Give me more breast, mum demands KFC



A CLUCKING furious mother who took her son for lunch at KFC says she might never return to the restaurant after asking for three pieces of chicken breast – and being told she could only have one.
Domestic cleaner Tina Baker was in Folkestone with her 10-year-old son on Saturday, October 25, when she decided to treat them both to an early lunch at 10.40am.


Turning away from McDonald’s, they decided to visit Kentucky Fried Chicken in Sandgate Road.


But when Mrs Baker was told she could not have the three pieces of chicken breast she was left in a flap and told she had to have two legs instead.


The 41-year-old told the Herald: “I couldn’t believe it when they said no. I’m the customer, I should get what I ask for.


“The guy behind the till said no I couldn’t have three pieces of chicken breast, just and then got the manager who said they couldn’t do it. I’m paying, I should get what I want. I told them I’m going to go to the papers with it.


“I heard of another bloke who wanted six pieces of chicken breast and he couldn’t have it either.


“It’s put me off going back.”


The pair eventually finished their meal, albeit with two legs and a piece of breast.


The Herald has approached KFC for comment.

One of those lovely - "I know my rights" newspaper articles!

What they seem to fail to mention, is that if you only want breast in a set meal such as a bargain bucket, it is possible, but you do have to pay extra.

    Im still not sure whats worse. Threatening to go to the papers because they wouldn't give her more breast, or the actual papers taking up the story! :rotfl:

    Local papers ONLY care about selling copies (which is why they have so many photos of non-events, people will buy the paper if they're in it), so any tea-cup scandal will whip up excitement on both sides and get some sales.

    Unsurprisingly, local papers are dying out.

    An early lunch at 10.40am?! :o


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    “Not Returning!”
    1 of 5 starsReviewed 23 November 2013
    Lived sin Folkestone for year,
    Haven't been impressed,

    My partner has been a few time for dinner,

    Problems

    1: Went to order dinner we had one boneless bucket and big daddy burger,

    Opened my food and gravy was everywhere all over my food

    2: ordered the same with extra hot wings, no hot wings for my partner

    3: gravy was more like water,

    4: I went in with my friend,
    She ordered hers before me,

    I was next went to order boneless bucket for one, but asked if I could have a small popcorn instead of hot wings, because I don't like hot wings, neither does my friend or my kids
    Explained I don't eat them neither does anyone else I'm with, so could I trade, got told no you can't, I explained more that their just go in the bin, she said no you can't swap are you ordering or not? I replied no sat down with my friend then mcdonalds,

    I'd understand if they were busy wen i was asking but it was dead,

    I am not buying food just to throw in the bin, haven't been back since and no planning to, it's 99p for small popcorn chicken & £1.29 for hot wings, it's a waste of food, my friends food was horrible had some sort of weird jelly in it,

    Not impressed, rather spend my money on different food places,
