How responsive is KFC's customer service?

Very poor 🤒
We don't know much about how KFC handles customer complaints outside ComplaintsBoard, but what we see here, on our website, is quite disappointing. We think there might be reasons for the company's actions (like not knowing about the complaints), and we would be happy to see them among customer-focused businesses that easily solve customer problems. But until that happens, we ask reviewers to be cautious when dealing with KFC and using their services, and to carefully read the experiences of other customers on ComplaintsBoard, because who is warned is armed, you know! 💪

KFC Chicken

I purchased A number 1 meal and paid $6.67. They were out of crispy dark meat chicken 🐓. I told them to give me original. I can't believe the piece of Chicken they served me. They also didn't put a receipt in the bag. I purchased the chicken about 5:15 PM. The staff was nonchalant. What's a shame is I'm 67 and young people think we don't complain. I'm an Administrator at my job, and I hate bad service.

Desired outcome: At least 2 free meals at a different KFC

KFC Fill up meal on 5/30/21 no cookie no gravy on mashed potatoes got butter but no biscuit

Went to kfc ticket +number 1781 at 7:52p.m. ordered a number 1 fill up a leg and thigh. I didn't get a cookie. I didn't get gravy on my mashed potatoes, and got butter but no biscuit. I don't know if it was because of the time I ordered or what, but this is unaceptable. Restaurant +K966001. I visit this store quite regularly and have never had this result in the past. I have never complained to kfc before but I feel you should know about this. I would appreciate your input.

KFC Customer service, Mississauga, Ontario

Hi, I'm a regular customer at KFC Store No: 1395, located at 6055, Creditview Road, Mississauga, ON - L5V 2A8. I am a regular customer at the store and well versed with KFC Canada's protocols and guidelines, as my husband is an ex KFC-TB, General Manager from Ontario.

My last couple of visits at this location is worth mentioning, as the service and staff behaviour I've received two consecutive times, has left me with a feeling of hatred for this store and their staff. Such disappointing and inappropriate was the behaviour of the staff, that my children who are KFC addicts, have sweared of never visiting this store which is 5 mins from my house.

On 4th May, I visited the store in the evening and ordered 2 Popcorn Poutine Fill-Ups. It was quite evident, that the girl at the cash counter was new and untrained as she fumbled to locate the Fill-Up button on the screen. After a brief struggle and after adding and deleting this simple order for a while, finally my order was placed. I picked it up, came back home only to find out that both my orders were regular poutine fill ups with few drops of gravy on top. Dry, cold and messy.

I took the meal back to get the correct order. Upon my arrival, I was told that I've been charged only for a regular poutine fill up and not a popcorn fill up. I agreed to return the wrong order back to them, pay for the balance, and pick the correct order.

At this, the manager on duty (the shift manager on 4th May evening, I haven't noticed her name), was called by the girl at the counter to attend us.

And the way that lady behaved, was just shocking. Because, I know what customers mean in a food industry. And specially KFC, as I always used to hear from my husband, how politely he would handle any issues that would arise and apologize to the customer for any mistake. "Customer First", that's what KFC Canada harps on, right? But I suppose, this manager on duty has skipped this lesson during her managership training.

She told me that I should have checked the order before taking. But never said a word to the girl at the counter who actually took the wrong order. Then, I was asked what did I order... I said "Popcorn Chicken Fill-Up" and my young daughter also at the same time said, "Chicken Poutine Fill-Up". At this the manager furiously told me, that why are we not taking the correct name of the product. I wonder, as a customer do we have to get any traing from KFC before ordering food, on how to correctly pronounce the name of a menu irem? I still can't figure out, is there a big difference between "Popcorn Chicken Fill-Up" or a "Chicken Poutine Fill-Up"? May be, that's the new KFC policy, that customers should get training more than their managers and staff. Applause for this behaviour.

That wasn't the end. When I requested to pay the balance money and get my right order, the manager told me it was my mistake and I should have checked the order while it was being placed and delivered. The worst dialogue that came from her, which was told to me and my daughter was (exact words)..."You keep on standing and waiting... We're not going to attend you as we are busy, or replace and give you the correct meal. When you get tired, you'll automatically go". These were her exact words. It was humiliating as there were other customers standing who witnessed the entire episode.

After waiting in disgust for sometime, I was given the right order as I felt like a beggar who was just trying to pay and get the right dinner for her daughters. I promised, never to visit that store again in my life.

I did not filed a complaint for such ill behaviour as my husband who is an ex KFC-TB General Manager, stopped me as he still has fond memories with KFC.

I was compelled to break my silence and write to you, after my husband himself went to order at the same store (1395), yesterday (28th May, 2021), and ordered 1 Popcorn Chicken Fill-Up. It was a take out order, for which it took them more than 16 minutes to pack. Then, we heard somebody shouting from inside to one of their colleagues, saying.."Oh, the order was packed long back and kept lying, but nobody bothered to hand it over". (16 minutes for one Chicken Poutine Fill-Up).

I know what KFC teaches it's staff about how much should be the maximum waiting time to attend a customer who has entered the store to the time he is welcomed and attended at the counter. Then within how much time the food should be delivered. Same for any car that goes to the drive-thru.

Rule books are there. Shift Managers are made to study those rules to get promoted to ARGMs and RGMs, only to forget and unfollow everything they were taught. I wonder, if KFC has just laid the rules for passing managership exams and a "ZERO" when it comes to practical use.

