KFC

I went there today to pick up supper for the family. The wait was a lot longer than you’d expect for «fast» food (almost 20 minutes), and several people who came in after me got their orders first, despite their orders being similar or smaller. Staff there just doesn’t seem to have their act together. I don’t eat KFC very often at all, and these guy are doing their best to make sure I never do again.

Worst customer service ever. Took five calls to get a delivery and they hung up in me. When I challenged them on this they said no, it’s you who hung up on us. No wonder this company is going in the toilet.

I’ve yet to have a bad experience from this KFC so that should count for something.
I’ve discovered that their toasted wraps are possibly the greatest chicken wraps I’ve ever tasted and they don’t cost that much. They are that legit. Seriously. Try one. Sure it’s pure salt and pepper but you only go through once so why not have a heart attack while you’re at it. I’m kidding. While on the recommending subject, their chicken bowls are pretty decent too.
Overall KFC is KFC. It’s chicken with incredibly seasoned skin. I find their actual chicken isn’t that great but it’s fast food. Standards in that respect shouldn’t be that high.
The only thing I don’t like about this particular location is the parking. Possibly because I’m a horrible driver. It’s a tiny lot with not much space in between cars. Drive through ftw!

Renovated building is kind of nice if you admire that sort of thing in a fast food joint. I only tried the chicken wrap it was the cheese taco one. I forget the exact name of it and it was only today so bad experience must get blocked so I can save my memories for things that are worth brain space. It was on what they call the streetwise menu. It was the worst chicken wrap I have ever had only because it was all batter the inside was almost hollow? Now I hardly even expect real chicken when ordering this sort of thing but to not even provide identifiable chicken in this wrap is just wrong. Goto MacDonald’s for a chicken wrap at least you can say yeah I got some chicken even if it is not the best quality..

Oh god. Am I really reviewing a KFC? Am I really going to have a first-​to-​review for THIS? I am, my friends. Sadly, I am…
Here’s what you need to know. The building was recently completely renovated and looks quite smashing (for KFC) on the outside. The inside is all grey walls, uncomfortable seating, and even more uncomfortable stares from the staff behind the counters. The food? Well, it is what it is.
So why was I there? There’s this thing called the Double Down. Basically, it’s death in a wrapper made irresistible to meat-​eating men with its use of nothing but bacon, chicken, cheese. About three months ago, my boyfriend demanded the chance to try it at least once. But don’t worry-I’m his insurance beneficiary. I’ve got nothing to lose.
(I kid. Ish.)
Between the two of us, we’ve visited this KFC location seven times in search of the bacon behemoth. Their debit and credit machine was down for several weeks, then they were out of chicken («ummm…what?»), and then they just started saying flat-​out, «No.»
Today? I gave up. Game over, KFC. I’ve avoided enough shameful stares from strangers every time I’ve pulled into your lot. There are only so many pairs of big sunglasses and floppy hats I can use to conceal my identity. I don’t care if I have to make a Double Down at home by my damn self anymore. YOUR HOLD ON US IS BROKEN, KFC.
I feel better now. Except for that poutine I just ate. I hate myself.
