sure its a freebie.

but it does show how f*cking incompetent they are at kfc headquarters. the way they did the promotion was botched from the start. forcing people to install some download to print coupons. then apparently not equipping their branches to even verify the coupons so it was bound to end up a disaster.

lol black people typically hate KFC, you almost never see KFC's in the inner city.

Popeyes > Louisiana (a chain) > Churches > Kookaroo(sp?) > anywhere else that has fried chicken > KFC

I doubt many black people care about this.

absolutely pathetic how any company, let a alone a huge ass one like KFC could fuck up this bad

damn, i whish we had church's chicken in oregon. we used to go there all the time in arizona. it was way better than kfc.

Churches is... decent, they still have 2 piece Tuesday where you get 2 wings for a buck. They have delicious honey butter biscuits too. Not my favorite chicken but worlds better than they were 10 years ago. Louisiana is pretty awesome, not sure how big of a chain they are though.

In regards to the above, I've seen black people at Church's and Popeyes, but not KFC.

Why are you so racist? KFC is just for white people? South-east asians are the only people capable of caring?

I don't know, I just can't get myself to care though. I mean, the few times that I do go to KFC I go there under the expectation that they will exchange food (for the most part) for money. I don't really begrudge a company that has trouble giving away its products for free since this is rarely their normal mode of operation.

I feel bad for KFC on this one, that coupon software is great, it limits how many you can print and provides a bar code that the merchant can verify.. sounds good and probably cost them a pretty penny to use for this promotion. LOL, what restaurant manager in a busy place is going to have the time/manpower to call and verify that each coupon is legit?

KFC frequently runs small contests and they send the winners KFC gift checks, I'm left wondering why they didn't do the same with this promo, the mailing would have been expensive but a lot less expensive than this mess.

What was the offer? or were they stupid enough to have coupons for just free chicken?

Yep just a coupon for a free 2 peice meal. 2 peices of chicken, 2 sides, and a biscuit.

And they whonder why people came in for it.

I fuckin' love KFC, don't know what you talkin' bout on that one.

 

[PottedMeat]

Someone at KFC fucked up. Either honor all coupons ( they can stop honoring all of them whenever they want ), or piss off potential customers.

I guess it was too hard to coordinate with all the franchises on instructions for coupon redmptions and not release a 'sample' coupon lol.

 

[tfinch2]

I find it hilarious how non-black people in this thread are saying what black people like/don't like.

 

[blurredvision]

I'm glad I think differently than most of the people in this country. Most people are getting pissed off about this whole thing, being offered something free and getting pissed because it was taken away.

Me? It's just a $4 or $5 meal. The lack of KFC corporate foresight will not affect my desire to eat their chicken in the future. Sure, they were idiotic about this whole thing, but who cares. Not sure how that affects the taste of their food, nor do I understand how that would affect my principles of choosing where I want to feed myself fatty food.
