KFC Incorrect order

This is the date and time my order arrived:

22nd March 2023, 7:30pm.

My order number was [protected].

The store was KFC Colombo St in Christchurch, New Zealand.

I ordered 4 pieces of original chicken (2x 2 pieces original recipe chicken). When it arrived, there were only two pieces. I have tried to call the KFC store for the past 1 1/2 hours and the phone just keeps ringing until it disconnects. There is no way to leave a message.

Incidentally, the Hot and Spicy mini popcorn was also very dry.

It was disappointing to miss out on the two pieces that I paid for but the fact that no one answered the phone was concerning and showed very poor customer service.

I would appreciate an explanation of why I couldn't get through on the phone and a refund for the chicken.

Desired outcome: Please refund and I'd appreciate a response.

KFC KFC Wraps

3/21/2023 3:05 pm a Tuesday. D011011 2 18 2005. In the Town of Pomona, California on Arrow Highway corner of Town Ave/Arrow Highway.

I ordered one wrap with pickles and mayo. The picture on bill board showed a fully filled tortilla opened at one end with ingredients showing fully stuffed. I received a tiny burrito a piece of chicken one piece of pickle, it all weighed 3 ounces and was wrapped tight like a Mexican burrito. That wouldn’t fill a 5 year old. At $3.00 each that is a dollar an ounce and not worth a $1.30 total. Your prices are outrageous and I can’t support your company any longer. You need to see how wraps are made and offer that.

KFC Store Employees!

I have had two situations that were extremely horrible where I received expired food, and the wrong orders! I have attempted to solve with the staff and they were very rude to say the least. I have reached out to customer service several times in regards to the situation and I advised I don't want any vouchers, I don't want to be a customer any longer. I have been advised to get an attorney as we have gotten sick because of the food preparations that were received! I have received nothing at all, I received one message and I responded and have yet to hear back about a resolution! I have tried to be civil and resolve between us but if I don't get a resolution soon, my attornet will be getting involved and it will be a bigger situation than what I'm asking.

Desired outcome: My money back it was approx. $65

KFC Terrible Service from both the restaurant and corporate office

I went in to the Statesville, NC Glenway Drive location and employees treated me like they didn't even want to take my order. I ordered an original 2 breast dinner and a large order of mashed potatoes with gravy. got home and I received a crispy thigh and leg dinner (no gravy for potatoes. Called the restaurant to get this corrected, but after 20 minutes on the phone, no one would answer. wrote the corporate office (6 times) and I still have not received as much as an apology.

I guess my suggest to any one traveling thru Statesville, NC is go around the corner, we do have a pretty decent Bojangles.

Desired outcome: I would like an apology and refund.

KFC 8 pc fried chicken & 12 pc honey bbq wings

This complaint started with my desire for a tasty and easy meal at the end of a very busy and trying day. I'm looking forward to an easy, I mean a really easy meal no fuss, no must. So fried chicken came to mind; Popeyes, Churches, Hip Hop or KFC!?!? So, I chose to have KFC’s out of an abundance of respect for the ol’ school everything and close to home taste. Well, unfortunately everything fell apart when I stopped at KFC Restaurant #071126 to make my fast-food order (see Attached). I know nothings perfect, but really you don’t usually expect a meal made from chicken (dry as fossils from the Searria Desert) that should have been tossed out at leased 2hours before I arrived to order. French fries the that challenged me for age, I was born in 1944. Ooops, almost forgot, the biscuits taste more like raw flower dough than bread. Yes, and 12 Honey BBQ wings made the same ancient archeological chicken meat. Outside the expense of wasted time, the cost for this little unexpected experience was $51.07 drive through ticket #1357.

Yes, I am being little facetious about the encounter, but customer/guest services is the most important part of surviving in business if that a consideration. Not to mention the reputation of the brand and the establishment. I cannot exactly say where the problem may lie, management and/or staffing but I can say something needs to change. Or maybe, I was just by happen state the one selected to be served the proverbial special sauce!?!?! I hope that what I encountered on March 16,2023 at 1848hrs, is not the standard customer service to expected from your establishment. I'm writing now as an afterthought, because at the time of incidence occurrence, I was so angered at the male treatment I could hardly contain myself. Now feeling better, and if anyone is concerned maybe, management might consider suitable training in customer service skills to be worthwhile.

