£9.99 bucket
The bucket only contained 2 drumsticks, 2 wings and 2 legs, thighs was no chicken breast and the meal was cold for the second time running, we are travelling nearly 300miles to visit my granddaughter probably twice a month and the only food we really look forward to eating is the £9.99 bucket meal on our journey, this is very disappointing and frustrating and I would like something done please or I will be taking this matter slot further and higher. Please email me back Thank you.

delay in delivery and error in order
I placed my order over the phone on 1st June 2011 at 4.40 p.m. and received my delivery in two hours at 7.15 p.m. after making endless calls ...at the universal number and also at the branch...i was told first that the rider could not find the house, then after calling several times, they said another rider was sent but due to the rain he slipped and the food got spoilt so he got back and soon it would be delivered but there was no sign of him...i would call their branch but no response, finally spoke to them and insisted on talking to the rider so I could explain him the house but he wasnt inerested and kept saying he was familiar with the area and did not require any directions...I kept waiting but he did not show up...
My 11 yr old son had his friends over who were almost going back without eating anything when finally the food arrived at 7.15 p.m. after two hours! and on top of that they charged me extra for upsize when I had not ordered any upsize!
I was very disappointed with their behaviour as no one was taking the responsibility to ensure timely delivery and no body to respond and give any information regarding the order status ! They could have informed me if it was not possible to deliver so I could think of an alternate instead of waiting and expecting it would be arriving any minute!
Very poor and unprofessional attitude of the customer service!A bad experience!
kfc complaint
Hi,
Would like to share my bad experince in KFC @ RT Nagar / Bangalore on above mentioned date, after i finish my berger & started having Pepsi in between i just opened the cap of that Pepsi cup, i found flies inside the Pepsi cup. I was really shocked and went to the counter and showed the cup to the counter person. And the counter guy was very cool n he said it's ok will get one more cup for you, then we have asked him to call the manger to meet, first they din't bring the manager out and introduced another counter guy who take order, but we shouted and asked for the manager to come n give us an explanation on this issue. Then Mr. Sachin came to us and said that will make sure it will not occur again.
Even though am your regular customer travelling different state and visit KFC we trust the quality of food and cleanliness, but it is not true. Quality and cleanliness is not maintained properly. After this incident we are not visiting KFC as we can't trust the quality of food. Many people are visiting KFC with family & children and never know what was the quality of food served.
Pleas make sure that this should not happen to anybody as there is a value of money and people involved.
Best Regards,
Dinesh Nairi

service
on the 24/05/2011 @ 10.45 i visited KFC - Gateville and ordered 4x 4 zinger wings, the lady Beulah told me that it will take 7.30 minutes and she asked me if i will wait and i said ok and paid R 47.6 with my credit card . After 12 minutes she call me and told me that they only got 3 x zinger wings and that the lady at the back was at fault . She than tell me that i must wait for another 7.30 minutes if i want the other wings . At this point in time i was already 20 minutes in the store . So i could not wait as my lunch time was over . i ask for a refund and left .
smoking cannabis
On the 01.05.10 Saturday after 10pm I was walking my dog and I walked through the Thames KFC drive way and could smell the presents of cannabis being smoked so I went by the back gate and saw a guy in a blue shirt with curly hair smoking cannabis there were 2 others but I could not see them only heard them. I then walked away disgusted. This should be taken seriously because what could happen if they were to serve a customer and they were to see them like that it wouldn't look good for your company allowing your workers to do this kind of thing.

Best to have complained at the time when returning the food giving them chance to recify the situation.
food was terrible
yesterday 2011-05-22 my boyfriend went to kentucky in grassy park victoria road.
he purchased a streetwise five with mash and gravy and a zinger burger.
the mash and gravy only consisted of gravy, the fillet on the burger was like rubber and definitely not edible.
the coating on the chicken was so hard we couldnt enjoy our meal.
it wasnt the first time that we experienced this from the same kentucky, but the first time we let it slide but we have bought there several times to experience the same thing.
i am not happy with the way they make there food. the srevice is great but the food aint.
no hotwings & lying reps
I have submitted a number of complains on the KFC website, but thus far nobody has responded to it. I have complained about the non availability of hotwing in kfc carletonville on hello peter and within 24hrs the kfc customer service called me to say that the will look into the problem and they also promised me a voucher, needless to say, the voucher never came and the hotwing are still unavailable. Where should one place his /her complain, if the complaints are never looked into or resolved?
Excellent one, thanks! :^D
rude employee, order mixup
After a long day day at the doctors office, my sister & I decided to grab a bucket of KFC for our dinner. The young lady on the earphones was short with my sister telling her to repeat our order.After several minutes my sister said just give us the 8 piece.Our home is in the next town of Groveport 20-25 miles away.When we opened the bucket when we got home we found 6wings & 2 thighs, since it was late, although diappointed, we ate our dinner.The next morning I called the store & asked to speek to a manager, & was told I was speaking to her.I gave her my complaint & she said to come inat our convience & we would get a free bucket.I went out of town for Mothers day & came home on Tuesday.Weds.afternoon I went into the store to get what was promised to us.The mtgr on duty informed me that she is the only female mtgr.at that store, & my name was not written anywhere.She did give me an 8 piece bucket but not before all in the store thought I was conning the store.This KFC has lost a loyal customer, & I plan to use another company from now on. Thaqnk you R.Mash

