question about KFC marketing campaign

[ptownhorn]

This has happened to me twice now. I have asked for a two piece combo and they serve me grilled instead of fried.

Has this happened to anybody else here? Are they being instructed by managers to serve grilled unless fried is specificaly asked for?

 

[Longhorny630]

They only serve grilled. It's a marketing campaign for KGC. Personally I like the fried better.

 

[TheFied]

They have stopped serving fried chicken or default is grilled now but still have fried?

 

[Ramathorn]

Maybe they give the grilled to the fat people and fried to the skinny people?

 

[Longhorny630]

I think not serving fried at all would be suicide. There's still plenty of people who want fried foods, myself included.

what are you eating at kfc for anyway. its nasty and i dont think they even sell original recipe anymore. instant potatoes and jello gravy, cabbage in a cup of mayonaise....dude, go to popeyes...

Grilled absolutely should be the default.

They were giving away two-piece grilled chicken meals as part of the product introduction. It was even featured on Oprah. Demand was probably so great that the workers began defaulting to grilled on any 2-piece orders unless told otherwise.

I like popeyes, but have you tried church's new spicy chicken. awesome. steriod chicken. huge pieces compared to popeyes

The two are owned by the same company: "America's Favorite Chicken."

Ha! Funny that I clicked on this today I am trying out a recipe for citrus chicken marinade as we speak. I was thinking about the old "Pinch A Pollo" that used to be in Austin years ago last weekend and decided the marinaded citrus chicken was going to be the next food mastered in the household.

F KFC's marketing campaign. They should be sued for false advertising. I printed out the coupons and then they put a sign saying they wouldn't honor them b/c too many people wanted it. That's ********. You don't put up an add like that on oprah of all things and not assume everyone and their dog is going to do it.

 

[ProdigalHorn]

I think you're probably just going to a KFC run by stupid people. They're pretty common.

 

[toucan82]

the last time I went to kfc they said they were out of original... eff that

you could sue and have a good case. but is it really worth hiring a lawyer to save a buck on a 3 piece meal?
