KFC Speed of food served and excuses

On 22Sep2022, I went to KFC Jalan Stadium, Alor Setar Kedah to have my dinner. I order the new menu 2pc Lay Combo and was told that I need to wait for 20 minutes, and I willing to wait for 20 minutes and placed the order on 7:43pm. After more than 45 minutes (around 8:45pm), I still havent get my 2pc Lay Combo and I went to the counter and asked for the status of my 2pc Lay Combo, they gave me many different excuses such as still cooking, the person responsible for the chicken went to carry stock etcs. Because I have a call from my family and I need to leave, then I requested for cancellation and refund from the KFC Jalan Stadium staff, and at that moment they just brought out the chicken nowhere for me and I required to carry the chicken back to my seat. Since I required to leave so I just bring back the chicken and not finish it at the outlet. I am very frustrated because when I am ordering for the Lay Combo, I was told a delay for 20 minutes and that is acceptable, but I end up waiting for almost an hour and I just get the chicken when I request for cancellation and refund which I don't understand how they can come out the chicken when I request for cancelation but not at the first place when I first as for my chicken status. I can understand that this Lay chicken combo might not the most demand order and require time to prepare but I can accept with all the excuses and the promise 20 minutes was not kept. Thank you.

Desired outcome: I hope that KFC can keep the promise and to be honest to customer. If not able to serve on time please just honestly let the cutomer know and give the customer the opportunity of cancellation

KFC Delayed delivery and unresponsive representatives

I ordered one classic zinger combo and French fries medium and hour ago through the app and is it still not delivered to me. Order # [protected]. The estimated time for delivery was 4:03 pm IST and now it’s 4:34 pm IST. I called the restaurant (kfc porur branch, Chennai) four times and every single time my call was disconnected after saying “hello” and there was never a call back to check on why I was trying to reach them. This is not the way to serve your customers. The worst customer service I have ever come across. The authorities must check on this and sort this out. Surely you have one annoyed customer for today.

Desired outcome: I need a refund for the order and it’s be nice if you improve your customer service for delivery

KFC Chicken

Ok being from the Corbin area and yet living in Northwest now 20 years. Is it just the northwest Silverdale WA now that the chicken recipe no salt not peeper 11;herbs and spices. KFC has not tasted that way in at least 20 years. And I was craving that today but even Silverdale WA KFC was horrible. I understand but is saving that much worth changing the recipe. Well like a frog in warm water gradually boil it will never jump. I give up on KFC Anywhere now it no pepper no taste. No wonder people go other types of food. But finger licking is gone and false advertising now.

Desired outcome: Bring back the recipe add the spices pepper salt. Quit trying to save money by replacing taste

KFC Food missing and id did not match the driver

I ordered 6 meals from KFC, The order was already incorrect, the driver went back and said it was KFC fault but when she returned with the order, she said they added free chips for the incorrect order but when we received our order there was still a meal missing and no free chips. Also the driver said it was a male but it was definitely a female. I spoke to KfC manager who had checked the cameras of them packing all the meals. Abit suspicous that food is missing and the driver does not match their ID. The order i ordered was for my colleague's who are nurses and our entire lunch break was ruined as we obly get half an hour

Desired outcome: full refund

KFC Wrong order through Door dash service

Today 9-15-22 I ordered KFC 10200 S Halsted, Chicago, IL 60628 through door dash. I ordered a 2 piece chicken breast and wing. I received 3 chicken strips.

I also ordered a spicy chicken sandwich and received some type of Mac and cheese bowl with chicken on top!

My father who is the only reason why I even order from your establishment is particular about what he eats! This is the second time I ordered from this store trying to give this store the benefit of the doubt! And the order was wrong!

Desired outcome: review the stores procedures especially when it comes to door dash and other home delivery services. I want there to be a better check and balance into what goes into the bags! And I want a gift card for my trouble

KFC Unbeatable chicken wings

I went to kfc wheeling island, wheeling WV. We ordered bunch of food for family. I ordered four wings and two biscuits. We were there at about 7:30 PM, Tuesday September 13th, the wings were fried far to long they were very hard and over cooked. There was no way to eat them. The biscuits were great as usual. If I could have eaten even a couple of the wings I would not complain, but these were clearly visibly bad,

Desired outcome: 4 chicken wings

KFC I ordered zinger but received zinger paratha

I ordered in lhr last night of 2 things one zinger burger and fried chicken . I got zinger paratha instead of zinger burger. And on the bill it was mentioned zinger burger I was in hurry I didn't check it out and the bill was 1020. Zinger's price is 500 and paratha is of 230. I paid according to my order. It's really disappointed me that the order was changed .

Desired outcome: I hope you will solve out this I'm going to attach a bill summary picture you can check out. And the bad thing is that I paid more than the actual bill and KFC didn't call me back or didn't check the order.

KFC Chicken breasts

I don't like dark meat chicken. I only like chicken breasts. I have accepted paying more for a single meal with just a chicken breast. My problem is that KFC does not seem to get many chicken breasts. The last few times I went to KFC for a chicken breast meal, I was told that they were out of chicken breasts. I guess if I want take-out chicken, I will need to go elsewhere. So disappointed because I really like KFC chicken breasts (and thighs are not the same.)

Desired outcome: Please supply your restaurants with more chicken breasts.

KFC Kfc Felixstowe road Ipswich

Went to kfc on the September 11th 2022 was served by a rude employee named Georgina mohan she was disrespectful disregarded my order completely messed up. Then someone called Peter benham spat in my drink witch myself and 2 others witnessed we were thrown threatened and refused a refund. The food was inedible and cold there was also pink chicken on show.

I asked for no cheese because I am allergic and it was purposely put on my bun was torn and mouldy. Will not be going back! Disgusted is an understatement!

Desired outcome: Refund would be nice for a zinger towel meal and 2 flamin wraps and 2 mini fillet burgers small chips and 2 tangos and 8 hot wings.

KFC Rudeness of associate

September 8, 2022 @1:01pm I drove into the drive thru - the associate did not greet me, she stated "exact amount or card only", this surprised me, and I asked her to repeat that statement - no response. I waited approximately 2 minutes - no response. I then drove to the window, and she rudely stated, "why didn't you place your order back there?" I responded - because you never gave me a response to my question. She then rudely stated "I can't take your order at this window". I then drove around and went into the restaurant. She was also working the inside area and was still rude. I placed my order and while eating my food realized the cole slaw tasted old.

Desired outcome: I would like a refund

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

When I went inside to pick up my order, I noticed one of the associates wasn't wearing gloves. As he was making the customer's food who were in front of me, I saw him touching all over their box with his fingers touching the inside. When he started making my food, I kindly asked if he a had gloves. The associate responded that just because you wear glove...
