Default did KFC really run out of chicken in croydon ?

KFC run out of chicken croydon alert 19.02.18
 
can not express the sorrow
pain really stings
no more in deep fat the wallow
how i am going to miss your tender wings.
the gap is ticking
infarct i need some tablets
the fingers have constant licking
at night i dream of your giblets.
miss the feeling
in on the sofa i cry
never will it have heeling
not the same stroking my own thigh.
gone is the appetite
i see bones through the vest
no more a attraction or delight
don't miss neither breast.
not chewing your leg
uncle has to get a pardon
he will be a chicken and beg
please accecpt sorry people from croydon.

KFC closures as chain runs out of chicken

Workers are being encouraged to take holidays as supply problems mean most of the fast-food chain's sites are closed.




bad management at KFC - FACT

I don;t see why this is news tbh.

When I worked in burger king it was almost a monthly occurrence that we ran out of burgers

I have been to a few KFCs too where they have apparently ran out of chicken. Not the 'wait 15 mins for more to be cooked' run out, but actually ran out and are only selling chips

Hundreds of KFC stores still shut in chicken delivery fiasco

Customers vent their frustration on social media as the fast-food chain says half of its 900 restaurants are open.

There is chicken for KFC but it's down to another company not delivering it to the shop.

Probably down to some bloke with no ear lobes.

It wont be his fault it will be his employer oppressing him and his freedom of expression. Have they no respect of religion?

I actually prefer it to McDonald's the fillet tower burger is amazing. That said it depends what kfc you go to, my local one is nice and clean and the food always tastes good but I went to one in northwich recently the whole building was absolutely filthy and the food was awful. I'd say McDonald's is more consistent nationwide

I love my kfc, consistently over decades it's been the winner for me. I do have to agree though that its standards of service seem to lag behind the other fast food chains

This was trending on CNN in the US, so fake news confirmed...?

But really, can you have real news inside fake news? What if it's 10% real news, but 90% fake? Doesn't most Fast food work this way? Maybe we should only judge the final product... kinda like all fast food

I think like Vicky said, this is maybe a common occurrence, though usually isolated? I have been to fast food joints where I am told they are out of things that restrict the menu. So it's not like there's chicken just basically magically appears to be eaten. It has to be delivered...

We've had an egg shortage here, not sure if it was an international thing. But I didn't really hear about it in the news, only noticed there was signage about a rise in food prices, especially pre-prepared food, to accommodate...

When I worked logistics, we had all the carriers sending us packages, as well DHL. Usually DHL ships were direct from the supplier itself, not simply distribution... so it may be that some smaller companies, even some companies you would not consider to be "small" because of how well known they are, they do this to maintain cost efficiency...
