IN LINE THE GIRL OPERATING THE REGISTER WAITED ON THE EMPLOYEE AHEAD OF ALL THE ACTUAL PAYING CUSTOMERS. ON TOP OF SERVING AN EMPLOYEE AHEAD OF ACTUAL CUSTOMERS THE GIRL COULDN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO APPLY THE EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT TO THE EMPLOYEE’S ORDER. AN OLDER WOMAN (EMPLOYEE) CAME OUT AND SHOWED THE REGISTER OPERATOR HOW TO DO THIS (WITH AN ATTITUDE). UPON WAITING ON THE EMPLOYEE THE OLDER LADY (EMPLOYEE) PUT TRAYS ON THE COUNTER WITH SOME ANNOYANCE AS IF WAITING ON CUSTOMERS WAS RUINING HER NIGHT. MEANWHILE THERE ARE ABOUT 2-3 PEOPLE STANDING UP BY THE COUNTER WAITING ON DRINK CUPS THAT THE REGISTER GIRL FORGOT TO GIVE OUT. AS THE EMPLOYEE EXITED THE LINE LAUGHING ABOUT THE REGISTER OPERATOR’S INABILITY TO DO HER JOB THE ELDERLY MAN IN FRONT OF ME APPROACHED THE REGISTER. AS HE WAS ORDERING I INSPECTED THE BUFFET, SINCE THAT WAS THE REASON I DECIDED TO EAT THERE. ALL THE FOOD WAS SPARCE (NO MASHED POTATOS OR CHICKEN!) AND, THE DRIVE THROUGH GIRL WAS FILLING DRIVE THROUGH ORDERS FROM THE ALREADY SPARCE BUFFET! AFTER ORDERING, THE REGISTER GIRL TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE OLDER LADY EMPLOYEE TO GET MY TRAY READY. THE OLDER LADY EMPLOYEE WAS NO WHERE IN SIGHT. I STOOD THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL THE REGISTER GIRL FINALLY GOT ME A TRAY. I THEN ASKED ANOTHER GIRL BEHIND THE COUNTER IF THEY WOULD PUT OUT MORE POTATOS AND CHICKEN. THE GIRL I ASKED IGNORED ME AND THE GIRL WHO DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO USE THE REGISTER INTERJECTED AND STARTED TO EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE BUFFET KEPT THE FOOD WARM. CONFUSED, I TOLD HER I JUST WANTED POTATOS AND DIDN’T CARE HOW THE BUFFET WORKED. (VERY AWKWARD). I STOOD THERE FOR A SHORT TIME WONDERING IF THEY WERE GONNA REFILL THE BUFFET AS THE LINE BUILT UP BEHIND ME (OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO ORDERED THE BUFFET). AFTER ACTING LIKE THEY DIDN’T KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY MORE POTATOS AVAILABLE THEY FINALLY PUT SOME MORE OUT. I FILLED MY PLATE. I THEN HAD TO MAKE A SPECIAL REQUEST FOR CHICKEN. (I HAD TO ASK FOR CHICKEN AT THE KFC BUFFET!) I THEN PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE BUFFET LINE WHEN I NOTICED SOMETHING WENT WRONG AND THE ENTIRE BUFFET FILLED WITH WATER (ALL THE FOOD WAS FLOATING IN WATER!) NONE OF THE EMPLOYEES KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON. IN FACT THEY SEEMED AMAZED BY THIS REDICULOUSNESS (THEIR REDICULOUSNESS!) FROM ENTERING THE STORE UNTIL I SAT AT MY TABLE IT TOOK 20 MINUTES (FOR A BUFFET ORDER!) I SAT DOWN ATE MY ONE PLATE OF FOOD THEN ATTEMPTED TO RETURN TO THE BUFFET. THEY NEVER DID REFILL IT. THEY JUST DRAINED THE WATER. 7 PEOPLE WORKING AND NO ONE REFILLS THE BUFFET, KNOWS WHERE THE POTATOS ARE, OR UNDERSTANDS WHY THE BUFFET IS FILLED WITH WATER! I LEFT MY MESS ON THE TABLE AND LEFT THE STORE, NEVER TO RETURN. MY 3 PREVIOUS VISITS TO THE STORE WERE ALSO BAD BUT THIS WAS THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL’S BACK.

