KFC ordered and paid for 16 piece meal. received only 8 pieces.

- Thursday, October 26, 2017, at 5:58 pm
- Store: #[protected] W. Olive Avenue, Peoria, AZ
- Ticket Number: [protected]
- We went through the drive-thru and ordered a 16-piece meal with 2 sides of coleslaw and 2 sides of potato wedges. When we drove up, they had everything bagged. When he read my order, they had put mashed potatoes instead of potato wedges. They corrected this issue immediately. When we finally got home, we opened the bucket and found ONLY 8 pieces of chicken. We paid $43.63 for 8 pieces of chicken.

Refund requested.

KFC food and cleanliness

I'm making a complaint about your restaurant in Harrisonville, MO. For sometime now we have found it to be very dirty, the floors are greasy, even tho it was a slow time of the day all of the tables were dirty and even the seats. The buffet looked dirty and the food looked old. There has been much complaining from other customers lately on my fb page. One of my friends asked for a refund and left. It's a nice restaurant so I wanted to let you know so maybe you can make some much needed changes in the staff etc. thankyou!

KFC product and service

I visited this store today 10/25/2017. While entering the restaurant I was greeted well. The problem started with the person that fixed our food. He gave us some dark dry chicken and a pot pie that was over extended the tin it is in. We asked for fresh food; he took that food and threw it in the trash. He then got us some other food; something that he could have done before. The problem continued as the lady began sweeping the floor while we was eating. This caused dust and floor particles to fly all over where we was eating. We then got up and left the restaurant. Due to the attitudes that we experience; this visit was totally unsatisfied. Until you respond back, we will not return back or give anyone a recommendation to eat at this restaurant.

KFC unethical behavior

I am a local assistant restaurant manager and the experience at this particular KFC has been very good. My two sons and I (one is 5 and one is 8) visited on Sunday October 22, 2017. Our food came out as expected and we took our seats. My 5 year old accidentally spilled his drink and it covered the table. Embarrassed, I explained what happened, apologized as we were the only ones dining at the time and even offered to clean up the mess even though they were not in any way busy. Unexpectedly, the lady handed me a small towel, rolled her eyes and walked away. I did my best to clean it up and moved to another table having no assistance to clean up the mess. The staff, very unexpectedly, were obviously making fun of my son laughing and joking about it and finally a young man came out to clean up the mess. They made fun of him for going out to clean it up, he looked at us and rolled his eyes. This continued until we finally finished eating and left without any apologies or thanks for dining even though we experienced this. Behavior like this is unacceptable and it should be for your company. Any future business from myself or anyone I know will no longer occur at this location and possibly any in the future. I hope you consider this as a measure to resolve anybody else with a complaint and are able to correct this exceedingly unacceptable behavior in your company.

KFC cold food

Stopped in Sumtersville W. VA KFC on Oct.17th 2017, Early evening... Ordered 4 Fish & More... Place not busy... one other customer at tables... Our fries and fish were just lukewarm when served to us... They did make us more fries after complaining but not enough for the four of us... Hush puppies were very warm!... Nothing done about the fish! This KFC is off our list when traveling... Believe we were served food cooked earlier and not reheated... not cooked fresh when it was ordered

KFC hi!

Hi! I come from China and I just moved to San Diego, CA this summer. The reason why I send you this e-mail today is just I am your best customer. I love having meals in your restaurants since I was 5. And it is always very good to eating food that you fried to me and my family in China. But I think there are some differences flavors or some resources you use in the US compare to KFCs in China. From my perspective, all of your restaurants in China cook chicken use less oil and better chicken than in America. And there are some kinds of food only provided in China but not here. This makes me a little bit disappointed and I think you are always my favorite so I just want to ask you could you please put less soil when you are cooking chicken and may be you can cook some kinds of food that are popular in Chinese KFC? Thank you so much! I am always you best fan in this world!

