27 Observations About The Goddamn KFC Line I’m In

[charlie and algernon]

Old man, please know what you want before you order. Holy hell. There is a menu the size of a couch right there. It has pictures of the food on it. This is a menu designed to be usable by gerbils. How the fuck can you be standing in line for 10 minutes and not figure out what you want?

How on Earth can you not know how combos work? That is not a new invention. It’s in the Bible. “Land flowing with milk, and honey for only a dollar more.” Remember that? Fuuuuuuuuuck.

Every single KFC I’ve been to is like this. I don’t get it. The process of frying the fuck out of something and exchanging it for money is thousands of years old. There’s hieroglyphics of it. You’d think the process would be down. How is KFC so bad at this?


Why is there only one cashier? It’s six o’clock. Do they not know that’s when people want terrible chicken dishes? Do they not have some sort of chicken genius with a chicken spreadsheet running chicken regression analyses to map out peak staffing needs? Well how about dinner time? HOW ABOUT HAVING MORE STAFF AROUND AT DINNER TIME?


Seriously. They have three cash registers here. I have never seen those other two used. Are they fake? Part of some sort of elaborate tax dodge? Maybe KFC’s a front for something? A better restaurant?

[charlie and algernon]

4. read the OP again, skippy

:rofl:

Cracked was.

[flvegan]

2. They can't staff up AND afford the "cook" at each outlet.

[charlie and algernon]

3. well yeah, now that each restaurant has a "chef"

:rofl:

[flvegan]

5. I just couldn't bring myself to use that word.

[Kat45]

8. IIRC, the ad I saw said that each restaurant has a "cook.

Even they didn't dare call the person a "chef." :rofl:

[charlie and algernon]

19. oh, haha, I didn't catch that part

i think i black out when they show a person in what IS a chef's hat in their restaurant. :rofl:

[HopeHoops]

6. KFC is a Mellon Republican shit tank just like Pizza Slut and Taco Hell

They call it "Yum!" now. There's nothing "yummy" about any of that garbage.

[MadMaddie]

7. Don't forget Domino's Pizza

We have not eaten there for years because of the Repug nut that owns it.

Blech...

And my partner wanted to try the KFC grilled chicken, fake grill marks :puke:


I would rather overcook, undercook, burn etc my own damn chicken on my own damn grill.

[DarkTirade]

9. I haven't eaten there in years either...

... but that's because the pizza tastes like crap. :P

[Soylent Brice]

23. your avatar is from Hedwig

that's awesome!!

[DarkTirade]

28. Yes, it is.

Both from Hedwig and awesome, that is. :P

[Soylent Brice]

29. absolutely.

BTW, i just realized last weekend that Sugar Daddy Sgt Luther is the same actor that plays the jerk in the movie Cube. it had been years since i saw Cube and DVR'ed it from IFC.

needless to say i sang Sugar Daddy a lot through that movie. the wife was none too happy. lol

[redqueen]

17. Didn't the repug nut sell it years ago?

[Lucian]

10. I'm like that, but in every line I'm in every fucking day.

There's way too many idiots running around.

[conscious evolution]

14. I learned just how illiterate Americans are

while working in a burger king years ago.
You would not believe how many people cannot read a simple menu board.
Why do you think they have pictures of their products on the menu's?

[Orrex]

18. I managed a Hardee's in the early nineties

At one point, that fine establishment debuted the so-called Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger. A one-third pound beef patty, four slices of cheese, three strips of bacon, and onion mayonnaise. We had big posters all over the restaurant clearly printed with the name of this healthy treat.

Without fail, at least four out of five customers read the sign and ordered the "Unlimited" Bacon Cheeseburger, as though they'd read as far as the first letter and then skipped to the picture.

[no name no slogan]

25. OMG... are you me?

I managed a Hardee's for a few months in 1993. Worst fscking job EVAR. The only thing more illiterate than the help was the upper management. God, that job was horrible. :puke:

[Orrex]

27. Did you work in State College?

If so, then it's possible that I am indeed you.

[BlooInBloo]

11. Destined for Internet Classic-dom.

[SeattleGirl]

12. They are ALL like that!

Three registers, only one is open at a time.

Maybe the other two ARE fake!

[bicentennial_baby]

13. KFC should hire me to do Chicken Regression Analysis

Hell yes, just what I've been waiting to unleash my Econometrics knowledge on! :bounce:

[hobbit709]

15. Try telling the person on the intercom at popeye's

That you want half a dozen biscuits. My wife had to explain to idiot that half a dozen is the same as six biscuits.

[charlie and algernon]

20. try telling them anything

I don't know if it's the sound system or what, but I've never had to repeat myself more than when I'm in their drive thru.

[kedrys]

16. "What a fascinating intersection of gravity, fluid dynamics and stupidity."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[JitterbugPerfume]

21. eating fast food kills brain cells

Beware!

[yy4me]

22. You must be talking about Kentucky Fried Bones. That name

has stuck with me for years after one of my kids complained that there was no meat on the chicken breast she had. Her exact words, "mom, this is not really chicken, there is no meat, just the crusty stuff. It is Kentucky Fried Bones". That was the last time I went there.

Your problem w/KFC is not unusual. All fast food places seem to be the same. Not enough staff, customers who can't seem to make up their minds and indifferent clerks who don't listen, even if you do know what you want.

[Arugula Latte]

26. I haven't been in one of those for years and years.

Even the thought of KFC makes my stomach turn over a bit. x(

[Zomby Woof]

24. Kentucky Fried Cruelty?

[Chan790]

30. Indeed...

horrible food, bad service. I just wish that I could find out the "herbs and spices" on the original because I'd love to coat tofu in it and eat them like nuggets.