You tell him Recon & Brenda as always you nailed it my dear, Wonder if this fella that laughing calls himself Human Guy will like the Senior Citizens Or the elderly when he is one? Maybe he should invest in some cookbooks & learn how to cook so that he can eat at home and not be so irritated by the people who have as much right to be in that KFC As he does.

KFC long wait times in line

First KFC tried tonight was in line 23 minutes with 2 cars ahead of me and never got a chance to order. I then went to another one and was in line about a half hour… again just 3 cars ahead of me. Got 2 front and girl said there are no wings…. I said okay just the cake and the breast meal. Then she said I was wrong and have the wings. Okay fine..

Then she came and said we dont have the breasts… only in grilled.. I said just the wings and cake. Then she said she was wrong and no wings after all. The car ahead of me had left and I was ready to. What is going on lately. Have noticed horrible service and extremely slow in the last couple months. The people are very pleasant and the food has been good but who can wait that long.

Another thing is there are never potpies, never cookies. I was there between 8 and 9 and they werent that busy that it should of been that bad. You have to put someone on the windows who knows what they are doing. The store in Wauwatosa on north avenue front sign has not worked for at least 3 months. It is totally dark. The second place I went to was in Miller Parkway in Milwaukee…

KFC i've never received such poor customer service before in all my 31 years

I visited KFC/KFG on Thursday 3-8-12 in Memphis Tennesse on Winchester and Ridgeway( not sure of store number). I’ve never received such poor customer service before in all my 31 years. First… I was asked to hold at the speaker (window down/pouring rain) for several minutes. After finally placing my order when I make it to the window everything that was ordered was in one box.

Even tho they were separate orders and one order was for my daughter that was going to a different location. I asked why would u place separate orders in one box. The order taker response ” I didn’t make the order bit I’ll have someone box it separately. Oh might I add she handed me the soaking wet box of chicken without a bag… (pouring rain). I asked for honey, she gave me a handful of honey that was all stick together.

I asked for a mgr. When the mgr came to the window I began telling him my concern. He looked at me as if I wasnt saying anything to him that matter. He then asked well is there anything else. I told him Im still waiting for the honey. His response “all of the honey is stuck together” my response ” well wipe it off” he then responded” NO I’m not going yo wipe it off” I asked why wouldn’t you. He said the same reason u want.

I asked for his name he lookedat himself up and down and said my name is RD, RP or something of that nature. I was so upset I asked for the corp office number he gave me the number and walked away after closing the window in my face. I WILL NEVER VISIT THAT LOCATION AGAIN.

KFC bad food and service from kfc

On the first of february i went to the kfc on hwy291 in greenville sc. I ordered a 12 piece meal which consisted of 2 mashed potato and gravy, biscuits, coleslaw, then I ordered an extra mashed potato and gravy and an order of chicken livers. I was told I would have to wait 10 minutes well I waited almost 20 minutes. the manager stated there was no original chicken cooked but a man came in about 10 minutes after my order was placed and he got original chicken. It really made me upset with two kids that were hungry. well I finally got my chicken and took it home to eat. the biscuits were smooched and tasted old, the potatoes were burnt and had hard lumps nasty. The gravy even tasted burnt so this trip to KFC may be my last. I’ve always bought and recomended KFC to friends but I will no longer do that because of the BAD food and service.

