KFC Manager in Crowley Louisiana

1/23-5/23 the store manager in this store in harrassing a male employee in this store. This young man has been working for this store for the past 4 years. Never had any complaits until this manager took over store. He is a trained manager. The manager is always telling him and another manager that the safe is short money and makes these 2 employyes pay it back, this has been going on for some time now. When this employee said he was not paying any money back bevause he does not go in safe the manager made him turn his keys in. This manager is making these employees do her job whild she sits playing with the money drawers. He will be doing his job and she tells him to do what she is suppose to be doing and then get mad and start trying to argue with him because his work is not being done. She has accused him to me that he is going into work drunk when I know she is lying because I bring him to work and pick him up daily. He is a manager and make way less then 40 hours a week. She jumped on him just about a week ago about leaving a few things soaking in the sink overnight after she told him to tell when he spoke back to her she threatened to call the police and have him escorted off the property. She is always yelling at him for no reason and if he tells her somethng she wants to call the police. She is signaling him out for no reason. I have contacted my attorney and he told me this is harrassment and informed me to contact company before taking it futhur to see what can be done about her. She has told the dm I understand that this young man comes to work drunk daily and is trying to get other employees to say it also.

Desired outcome: this manager needs to be replaced. harrassment is a very serious thing.

KFC Burnt food

Order 1642, unique code SA727-280523-[protected]. 28 May 2023 @17:42 I went to go buy the 9 piece bucket and they told me I would take 30 min for it to be ready but when got home to dish up for everyone the meat was burnt and no one could enjoy it, that is why I took a video of the burnt chicken, it had to be thrown away. So we only had like 1 each because of the burnt pieces I would like to be refunded if not refunded the organised another because it’s not fair having to eat 1 piece after purchasing it for 144.90 and to get burnt food, I slept in a empty stomach, please see what you can do because I don’t think I’ll ever buy from that kfc because each time it’s a different story.

Desired outcome: I would like to be offered a meal because I did not eat the meat, I had to throw most of the meat because it was burnt.

KFC Being fired because I called the gm for serving customers burnt food.

5/24/2023

I Deanna Green was coming back from break when one of my employees, pointed out to me that the fries were burnt & very greasy so I told her to toss them and proceeded to the freezer to get more. Once I got back with the fries to drop more. My General Manager Kimberly Cunningham, hollered at me and said don’t drop those fries I have some right here. My response was but they’re burnt & greasy. She yells again saying this is my store and I’m running the show. I said that’s crazy to serve those and took the fries I was about to cook back to the freezer. I was in such disbelief that as the GM she was really selling those fries to customers, so I took a picture of them and while doing so she (Kimberly) came behind me an said I could clock out and go home until further notice because I was picking with her. Which I wasn’t she just knew she was in the wrong. So I went to clock out while doing so I was in shock with what had just taken place and said (this [censored] crazy). She heard me and proceeded to say I was fired for using profanity. And that I better get off the property before she calls the police and has me removed, as I was already on my way out the door. It was customers in our lobby and they were saying (I can’t believe she just did that) she being very rude a disrespectful. When I all honesty it really wasn’t called for. She was in the wrong.

Desired outcome: I would say I take my job back I don’t want to work for some that does business in that manner. And has no respect for their customers or employees

KFC Refund

Dear Americana group MGT,

I am writing today regarding the restaurant (kfc hanssan el maamon), located at (nasr city opposite to el ahly clup) where I recently experienced an event which disgusted me so much that I will never return to the restaurant again or even KFC.

I highly suggest that the Department of Health & Hygiene investigates their health and safety licence, as well as the cleanliness of their food serving areas, as smell of chicken very bad due to burned oil that reflect on chicken taste and smell as all peaces have black spots from outside from burned oil+ chicken dark meat peaces full of blood from inside not one peace all of peaces surved.

Going out to eat is supposed to be one of life's pleasures, something to be enjoyed, where the customer puts their trust and money in the restaurant's reputation as well as food hygiene in the kitchen.

