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. There are reasons places go belly up. |

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. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

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 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. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Their chicken has always had a reputation of being greasy. Take a look at the 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. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Been a long day. 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. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Been a long day. My mom made lasagna once, from scratch, it was very good. Today I'd get it in a box too. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |
