Angry fast-food fans out of cluck
®
KFC is trying to claw back some business by reopening 70% of stores with a “limited menu”.
But angry food lovers aren’t happy that many of their favourite dishes are still missing.
A lot of the stores that are open have limited offerings and shortened hours and hungry chicken fans are disappointed.
Less than impressed customers have reported outlets with no popcorn chicken, burritos, gravy, beans, sweetcorn, tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, fruit juice and water.
Crowds fought for the few remaining southern-coated chicken pieces on sale in the UK. Hundreds of branches were left with no chicken after an embarrassing failure with their new delivery firm DHL.
Imrana Khan, 43, out for an afternoon snack with sister Faiza, 41, in west London said: “It didn’t feel like KFC today. I was very angry with them. I was like: ‘Do you even have anything?’”
Air hostess Fatima Zulqaf, 28, was left furious after not being able to take her mum’s favourite snack, sweetcorn, to her in hospital.
Frustrated customers have urged the firm to keep shops shut until they’re fully stocked.
In a statement KFC said: “Deliveries are winging their way around the country right now.”
Meanwhile a cheeky chicken entrepreneur has cashed in on the KFC crisis by selling £10 bargain buckets for £100 a pop on Facebook.
Dad-of-one Martin Godden, 30, from Brighton in East Sussex, posted adverts for “rare 10-piece bargain buckets” at a tidy 1,000% mark up.