Desired outcome: Improved customer service and respect. The customer is the reason for job, pay and continued business operations.

We went through the drive through on 3/5/23 at 4:20 pm my ticket number was #1109. When they handed me my order I wanted to double check it before I pulled off because the last time we got it we got home and it was wrong. When the manager saw me, she jerked the window open and was staring at me. I told her I was supposed to have 2 legs and they gave me a...

This is like the 4th time I've been to KFC on comrie Avenue Johnstown New York and had issues with my meals. The first time my food bowls were filled only halfway. The second time my breading was falling off the chicken almost all of it and the chicken was dry. This last time I called in and order online and it took 15 minutes after I told them I was there...

KFC KFC Fair Oaks calif

We happened to be in the area and ended up at KFC Waited 25 minutes before being served to take our order there were 3 people in the restaurant working only one couple in the building and I can't tell you how many People might have been in line with their cars... They had to put down French fries twice as we were there as well as more Chicken. I have never waited as long as we did in a line at KFC.. Someone could have come up to us and said something I told my friend just lets go somewhere else and it will be quicker but already been waiting the 25minutes he felt we should stay so we did. The chicken was not at all what was expected. Surly wasn't satisfied with the order there, nor the service. Would like to be able to go to another KFC and give another chance. Of course, with a coupon to buy again. It was the 16 piece meal...

Sincerely, Sherri Troyer

Desired outcome: Refund or coupon to try another store.

Very bad experience at KFC - bought 2 combo paks with 3 'tenders" 1 side, 1 biscuit and 1 drink at Taco Bell in Lawrenceville, GA order # 147734 on 3/14/2023. Tenders were not but were dry and chews like they had been in heater tray for hours. Cole slaw is no longer the same recipe at all. Biscuit was hard and crusty on top and bottom. The only thing that...

KFC Manager on duty

My husband and I dined in at your restaurant on Galloway Avenue in Mesquite Texas on 3/2/23 at 12:15 pm. The entire visit, we heard nothing but the manager yelling and berating the staff. It was far from a pleasurable dining experience. When I tried to point this out to the female manager wearing glasses, and ask for her name, she rudely told me to “have a good day, goodbye”. I can’t imagine being one of the poor kids working for her! Someone needs to either remove her from a customer service role she is OBVIOUSLY not suited for it give her some extensive training and long term oversight.

Desired outcome: Train her or remove her as a manager. She is offensive to customers and I am sure to her staff.

KFC 2 piece meal

I was one of the first customers on February 28, 2023 at 10:30 a.m., along with a coworker at your 5615 Milgen Road location in Columbus Ga

I purchased 4 chicken wraps, 1 famous bowl and a 2-piece meal.

Upon arriving back to my place of employment, which is only a 6-minute ride, I noticed my chicken was cold and tasted as if it wasn't cooked that morning. It was dry and I usually have no complaints at this location because I eat there at least 3 times a month. I also noticed they seemed to be understaffed as the lady who took my order was working both front=t counter and drive thru. I ordered 2 thighs and received 2 breasts. I did correct the gentleman when I saw him preparing my order, but I still received the wrong pieces. This is one of my favorite places to eat and just wish they could have better training and pay closer attention to preparing orders.

Desired outcome: I would like some feedback please at terri.[protected]@dbhdd.ga.gov, just to know my complaint was received

KFC KFC Family treat

We bought a family treat 8 piece on 25 February 2023 at 20:00 from Silverlakes KFC, when we got home we didn’t receive our mash and gravy like we should, the chicken was plain with no spices on at all, the zinger wings didn’t have any spices on and didn’t even give us a zing and even the french fries didn’t have salt on them. This was really poor service by KFC and I hope that this matter gets attention. Regards

Desired outcome: I would like to get a refund as we didn’t get what we asked for at all. Nothing was like it should be.

When you order online and send someone for collection they always have a problem, either they will say they can't see the order or they will say the person has to wait up until 8pm. I don't know why but I'm sick and tired of it. Another problem they don't pick up the phone, it will ring for ages and drops, when you try again it will be engaged! They are...

My son works in a restaurant and he gets that kind of tip for 1-1 1/2 hours of work at the same table. I'm anxious to see how this will end.

My email address: gary.[protected]@gmail.com
