Chicken restriction

I just went to KFC in Woden and since they have once again removed boneless chicken from the menu I asked for 3 peices of breast fillets.

I was told that I could not have this many pieces of chicken. That it was limited to 1 peice per order. Even when I said I’m willing to pay, no dice. It was then explained to me that they can only cook four peices at one time.

I then explained that I live in a odd numbered house and since today is an odd numbered day I should be allowed to have chicken.

Hard times peoplpe…. Hard times indeed.

…or smother them in custard.

Your words, Mutley, “the little guy[‘s]”.

Don’t let life’s shortcomings get you down,change your diet.

Recent University studies have shown that women prefer to kiss men who don’t smoke or eat meat!

When the little guy’s ready it’s time to chuck custard.

That’s hot.

Actually, my diet at the moment emphasises me eating meat and drinking beer ‘as desired’ in order to achieve my objective.

It is in direct confrontation towards my new years eve resolution to not eat so much meat and drink so much beer, but that is the price you pay for genetic engineering I suppose.

just google ‘boy diet’ for further info

Haven’t you meat eaters ever wondered why you suffer from dandruff and premature ejaculation?

I eat plenty of meat, and neither of those things are an issue. You vegetarians are just evolutionary free riders.

Haven’t you meat eaters ever wondered why you suffer from dandruff and premature ejaculation?

Nothing premature about it. When the little guy’s ready it’s time to chuck custard.

Haven’t you meat eaters ever wondered why you suffer from dandruff and premature ejaculation?

And the horse you rode in on…

If your all still interested
Here was the reply from KFC

Thank you for contacting us regarding your experience with our KFC store
in Woden.

At Yum Restaurants International we have a commitment to customer
satisfaction. We appreciate the opportunity you have provided us to
further develop the quality of our product and levels of service to
better represent customer expectations.

As you may already be aware, KFC do have a ‘Set Combinations’ policy in
order to reflect the various proportions of chicken pieces that are cut
from each head of chicken.
To remain consistent with this policy, a typical 3 piece chicken order
will contain, on average, two pieces such as leg, rib, thigh, wing, plus
a breast piece.

The Manager on duty at the time of your visit may be willing to
substitute some of the pieces in a combination that you had ordered, at
his or her discretion, based on the quantity of stock at the time but
they are not bound by our company policy in this respect.

Please accept my sincere apology for any dissatisfaction that this
incident has caused you.

We hope you will remain our valued customer, and will give us another
chance to provide you with the excellent product and superior service
you expect from our company.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to contact us.

Yours sincerely

You’re more worried about that little perve perched up on the Maccas M with his binoculars, aren’t you?

Oh dear

You’re more worried about that little perve perched up on the Maccas M with his binoculars, aren’t you? Come home Jey, all is forgiven.

I don’t mind the smell. It will get annoying after a while though. It mainly bothers me because I actually like KFC (yes I know it’s shite), but I can’t eat it, so it’s rather torturous.

it smells like…. Hickory ?

I hate the smell of KFC

Time to return to Canberra, Jey – that sounds not good.

There’s a KFC about 100m from my house.
The smell often wafts in.
I can also see the Maccas M from my shower at night, this bothers me.

Yeah BB, you have to go up into the mountains a short distance (it’s well signposted) and make a left by the bombed-out camel training school.
There’s a big halo-like KFC sign over what looks like a barn (or former munitions dump). Khouri the owner likes to call himself ‘Joseph’ and takes orders from on top of a donkey which has got all these rosaries strung around its neck. We gave the fried Christians a miss but the chips were just…arse-um!

Terubo, is that the little place on the left as you head towards Islamabad, …….with the golden halo’s?

Danman, have you eaten turducken?? Yuuuuuummmmm. And just one wafer thin mint to finish.

Not to mention all the lazy council workers who eat there.

And those single mothers on welfare have fat kids too.

Now we all know that fast food chains are the instument of the antichrist, employing beelzebubs legion of the damned to bring us concentrated lard that passes as “food”. Or at least thats what Today Tonight told me. It makes our kids too fat (I’ll have 4 fried chickens and a coke), keeps our supermodels too skinny (I’ll have a big mac with no bun, meat, cheese, sauce or pickle please), gives Aussie jobs to migrant workers (can you get a 457 visa to work at maccas?)and uses dodgy builders that rip off Aussie battlers and pensioners.

Then again, I could be wrong…

Bundybear (about 17 comments up): you must be thinking about the famous KFC on the road midway between Islamabad and the Afghan border…Khouri’s Fried Christians.

Similarly, my rant about potato and gravy got canned, despite being pure gold! Gold, I tells you!

I seem to have been moderated for a rude comment about the good people who work at KFC. Based on this, I would imagine you can all connect the dots to arrive at my opinion.

I was in KFC Gungahlin a while ago, and they had run out of chicken. They informed us that we had to wait around 15 minutes for our order, while the new lot was thawed. This was at the same time as KFC were running the ads with the happy-go-lucky delivery drivers (a special breed, who are outnumbered by unicorns 4 to 1) delivering fresh not frozen chicken to KFC. After asking what the deal was, that the chicken was frozen despite the ads saying the chicken came in fresh, “Oh yes, the chicken doesn’t come in frozen, it gets frozen here.”

i dont know why anyone would eat this shite. you might as well inject saturated fat straight into an artery.

