So I went to KFC for the first time in...almost ten years...to redeem a coupon for a free grilled chicken meal.
Well, turns out with the run on their grilled chicken, they quit honoring them, and instead have started giving people rain checks to come back later to collect their meals. Fine. So I filled out the form and handed in the coupon and apparently they will mail me the raincheck in a few weeks that specifies some time frame I can come in to collect my meal.
Here's where it gets funny.
So my friends that I'm there with and I try to decide if we want to eat there, and we decide not to because everything else on the menu outside of a couple of sides consists of unhealthy shit. So we're turning to walk out, and I said, "Wait, wait...I've just gotta be sure."
So I step up to the cashier, and she asks what I want. I ask for one grilled chicken meal with two sides, which is exactly what I had the coupon for. They immediately ring it up and tell me that my total is like $5.44 or something. My response:
"I'm sure this isn't your fault, so I'm not directing this at you, but please tell your manager *holds up middle finger* from me when you get a chance." Then I walked out to laughter from my friends and we went across the street to Szechuan Garden, where our waiter had arms so huge that we were betting if we pissed him off he could put one of us in a headlock and flex, and we'd be decapitated. But that's besides the point.
Fuck you, KFC! Somehow I doubt I'll be getting my coupon, but I don't care.