Yesterday, the front counter at store 1395 was crowded with almost 10 people, all talking among themselves and wondering when somewill will come to the front counter to attend them, as there was nobody at the front counter (atleast till the time my husband was there).

Does this store really follow protocols? I wonder, how cluelessly they can let almost 10 people inside the store when entire Ontario is under lockdown. "Management, please wake up and act before they shut it down completely".

However, night when my daughter was all excited to have her dinner and removed the lid of the bowl of her Chicken Poutine Fill-Up, she was overjoyed to see, that the bowl has one more plastic lid, lying right inside the food mixed with the gravy. A complete messed up dinner, in which one would not even spit. That other lid is the lid that KFC used on their 'Large Salad' cups. I do have a picture of the meal that was given to me. Unfortunately, I donot see the probability of attaching the image, otherwise I could have done so.

So, a plastic salad lid, mixed with the food, lying inside the fill-up, with the staff or packer having no clue of what/how they are packing and delivering food to it's customers. In this current pandemic time, when extra care and precautions are taken is every walk of life, Store 1395, is serving food like this.

This raises several questions on the seriousness and professionalism of the staff and food that KFC Canada is serving. Mistakes, do happen... but not everytime. In food and hospitality industry, if managers do not have some basic courtesy and know how to apologise on their misbehaviour, that too when it was a mistake at their end, then I feel, KFC should go back to the basics and start traing their staff from the scratch.

I don't know if any action will be taken on my complaint, but if not, then I will certainly let people in the community know through social media, about what to expect from KFC Store No. 1395, located at 6055, Creditview Road, Mississauga, ON - L5V 2A8.

KFC Order not correct

I went to the drive thru at KFC in Nashville Ga and was told that for fries I would have to wait 5 minutes which was fine. I waited 10 minutes and went inside to check on my order. Some of the employees were just standing around and when I questioned about my order the employee went and checked and grabbed a bag and handed it to me. When I got to my destination I did not even have fries I had mash potatoes and gravy. I wasted 15 to 20 minutes of my lunch time. The employees were not friendly and did not apologize for my wait. I was very upset and was even more so when my order was not even correct.

KFC Food

I ordered an 8 piece meal deal. My mash potatoes were already mixed with gravy and I received a small side of cole slaw, not a family size. This is the reason I hate using the drive-thru. This was purchased in Columbia, Md. on Minstrel Way, 21045. 8:16pm., on 5.16. As of this typing, I have tried 5 times to call and all I get is a "filled" mailbox. This is a HORRENDOUS way to do busy! I want to be compensated for my inconvenience. I still have the food. [protected] home. [protected] cell email [protected]@aol.com -Wallee

Desired outcome: I want my sides replaced, ASAP!!!

KFC Food served

I went to KFC Restaurant #K071180 - and ordered 2 pot pies and 12 hot wings with ranch (no ranch) on [protected] @7:01pm. Drive through only service, it was late and this was supposed to be dinner. I ended up throwing the food out, the pies were over cooked and dried out, the chicken was extremely hard and distasteful. This is not my first rodeo with this location, will be my last time visiting. Thank you!

Desired outcome: I would like a total refund as I had to find a supplement for dinner. My total was $19.97.

KFC product and service

I am writing today for two reasons. One reason is the product and service I received the last two times I got take out from the Dundas ST West location in Toronto, ON. I paid twice for all white meat. The first time what I received was two small wings and two pieces of thigh. I get ill when I eat dark meat so it just ends up in the garbage.

I went back, told them of my past experience, paid once again for all white meat. This time I received two small wings, one drumstick and two strange cuts from the thigh that were actually smaller than the wings. I don't even know what these pieces were meant to be on your product list. (I have a picture if you are curious)

So I complained in writing to your website. I requested an email response. None was given.

I am 53. I have been a patron for as long as I remember. I have watched the sizes of chicken and other products diminish and the quality of your ingredients go down while your prices have increased. Still, I have stayed a loyal customer until now. I can not tell you how disappointed I am. I didn't ask for a refund or anything else. I just wanted an apology or even an acknowledgement of my complaint. I got neither.

Desired outcome: I'd like to be acknowledged and the KFC in question informed.

KFC Extra crispy chicken

Today, May 10, 2021, I ordered a 12 piece extra crispy chicken meal at your store on Douglas Avenue in Racine, Wisconsin. It was the worst meal I have ever experienced. The chicken had obviously sat under a warming light for quite some time. It was so dry and tasteless that I tossed half of it in the garbage. My wife and I have enjoyed your meals for years, but after this experience, we will pass on this store forever. I am very disappointed with the employees at this facility and hope you share this complaint with them. I even left a tip for the employees. I won't make this mistake again, and I will share my feelings with my family, friends and neighbors. This store gets a zero for customer service.

Desired outcome: Tell your employees that now is a bad time to upset customers. We have very long memories.

KFC Recipe with milk and eggs

I'm writing a complaint about KFC because they have changed their recipe - they now have milk and eggs in the chicken breading. It's not fair because my children and I are allergic to dairy and eggs and can no longer go to one of our favourite places to eat as a family. We ate KFC for years! I don't understand why they would change Colonial Saunders original recipe. He would not be very happy with this change and as someone else said, he is probably rolling over in his grave. There are a lot of people out there that are highly allergic to milk and eggs and it's not fair to be accommodating to some people and not to others. You guys must simply not care about people with severe allergies as this has not been my first complaint.

Desired outcome: Change the recipe back!!
