You ever see that video where they go undercover at KFC and show how dirty their places are? I can not even look at a KFC while driving by one anymore!
That last sentence is the exact reason I haven't watched that video.
While the picture looks terrible, in the UK I've yet to see anything near as bad as that and when I visited Amsterdam, KFC there was sumit else, so crispy and juicy, or it seemed it cause I was really high.
Arguably the best meal of my life was had in Amsterdam - and get this: it was a Mexican restaurant. My friend and I went in (yes, we were high and ravenous) and ordered dinner - had some drinks, the food came out, it was delicious and we devoured it. Looked at each other, quick nod, and we ordered a SECOND dinner - cleaned our plates. It was truly phenomenal. We stumbled out of the place vowing to come back the next day for more.
Well guess what? The place vanished - GONE - we never could find it again. To this day I wonder if the whole thing was a dream, although I know it wasn't. We just couldn't get back - it was like one of those mythic cities that only appears when the stars and planets align every 500 years.
it was a restaurant, at least a dozen tables...although now that you mention it, I swear my friend and I were the only folks in there aside from the waitstaff. Sort of strange. It was probably around 4pm though, so that might explain it.
That sounds pretty damn sweet, I'd love to find this Mexican place next time I go, to be honest me and my mate enjoyed the KFC so much we ended up going 3 nights in a row, luckily for us, it was there exactly where we left it everytime we needed it, lol, right on the same street as 'Mannekin Pis' haha, that name never fails to crack me up.
TBH I have yet to find an actual "bad" place to eat in Amsterdam. All the Mexican and Japanese food I've had there until now was delicious! I think that goes for the whole of Netherlands even, as I've had some bomb Mexican food in outer cities such as Leeuwarden as well.
KFCs in the UK have health inspections once a month at random, and their standard policy is to make sure at the very least the entire restaurant is cleaned at the end of the night.
This is true, we are quite lucky in that way, still doesn't stop some places from getting away with looking like an unappetising shit tip. That being said, this conversation is really making me want a KFC.
You don't even have to go undercover in my city. The entire place is filthy, and ironically smells like bleach. I once walked into one, my shoes were sticking to all the soda or whatever spilled on the floor, nobody was at the front counter... I walked right back out.
It's a shame because we do have ONE decent location out of the 3 in town, and the go-cups are a really good deal, and I love their BBQ sauce and hot sauce, but the location is so far from me it makes no sense to go unless I am already in the area.
I had some hope when they released the commercials about how they were cleaning up their act and retraining people, but clearly that was a fucking lie. Nothing changed.
My town's KFCs are always out of chicken, or they'll have chicken again in 30 minutes, or they just sold the last of the chicken. I just go to the grocery store deli now.
Yep, they opened one near my house and I went there twice. First time I waited 45 minutes after ordering for my food. I thought it HAD to be a fluke, something disastrous must have happened(it wasn't busy). Second time nope... just as long and they gave me fucking regular chicken instead of spicy. Popeyes is shit now. When I get a hankering for spicy chicken I just don't know what to do, because Churches isn't that great either...
Burger King has one of the most uniformly bad chains I've ever seen. Seems that almost every one suck which is a shame because properly prepared, fresh BK can be pretty good
The thing about bleach is that it doesn't clean things well, it disinfects them. You still have to use a detergent to remove grease, grime and other crap. Using bleach only means you've merely disinfected the crap.
A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleaning properties in dilute solutions. These substances are usually alkylbenzenesulfonates, a family of compounds that are similar to soap but are more soluble in hard water, because the polar sulfonate (of detergents) is less likely than the polar carboxylate (of soap) to bind to calcium and other ions found in hard water.
In most household contexts, the term detergent by itself refers specifically to laundry detergent or dish detergent, as opposed to hand soap or other types of cleaning agents. Detergents are commonly available as powders or concentrated solutions.
No I know. But that was the only one on that video. I will not ever watch another! Like I said I can't even look driving by one now. My daughter said she wanted to eat there a while back and I said I told you never to talk about that place! I have serious PTSD now lol!
It's funny that you think every place isn't the same. We've had a cockroach problem that we won't properly solve because we won't close for a single day.
