Pathetic television ads. One has a woman slapping a man in the face. Imagine of the reverse happened. Also, they have multiple ads that are annoying as hell where the actors look into the screen and are recording their words and actions.

It’s not rocket surgery as to why.

Chick-Fil-A is very clean, the food is hot and tasty and delivered fast, and you’re greeted by everyone there as if they genuinely appreciate your business and satisfaction with their product.

Maybe if walking into a KFC wasn’t like walking into a damn museum would be helpful.

Every time I have made that mistake over the past 3 years I thought I was looking at statues behind the counter. Not sure any one of them could have fogged a mirror

Then again it ain’t much different than any other “Fast” “Food” place I have been in lately.

Slacked jawed drooling houseplants that show less animation than the zombies on “Sean of the Dead”

Things are so bad at KFC that to save money they're going to have to rename the company as KF.

Why don’t they try something extremely radical, like going back to the quality of food they served forty years ago?

Just a thought.

McDonlalds, KFC, Wendys shedding jobs. Commercial real estate in a meltdown. Strip malls all over America that look like war zones. Shopping malls deserted. JC Penny, Sears, and Kmart in a death rattle. 50 Million on Food Stamps. Real unemployment at 20 plus percent. Ten million on Social Security Disability. Inflation much worst than what the government lies say.

America - you have threw our God and elected a false messiah.

Sure sounds like an industry poised to seamlessly absorb a $15 minimum wage to me ... not!

Don’t be so negative. EBT is at an all time high!
You’re just using the wrong ruler to measure Baraq’s success.
