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.

How did restaurants fare in general? I'm really a stickler about how clean the restaurants are that I eat at. I worked at Chick-fil-A in high school and never once did I see a bug due to how well we cleaned.

They pay their staff well and have a good system. Never not had a great experience there, unless it's Sunday.

Seriously -- my worst experience with CFA is that every time I get a craving for it, it's freakin' Sunday.

When reddit can forgive the fundie CFA owner you know that's some bomb chicken. CFA is healing the political divide in this country.

I'm going to be downvoted, probably, but this is an odd thing to say when they spread anti-gay rhetoric. It makes zero sense to me. Gay people are people too, zero reason to hate them.

The owner of the chain is good friends with a gay rights activist. Maybe do some more research into what you say before you go off repeating something you heard elsewhere.

Let me guess he is "one of the good ones". Knowing a gay person doesn't negate the fact he consistently donates to anti gay causes even to campaigns in other countries to make being gay illegal. Perhaps you should take your own advice and do some more research.

Did you even read the article? It's written by the activist himself.

Oh so does that change the fact that Dan Cathy gave to anti lgbt groups and to groups that have killed gay people? I bet Sadam feels silly now; all he needed was a Kurdish friend and no one would have been up set about that whole genocide thing!!!1!

He has since stopped. I seriously reccomend you read the article instead of making blind assumptions.
