KFC rude manager

I went thru the drive thru of the forest park, Cincinnati kfc to order dinner for my family. When I got up to the window I was told to pull around front and they would bring my order out. It took them 26 minutes to bring my food out. When I got home after waiting for 26 minutes, I find that my order was messed up. I was missing most of my order. I called the restaurant to tell them. I spoke to a manager named Matthew and he said to come back up and ask for him and he would make it right. I went back tonight April 7th at 8:45pm. The manager said that Matthew no longer worked there and there was nothing she could do because I didn't have a receipt. Who keeps fast food receipts? I offered to show her the debit card transaction on my phone bank app and she wouldn't even look at it. I told her that they have messed my order up several times and I never said anything. This time I want it made right. She refused then walked away while I was still talking. She was unbelievably rude and I don't understand how she could even have a job there let alone be a manager. I want something done about this or I will never eat at any kfc location ever again

KFC 5 meal fillup

I visited Rosa parks kfc
The food was awful. Being I loved KFC chicken the potatoes and gravy were running and the original recipe was undercooked. I vowed to never visit that particular store again.

So two days ago I went to the clarksvills OK store and the potatoes and gravy taste scorched and the chicken was so overdone I couldn't get it from the bone the breast was crispy and had no taste.
So completely I am now going to Popeye for an enjoyable meal. That is hot, fresh, and tasty.
Goodbye colonial Sanders, I guess you didn't want to leave your secret recipe for the world to keep loving my used to be favorite chicken . I has flown the coop and I don't want to eat the new secret recipe. Oh and the great biscuit was dry and taste like baking powder. Awful
RIP KFC

KFC advertising

Get rid of Reba McIntyre as Colonel Sanders. It's just plain bad advertising. Completely lost my appetite for your chicken with her singing about it. Sanders was and always will be a man, not a woman dressed like a man. Worst advertising stunt I've ever seen. Not sure what the whole point of using a woman was, but everyone I have talked to feels the same. Do the franchise a favor, find a guy who will do KFC proud and stick with him. I won't be buying any of your chicken until you do.

KFC the chicken

I went to two KFC restaurants both places chicken didn't look like anything like KFC food. It was burnt at the first place an you couldn't tell the original from the crunchy, the second restaurant wasn't my much better. I think someone doesn't know the chicken doesn't even look like the commercial. It look like it was under heat lamps all day or was leftovers from the night before. We sit in drive thru at first place 20 mins thought we were getting fresh food. WROUNG..hope someone makes some changes so we can enjoy our favorite chicken again.

KFC order and food were not acceptable.

I am very disappointed in the service that I received on April 3, 2018. My order took 45 minutes then when I got it the items in the boxed were wrong. I took it back inside. Mind you I went through the drive thru. I got home and the Mac n cheese had burned crusty pieces and the chicken was suppose to be thigh and a leg it was a leg and a breast my sister don't eat breast. The tenders that my niece had was so hard she couldn't eat them. I myself purchased a famous bowl and the chicken in the bowl was all crunchy. I spent a good amount of money on these meals and I was not happy.

KFC kfc on the corner of broad street & 13th street in phenix city, ala. 36867

I personally love the chicken that KFC is known for. But the restaurant closest to my house (the above mentioned) is the nastiest food I've encountered ever. I'm not raciest at all but I suspect that it's whites targeted in believe it or not, food poisoning. I challenge whom ever reading this, send a trusted white person in the KFC I'm speaking about, order a pot pie. I'm positive that the response will be most disgusting chicken pie ever. Please fix this. P. s. there are many more stories I've experienced in this particular KFC location.

KFC service

I went to the KFC at 720 Northwest 37th Avenue Miami, Florida at approximately 10 p.m. on April 1st, 2018 Easter Sunday. I waited at the drive-thru for approximately 5 minutes nobody said anything to me. The first window was closed. I went to the second window. The lady told me she could not take my order I had to get back in line. I explained to her I already waited in the line and nobody even said I'll be right with you, , nothing. She still refused to take my order and all I wanted was a one piece $5 fill up. Finally I asked for the number to the home office to complain she tried to give me the store phone number but I knew it wasn't the home office number. I said that's not the home office number then she told me it's 1 800- KFC. I knew that didn't add up either. Anyway that's a hell of a way to treat somebody on Easter Sunday and I hope you take some action to correct this problem. I asked for her name to report her and she told me her name was Mercy. Maybe it was Marcy, a heavy set woman up in age with white hair. Thank you for your help.

