KFC Product quality

On 9/7/23 @5:00pm at the KFC in Sandsprings Ok I was returning from a trip and planned on taking dinner home There were 2 orders 16 piece dinner and a 8 piece dinner 16 piece dinner was 1/2 crunchy 1/2 original the 8 piece was all White original when I returned home which is 55 miles away my 8 piece was not even a full 8 piece and it was burnt original and could not be ate. Same with the 16 piece the original was burnt. I called and the manager said that she would make it right so I had my son go and what we got was 24 pieces of crunchy in one box again not what I order I think when I spend 86.00 dollars i should get what I ordered

Desired outcome: Either the correct order or my money returned

KFC Not receiving my change on multiple visits

On more than one occasion at the queensmead mall in durban my small change has not been given back to me yesterday I bought ice creams and the 30cents change was not returned this is theft and this is not the first time this has happened. The store is busy so I don’t want to make a fuss but this should not be allowed. If they are doing this all day to multiple customers how much are they getting away with?

Desired outcome: These staff members and managers should be reprimanded or replaced.

KFC Big crunch combo with hair

I first want to say I love KFC food. This time, however, my sister and I went and purchased a BIG crunch combo and in my sandwich was a long hair. It was inside the bun and went I took a bite, it came out. I did go back in and I told the girl, who was very lovely, she immediately said sorry and gave me a refund. I did notice, however, that neither of the people cooking the food had hair nets on. This is not acceptable. This was in the Titus Avenue, Halifax NS location.

Desired outcome: I would like to see the cooks wear hairnets.

KFC Chicken fillet meal and large popcorn chicken meal.

I have complained three times and I have just had the reply they will tell the KFC branch. The meals were expensive and extremely substandard. The popcorn chicken box was three quarters full with few chips. The fillet burger was thrown on the bread with little salad. I have photographic evidence. KFC even told me to contact Deliveroo, it was the food that was poor not the delivery.

Thank you. Zoe Moody

[protected]@yahoo.com

It will not allow me to attach the photographs of the fillet burger.

Desired outcome: A recognition of how poor the food was and some compensation!

KFC crappy service

I ordered online with the app at 5:15pm and asked for the "Quick pick up" for 6:00 pm.

I got there at 5:50, told them I was early so I told the girl, it's not a big deal if isn't ready. At 6:01 I received a message on my phone telling me my order is ready.when to the comptoir, the girl yel at me to go sit because it's not ready !

Even the manager came to calm her down and told me it will be another 5 min. At 6:08 it was still not ready. Finally at 6:12 they gave me my order, no "I'm sorry" nothing... once at home my order wasn't even what I ordered!

We wanted dark meat, and they gave us white meat...I had a bunch of kids, who doesn't like white meat... it cost over $50.00 and nobody was happy...very disappointed and will never go back there, even if we live 4 min from it ... We'll go to El Polo Loco next time.

Desired outcome: a refund

So disappointed about the discontinuation of the potato wedges. They were a perfect side dish for chicken. The new French fries do not have any flavor at all. They are also usually cold and hard. The last few times we ordered chicken, it was as if the pieces came from a Cornish game hen. The pieces were so little. All bones and very little meat. Not worth...

KFC Food , staff, cleanliness

Only my third time I have ever been to a KFC and today is my last ,

A rare treat for my 7 yr old grandson, who felt let down because food was awful , tango watered down , bones in his chicken , the food was dry , veg burger was so over done and solid ( tasted microwaved ) i took it out of the bun, it was awful I’ve come home feeling sick ,

The staff need training, there was no conversation at all , the customer service was non existent. the place was filthy as were the toilets which I decided not to use,.

I can’t understand why any company would allow this ,

I have never written a complaint before. But am so disgusted with the whole experience

Desired outcome: The Isle of Wight Newport branch needs looking into , I am also going to contact environmental health . I’d also like a refund .

I don't know what today's issue the staff was having today. Rather rude and short tempered. People were coming up to the door, and the doors were locked. lots of people went away. They say they are not allowed to put a closed sign on the door, letting people know that they were closed. People were very frustrated and left. This was peak lunch time. Maybe...
