Kentucky Fried Chicken

Was the usual KFC food, went for the buffet as I had a hungry teenager to feed.  The food was the same as at other KFCs closer to home (we were travelling) but service left a bit to be desired.  Slow to replace empty bins on the buffet, had to ask several times to get some biscuits out, never did refill one of the chicken, so my son ate the other style (not his favorite).  Either short staffed, or poorly staffed for the lunch rush, everything we asked for was, "I'll get it as soon as I can."

It generally takes about 6 months for me to lose my memory and some self destructive behavior buried deep inside my brain's core triggers some neurons that tells my appetite; " Hey your hungry, you need some KFC!". And so the adventure begins.  Before entering the store, the first thing, Why, the hell is the parking lot and sidewalk so greasy?  Does the fryers emit grease into the air? Am I inhaling vegetable oil?  Should the EPA be involved in this review? Probably...  As I'm opening the front door I am also greeted by the smoking cook.  Awesome, now I am comforted by the thought of some sort of employee code of conduct rule being half-assed followed.  Just maybe, I won't find a cigarette butt in my cole slaw.  Ok, heroin addict shooting up in the bathroom- check, all in order here let's eat.  I know the secret recipe is injecting grease at extremely high pressures into the chicken and my insurance sucks, so a heart attack would be bad today.  I think I'll do the extra crispy.  After several explanations and pointing at pictures, I got my order in. While paying, the cashier didn't find my remark about 90 days same as cash funny or didn't understand, I would assume the later.  I quickly decided it may be safer to take my food home and eat it.  the chicken could use some grease draining time anyways.  I gathered up all my condiments to smear on all the food to make it edible.  And then they tell me thanks please come back. Holy shit. Come back 2 dollars for a drink? Come back? Are you serious...  Then I remember this poor bastard is making 6 bucks an hour.  So then I go home and eat a ten dollar meal.   What can I say, It sucks.  But it is a viable alternative to our local Applebee's and I will probably come back because Applebee's has crackhead employees too and I would rather see the cook smoking outside than to have some other cook jerking his dong on my steak at Applebee's.

This KFC is probably the worst one I've been to. I've never really noticed a difference in the food other than the sandwiches are sloppily slapped together, but the chicken itself is ok. The thing that I hate the most is to wait for my food. They have empirically always taken 10+mins to get me my order. Quite possibly the worst fast food service in Cville.
