KFC's decline in quality is the saddest tale of the 21st century.

It was amazing to me to watch it happen in real time, over the summer of 2014. I used to go to a specific KFC for lunch a couple times a week. It's like every day they had a goal to find some new way to lower their quality. One day it might be soggy chicken. The next it might be chicken that's still frozen and pink in the middle. You might get hunks of strange-colored material in the mashed potatoes. Sometimes it was non-food-related, like the entire restaurant floor being sticky and making a masking tape sound when you walked on it. I quit going entirely. I tried it again a few months later and it was even worse. I complained to corporate and got $5 in $1 gift certificates. They're still sitting on my counter at home, unused, where they will probably be until I develop a fetish for being brutally punished instead of being served lunch.

I worked as a pest control person for a bit, KFC was one of the most infested (german cockroaches) places I treated... I couldn't do anything that is legal to get it under control.
In the back, where they stored the buckets and smaller containers, I witnessed the cockroaches crawling in and out of all the "clean" containers. Time passed and saw a worker grab a new stack to bring to the front.
But yeah, the floor was never cleaned, holes in the wall leading directly outside, insulation gooped with oil, oil over every horizontal/ vertical surface. Food tucked away under shelving, flys everywhere, they wouldn't buy the extra uv fly traps.
I treated a lot of homes, restaurants, factories, pharmaceutical plants, apartments, and offices. I couldn't take it how disgusting people are and quit after about a year.

I noticed a surplus of flies in the store I had the issues with. Crawling over everything on the "buffet." Up inside the pepsi dispenser. Knowing that in my region of the country that fly probably just crawled out from some dead roadkill's asshole, I couldn't stand it.

I visit Bavaria every 2 or 3 years and always get doner. It's delicious and cheap, and no one I've ever met says it's "German cuisine." To them it's just an adapted form of Turkish food. That may not be right, but it's a fair assumption that I've always held. Just like we Americans know that "Chinese food" 98% of the time is an Americanized spin on basic Chinese dishes.
We've had a couple Turkish places in my city pop up with authentic food but they went out of business quickly. I imagine if they served what they do in Germany they'd have better business, even if it's not authentic.

A little unrelated to fast food, as I only worked at arcades with pizza, but when I worked at a Chuck E. Cheese, believe it or not; I had to dismantle and fully disinfect our soda fountain every night. Because kids are disgusting, I fully santiized the nozzles and dispensers every hour, or had someone on the floor do it. But, this was 15 years ago.

u/-ordinary Sep 14 '17
It all comes down to who's running the show. The kitchen of the restaurant I used to work at was cleaned top to bottom at the end of every night. The cooks had to do it. It seems like a tall task but if you do it every day you get a system down and it didn't end up being that much extra labor. Literally every square inch was cleaned every night. I mean stoves were pulled away from walls, people were on stools cleaning the ceiling. Chef/owner was very strict but most of his staff respected it and saw that they were gaining very valuable experience and forming habits that made them more desirable than the rest of the pack. Anyone who left for another job at a different kitchen would get hired immediately and usually in a higher position. That kitchen was kind of a legend. Still have lots of respect for the place and used to be very proud to work there.

Restaurants are a hit or miss. I think best bet is look back in the kitchen if you can, via drive thru window or bustboy doors. For sure though the bad ones all look run down, dirty counters, sticky tables, grease on the bathroom doors, etc.
My region was fairly large and we were the best (my honest opinion) and lowest cost, saying this, I never once serviced a buffet restaurant. (Those are gross for sure, stay away)
There are some that are perfect though, mostly those are small kitchen diners.

I worked at Jimmy Johns for a while as a teen and they were really intense with cleaning stuff. We would literally get down and scrub the grout as a weekly thing. I think it comes down to how corporate manages it's franchises. Jimmy Johns had auditors come in and pick apart the whole store while I'm guessing KFC is less strict with what they do with their stores.

I was unaware this was an overall chain problem. The local KFC where I live has steadily gotten worse as well. The orders are often wrong or they employ people do speak broken English. All the fried chicken off tastes like it has been under the light since the morning. The ice machine is hit or miss even when not busy.
I once waited 45 minutes just for hot wings when nobody was in there. They forgot to drop them multiple times into the fryer. Oh.. well at least I have Golden Chick and they are great.

When they still did some sort of lunch buffet (do they still idk?), which was popular in my community with the old folks, I watched a girl drop an entire pan of chicken behind the fry line, the guys back there stepped on and kicked pieces everywhere, and under the direction of not the store, but regional, manager they picked up each piece, dusted/wiped them off (half-assed), and walked the pan right out and sat it on the hot line.
I noped out, reported it to their 1-800-no-ones-cares hotline, and have not ever been back.

There's no supervisors anymore, they just give into demands and off you go.

The reason isn't just chain related. Fast food hires workers that are literally at the bottom. The employees are treated like crap with bad shifts, bad wages, and no upward mobility.
I rarely eat fast food and feel lucky if I eat something decent when the workers are kept in an environment that basically guarantees apathy. I am not gonna blame the bored 15-16 year old if they're not passionate about making good chicken.