After ordering at the speaker post I drove around to the window . I sat waiting for about 3/4 minutes before anyone came to the window I was given my drink and payed my money I was then told there was a 4 minute wait so to park in the red bay. I asked if an item that I ordered could be put in a seperate bag to the rest as this item was for my passenger in my car and was told yes. When I recieved my order after about 8 mimutes of waiting all the food was in the bag together so had to undo both wraps to see which one was bbq. When I got home I had corn instead of gravy and no salt and napkins in the bag. Spending over£17 on the order I am quite annoyed that simple things like napkins and salt are missed off and they can’t get the food right. It’s not the first time this has happened.

KFC wrong order and waiting at kfc

Last night (01/11/2011) at approximately 21:00 i went to KFC (Twist & Koch JHB CBD) to buy a street wise 2, Simple right? wrong. Not only was i told i had to wait 8 minutes for my order (because the meat was still cooking), i was not given a receipt when i asked for the receipt i was told i don’t get a receipt for my order. When a another lady on different line heard this she questioned the guy about me not getting a receipt the guy rudely told her he didn’t have a receipt roll so the was nothing he could do then the was an exchange between them.

all of the workers ganged up against her and the lady saving the women gave her an attitude. Then the is the issue of 10c changes i can’t recall how many people actual had to ask for their changes cause apparently those tellers don’t think people need them. When you ask for your change you are promptly told they don’t have 10c as if you should know (i also didn’t get mine).The whole attitude they have is wrong they treat like you should be grateful they are even listening to you let alone serving you…

I hope KFC does something about this cause their customer service SUCKS.

KFC manager not serving when he is near the till.

Dear Sir or Madam,

With reference to the above, this is to inform you that I am a regular customer of kfc feltham london, and whenever the manager is near the tills he never serves me, but keeps on screaming the cashiers names to come and serve me, and the poor cashiers has to leave the cleaning job in the restaurant and rush to serve me at the managers orders.So what type of Manager is he? and why cant he not serve me in the short absence of his cashiers.

The only thing I see him doing is packing fries and shouting at his staff by saying QUICK QUICK when he himself is so SLOW and keeps on talking behind the display instead of serving customers.Its high time that kfc hires managers who can serve the customers and not a dumb manager like feltham.

Went tonight to order a bucket for two and 2 orders of hot wings . Told me I had to order it online . I was using Foupon app . I said I used it many times they just took the code she just kept repeating you need to order online etc I left went to my car and called the manager who was just as helpful . Then she tells me to come back inside and she will use her discount. I told her that I would not
They had a customer in the store willing to purchase the product which I had to put mask on etc. What if I didn’t have online or internet . This is the most disrespectful place turned away a paying customer because of online. They should be ashamed of themselves and there food is usually cold or wrong anyway but I thought I would give it another chance . Pamela peagam

KFC cheated out of $10

On April 12 I was cheated out of $10 at KFC drive-thru at 2910 W. Ridge Rd. Greece NY. Handed cashier a $20 (I only had $20s because that is all our atms give) she rang up cash rec'd as $10. Shoved change and receipt into purse. Noticed shortage next day. Called store; was told I was not shorted because drawer from night before was $5 short. Linda from store called me later; was told I was not shorted because drawer was "right on". Called corporate office and made verbal complaint. No response from KFC. Went to their website a few days later and filed an online complaint. No acknowledgement or follow-up from KFC. Filed another online complaint a few days later. No acknowledgement or any response of any kind from KFC. I am disgusted that they think my $10 is more important than having my business. And even more disgusted that they don't have the common decency to even reply to me.

You don't really even know if it was KFC that shorted you or not. You could have misplaced the money or spent it elsewhere and forgot. If you were in fact shorted, you are partly at fault for not noticing the error when you were given the change and blindly shoving it in your purse. Be more aware of what's happening in your life. It's easy to blame others for your own stupidity.

