KFC 5 in 1 - chicken rice box

Hi,
This is to inform regarding the product we bought from your branch situated at Viviana Mall, Thane. We had ordered a 5 in 1- chicken rice box on 26th of Jaunary, 2018. After consumption of it my wife had some burning sensation in her stomach along with acidity and later she vomited in the late evening. We are sure that this symptom developed after the consumption of the food which we had ordered from the KFC as she was fine before that.

We request you to kindly look into this matter and resolve the issue at the earliest.

Kind regards,
Dr. Nilesh Bhise.

KFC chicken not completely done

I recently bought a bucket of chicken from the KFC on hillcroft. The chicken was not completely done.. the breasts were pink inside..ND the thighs were full of fat. I paid over $40 for the meal.. my son got a stomach ache ND threw up later that night. Although I went to the same KFC before ND was dissatisfied.. I decided to give it another try because KFC is my favorite chicken.. I've been eating there for years ND I used to really enjoy it.. that was back in NYC.. since I've moved to Texas.. it seems as though the quality has gone down.. IDK.. maybe they should take more time preparing ND cooking the chicken. I Waisted $42 on a full dinner that no one enjoyed.

KFC food quality and bad cheating staff

Yesterday (23 Jan 2018) I bought a family meal (21 pieces) from KFC AlDabab branch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

I asked for fresh and they said I will have to wait. I waited about 35 minutes and took the order.

When I went home, the food was very very bad. They clearly cheated me and gave me re-heated dark pieces black to the bone. We could not eat!

Today I am going to back to complain and ask for refund.

Please share this message with as many as people possible to be alert and dont get deceived by bad staff.

This was not first time. Before two weeks we ordered online 12 piece bucket and they delivered 6 wings in that bucket

I don't know this because the staff is bad or because KFC is very bad company with very bad policies. If they train staff well and take touch decisions when employees cheat customers, how can staff dare to cheat customers?

KFC service and food

I picked up a 20$ fill up on Tuesday, Jan 15th, 2018 at 519 pm store num j7188318 5437 hwy 90 mobile, Alabama ticket number 1542 I went thru the drive thru and proceeded home. I didn't notice Tuesday evening but on Wednesday when we had left overs I noticed there was no breast in the box. We were given 4 thighs, 2legs, 2wings. It slipped my mind to call on Wednesday because school was out in m mobile county and I was dealing with my sick child as well. I remembered on Thursday to call not expecting a complete order replacement but to have at least the 2 breast replaced I spoke with the manager named Prince and asked me if I could return the order. I advised him I lived 30 minutes away and do to the circumstances that would be impossible. He advised me that do to new policy that I would need to bring the entire order to be replaced. It would have been no problem if I lived 5 minutes or ten minutes away.but the fact that I live 30 minutes away, the schools was already being closed the next day so to ice and freezing temps would have definitely been an issue as well... I normally pick up dinner here at least once a week and order the same thing. Previously I've had no issues when I have called and spoken to the manager about my order. The last time I had issues the Cole slaw containers (4)I ordered was half filled. I spoke with a gentleman and had no issues replacing them. Thetime before I had issues with biscuits being to hard.no issues replacing biscuits...I do apologize for the late complaint but this is an issue that needs to be addressed. You cancontact me via email or on my cell. My email address is Vrknight121612.[protected]@g mail.com my cell number is [protected].

KFC customer service

The manager of this K.F.C. / Delphine Goldie, is by far the rudest, most disrespectful person I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with, out of any fast food restaurant in our town. The way she cusses at her employees is degrading and down right mean. I have a friend who watched her physically shove an older guy who wasn't finished, out the door! Because it was closing time! Everytime I come through the drive thru at night this so called manager will be in her car smoking marijuana with her boyfriend who just so happens to be the kitchen manager. It's not hard to tell what people are smoking when it's done in plain sight! She is constantly firing her employees if they don't bend to her every need, and want. She has just fired one of my friends because it's her day off today, actually this happened about ten minutes ago... but just because it's Sunday and my friend is on house arrest and can't just leave anytime she wants and has to stick to the schedule her case worker has. She has fired another employee just because his girlfriend is sick and was supposed to work and couldn't come in, but because he had other plans on his day off and couldn't come in to cover her shift... he was fired! This manager was even caught fixing employees times on the schedule because they were on the clock longer than expected. So for example, she has made sure that they quit getting paid by a certain time even though her employees are still in the restaurant closing. I cannot understand how this person still has her job!?! A drug screen should be administered.

KFC service

Hi I was in KFC store florida, 3 days consecutive from this monday I was purchasing a meal from them, I was using my debit card to pay for my meal, I gave the cashier the card on my surprise no pin code was requested but I received a sms stating that the transaction has been processed. I asked the cashier how so cause I have puntched in my pin code he told me is my card it doesn't request for pin code. Tuesday and Wednesday same transaction happened, i even told the cashier infront of a store manager that this is my first time experiencing such and I really don't like it. Last night I went to an ATM to withdraw the transaction was unsuccessful even when I changed to different banks. Today I tried to swipe at fishaways my card was declined by my the machine. I had no choice but to go my bank which in nedbank, they told me that the cashier has damaged the card and cashier's are always trained that they have to punch in the debit card and swipe the credit, so I was advised that your cashier has damaged my card. I had no choice to do a new card on a penalty fee of R130.