We informed them about what we found but they do nothing and informed that nothing wrong at the end they will deliver our concern to the MGT and I did nothing too as my kinds wants to sleep and I dont want to panic them any more or bother your clients there.

Please look into the matter; this restaurant should be closed down for severe lack of hygiene!

I hope to hear back from you soon.

Sincerely,

Alaa eissa kamel

KFC Industrial generator installed outside my window today is giving me migraine, and I can't sleep

Industrial generator installed outside my window today is giving me migraine, and I can't sleep. I tried to stop the installer, and ask if the had permission but they just ignored me to go ahead to install the equipment outside my window. I have a lot of medical complications and the noise is making me physically ill and I have to close my windows which is dangerous for anemia as I need a lot of air. The kfc west norwood did not give me notice of this installation and they have acted without care, selfishly and detrimental to my health

Desired outcome: Remove the offensive implement swiftly. It's making me sick

KFC About service and delivery timing

I order 18 pieces Super Bucket Meal. The agent she told us the delivery timing is 50 minutes so I wait for Minutes. Almost 1 hour now the order still not came. and I call the driver and I asking for my order and they told me my cancelled order. How come my order canceled I already paid through link. So I call again the again she told me they transfer my order in the other outlets. How come not even call me and to informed that and we are still waiting for the order. Now again my order still preparing in the other store almost 1 1/2 hours we are waiting for the food. This is not acceptable.
Evetime I order in the KFC they did not follow the delivery timing always late.
I choose KFC because I know your your good in Service. I'm very disappointed

KFC My orders are incomplete

I have ordered dinner on 23 May 2023: 2 x fully loaded box meals; 3 x colonel burgers; 1 latge chips; 1 mash and gravy. Did not receive the 3 rd burger I have paid for. I make use of MrDelivery service. 2nd time in this month that I have ordered and not received all the items that I paid for. The previous order I did not receive the chips I ordered. Despatch KFC’s staff is utterly incompetent. Even when ordering at the branch itself, there are always error in the orders.

Desired outcome: I want my money back.

KFC Order totally not satisfactory

On 5-19-23 I went to the West Lebanon store in Lebanon NH. I ordered a 12 piece meal, bean burrito. When I got home and opened the chicken, it looked like it was fried way too long, really dark and extremely crispy, tough, not even warm. I actually got 3 legs, no wings, 2 breasts and 3 thighs, i think lol. once piece so so tough and fried to the point I could actually tell what it was. On the mash potatoes for one of the sides, they put 1 ladle of gravy on top, not separately as I have also received, plus the biscuits were hard as a rock, but the birds enjoyed them.

I live over 20 miles away and would pick up KFC when I am downtown and I did not want to go back since I had a tough day and just not in the mood, but expected my order to be up to par. I realize help is short but someone needs to take the time to properly train these employees. On an average we would order at least once a month and my car would have the great aroma of fried chicken and still be warm when I got home - not this order

What really ticked me off, was the sign outside said the 12 piece meal was

29.99 but they charged me 39.99 and said "prices went up", change

the sign to reflect the new prices. Picture attached, I am not even sure what the 3rd piece is, since it is so hard and crunchy.

KFC Product and service

On 6 May 2023 I ordered 9 piece chicken, when I got home I found that 2 pieces was just fried bone in batter another 2 pieces very small ans another piece just skin fried in batter. Kfc made me feel as if I am a dog and I refused to eat that crap. I rode 16km to kfc and 16km back home again=32km in total for crap like this. I complained to kfc on Facebook and they said someone will contact me, yet I am still waiting. I took the chicken back to that kfc the next day, manager saw that pathetic looking chicken and agreed with me that it is rubbish. Gave me new chicken and to compensate 2 small packet of chips... Pathetic after I wasted my petrol on 2 trips back and forth 64km in total not to mention my time. KFC Heugh Road Walmer Port Elizabeth worst service ever treating their customers like damn dogs. Kfc Facebook page was also useless in assisting... Worst customer service ever.