KFC harassed by employee staff (day) workers

Before I was able to walk to a near by (Store) cvs pharmacy at about 1:40 pm a whole bunch of different male employees at the often issued address of the complaint and kfc manager and other people yelling down the highway towards me but today all and to many different ethnics smoking and was on the job in uniform and while customers seem confused at the drive-thru with a black female not understanding what they was concerned with me or at least yelling during the day about. I barked back with comments finally, "my sister is a restaraunt manager. " I am a business owner so she seem confused of what the problem of me not walking up to their business unless I just want them in trouble from what it seems to be today because she went back to whatever her head stay inside the building for while serving customers. I have witness chicken being smeared by the mouth by a employee cooking the chicken before (Placing a cooked warm and fried thigh on they lips and just a gangsta attitude with drug activity and employee smoking they stay involved with a problem for me when I am near by this location is just not half of the issue for today. I would have called the police on this business but the lady already looked at me offended but I am not dealing with that much so they did get ignored even after I passed by the business safely again after 1:45 pm today!

KFC restaurant dining room is a mess

My family and i desided to go to your restaurant for our meal to find that the restaurant was discustingly messy there were only 2 tables that had not got empty food cartons, sauce pakets, bones, used serviettes, drink cups, to be honest it was discusting. i asked the girl who served me if she had noticed the mess on all the tables she replied i know. i asked if there were a manager there inwhich she went to the back to tell him, he came out to see the problem was to be fair he was a little bit shirty with saying that he was short staff and there wasnt anyone to do it and would sort it when someone is free.

At the end of the day no matter what excuse arrises the tables and benches tops should be clean for customers to come in and enjoy a meal there. the restaurant that this was is the KFC Great Bridge Retail Park, westmidlands. The time inwhich we were there ordering was 8.26pm i have kept my reciept incase you needed proof of me being there.

KFC by eating this fast food we are getting sick and weak

I am an employee of kfc in oman my complain is that no staff meals are given from the management we all staff have eat every day chicken and sandwich from the restaurant. By eating this fast food we are getting sick and weak second thing is that restaurant does give off in a week and more shouts for every small reason. Third thing no increment in salary after working continuously for one year. Only the management make promises but never ever fulfill it. If any employee want to take emergency leave no transportation.

Too much less of salary and very hard work. No promotion after hard work specially in Oman KFC. Sorry not to write the name because I am still working due to big family problem.

Are you a current or former KFC employee who believes you were not paid properly?

- Overtime without pay?
- Forced to work off the clock?
- Denied breaks?

KFC no lettuce

I ordered a few snackers as i have been for years since they came out. They had told me they had run out of the delicious snacker sauce, but could offer me a side of ranch dipping. I said that I didn't want the ranch, it's different than the snacker sauce, but I'd take barbeque instead. Then, when I open one up, there's no lettuce on there either! Plain piece of chicken on a bun. Ridiculous. They said that they no longer put lettuce on there at all. Come on KFC, snackers were the one good thing that you could buy with a buck, and now they're ruined.

KFC unreliable

Today I placed an order in KFC Musgrave Center which inlcuded reguar chips (which I was charged for), when i got home I realised that they did not give me the chips. This is not the first time i have experienced a problem like this, my previous experiences included KFC on sparksroad and overport drive, charging but neglecting to give me the bread loafs. I have phoned the relevant branches and complained on the day of the event, but they always expect you to come back and pick it up immediately, If you go back to the branch, they fail to take responsibility. Whilst I'm loding a complaint, I'd like to bring to your attention that overport drive KFC once sold me coleslaw that had expired on that particular day, I only realised this when i began eating it and found it to have an awful taste, I complained, and again was expected to return the same day to get another coleslaw. When i returned on another day, they were not helpful and did not replace it. I'd also like to complain about the chips and fried chicken from the KFC on overport drive, it tastes as though it was fried in oil that was clearly overused. Perhaps headoffice could advice them to change the oil regularly.

Why wouldnt you go back and let them know like a mature adult that they simply forgot your chips? Because your so obese your cankles swell up when you walk more than 10 feet. Like seriously there are starving kids that have nothings and you ### because you didn't get your chips. Growup fatass

Then I suggest stop going to KFC and fry your own chicken and make your own cole slaw.

It isn't unreasonable for them to expect you to return the same day if they mess up your order. Otherwise, I could just walk into my local fast food joint and claim they shorted me my mashed potatoes a week ago and have them give me some for free. Try to keep in mind that this is a business, and they want to stay in business.

If you don't like the flavor of the food at the one location, why do you go there?

You may want to check your order before you actually drive away. Just a thought.

It sounds to me like you'd rather just complain, though. Maybe it's time to grow up and act your age.

KFC kfc condones racism

My daughter and I visited South Africa last November. During our visit, we stopped at a KFC. In the 20 or so minutes we were in the store, the female behind the counter (native) totally ignored us. She carried on a lively conversation with a male (native) until he left the store (apx 5 minutes). Then she continued to ignore us. I called to her, asked if we could use the restroom, she said she'd check with the manager, and she disappeared. She continued to ignored us. Only because we are Caucasian.
I have called KFC headquarters to complain about the treatment we received, and to find out why they condone this behavior. The representatives told me over and over that they "will have a manager look into it and get back to [us]". One woman told us she would take it upstairs to management herself. And still nothing. A few days ago I called them again. I was told by their representative that they don't know how to get ahold of any managers, they don't have the ability to call any other department, and, basically, that they are just robots who can't do a thing, that management is ignoring us just as the woman in South Africa did.
This speaks volumes about the moral values of KFC. They not only condone racism. They officially condone racism

I assume that you are American, and that you called the U.S. headquarters. You do realize that the chances of that HQ being in direct operational control of the outlet in South Africa is slim to none, right?

KFC service and attitude of both the manager and staff member was terrible

My husband and I have been to the KFC on Lake Rd. in Dyersburg, Tn four times in the past month, and all four times they have been out of chicken livers! When I get a craving for chicken livers I really really want them! I rely on KfC to provide the chicken livers since they are the best. They keep saying they are out. Would you please arrange to send more livers to this store so I can satisfy my craving for your wonderful chicken livers. I can’t go to another KFC since the one on Lake Rd. is the only one in town.

At roughly 13/01/2012, myself and two friends visited KFC Cooma drive thru. We ordered our meals and then proceeded to pay. We were asked by the young staff member if it was ok if we got 10 cents short because she didn’t have the correct change in the cash draw. We were helpful in trying to give the correct money but were then short changed and had to tell the girl and the manager in charge what our change was meant to be. Then they gave us our order which was wrong and made us wait for the order to be corrected while the rest of our food went cold.

We asked for a complaint form and were told to look in the yellow pages. The service and attitude of both the manager and staff member was terrible. I will not be visiting my local KFC until new staff is hired and the managers replaced.

KFC the chicken is over cooked in oil that doesn't get changed regularly

I can see that all complaints to KFC are on deaf ears and they could care less, anyway. Harlan Sanders would turn over in his grave if he knew how sorry some folks are that attempt to run his business. My compaint is about the sorry restruant being operated on Albia Street in Almaty, Kazakhstan. My wife and I thought, oh boy, a KFC in Asia. We were in for a big let down. Other than being clean, the business is only a KFC in name only and we would know, because I am from Kentucky myself.

The chicken is over cooked in oil that doesn’t get changed regularly, the portions are all small, no dinner meals, no bread, no mash potatoes and gravy, you pay for Ketsup for your french fries and if you want a refill, you pay for another drink, not to mention the rude and unorganized service which is normal for this country. I am really surprised that such a sorry resturant is allowed to operate under the KFC franchize. If folks had a chance to eat at a real KFC back in the USA, they would laugh this place out of business.

KFC old tasting food

I bought the following: 2 street wise 2's, Large pops, Fully loaded box, double take and a small cole slaw.
The chicken tasted if it's almost passed the expiry date, chips was old and tasteless and the bun of the burger was really hard. I was so unhappy and could not eat anything further so I demand that they either give back my money or replace the food!
