KFC food service and physical restaurant

My husband and 2 grown sons an I went to KFC in Hazard KY today for lunch bout 1 PM. My son Brandon age 31 fell on a wet floor in the restaurant thatwas not marked as such. I almost fell a wel when going to the restroom as the flor was still wet. The ffood was terrible especially the chicken. They didnt give us silverware or napkins with our order. They didntt even show any cncern for my son who is obese and mentally challenged. I have never experienced ths poor service or food at any KFC before and I have eaten at many stores from Pennsylvania to Chicago to Japan! I am thoroughly disgusted! darlene Mies Roberts 32 Kimberely Ln Clearfield,KY 40313 [protected]

KFC Cashier

I went to the restaurant KFC AL WAKRAH branch Doha Qatar and there was a cashier on the counter and I asked to place order for me, asking excuse me but she was playing with her phone without taking my order. I waited and again excused her to take my order but still she was on her phone without looking to my face. And after waiting for long she looked at me and took the order. This is completely unprofessional and unethical and cannot accept this. And after the food was delivered the food was so bad it was oily not cooked properly and the pepsi taste like [censored].

Desired outcome: I deleted KFC from my favorite restaurant

KFC 12 piece bucket Fried Chicken meal

I purchased a 12 piece meal on Saturday, August 27, 2022, at the Port Allen, LA location. When I got home with it we pulled everything out of the bags. The chicken was overcooked meaning the crust had a slight burnt flavor and tasted like it was cooked in old used grease, the chicken was dripping with grease and soggy. In addition, the biscuits were very hard and tasted old. The green beans we ordered as one of the sides were also very salty.

Needless to say we won't be going back to this particular store for chicken. Thank you,

Email: [protected]@cox.net

Desired outcome: I would appreciate a response. Thank you.

KFC Drive through operator

I ordered my order online.

ORDER# 6811519

He told me to go inside which I did. Three drive thru orders received their food before I did. I waited 40 minutes with him smiling and ignoring me and a young blonde man also asked if I had been helped and didn't help.Until a very sweet lady helped me. This was a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I am shocked that he is working with people. The only good thing I can say is the young lady with blonde braids was the only person there that helped me. I have been a customer at this location for almost 13 years and I will not be a customer anymore. I will be going onto social media as well to advise people to not visit this location. I worked over 10 hours today to have to deal with this and spent my hard earned money there. This is Unacceptable.

Desired outcome: Please look into your workers there. And I'm asking for my money to be refunded.

KFC Posted advertisement

I just left the local KFC in Draper Utah, the person that I talked with was Jonathan P. The problem was that there was a sign next to the drive up window that said that if you didn’t get a receipt your order was free. When I brought it to Jonathan P’s attention,I was told that it was no longer in effect and that he had removed all of the signs. I took a picture of the sign and went to show him, he refused to come to the window. I then went to the door and he had locked the door. I then called the Draper police. He came to the door and asked me what I was doing. I told him that I had called the police. He then said that he would reimburse me. I called and canceled the request for the police. After we left the Draper police arrived at the store. He told the police that he had asked me to leave several times, in fact he hadn’t asked me to leave at all. He told the police to tell me that I was no longer welcome at KFC.

Desired outcome: Letter of apology for calling me a liar.

KFC Mashed potatoes and short 1 order of chicken fingers that were paid for

Dear KFC.

Family been eating your chicken since 1967. I live in Prescott AZ for 20 yrs and buying your chicken buckets. I ordered a bucket w/potatoes/slaw and fingers.

Got home and the mashed potatoes I poured down the drain. Yes That watery. It looked like cream of wheat No FINGERS in our order. Called store and the teenage manager told me that's how their potatoes are made. I hung up. Your potatoes aren't the best, but no one would eat that batch.