The card was still new I did in the last week of December 2017, so this is my humble requested could the KFC finance department kindly pay back the damaged cost, I know that is within the best interest of managers to proper train their staff members. I can't suffer or lose R130 because of an untrained stuff.

KFC chicken tenders

I really like your chicken tenders. Why can't I purchase only tenders, potatoes and green beans without a drink? I like to take my food to go and drink water from my home. I don't like to be forced to buy drinks with my meal. You know as well as I do, it's just a sly way to make more money off of your customers. I refuse to do business with a company that doesn't give me a choice. You need to remember... I am the customer and I refuse to buy a soft drink that I don't want. Then I tried to buy only 6 tenders to go with other things that I was cooking at home. KFC refused to sell me just 6 chicken tenders without forcing me to buy a box of potato wedges to go with it. Whats the deal? Don't give me your meal deal pitch! I don't want to hear it! People should be able to walk into your place of business and buy just one chicken tender if thats all they want.
With that said... I finally went up the street to your competitor and they were glad to get my business. And you know what... they sold me exactly what I wanted. If you ever decide to sell only tenders, I might do business with you again.

Drinks are almost always a rip off - and, yeah they all charge ya through the nose for that drink and make you buy it or just pay double for whatever it is you want. So stupid. I quit KFC because their chicken is now almost $2 per piece. In addition, the names of their offerings sounding like something referable to feeding inmates or slopping hogs. You ain't selling me something called "Fill up." And what's this "share" thing? I don't share. I'm not a socialista. You want some? Get your own. But the worst part is that now, you only get 6 pieces of chicken for $10 instead of the 8 pieces you used get for $9. They changed the name - but, hey...I did the math. You can have it.

KFC ridiculous wait time in drive thru line

On 1/3/18, I was in the drive thru line for at least 36 minutes when I got to the menu board, waited another 15 minutes before the cashier got on the speaker to say please wait... told her I was waiting for almost an hour, when she rudely replied that they were busy, no apology for the extensive wait time, waited another 15 minutes (she never came back to get my order) . This is extremely poor customer service. Hopefully this store can do better by their loyal customers in the future.

KFC my food

The 12 piece original chicken that I ordered was absolutely disgusting. The chicken was old, dark in color to the bone, very dry, and the taste was bad. The crew that I bought the chicken for concurred with this description. Additionally, I spoke with the store manager, and he was defensive, minimized the issue, and argumentative. The store manager insisted that what I described could not have possibly happened because the cooking oil is always fresh. I do not have to lie about my experience. I plan to never go back to KFC. Thank God that there are many restaurant options available to eat. A good manager would have looked for solutions to quickly resolve the problem.

KFC incorrect order again

The last 5 times at least, our order has been wrong, and sometimes the items unedible. This happened again tonight at the drive thru in the Spruce Pine, NC restaurant. I usually call, but I'm tired of that. If I had employees like the ones they have, they would be fired. The receipt was correct, at least, this time, but the order entirely wrong. I am completely tired of dealing with such terrible customer service. This store needs to be watched and inspected constantly, until the employees are capable of being professional.

KFC did not get what I paid for

I stopped at the drive up window of KFC on Central Ave in Hot Springs, AR on 12/24/17 to buy the 20$ fill up meal special. They had no biscuits so I chose the potato wedges.
They were very hard and cold. There was no white meat only dark which my husband won't eat. One of the pieces was raw. There was no cole slaw which I thought we were getting. want refund

KFC product - regular fried thighs

On Wednesday, Dec 22 2017, I purchased 6 original thighs, a Large Coleslaw and 2 Biscuits. My total was $16.76 at the 2802 East Ledbetter Dr location in Dallas TX. My ticket #3606 and was @ 5:14 pm. The service was nice on such a Cold, Rainy Day.
But I would like to let the Corporate Office know:
1) there is too much breading on the Chicken
2) and the pieces are very greasy!
I placed a thigh on a folded paper towel and was horribly surprised when ... in a few ... the paper towel was completely saturated in grease.
I've purchased Chicken at this location before but something has changed and believe Companies need FEEDBACK from their customers.
Thank you for the opportunity to let you know of my experience.

Dear Concern
My name is Avinash. I'm regular user of KFC. But mostly facing many complaints regarding your services. Couples of times I place a midnight offer.

And all program is not going worst due to your Miss management. I would like to inform that they do hy give us service on take away as well as delivery. Kind have a look into this matter otherwise the remaining branches will be closed if they continue their services like this
Thanks

KFC orders, staff

Hi im here in port stephens NSW Australia. I have previously contacted KFC here but nothing ever gets resolved. My local KFC is a joke. Orders always wrong, missing meals and told to us by Management they dont train their staff. Salamander Bay NSW Australia. I really think they should be looked at because it really is pathetic. We live 15 minutes away and have to drive back there just to collect what was missing that should have been correct the first time. I dont want to be contacted by Salamander Bay Store because quite frankly it is like talking to a brick wall. I have been contacted on multiple occasions by them and 2 years later the store is no better. Same order mistakes and missing items to be told that wasnt correct. If you order and pay good money you should recieve what you pay for. Please Please look into this Store. This was my so called Chicken Caesar Wrap ?
Thank You