cold food
Me and my boyfriend went to KFC today (Fri 13th May 20011) we qued for a good 10 mins before odering i had ordered a wicked zinger meal plain. After ordering our food a member of staff came to me after a good 5 minutes and stated that there was no burgers left even tho i new there was because i heard them saying they messed up my order and beacuse the man who ordered after me got his burger. I then sat down to eat my food to find my gravy and chips were stone cold. I didnt like to say anything because i dont like to complain. A few weeks before hand my boyfriend found a feather in his chicken i want this matter dealt with. I will not be in that kfc ever again!

FUKCEN [censored] I GOT FOOD POISONING CUS OF YOUR STUPID PIECE OF ### FIKEN ### !
Food never ready always have to wait 15 to 20mins for them to cook Chicken
MALAYSIA KFC HAS RUINED KFC BRAND NAME BY HAVING SOME ###ED PERVERTS WORKING IN IT. YOU US KFC SOMEHOW MUST TAKE PROPER ACTIONS AGAINST KFC MALAYSIA SO TO GAIN BACK OUR CONSUMERS CONFIDENCES, IF WE SEE NO ACTIONS WILL BE CARRY OUT, WE WILL BOYCOTT KFC WORLD WIDELY... ETERNALLY. CHECK OUT THE VIDEOS FROM THIS LINK : http://my.news.yahoo.com/kfc-malaysia-staff-in-scandalous-videos.html WE ARE WAITING TO SEE YOUR ACTIONS...DONT FOOL US !
Jim52 Honey, I only wish I could have been joking about them fowl nasty yard birds eatin their own turds as well as each others turds but it's really the truth have seen it with my own eyes & would never lie to you honey.They should be smoked & the more smoke the better If your going to eat them nasty old yard bird turds.Ok? So stock up on them wood chips & smoke em If Ya got em?
Honey, Chickens eat their own crap & Each others as well & your worried about people smoking around them? Would think you want them smoked to get rid of the taste & to kill the bacteria from that life time of turd eating they enjoy doing.Unless of course you think their turds are in some way healthy? Think about it this way If you are what you eat, Then those Chickens are what they eat as well, So If your eating Chicken, how much Chicken are you really eating?
Brenda Honey you keep working the moderation thing & i will keep trying to work on the life insurance policy, easier said than done he's also over age 50, So would have to have another Life Insurance Policy on somebody else to be able to afford the premiums on his. lol.You keep doing what you do you sure give this old lady something to laugh about appreciate that more than you know.
No Molliewollie i never did read the jungle, but can imagine that would be alot of animals killing & eating other animals as a form of survival, as humans we are at the top of the food chain & humans just buy their meat at the grocery store. And gkenigmatic, theres people who cant even boil water & you really dont want to trust them to cook you any meat Or, do you? Brenda, i got a friend that eats nothing but meat & taters rinses it down with a soda pops & candy bars, he's 300 Lbs.of Stupid & cant imagine why he has high blood pressure & Diabetes.Kinda hope that iam mentioned in his Will.Since i have seen him eat 6 Pcs.of an 8pc.Bucket of half cooked KFC Chicken. Saw another friend stoke up his grill, open a pkg.of chicken, did'nt clean it, threw it on the grill & then licked his fingers with raw chicken still on them.If i do eat a steak now & then i cook my own & share most of it with my old dog, but i really do like fruit&veggies so eat alot of those.Is that wrong?
To be honest was sorry that i watched it, those people should be jailed for animal abuse. Think i will just become a vegetarian so that i wont be contributing to any form of slaughterhouse abuse of any animals.Theres some sick people out there that should'nt be around any living things of any kind.Makes people with a brain wonder how they treat their families? Or if they are taking out their anger on these poor animals because they are angry with somebody else?

Just curious, does Amir speak English?
So how much longer do you think you'll continue to volunteer for KFC?
wrong order
On the night of Thursday 14 April I bought a 10 piece box of chicken from Kentucky Fried Chicken in Batemans Bay.
When I got home and opened the box it contained 7 legs and 3 thighs pieces.
This is 10 pieces of chicken, but I feel I was cheated out of the better quality pieces, so that it was not value for money.

