>A thread to vent about poor products and customer service. I just had KFC for the first time I can remember in a long time. My god, how does the company stay in business? The food was putrid. I only went there because Nandos told me there would be "about a half hour wait" on chicken, so I went down the road to this revolting restaurant. I was pretty hungry but there was no in between meals and everything seemed like either too much or too little. I settled on a too much meal, figuring I could refrigerate the leftovers. Who would want to? This food isn't fit to throw at the homeless. I had two pieces of the Hot and Spicy chicken that had no discernible spice or flavor and was literally wet with grease. After the first piece my stomach instantly felt sick and if I didn't have the Pepsi to neutralize the grease effect I think I would have thrown up. The chips were well seasoned but undercooked and powdery. The nuggest didn't have real chicken and my cat sniffed them and didn't eat it. Now I feel sick and have all this food I don't want to eat but can't bring myself to throw it away because it was so fucking expensive. Additionally, I don't want to put it in the fridge because I'd be better with dog food. Seriously KFC, fuck you.

I used to work at a KFC. Took me years to ever eat there again, and then only once in a blue moon.

McDonald's, KFC, and Burger King. I just feel like they haven't done anything to improve quality and have obsessed with just reducing supply costs. McDonald's is particularly offensive because they have tried to bring "quality" products to market and have failed every time. The Angus 1/3rd pound burgers are extremely low quality. The chicken strips they had offered were low quality and are now off the menu. What's worse, is that their prices are really high, compared to the alternatives. A double quarter pounder costs around $5.99 alone (probably 6.37 or so after taxes). For that same price I could buy 1lb of way higher quality beef, a full pack of buns, slices of cheese, and some actual fresh produce. So, I don't see how they are leveraging their supply chain. They totally could make a higher quality product and probably do it at a lower cost. I am sort of disappointed with the company.

Reminds me of Bender's Big Score where he goes back and finds the old KFC recipe.

>>7388852 In Australia I'd disagree that McDonald's hasn't done anything to improve themselves. Everything is cooked fresh, they have a range of premium options that aren't bad for fast food and they have some cheap options that can be bought for $1-$2. Hungry Jacks (Burger King) is doing the same old shit it always did and I swear their burgers are microwaved. KFC is just shit.

>>7388852 Edit: I now realize that the angus 1/3rd lb. burger has been cut. Instead they are randomly putting stuff on 1/4th lb burgers and trying to call it premium.

I used to work at KFC as a cook. >The first day I worked, I was trained by the only other cook left. > The second day he resigned. > I was alone for a full week, untrained and my chicken tasted like shit, always uncooked or burned. >The second week I started training new employees to be cooks. > The 2 of them left after a day. >The 2nd week the big manager came and actually taught me how to make edible chicken and it was actually good (But still fat). >Left after a month and a half. > Will never work in a fast food again. I can share other disgusting stories from when I worked there too.

>>7388901 This is pretty funny. I work in retail, I haven't worked in fast food yet. Hopefully I will never work in fast food and I can go right into technical work but if there is some summer I have off of non school I will try to experience working at McDonalds because I always wanted to experience it for some weird reason lol.

I used to work at KFC in New Zealand, the worst time to go was after the dinner rush on a busy night cause they don't have enough time to drain the oil off the chicken. Its all dependent on how busy its been, if its been quiet then you'll get old dry chicken thats been sitting there, if you go when its busy you get the greasy possibly undercooked shit.

>>7388955 I'm the other KFC guy, but I can share some gross shit. The first thing being how to make the coleslaw. 1. Get coleslaw bin 2. Open and pour in six bags of shredded cabbage 3. Open and pour in six bags of "dressing" that looks like the fat sucked out through liposuction 4. Stir around until mixed 5. Let it sit for 3-4 days (in refrigerator) 6. Done

>>7388738 >A thread to vent about poor products and customer service. My Eizo monitor had annoying backlight leak, so I sent photos to customer support. They agreed I could get a replacement unit, and they sent me one. But that whole process took six months, and the replacement unit's backlight leak is probably worse than the original's (but I didn't really notice that until later).

spI worked at mcdonalds for a bit. I didnt actually cook, but our shit was kept clean and fresh. I dont eat mcdonalds though, just the fries occasionally. The registers were confusing as FUCK and i could not get the hang of it. It got even harder when they wanted me to use the register and take orders for different customers at the same time. They stopped giving me hours after a month. Oh and maybe 1/3 of the employees spoke english.

>>7388852 I like McDonald's. Their side salads are good (loose leaf lettuce!) and fruit and yogurt parfaits. Once in a while chicken tenders. I wouldn't eat anything else from that place. I go there maybe... once a year? If that. KFC has good mashed potatoes, and yes it is the "junk food" kind and not real potatoes. Everything else is shit. Your first mistake was buying burgers. Fast food burgers are never good, ever, it's a fact of life.

>>7389325 I could've got a lot. I could've got proper ingredients and cooked a two great meals. But it was late and takeout was I all I felt like getting. As I said, Nandos was plan A and when I'd have to wait half an hour for chicken I said, fuck it and went down the road. My mistake. Won't happen again.