KFC employment

My son is 16 years old. Law states 10pm school nights and 1030 pm on weekends. My son has been staying to 1015pm to 1030. While manager let’s everyone else out at 10pm and makes him stay to do dishes and other chores. The best park she punches him out at 10pm. My son will not work for free and will not be made to stay passed the time the law states. I am going to pursue this further and he will be giving his notice. I am contacting the labor board on this as well. I am sure my child is not the first to be going through this. Not only is he a honor student with a GPA if 3.75 he works three jobs and maintains his academic scores. So he definatley is not a lazy kid or just looking for a way out. Please see too it that this matter is resolved so another child don’t have to deal with this unprofessional work place.
Thank You,
Lisa Audette

KFC service

First of all the store had no customers at the counter...I was the only one yet I waited almost 10 min before anyone took my order. There was an employee behind the counter that was doing nothing except standing there looking at me...I spent 36.00 dollars and was the last one to get my order...4 people came in after my order was taken...lousy service in my book!

KFC kfc food awful

Last night we went to the KFC on south high street in Columbus, Ohio. We place a $35 order and when we got home we didn't have our tenders, had to go back. Then when we got home the 3 Cole slaw that we purchased were brown inside and stunk. Then the chicken wasn't cooked all the way. Not to mention my dad and husband were sick all evening. They didn't notice the pinkness until they ate a bit of the chicken We order from them a couple times a month and always have problems. We are going to start going to the Grove City, Ohio location. The drive will be worth it. It sucks that the one by our house is worthless.

KFC dirty location

Last evening-10/22/17, My husband and myself traveled appox. 50 minutes to the nearest Kentucky fried Chicken location-(we live in Milford, PA & traveled to Newton, NJ). I told the cashier what I wanted-(2 pc. meal but I wanted both pieces to be thighes-I was told no). There were no options given to me (upcharge, different meal option type, nothing suggested). I got the standard 2 pc. chicken meal which is not what I wanted but I was hungry. My husband ordered his 3 pc. meal no problem. We went to sit down ( we were literally the only customers in the place.) I had to clean both the table & the booth seats. While eating, I took a bite of my biscuit and it tasted bad. I spit it out in a napkin & upon looking at the biscuit it was full of green mold. I went to the register and showed 1 of the employees who said he was sorry & gave me 2 biscuits. I went back to eating, which as I said before, I was hungry, and there was a female employee there talking VERY loudly to the other SEVEN employees about hating her hours, and she has a life, etc.. by this time there were a few other customers in the facility. I am quite sure that one of the other seven employees was a manager. I recently lost my job and was very taken back by the actions of most of the staff there. There was no need for 7 employees to be there at that time when there was hardly any customers to begin with. Most of the employees were all just talking to each other. I actually felt sick after eating and went to the Ladie's room, I could not even use it-the door did not lock. I told my husband we had to leave, I was not feeling well. Once we went outside there were 3 employees outside smoking, REALLY! On the way home I was telling him about the bathroom situation and he told me that the Men's room door did not lock either. This is no joke-but I literally have been sick since last evening after eating there. I hope this location is inspected-it is not a good one.

KFC a location: in riverton utah

We love KFC. We have gone to this location 5 times on 6 months. We would go more often if this location wasn't so poorly ran with unsatisfied product. They have run out of chicken at 7pm couldn't help us. Wasn't willing to make more. At 8 pm another time we were told the heat(ing) trays were being cleaned. We went another time at noon, they had no chicken. This is horrible customer service and reputation for your company. Everytime we see a KFC commercial we comment finger licking good "everywhere, but this one". Someone needs to look into this store. Not good for what you pay to advertise I'm this area. Very sad.
Thank you

KFC kfc merchant charges for use of debit or credit card

The KFC located at 415 Gaffey Street in San Pedro, CA (#E791005) charges a surcharge for use of credit and/or debit cards. I asked them why on several occasions and they never have an answer for me. They just want to be paid in cash. Today, 10/20/17, I stopped for lunch at this location at 2:11 pm, to get a $5 meal and paid in cash. When I asked the Cashier/Server, Michelle, if they still charge a surcharge for use of credit/debit cards she brushed me off and said she didn't know. Then told me to have a nice day. When I asked for my receipt, she kept saying to me have a nice day. Until she finally gave it to me. I think you need to check into this location, cause something fishy and underhanded is going on.

KFC chicken

This took place on Friday 10-13-17 while the office employees were having lunch. I was biting down on a piece of Kentucky fried chicken and the cracked bone inside of the chicken leg pierced through the meat and stabbed in between my gum and tooth. Breaking a piece of my tooth off. My dentist was closed on Friday I waited until Monday the 16th and had to have emergency root canal. I had to go back to my dentist on Wednesday the 18th to have the remaining tooth grind down for a temporary tooth.