KFC manager's behavior/performance

date: 03.30.2018
time: 12:41pm
Restaurant #J130033
Ticket: #1911
drive thru
I come to this store almost everyday. I am always polite and courteous(yes please...no thank you...etc) my only problem was that several times my order was wrong but i'd already be back at my job when i'd find out! So...i started checking my order upon receiving it at the drive thru window. This is when the manager would chastise me rather rudely and tell me to move it! I would try to tell her i was just checking my order because on a number of occasions it has been wrong but she would never listen or hear me...just rudely yell at me to move it, then she'd walk away.Checking my order could not of taken more than a few seconds! Today the apparently insane manager told me to "never come back to KFC"(thats sure good customer relations).All because i took a few seconds to check my order each time to avoid Their Careless Mistakes but i never once complained about that...(i understand people make mistakes)Obviously, your manager doesn't understand Anything! I found her to be Extremely obnoxious, incredibly rude, totally inconsiderate, and probably one of the worst "Professionals" i've ever met! I've been married for 34yrs. and worked in my profession for 38yrs. without interruption...I'm not bragging however, i do have a bit of a clue about how to get along with others...The way your manager represents you at the Atlantic City store should Most Definitely be re-evaluated...her people skills seem to be non-existent at best!

PS- i attempted to give her another chance to resolve this problem like an adult Professional but that was when she avoided my request to speak to her in the store and proceeded to call in the Atlantic City police department(Really?). So pathetic...i guarantee you that you will find what i found if you so investigate.Actually, i do feel sorry for her...she obviously has a deeper disturbance that's saturating her demeanor with hate and disdain. Good Luck i guess i will have to go to Popeye's Chicken now that i am officially band(per your manager & AC police dept)from KFC!

feel free to email me in the event my "Band" gets lifted.

KFC dress code

We eat at the Chipley, Fl location regular. On Friday the 30th of March we were having our evening meal during the shift change. I seen two young men walk in to start their shift and one of them I would have sent home if I were manager. Let me explain, he has long braids that were just hanging and flopping, his slacks were down below his butt and his underwear in plain view
no belt! This really cooks my goose to see someone that looks like this prepare my food or even hand me a tray! I'm a manager and if I had one of my employees walk in looking like this they could go back home. I've ate my last meal at this location. It's sad they have remodeled this location and it looks very nice! They need to work on employee dress code!

KFC raw chicken

I went to Kentucky Fried Chicken the location at Barnum Avenue in Stratford CT. March 29th I went and bought the family pack for myself my son and my aunt who is on oxygen so basically she is sickly. The chicken was raw so I just made them pasta and sauce. I called and spoke to the manager she told me to bring in the receipt for a refund. Today after i got off of work at 5:00 pm. I went back with receipt and the raw piece of chicken. The female manager said where's the rest of chicken i said in garbage I told her I would go home and get it she then said where are the sides I said in garbage I offered to go home and get it and bring it back I had no problem with doing that. Then a male manager brought me the refund and said not once but three times next time to bring receipt and the food. He said your lucky to get a refund. No i think Kentucky Fried Chicken is LUCKY we didn't get sick.

KFC unethical behaviour

On 3/26/2018 at 11:00am I went to the KFC to get food. I was totally disrespected by being humiliated and verbally harassed by an employee there because of a personal issue the employee has with my sister. I was cursed at and the employee became aggressive towards me. The manager could not calm the employee down at first by then I was upset by conduct.

KFC kfc staff being rude and giving the wrong order

Hello, on march 27 2018, at 4:23 pm I made an order at the KFC on 5700 Baltimore Ave, Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I order the 4 pieces chicken bucket and repeated my order to the cashier over 5 times and she also repeated the order back to me; however, at the end she gave me the chicken tenders instead of the 4 piece of regular chickens. This is not the first that that this cashier has made this type of mistake. I actually stop going to that KFC because they always give you the wrong order and they are also very rude.

I went to the KFC in North University and the parking lot is full of holes and some of them can really do damage to your car. It really needs to be fixed, especially now that is only drive up!