This happened on 08/22/2022 at 11:45 in i Prescott Valley Az. Been eating chicken here for 20 yrs. First time we were dissatisfied. Thanks for any help you can give. Julie Henderson

4550 E Catherine Dr

Prescott AZ 86301

Desired outcome: I would like a partial refund for potatoes and chicken fingers. Most of all I would like the potato situation corrected. Maybe a new worker that doesn't know how or someone that takes no pride in the work. Thank you

KFC Complaint concerning Coupons

Went to KFC2022-08-13 and purchased two chicken sandwiches, received a receipt with a survey and stating, "get a free chicken sandwich with the purchase of Chicken Sandwich", on West Bay Street, Tawas, MI. I Did the survey online and got a code 30704. My husband stopped at the same KFC on 2022-08-18 to purchase another chicken sandwich and get on for free. When proceeded to pay for the sandwiches and gave the young lady the receipt from 2022-13-08, with the code number written on it, she informed him that they do NOT accept the coupons and when he paid for the two sandwiches, she gave him another receipt with the same "Free Chicken Sandwich" message on it. What is going on? We now have two receipts that are of no use for the free sandwiches.

Desired outcome: I would like a refund, apology, or for them to NOT print receipts with offers they don't honor.

KFC Price gouging

My daughter went to KFC in our town (S. Cedar ST., Lansing, MI), ordered a Mash potato/corn/chicken bowl, which comes with a drink, for $5.53, and a 6 pc. tenders (no sides or drink, just the small tenders). They rang up as 14.49. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! I had to drive there to see for myself, then I called and spoke to a manager and the price was correct. I looked it up on line and 6 tenders were $6.99, The manager of the store said prices went up YESTERDAY! The display outside you look at to order shows no pricing when you order, so you don't know how much the items are or the total, etc...

This is completely unacceptable. These prices went up 150%, and I cannot believe this establishment can get away with this.

My order was 20.00 for a small KFC bowl and 6 SMALL tenders. I really demand a refund or coupons or a phone call explaining this price gouge. If these prices remain, I will never ever order at this place again and I will spread the word.

Please call me.

KFC Vegan Burger Meal

Dear Sir/Madam

I have Purchased Vegan Burger Meal from KFC at Uxbridge High Street, In Middlesex, UK. At lunch in between 13.30 PM TO 13:55 PM I went to KFC and placed the order I was told it will take 5 mins. After 5mins I was given a Vegan Burger Meal, I didn't have enough time to eat my meal at the restaurant so I brought my food at my work place to eat which is hardly 2 mins drive from KFC. When started to eat the Vegan Burger it was hard like a rock so I decided to go back to shop to return the Burger. I went in the shop call upon manager. it was a surprised to see a shop manager called ASHOK in a very shabby uniform came and spoke to me, the shop manager was very rude and Arrogant he didn't Apologise, not even said a single word of sympathy that shows he does not have any Customer Service Experience at all. He saw the Vegan Burger and just offer me to replace the Burger only on the condition if I can return him the eaten Burger back I dont know why? once he had checked the burger. I did not give him the eaten Burger to him. He had refused to give me a fresh Burger and did not offer me a refund as well. Now I have escalated this incident with local food authority to investigate this matter. In mean time I was told to write a complaint to you as well. I am regular customer of KFC such a treatment from your member of staff is unacceptable. I wanted to bought it to you attention that your staff should be more professional and he deal with situations like this in more professional manner.

I have also taken some photos that can be provided as an Evidence

your Sincerely

KFC Order not complete

16/08/2022

17.38

I drove to the 302/306 Lytham road branch of KFC at the above time and date

and placed my order for £5.99 Tuesday deal ( 9 piece bucket ) 1 fries and 1 gravy Total £8.98

When I arrived back home and opened the package there where no fries and 4 tubs of gravy and only 8 pieces of chicken.

Having repeated phone calls from 18.00 to 20.00 to tell them they had got my order wrong all I got, when they did decide to answer the phone was a lot of noise and laughter When I placed my order there was no other customers waiting for orders so there should have been no problem with my order.

I go to this branch every Tuesday and never had any problems before

Receipt code [protected]

Desired outcome: I would like a refund £8.98

KFC Gift card

I purchased a gift card for $20.00 worth of merchandise from the KFC in Snohomish, Washington a month or so ago and gave it to a friend of mine. He went to use it and there was no credit on it. It was the first time he had gone to use it. He gave it back to me and I went back to the store where it was purchased. I asked for the store manager and she told me I had to call a number on the card. I figured I bought the card at that location, that they should fix it. Then another person of asian decent took over the transaction and informed me that there was no credit on the card. By then I was steaming and after a few words, no profanity was used, I threw the card at him and left the store. I did not have the reciete for the purchase of the gift card. To put it bluntly I did not appreciate getting screwed out of $20.00
