I ordered KFC Delivery and received a surprise

[Iron Woode]

Are you implying that the 11 herbs and spices are illegal in the USA?

we have different regulations for food here.

Things are different here than in the US.

We didn't even have KFC here until the late 80's. Before that we had Scott's Chicken Villa which sold KFC chicken for us.

And how about Dunkin Donuts? Has it penetrated the monopoly of Tim Hortons?

Best fried chicken I've ever had was in Korea. 5 bucks for an entire chicken. The skin was crisp and wasn't salty at all, just had the perfect about of flavoring. Had no excess grease and overall just amazing.

Based on your signature, meow may be why.

French Silk > Lemon Meringue

Pioneer is damn good, have you ever had Louisiana? Not 100% but I believe there's one in LB and one in LA. It's really good, at least the one I eat at in SD is. Pioneer's uber though, the Chicken is orange from the grease or something. SHEIEIEIEIEIT I need to make a trek out to Bell Gardens soon to get some.


And my friends out in DC tell me it's all about Cluck U Chicken, I'd definitely eat there for the name alone. The food has to be win with a name like that.

I have not yet...maybe I'll trek over to the hood this weekend.

I don't like how Koreans fry their chicken. the crust is 8 inches thick and hard as a rock. often boneless chunks of meat, so you cna't be confident that it's an actual cut as opposed to some mashed collection of meats.

The meat is often nice and juicy, but I don't like the generally flavorless shell of stone that I have to bite through to get to the meat. 'tis my experience with US Korean fry houses, anyway. :\

Tim Hortons is pretty entrenched in Canadian culture. They used hockey night in Canada very effectively and now the entire country runs on the stuff. The only real competitor to Tim Hortons is Starbucks up here.

That happens at every fast food place. I worked with a guy at pizza hut that used to spray cleaner on the pizzas after they came out of the oven. I have no idea how no one got seriously ill.

I've worked at several restaurants and the only time I've ever seen someone spit in food is on one occasion when a dick employee put in his meal ticket and told the guy making it not to fuck it up.

Never a good idea.

As for KFC... how can I put this... KFC is to fried chicken like 17 hour old gas station coffee is to freshly roasted Blue Mountain. If it's all you've ever had, you might be inclined to think it's good. It is not.

I came in here hoping for this. :'(

You fucks that witnessed food sabotage and did nothing are worthless.

Americans have lost their backbones though.

It's going to catch up to us sooner or later.

In my case I was 16 or 17, it was my first job, and the food "saboteur" was the grumpy asst. manager. I wasn't about to lose my first job by tattling, that would be a sad way to go.

I do like how in your book this equates to the downfall of America. It's refreshing to hear someone that believes that simple evils like this have a profound influence. Usually people don't sweat the small stuff, but you take it to a new level of concern, and your patriotism is commendable. :thumbsup:

We know you ordered the diet pepsi. Do you really think you're fooling anyone?


:sneaky:

That's a good one.

Well I was pretty vocal even prior to that age when I saw problems. Part of this was why I advanced quickly in the banking industry. I wasn't afraid to go to someone's boss if they didn't get their act straight. I knew asshats with a stack of filing to do that would grab the next 5 documents each time and stick those in the first documents file. I never understood that. It's not like the next day there would suddenly be nothing else to file...you are getting paid 9-5 to do it.

What I find is the real reason no one says anything is everyone is a fucking coward. People believe if you call 911 somehow the 'criminal' is going to be able to find out about you and come and shoot you. The sad part is calling 911 can bring a social stigma sometimes from certain people thinking you are just butting in (because they feel uncomfortable about doing it themselves).

I am sorry but if I see some dude trying to break into a car, or a dog going apeshit because their owner left them in a car with the windows all sealed shut; I am either going to do something or call someone.

I walk my dogs each morning and cover a lot of ground. Most of my phone calls have just been someone leaving a door open but so far 2 times there were burglaries that had occured. Finding this out sooner vs later is always better. Also I called on one domestic dispute, I tried to break it up myself but the dudes friends all jumped in. My dog was all of 6 months at the time so I am sure they'd have targetted him. No need to play a hero when our police station is 2 minutes from anywhere in the neighborhood.

They were there before I even got 5 houses down. By that time he was beating the living crap out of this chick. He ended up breaking her cheekbone and had crushed her windpipe.

But yeah I guess I may have just been nosy.

I'm really surprised at the amount of people that haven't witnessed people messing with food, especially at fast food restaurants. Almost every job I worked at had some loser that would do something to the food, especially at the end of the night when that last customer rolled in before closing. I asked my wife, and she remembers the same (she worked at Wendy's and waited for a lot of restaurants). Majority of the jobs we worked at were on the bus line though, so there were a lot of grumpy older people working there that couldn't afford cars. Maybe poor people are more prone to spit in food, since their life sucks and they feel good ruining other people's food? I don't know, but it was common. And this was before the movie Waiting came along and made it amusing .

I would have gotten my ass kicked by a lot of people if I complained about all of the instances I saw, and no, fast food restaurants do not have quite the same level of anonymity that a 911 call does lol. Most of my "bosses" were friends outside of work with all of the other employees, so it's kind of hard to rat out someone who might see you later that evening at a party.

Should I have said something each time I saw it? Maybe, but I enjoy having teeth, so I did what every other person in the joint did, minded my own damn business.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

I worked at McDonalds for over a year and a total of 3 years in cafes which including lots of waiting and food prep and I never once, not even once saw someone fuck with the food. I think it's just downright fucking weird that you witnessed it consistently Wyndru, but it says a lot about New Yorkers I suppose.

 

[alkemyst]

fuck, i'd take my share of assbeatings not to have to live with that.

Chances are after a few of them you'd be the one giving them.
