Message 1860416 - Posted: 8 Apr 2017, 20:35:43 UTC - in response to Message 1860414.  

Kentucky Fried Chicken needs to get their act together. I'm having some friends over, and went out to get a 12 piece chicken bucket. I asked for 4 breasts, and the rest thighs. After paying, while waiting for my bucket, I see on my receipt I was up-charged 99 cents for an extra breast. I inquired about this, and was told they only allow 3 breasts per 12 piece bucket, otherwise they charge extra. Well, that's fine, but tell the customer this before you ring it up! Once I got back in my car, I looked inside and it was Original Recipe. I ordered Extra Crispy. No problem - I go back in and they apologized and assembled the Extra Crispy for me. Now that I'm home, I took the pieces out and there are only 10! Ridiculous comedy of errors.

Just got off the phone with the restaurant, and they asked for my name. They said they've added me to "the Book", and said I'm in there now for a replacement meal the next time I come in. The fact that they even have such a "book" is kind of weird. They must be making mistakes all over the place, lol.


Funny followup to this. So, this afternoon I decided to go back in and cash in my entry in "the book". It took a few minutes for the counter person to find the manager, and while he was looking for her, another customer came in, and she said she was in "the book", too! That place has got issues. When the manager finally was found, she got this huge book out with tabs, and found my name, and then said they were out of white meat, and it would be 20 minutes. Good grief. I took dark and came home.

There are reasons places go belly up.

Well, if the Colonel was alive, he'd be snapping his cane in there. I've heard stories about how he used to show up on surprise visits and fire the whole staff if something wasn't to his liking.

Yes. Corporate people would do well to heed his example. And your experience isn't unique to that location. The wall street types don't care how bad their reputation gets as long as there is more blood money to be sucked out.

As an aside, there is a sit down place in town that will give you a three course 1/2 fried chicken dinner for less $ than KFC gets for a three piece box!

I don't doubt that. KFC is high. I only go occasionally because it's closeby, and my mother likes it, but after all this, don't expect to be going back anytime soon again. Their chicken has gotten awfully greasy, too. I don't remember it being that way. Seriously, the Colonel would be hopping mad.

At one time, Mueller’s Macaroni became the largest selling brand of pasta in America.

Their chicken has always had a reputation of being greasy. Take a look at the
first part of Kentucky Fried Movie - https://youtu.be/tgSXKM9WcxY.

Go here https://youtu.be/YcAI3b1tPvA and watch the first one minute and
30 seconds.

Thanks for that link. It's been ages since I saw that movie.

I'm going to write the folks at corporate KFC a letter about my experience. I don't want any coupons. I just want them to know what's going on.

Kinda funny how the pictures on the box don't quite look the same when you bake it.........
But, it is tasty enough stuff.
I have put on about 6 pounds in the last 6 months on this lasagna diet I have been craving lately.
Which still puts me at 163 and 5'9".............Not too outta shape.

But, I have a doctor's appointment Monday and I suspect I may be given a little heck.

My mom made lasagna once, from scratch, it was very good. Today I'd get it in a box too.
