one group of 3 people in front of us who had clearly put their order in had been served with drinks and were waiting for further food to be cooked. Joined in the queue by a further 4 people and after waiting for 10 minutes were the original member of staff had not even recognised there was any kind of queue forming. eventually informed by another muppet behind the counter that they had no food ready and it would be at least 15 mins before chicken would be ready. As a consequnce 6 customers leave the store to find sustinance elsewhere.

sadly this is not my first experience of poor service at this branch in that in the past they have run out of chicken!! or limited choice on side dishes however I would say that service in other branches of KFC has been ok

anybody else had issues with KFC in Accy , or how do other immitations compare with KFC for food

It was packed.

Pandemonium.

I grabbed two seats, clearing a path through the squashed fries, and wiped a table, whilst my mum queued up.

A woman came out of the loo, and came up to me. No one else.

Thrust something in my hand, and said you should read this.

A quick glance confirmed it was some religious text, so I smiled, politely, said no thanks, and offered it her back.

'Read it! I was told more forcibly, with the further information that if I didn't I'd die a sinner in the bowels of Hell.

A firmer no thanks, but she was still bangin' on.

I explained that if I read it or not, her, and her church would still see me as a damned sinner, but I was really very happy with this situation.

Eventually she returned to the people at her table.

I could tell with my mum's face she wasn't too happy in the noisy madhouse.

I went across and said we'd leave, and find somewhere more restful to eat lunch.

If you were in there, I hope you enjoyed the floor show.

The floor show being me turning mental, going over to the disciples table and shouting at the top of my voice, that if she ever saw me again, not to preach her vile filth to me, and she can stick her little booklet up her Parson's nose, and give herself a good finger lickin' experience.

Happily for her it was only a one act performance.

It would have been two, after I'd explained to my mum what had happened, but I managed to get her out into the car, before bringing down the final curtain.

Not somewhere we'll ever be going back to, anytime soon.

(The performance was free to stage by the way. No funding from the state was used.)

:D

I'll admit to a liking for their popcorn chicken and crispy strips but every time we've had KFC we've been disappointed overall, vowing each time never to go back until the next year's bout of anmesia leads us to think it might be nice for a change. Nothing will ever beat roast chicken with a bottle of wine at home with my wife.

For those that either don't or have got out of the habit, give Sunday roast a go.

There'll be logs burning in the grand hearth to welcome (most) guests.

I hope you won't discriminate against any of your colleagues.

I can just picture the Council Leader, laid on a chaise longue, enjoying your seasonal nibbles.

The smallest. Children like chimneys anyway, once he was inside he soon stopped complaining.

Mind you, it's been 4 days now. I suppose I'd better get Jeeves to go and check if he's finished, the gruel is going cold.

I will re-phrase that comment,

They quickly left my premises and closed the garden gate behind them without giving me a second glance.

I did actually thank them for closing the gate but got no response.

Was watching BBC Breakfast News this morning and there was a story about a couple who are getting hitched today and are having there wedding "Breakfast" at the local KFC:D, been trying to find a link but not having a lot of success. Apparently it runs in the family as the brides mother used Mcdonalds for her wedding Breakfast:D

Told that KFC get nine pieces out of one chicken and the chicken talks Dutch as it is imported from Holland chickens.

I have no doubt that when people sign up to a contract or franchise with KFC there are quality stipulations included, but like most things these days very few people follow up and make sure that the rules are being obeyed, which is detrimental to the general public

Shouldnt be allowed, but saying that the shops in larger city's proberly make up the loss they have in shops like Accy.
