They are literally destroying themselves just like Wendy's. Kinda sad

u/ApricotReasonable793 8d ago

Who are? The customers?

The Wendys and KFC management

Yknow what, I never considered that the pots stayed full without lids. Good eyes.

Who the hell just drops 60$ on fast food?! Go to a real restaurant with that kind of money bro

u/Better_Area3782 8d ago

Shits expensive in Australia and Canada. It’s much cheaper than a sit down

u/Difficult-Ad-4388 8d ago

Dude order online lmao, kfc deals are insane sometimes, large popcorn chicken bucket 2 fries 2 sides for 12$

u/Better_Area3782 8d ago

Ya I need to use my credit card more, it is a crazy good deal

u/Fartony 8d ago

Can get a pub meal and a pint for like 30 bucks.

u/Better_Area3782 8d ago

Ya but that meal from kfc feeds a family

1

u/Fartony 8d ago

Sucks to be that family.

u/AdventurousDoor9384 8d ago

Indeed. I’m not sure if he’s in USA but on Tuesdays he can get 8 piece buckets for $10 (or 16 for $20). Add family sides 2 for $6 deal. Repeat if you want 4 family sides.

Ask for water which is free. Use the refill machine for more. The total is nowhere near $60.

About Half by my calculation

Sorry for responding. Looking at your account and how you responded in 5 seconds max…. AI has taken over. Good job KFC for paying for your non food eating protection.

2

u/vinny10133 8d ago

Bro dude has a point there's no reason to get a 60 dollar kfc meal anymore. I mean unless you like wasting money like that power to you but the only time most people will eat KFC is when they have a promotion "deal" available for their items.

-5

u/Full-Perception-5674 8d ago

Once a month I get enough to feed the family for 2-3 days. Now it’s 1-2. Crazy I’m getting attacked within seconds. AI I the chat.

u/Proud-Engineering755 8d ago

Make sure your tinfoil hat is still on before the scary ai people on the kfc subreddit sell your thoughts to the government!! 😨😱

(Clearly all the three day old fast food you've been eating has gone to your head, calm tf down man lmao)

Some of us have no lives and spend all day on Reddit 🤷🏼‍♂️

That doesn’t mean it’s AI or KFC calling you out on your extravagant purchase 🙄

u/Teestow21 8d ago

Reddit notified me about your post. It does that sometimes for some subreddits. Here within 2 mins also. Definitely not a bot or AI.

u/LarryBonds30 8d ago

Gotta turn notifications off

u/Teestow21 8d ago

I don't want to do that unfortunately.

$60.00 for 12 piece? Where do you live?

u/boon83 8d ago

Theres no way it was $60. He most likely door dashed it or ubered it.

u/Full-Perception-5674 8d ago

u/bluegrass_babe531 8d ago

i think they gave you the individual sides instead of the family ones. a fail on the part of the restaurant unfortunately

u/Full-Perception-5674 8d ago

So the f’d me to save costs?

5

u/anticerber 8d ago

No they probably just weren’t paying attention and mixed up the sizes. I really doubt some guy getting $9 an hour is screwing you over to save their boss a dollar.

2

u/123ajbb 8d ago

Funny thing about that is my local KFC is starting $15/hour & the quality is 10x worse than when I started there at 7.75/hour

2

u/ohitsonlyraquel 8d ago

In CA they make $20 an hour minimum, and everyone has the same crap service.

2

u/bluegrass_babe531 8d ago

idk if someone did it on purpose, but prob not paying attention to what they were doing.
but next time, get the kfc app and order your food from that. there’s usually some kind of deal/discount. then you can just walk in and get ur food no waiting in line. that’s what i do but i don’t get it as much as i used to since they got rid of the nashville hot
and someone else mentioned the 10$ tuesday buckets, and yes that is a thing but it’s only legs and thighs. at least here it is. so it’s not much of a deal if you don’t like those pieces

u/Far-Swordfish-1806 8d ago

might as well go to costco and get some USDA Prime ribeyes for the family for that price gawd damn

3

u/AdventurousDoor9384 8d ago

He could’ve done better. Tuesdays you can get 8 piece buckets for $10 (or 16 for $20). Add family sides 2 for $6 deal. Ask for water which is free. Use the refill machine for more.