Advice on Kingsleys: Don’t go the coleslaw option. Try to picture a sodden piece of chicken amidst the remains of a sopping burger bun, and then trying to eat it.

Kingsley, they seem to be trying for the white trash end of the market, where putting on a bad american accent will get sales.

Absent Diane8:28 am 30 Jan 07

hey sammy – there is no god.. so you do have a choice to not eat meat 🙂

If you do not like the state of retail chicken in the ACT you could always make a Turducken

Can anyone recommend these chicken-filled Kingsley things that I see advertised ceaselessly on TV – the ones with “arse-um” chips?

TAD, I was working then when boneless first came out last year. They were different to the chicken we used on the burgers. Much much smaller, although you’d be surprised seeing the size of the burgers.

They bring most of the stuff around for a few weeks then take it away again, few more months until hot and spicy comes back, I cant wait :D.

But KFC are putting up prices every months now, $7.45 for a regular twister combo, Ill stick with maccas thanks. At least some of the staff have a brain there.

Surely if market forces determined the chicken distribution OCMC…should have gotten as much as he/she could afford.

There are two sides to the equation – demand and supply. Just because you can afford it doesn’t mean you can have it.

Babies, the other, other white meat.

You look a tasty morsel, Sammy!

Chickens, hens etc are quite cute when you get to know them

I’m sure cows are as well. Especially baby cows. Mmmm, veal.

If god didn’t want us to eat animals, he wouldn’t have made them out of meat.

I hope its put you off meat. Chickens, hens etc are quite cute when you get to know them!

Hasdrubahl, KKKKKK -Khoury’s Kosher Kangaroo Kebabs and Kitten Kaftah – yuummmo

What a load of crap. The boneless pieces are just the burger patties.

Well if the sales girly was short of breasts, you should have asked her for a piece of ass instead.

I can’t wait for HFG to reach Australia.

mmm MASHIES! 🙂

oh and don’t get me started on Subway… GRR!

what happened to the genetically engineered boneless chickens?

They’ve all been employed as case-workers for immigration.

I’m pretty sure the wingless chicken myth came out of the rabbit meat they use in Europe.

Sue KFC for being Un-Australian !

These chicken shenanigans all sound very un-Australian.

what happened to the genetically engineered boneless chickens ?

This “maximum of one piece” thing sounds suspiciously like communism to me.

Yeah, i’m pretty sure that was actually the founding principle of communism. But I think it was based around potatoes, rather than fried chicken.

Perhaps this explains the preoccupation with mashies discussed above?

Give the people mashies, then take them away. Give them breast chicken, then take it away, then bring it back, and restrict the supply. It’s all an evil plot.

Sammy: Surely if market forces determined the chicken distribution OCMC, who was willing to pay, should have gotten as much as he/she could afford. This “maximum of one piece” thing sounds suspiciously like communism to me. And what’s KFC’s corporate colour? Red. Coincidence? I think not.

Given that you are probably talking to a current product of the education system, you may have been better served saying:

“Gimmeh 3 bits of chikken, and make sure its the big 1s, bekos the litle 1s r shit”.

Absent Diane4:32 pm 29 Jan 07

mine was 5 day weekend… and my will to live is also suffering… but for me replace mashies with beer and fried chicken with a curry or some mexican and I will be on top of the world.. for at least one hour.

The same thing happened to me at Woden. I got an EXTREME MEAL and asked for an extra piece of chicken and they told me it had to be one of those shitty wing pieces. Whereas if I was to line up again and ask for a single piece of chicken I could’ve got a sweet piece of breast.

LONG LIVE SUBWAY!

seriously though i would kill for a large box of mashies. being back at work after 4 day long weekend is sucking my will to live…

BRING BACK MASHIES

So, if you’d said you wanted to make three separate orders, for you and your two mates, that would’ve been okay? KFC obviously isn’t the place where independent thinkers go to further their careers 😛

Absent Diane4:06 pm 29 Jan 07

i wrote a poem about fried chicken once, it went nothing like this sentence.

blingblingbears4:06 pm 29 Jan 07

wtf? I must say though, all of the times I have come across KFC employees, they are all totally braindead. They always f up every order and never give you serviettes or refresher towels…. now this? its ridiculous! if you want 3 pieces of chicken they should sell it to you! they should do the same if you wanted 30 pieces!

As if they can only cook 4 at a time… what a load…

bah, lies.

I worked there, you can have as many damn pieces as you want is what I was told. You are a paying customer. Still, 3 pieces isn’t much, the people that come in and ask for 21 pieces of breast were always the ones you had to laugh at.

For memory you can cook 6 pieces of breast per lot. Although they may have different racks there now.

Anyhow, you pay the normal price and should get what you asked for.

West_Kambah_4eva4:03 pm 29 Jan 07

You should kill the people and take the chicken. Pretty simple really. Yep, you’re a real dumbass for not just taking that chicken after a series of simple murders. Couldn’t even do that, could you? No, it’s all tooo hard, isn’t it? Yet you find the time to post complaints on the internet. Your priorities are ass-backwards.

Perhaps you missed the lesson at school where it was explained how market forces determine fried chicken distribution.

It was covered the same day that “i before e except after c” was covered.
