Wow KFC has gone downhill

In Aus, every KFC is staffed by people that appear to want to kill themselves. It is stark contrast to the other fastfood chains where the staff are at least happy (enouhg).
My local KFC is crap even by KFC's standards. I used to love KFC, I hate it now too. I don't think KFC in general has gotten worse, I think my taste in food has matured.
Then again, I'm always a sucker for Hungry Jack's.
EDIT: Oh, and KFC is killer expensive now too. Seriously, it's bloody ridiculous.

Well when I went to a BK in Maritnqe (SP i know, not sure how to spell it. The french colony island!) It rally seemed like they cooked the food as opposed to the microwave they do everywhere else. However, the type of food just dosnt taste as good without the grease.
KFC here is awesome. Hungry Jack's here, however... ek.
Anyway, their chicken strips are friggen awesome.

their are many posts in this topic that discribe things about KFC i have never experienced eating there like burnt fries and dry chicken (the chicken is always tender all the time) maybe cause i live in the uk and the food standards are much higher than america or something (like different persevatives, better staff training, different methods, better quality chicken) i dunno.
Question - When you found that you were dissatisfied with the quality of your food did you complain?
I guarantee that if I buy fast food I open the paper bag they hand me and check everything is hot and looks OK and if it doesn't then back it goes (this is why I don't use drive thru...kitchen spaces in KFC are open to view if you are inside the shop. I never complain about food if I can't see the preparation area).
Thing is, you could walk in to your local supermarket and buy some pretty nice fresh or frozen coated chicken, take it home and cook it yourself and pay a lot less. If I pay a premium for someone else to cook food for me it had better be right or replaced or refunded.
And yes, right now I could go for a spicy zinger tower burger (which they probably don't do any more) and some popcorn chicken. And maybe some coleslaw. And some corn. And fries. Fifty percent of my household have been known to scarf their way through a whole bucket all by themselves if given the chance (I don't eat chicken on the bone...so have never attempted that feat).

2 words: Boneless, box. Get a few friends to split the cost and ************ you have got one tasty meal.
I havent heard much good news from American fast food chains. Mostly i hear that its more about quantity, not necessarily taste (my sis went over there recently and said Maccas and KFC in particular taste better over here).blalien said:
I actually work at KFC in Sydney, and I really like it. Most of the stuff is pretty good, apart from chips and nuggets. Theyre just hopeless.
So maybe its just your KFC that has badly breaded chicken and stuff, but the only way you can get good chips is if you get them in a rush, or ask for fresh ones.
PS Guiness tastes 20 times better over in Ireland.
KFC in Poland kicks ass, my second favorite fast food after Subway.
It's probably just your KFC has some really godawful people responsible for cooking.

Indeed, UK KFC quality is very good, price sucks though =( My nearest KFC is in the next city @_@Srcruls said:id say your local is crap. but maybe its american kfcs that are bad.
In britain the KFC's are fantastic.... but still a rip off on price.
I hope the double down comes here. They'd be campagning outside a KFC and id walk out with 4 of them
One thing about KFC which I am not happy about is that here in Japan, you pay the same price for a meal as in any other country but you only get about eight chips, and I MEAN that literally! I went there recently expecting a good ol' KFC "box o' chips" and I got a small paper bag with less than ten chips in it. I should have just flicked my 700 yen at passing cars! I would have gotten a better meal in the clink!