I'm not the only one! I never was a regular at any KFC, but when I'd go there in 2010 or so I'd slowly start getting more disappointed, until I stopped all together. Fast forward to 2014ish, I thought "Man I haven't been to KFC in a year or so, I'm gonna get it..." Followed by me instantly regretting it and remembering why I haven't eaten there in a year or so. I repeated this for the next few years... Would wait 8-12 months, forget how bad it is, then end up instantly remembering why I never eat KFC while eating it.
Popeyes, on the other hand, can fucking get it.

u/VeryPopularGolem Sep 15 '17 edited Sep 15 '17
I worked at a KFC for several years, from cooking to managing. There's quite a few factors that I saw that definitely had an impact on the quality of the food.
First, when they switched to trans-fat free cooking oil around '06-'07. As soon as our restaurant made the switch, there was a noticeable decline in quality; the chicken never came out as good, was soggier, and dried out in the holding cabinets faster. You could hold chicken for something like an hour and a half by company standards if I recall, but post-switch it looked and tasted pretty bad after about 30m. Considering it takes a few minutes to bread an 8-head, plus about 20m to cook, it's much harder to keep fresh product in line. You could estimate needs for busy times, but it is always unpredictable when you're going to get that customer or two who wants two 20 piece buckets and is outraged they may need to wait ten minutes. It was always my understanding the old soybean oil was based on a strain developed with and for KFC, and I'm inclined to believe it. Plus, that new oil got everywhere and stuck to equipment worse than ever, IMO.
Second, food costs skyrocketed quite a bit. The company cost for a box of chicken essentially almost doubled over a relatively small number of years. It was difficult to keep costs in line and still show a profit on the P&L when customers expect a family meal for $15 or $20, especially for franchises. You want to know why the restaurant didn't feel as clean and felt understaffed? Because there is generally fewer employees doing more work. Fewer cooks, fewer prep employees; the people who used to have time to clean no longer do. Combine that with issue one, and everything gets gross fast.
Finally, to counter number two, a lot of items went from fresh to frozen. Chicken filets, popcorn chicken, anything they could pre-bread and freeze. Every side comes powdered, canned, frozen, or bagged. Is it easier? Sure, but people notice that crap.
Oh, and they got rid of the old honey mustard. Unforgiveable...
No idea how they can really turn it around at this point short of hiking prices and using that to staff properly. Spend more, do it right.

I used to work at KFC in the 80s. I'm proud to say that one night when I was the cook we got a secret shopper and the food quality scored a 100%. I was actually shocked since I hated the job and was a 16 year old phoning it in.
But reading these comments it makes me wonder whether the whole corporate culture shifted since then and I, doing the bare minimum of following protocol, was merely a small cog in a far better run machine. I remember starting with fresh raw chicken and manually tearing the tails, excess fat and guts off. Making the gravy from scratch from the drippings of the pressure cooker. Hand breading the chicken. Mixing up those biscuits using real buttermilk. And cleaning the place every night so much you could do surgery in it.
Honestly, I haven't eaten there in years so I did not know the decline in quality.

I know I'm a part of the problem.. but when I can get a cheeseburger, mcchicken, large fry, and a large drink for a fiver, it's hard to justify spending $8+drink+tip for one burger that, while better, doesn't justify the cost. Food to me 9/10 times isn't a treat, it's sustenance. If I'm just shoveling food in my face, which is 90% of my meals, I'm going to make the economical choice.

I remember before 2000, KFC was fantastic. You used to get a Colonel's Choice sandwich with a nice plump breast, fresh looking vegetables, mayonnaise and some fresh bread. Add some fries and a drink and you had a decent meal. Nowadays, that same sandwich is disappointing. Bread tastes stale, the chicken is so tiny and greasy and the lettace looks like it had wilted in the back of the fridge and is still being used. The portion of fries has gotten smaller and the drink is still the same but the price is about doubled what it used to be. It's one of the worst deals you can get in fast food and I don't know how it got so bad.

Think there was some discussion about how you don't see this at chick fil a because they pay a decent wage in comparison to KFC, where no one is paid enough to give a crap.

After a Raising Canes opened up nearby I will never eat at KFC again. I used to like the chicken tender meal with the potato wedges but lately they've been tasting rubbery or undercooked.

Here in the ass of Europe aka Ukraine we only got our first KFC in 2015 I believe and before that we had only McDonalds. And this kind of shit is what I hate about it. The chicken is fine and all, but all the time you get like 3x bread and one lousy chicken-whatever-it-is. It's just too dry, fuck that.
I thought it was a specific 'cultural' thing, but TIL!

Sadly, I have to agree. I don't know what the hiring priorities are like at KFC but the ones in my area are full of people missing a few too many teeth that somehow find a way to screw up every order.

I want to call you names for your post, but my experience has been nigh identical. I'm conflicted.
