KFC must be trying to compete with the delicious McRib sandwich from McDonald’s; it’s hard to resist those yummy painted-on grill-lines…

what everyone should realize is that there was no warning on these coupons. oprah hooked everyone up all right, but didn’t include kfc in early enough to get the stores overstocked and ready. no warning just a bunch of loud, rude people demanding what they wanted the free meal to be not what it said it was going to be. they were told at the door 55 minute wait ( the stupid oven the grill is cooked in only holds 5 trays of chicken at a time-20 min. to cook we are open 12 hours that is 60 full cooks a day times 5 trays with 16 pieces on each tray. there is no way to keep up. the coupons were supposed to be printed off the internet, but you have people that want to play the game and make copies….guess what that makes the chicken run out faster. the employees in the stores were doing the best they could with a situation they had no control over and are being paid minimum wageto handle. is it fair to have people that are getting something for free and cheating by making extra copies screaming in employees faces and showing their asses and complaining about a wait? the coupons are good until the 19th but everyone thought they would outsmart the system. if you should be pissed at anyone it should be oprah and the corp people who set this up without making sure they knew what they were able to accomplish first… quit bitching you didn’t lose anything you paid for it was free and if you hadn’t been complaining for the last hour in line you could have went to the store bought it and cooked it yourself.

I had a bad experience and Tallahassee, Florida, the service was awful and they cut the chicken half, they gave me a tablespoon of potatoes and the same with the cole slaw but Oprah’s paying for the whole meal. KFC dont ever have to worry about me!

Wow, this is crazy. I actually used a coupon yesterday. The first KFC I went to wasn’t participating in the promotion. The next one I went to was participating and there were a lot of people there with coupons in hand, but not nearly as many as there were when the food chain was giving away free grilled chicken with no coupon (the line was literally out the door and on the sidewalk.

BTW, my friend had a great idea, print some out and give them to the homeless. The fact that you need a computer, internet access and a computer makes it harder for the people who need it most to get it.
