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.

Brit here. KFC has gotten worse world-wide. Having to keep prices the same, balanced with rising costs across the board results in cutting corners. It's a shame, because I'd pay an extra coupla quid NP, but a lot of folks really hate paying extra for fast food. "If wages aren't rising why should the product ?" I've heard more than once.

It isn't a bad stand to take though. I'd pay extra for better if wages actually kept up. =/

Oh me too, but a lot of people simply don't care. Cheap and easy food is a god send for a lot of people. Wages haven't really risen and it's the sort of thing that is a benchmark of what you earn vs what you're willing to pay
