    I love KFC chicken, but it's gotten so expensive I can't afford it anymore. The prices have gone sky high. It's pitiful.
  • @Burke76
    Their prices are outrageous now

    I haven't been to the local KFC for years because the employees had a bad attitude.

    I have nothing against KFC's food, or staff, except that one time they didn't provide napkins or utensils with a drive-thru pickup order -- we drove to a park where we planned on eating at a picnic table. Uh, hey, KFC, how were we supposed to eat mashed potatoes and gravy without any utensils? Etc. That was a long time ago and I'm still ticked about it today. 😆
  • KFC is overpriced.. Small pieces of chicken 🐔 for a lot of money 💰.. And KFC lost it years ago.
  • Used to love KFC years ago. Now you get small chicken at a higher price. That's if you're lucky if they have chicken available.
  • I have been in the store, ordered at the counter, paid. Then the employee turns around in place and says I’m sorry, we don’t have any chicken. Well then give me my money back, and then they say oh no I can’t do that. I recently went on yelp, and the same scam is still being played at all the different locations in town.

    I am a quality control trainer for a government agency and I always use the comparison of the consistency of products being sold between McDonalds and KFC as an example. I have worked from the east coast to the west coast and can expect the exact same, consistent product at McDonalds whereas KFC will vary at the different restaurants; consistency is the key. McDonald's a more sustainable business model.

    Getting rid of the potatoe wedges was yall nail in the coffin

    Being that spice prices are very high, it stands to reason that the owners would want to slowly reduce the spice content to cut costs and maximize their profits - especially after the Colonel had passed away. KFC back in the 50's and 60's really did have a unique wonderful flavor - I'm 77 now and still remember it well . ,

    No one MAKES any Fast Food worker accept a job at FF restaurant. You know what they are offering in compensation, if it ain’t enough DON”T accept position.

    As a kid I loved KFC original recipe, because that's all they had. Then in my teens I tried Church's, with a jalapeño. Delicious! Then in my 40s I tried Popeye's. WOWEEEEE! That place stole my chicken heart. I haven't been to any other chicken joint since, and I doubt I will, unless a Raising Cane's shows up nearby.
  • @knuclear200x
    KFC's biggest draw is their tender chewy original recipe that other fried chicken restaurants just dont do. Everyone wants theirs to be some hard crispy thing that can't leave the bone