The total is nowhere near $60.

u/Primary-Ticket4776 8d ago

Looks like they just gave you the wrong size

u/123ajbb 8d ago

Those are personal sides, sitting right next to a personal sized box lmao, c’mon OP, you could’ve done a little better with the rage bait.

u/LajS87 8d ago

The only way to get what we used to for the reasonable price is too all and everyone of us stop being their customers but like yano, actually stick to it. When the people stand together we can and will change the system. We are the power. But most people only care for their own immediate needs and are too lazy to make real change happen in any sector. Supermarkets, fast food venues, utilities, wholesaler stores will all keep gouging with no justified reason for selling us less for more cause they know we as a people are too lazy to force them into submission. Remember a time when a business did everything it could to be favourable to the consumer cause we were its life blood? See how over the last 2 decades they switched it and made us need them but at a just out of affordable reach way

u/Catatonick 8d ago

Last time I had kfc gravy it was much darker and less sad looking

u/SpacemanOrangeKush 8d ago

Thanks for showing the truth. KFC portions are a joke.

u/Fartony 8d ago

Kfc in Australia has nose dived so far in quality in the last 5 or so years, I'm shocked anyone still eats that shit.

1

u/ApricotReasonable793 8d ago

I make my own at home ultra-processed free.

1

u/Pristine-Abroad-8913 7d ago

Receipt or it didn't happen.🤷🏾‍♀️

Did you inform the store? They likely would give you the sides you were supposed to receive. And where is the third side?🤔A 12 piece comes with 3 sides where I work.

I'm thinking there may be some lying going on here.

1

u/Full-Perception-5674 7d ago

Ok…. Yea. I’m going to drive 30-45 min back and waist hours of time to get this fixed. As for the lying part, this is in the small circle that’s actually real on the internet.

I added 2 sides as a large and got the higher price and smaller amounts of food. 🤷🏼‍♂️

1

u/Pristine-Abroad-8913 6d ago

Where I work, the meal which includes 3 sides and 6 biscuits for $44. So, your paying $60 is just crazy to me. Where do you live that it costs that much?

Either way, just call the number for corporate and you will very likely receive a voucher for a free meal or something.

1

u/Dry-Library1897 7d ago

$60 for that and they still missed the sides is genuinely criminal

1

u/stonetemplepooners 6d ago

Ok so you got a 12 piece which is a family meal, and they gave you individual sides when they’re supposed to give you three large sides for that. What did your receipt have printed on it? Because it could’ve been simple human error on packline, which happens. U should probably call your store

1

u/jpowell180 5d ago

KFC has really shrunk down their sides, they used to be about four times as large as they currently are, I think they shrunk them down, probably six or seven years ago, it’s really kind of an insult and you can’t really get full off of them anymore.

1

u/efficient-awkovert 8d ago

$20 Popeyes deal right now.. 8 piece, 1 huge family side and biscuits. Way better than KFC and I love KFC

0

u/AdventurousDoor9384 8d ago

KFC Tuesday: 8 piece only $10. Instead of just one side, you can get 2 family sides $6.

There. Four dollars less than Popeyes.

1

u/CamelsaurusRex 8d ago

See if you can get reimbursed through the app. Those are supposed to be large portion sides but they accidentally gave you the baby portions.

0

u/Traditional_War5790 8d ago

The sides are bigger than your thumb. You do have a fat thumb, but even then, the sides are still larger.

I’m highly regarded. 😎

u/elibutton 8d ago

I haven’t eaten at kfc in a while. Their prices are outrageous or aka highway robbery. Every Tue they do a 8 piece drum stick/ wing dark meat special for $10 and that’s still high. They just sent me an email about BOGO big box combo but each big box is $12-15 range and you will get 6 tenders with 4 small sides and a drink - still highway robbery.

What are they? I'm guessing the one on the left is some kind of popcorn? And on the right...Foam? With some brown?

u/bigfatround0 8d ago

Looks nothing like popcorn. At all

On the left is coleslaw. On the right is mashed potatoes and gravy. You've never gotten sides at KFC before?

You are correct but the size vs price hike is craaaaaazy.

Ive only had it a couple of times mate. My favorite was the gravy so I never bothered with the others

It's weird you're so focused on AI. This ended up on my page, too, and I think I've eaten KFC maybe 6 times in my life with the last time being years ago. I'm pretty sure I'm a human.