Does the menu state that it comes with a certain variety of pieces?

insult
Hello, ,
My name is Maysarh Sabry and I'm from egypt and I'm living in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
My complaint first is about the very bad service in the whole kingdom of saudi arabia, delivery, the way that the employees dealing with the customer and the orders timing. The fastest delivery order in the whole kingdom is 40 minutes, that if we considered that they were very fast, really the normal time is 45 minutes and more. by comparing between the service here and the service in Egypt and Emirates oh! trust me that is not fair comparison because the service here really is very bad, and when you just think in calling a supervisor or to leave a short complaints with a desperate attempt to improve the service you will find a very hard routine in everything and everyone by asking why you wants to complaint why, why and more from the ways that they can cover each others with.
By the way I'm here to leave my message that I'm in 4th of April 2011 I went to eat a sandwich and I was inside the restaurant I ordered already and I seat more than 15 minutes then I went to the cashier I told him can you quick please and there was no any stress at the restaurant that time, he told me wait just one minute, I replied okay, then the supervisor Mohammed Ali came with the sandwich and with lazy way where the fries, come on make some, I told him now its 20 minutes and I you will start in making some fries! my sandwich will gonna be cold, he told me ""excuse me if you have a mind just leave"" I told him ""how you can talk to your customer that bad way?! please give me my money back and I'll complaint"" he told me ""whatever"", and he gave me my money back, I told him more one time ""I'll complaint"" he told me in angry way ""no more talk just do whatever, just go out of here and whatever you want"". I called the customer service and I requested the complaints phone number and after calling them like 4 times they finally gave me the number, and nothing happened after, after making a complaint nothing happen yet. so please give me my respect back and wish you do something to improve the service I love KFC and that is not good.
with respect,
Thank you

cursing/ignoring phone calls at central offices
I visited this store on christmas eve last year (4 months ago) with my son and father who had recently had a stroke. While ordering, I hear the district manager in the back office screaming obscenities over the telephone. He used language that my young son had never heard before, and all of this on christmas eve. I was quickly greeted by another manager who gave me a telephone number to kfc central offices. I contacted them on that day and was told that they would return the call. After four months, I called back today... Again no phone call back. I think this behavior from a district manager signifies weaknesses that need to be addressed. I have not returned and plan on contacting the better business bureau in the morning. I am so glad that my son (Who's mother abandoned him at age 3) and my father, who is 55% brain-dead from a recent stroke, could experience christmas with kfc's staff cussing like a sailor and acting so inappropriately (All the while there were christmas decorations up). Im offended by this and even more so by being ignored.
I thought this was a legitament site for posting complaints. All I have seen is a bunch of crap in the twelve hours I have been on this site. How about a little PROFESSIONALISM from you ###s?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Public profanity is still free expression, and that Georgia law is against The Bill Of Rights. I'll be they still sell CD's and MP3's in Georgia with the F word in the songs. To make that illegal would be a violation of Amendment 1 and never forget that Amendment 2 guarantees the 1st exists! When out in public it is simply a risk you take. Plain and simple.
Public profanit is illegal in Georgia (U.S.) but I do believe that it varies from state to state now.
Under Georgia law, it is illegal to use "obscene and vulgar or profane language in the presence of a female or of a male under the age of 14." No mere remnant of the past, the law was enacted in 1968; now, by a 6-1 vote, the Georgia Supreme Court has upheld its constitutionality
@ Jody Shelton who said this, "I thought this was a legitimate site for posting complaints. All I have seen is a bunch of crap in the twelve hours I have been on this site. How about a little PROFESSIONALISM from you ###s?" How can you post a complaint about cussing and say this? It appears your hypocrisy knows no bounds. I hope they NEVER get ahold of you and that Manager goes unpunished! How about a little PROFESSIONALISM from you?
(For everyone else, Jody Shelton is the one whining about 1st Amendment rights and what a worker in America said on Christmas Eve when they were forced by this consumer to have to be there due to demand.)
BTW, I can handle the cussing, it's your double standard I find revolting!
It is stealth pilot thinking they own the place. he/she has like 20+ usernames to bully people around, and makes it looks like there is a conversation going on to gang up on the poster. pay no mind. said person loovveess the attention.
Anybody that makes anybody else work over the holidays by patronizing any business rolls the dice. It is also America and out in public. If you don't want your son to hear people cussing then don't take them out in public. Especially to a place where the employees are paid very little to have to work on a holiday like Christmas Eve. The employees wouldn't have to be there if people didn't insist on demanding the service on a holiday to begin with. It is always the low rung of the totem pole that have to work the shifts over the holidays, they need their jobs but would rather be with their son on a holiday than serving you chicken. Especially in a bad economy when employers are using the bad economy as an excuse to force people to work these kind of shifts if they want to keep their jobs.
Terrible!