Desired outcome: I want to be compensated properly for this pathetic service and I want the staff at KFC Heugh road that was on duty that night disciplined because they need to serve customers quality products, sure they could have noticed what I did.

KFC Customer service and wrong order

I went to KFC in Bismarck North I ordered my meal. It was a 2 piece chicken dinner. And a ma. And cheese bowl meal. I was told to pull around the other vehicle that was waiting I waited about 20 minutes and the gal came out with the order and it was for the car thT was behind about 4 minutes later 2 gals came put. When I looked in my order we didn't get the Mac and cheese bowl meal. I told one of the gals and she told me you paid for the Mac a d cheese bowl not the meal and walked away. So I pulled put of the parking and opened my chicken. Box and I had a 3 piece meal instead of a two

Desired outcome: The gal walked away from me and that made me upset and I drove away. Unprofessional and she needs to be fired

Went to the KFC in Newberry, SC. The guy in front of me who was with my group was asked at the counter "What do you want". I thought that was terrible. I didn't have that problem and placed my order for 8 chicken nuggets' biscuit French fries and a drink, when asked what sauce I wanted I said honey mustard. When I got my order and sat down, there was no...

KFC I picked up 2 orders yesterday may 8, 2023 at lake orion michigan kfc 4:00 pm $23.30.

I was the only customer (drive thru only) For some reason both doors were locked. sign said drive through only. I thought wow I was given the order instantly. No one else was there. Parking lot empty drive through empty. I debated to peek inside but I didn't. When I opened the boxes, the chicken was so dry and looked like it was old. Grease was all on the bottom of the box and the coloring of the chicken was not the light golden color in the pictures. It was the darkest from KFC I have ever seen. We could not slice the biscuit, it was so dry it crumbled. WE had to toss the items and my husband said "never order this again". Sincerely Patricia Stoll Patti. [protected]@att.net [protected]

We live in Lake Orion, Michigan 48360 and are so disappointed

Desired outcome: I would appreciate a response and a refund.

On the 4th of april /23, I purchased a 4 piece combo chicken dinner along with a side of gravy. The meal cost me $13.99 and was all dark meat. This was a surprise as I had hoped for some white meat and I was disappointed. The gravy cost an unreal price of $2.69. Very expensive, I thought. The main reason for my complaint was the taste of the coating on...

On Saturday, May 6, I visit the Corsicana KFC, B/W 4&5 PM. I ordered 5 nuggets. When I returned home, my bag consisted of 5 pieces of reheated chopped, dry chicken, the size of a quarter. I was very disappointed. The young lady obviously knew that was wrong, because she never said anything else to me. For instance, thank you or your order is ready.

Visited the KFC on South 311 in High Point NC. Was so disappointed at the new chicken nuggets that I paid $ for and they did not even have breading like they advertise on their TV commercials In my opinion it was really a rip off. They did not even taste like KFC recipes. Only got half cups of my Side orders! And… had to wait over 30min for my meals with...

KFC KFC Bangor and Brewer, Maine

Tonight I have reached my limit. Once again, my food was missing from the drive through order and didn’t find out until I got home. 12 pc nugget combo with no nuggets. This has happened several times over the past two years in a Bangor and Brewer KFC restaurants. Tonight, it was Bangor that failed. It’s a 50% failure rate. It’s either my meal, or someone else in my family in the same order. Tonight it was me. Last week it was Brewer and my daughter’s meal.

So, I’m done. As I eat cereal for supper instead of nuggets, I’m officially announcing to you that I’m done giving you my money for repeated failures at these two restaurant in Bangor and Brewer, Maine. I’m not going to any of your restaurants anywhere anymore.

I wish you no ill will, but I’ve had enough.

Goodbye

Desired outcome: If you would like to send me about $50 for the food that these two restaurants failed to provide that I paid for, I will consider us even. I still won’t ever go back to your restaurants though.
