Ate at KFC today

[dryheat]

And it will the last time I set foot in one. The place was so filthy I googled, "what's wrong with KFC". It's a chain that is declining. Kind of like Burger King did when the Brit outfit took them over and ran it by remote control.
My alarms were going off when my foot got stuck to the gunk on the floor while ordering. I nearly walked out then. The food came and we sat down. The more I saw the worse it got. It got way worse. I'm going to write letters.

You need to write to the right person. KFC's are franchised operations and the company also owns Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. If your local KFC has problems it is likely because of the Franchisee owner. A lot of them have been passed down to heirs and are not as well run now as they once were.

true. if enough people complain they will pull his franchise.

I have three in my area and two of them are as you described the third one is immaculate. All the employees are clean and friendly. If the order takes a little longer than it should they always give something free. Of course the third one is almost always busy and the other two you can walk right in with no waiting.

About a month ago we went to one and were informed they were closing so their menu was drastically shortened and they didn't have what we wanted so we left.

There was only one left in my area (the whole county). It has closed but while it was open it was extremely clean and kept friendly personel. Perhaps the rent was too high? Popeye's chicken couldn't make it here either. This is a county full of $, overpopulation and tourism too. All we have now is Chick-fil-a, Zaxby's and the deli at Walmart. I miss the chicken pot pies at KFC.

3G Capital owns Burger King. Offices in NYC and Rio de Janeiro. No mention of Britain at all. They own Heinz, Kraft, Tim Horton's(over priced coffee and tiny dough nuts) and Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen.
KFC(where the secret ingredient is salt) hasn't been right since The Colonel died in 1980.

The Brits had Burger King years ago. I knew someone else took them over and revamped the chain.

Stayed at a Motel 6 in Gunnison Colorado one summer. It boasted a "buffet breakfast" I got up the next morning and the breakfast was set out on several cafeteria tables with dirty table cloths. Number 10 cans of strawberry jelly, peanut butter, margarine and orange marmalade with butter knives sticking out of them comprised the condiments. Loafs of store bread still in the wrapper were set out for toast. The whole place was dirty. Manager was not American. I will leave that last sentence to stimulate conversation. Cheers!

I sent in a "review" of my dining experience at KFC a week ago. I was required to give some personal information, which I was happy to do. I got a reply apologizing to me for my experience which, "does not reflect their cleanliness expectations"(I'm paraphrasing here since I'll have to dig up the post). It was signed by someone with an Indian sounding name.
That takes some guts. It could have been signed by Bob Smith, you know, the same Bob you talk to in India when you have computer problems.

never had hygiene issues with them in my area..food is good, place is clean and attendants are friendly.
maybe you should talk to the management.

Here in Phoenix, LFC has merged with other s like Taco Bell, and Long John Silvers. Last time my wife and I went into one, we had a mixed meal, Tacos, burritos, cole slaw and baked beans. When I ordered the pint of cole slaw, the girl asked me "Is that the big one or the little one?".

they are all owned by PepsiCo IIRC,

lots of combo places in this area (chicken fish and taco all from one building)

[SloopJohnB]

Franchises are only as good as the owner/manager AND the corporation's quality control/oversight. Sounds like KFC needs a bit of work in that area.

Always felt that Americans make the best fried chicken, but not KFC.

My Family will not eat at KFC, Long John Silvers, Taco Bell or Pizza Hut. Won't eat at Burger King any longer either. Church's Chicken is better. Purina People Chow (Jack in the Box) is good too. The only fast food place within 30 miles of us is Mc Donalds and it is 13 miles away. We live on the Long Beach Peninsula in WA, being a tourist trap. the local burger place is very expensive for my family of 3 Bacon Cheese burgers with Fries and a Small drink is a $60 meal out on a patio covered over with Tarps.
