KFC — Restaurant in Campbell River

Title: "A Sub-Zero Drive-Thru Catastrophe"

Dear diary of dining disasters,

As a connoisseur of fast food, I've been through the drive-thru gauntlet enough times to have developed a certain zen-like acceptance of its quirks and inconsistencies. However, my experience at this particular establishment was akin to a culinary car crash in slow motion - a debacle that couldn't have been more disastrous if the Hamburglar himself had taken over the kitchen.

My saga began at 8:30 pm, a time when the establishment was allegedly still open. However, the logic-defying decision to lock the front doors half an hour prior might lead one to believe they'd accidentally stumbled into a scene from a low-budget horror movie rather than a fast food outlet. I didn't realize I needed a time machine to get dinner.

The first sign of impending doom was when my humble request for a Twister wrap was met with the reluctance of a sloth on a lazy Sunday. Apparently, the deep fryer was too much of a logistical nightmare for the kitchen staff to handle at this hour. I'd hate to be a burden on their languid lifestyle, but would it be too much to ask for my food to be, well, cooked?

The saga continued when my consolation fries arrived. To call them 'cold' would be a compliment; they had the temperature and texture of ice cubes delicately dusted in salt. I half-expected to see a penguin waddle out from the back with my order.

After a 15-minute wait that felt like an eternity in a dystopian time warp, my sandwich finally arrived, generously slathered with more mayo than a Miracle Whip commercial. There was more chicken on a vegan's plate than in that thing. It was like someone had mistaken the mayo tub for a culinary canvas, and my sandwich was their abstract masterpiece.

And napkins? Forget about it! Apparently, they're on the endangered species list here, or perhaps they're being held hostage in the locked part of the store. Either way, it's clear that cleanliness isn't exactly a priority.

To sum it all up, this establishment seems to be in a unique time zone where closing time is a fluid concept, customer service is a myth, and temperatures are more suited for a winter in Antarctica. If I could give it less than one star, I'd be googling "how to award negative stars on Google Reviews" right now. Save yourself the hassle and find a place where the staff doesn't treat the deep fryer like it's a dragon they're too scared to wake.

With all due disrespect,

A Very...

Today I sat for 20 minutes while the car ahead of me ordered the entire menu. I ordered my meal of a $5 fill up 2 piece thigh+leg with a side of gravy. I upsized my pepsi, because why not for $0.20? I got to the window and my order had not been punched into the computer, and he asked me what it was again. He then proceeded to act like he remembered at least a part of my order by asking: "Iced Tea right?" Another painful few minutes pass as I'm still stuck holding the debit machine while their entire kitchen staff run around with their heads cut off. I finally get my order and get handed 2 355ml cans of pepsi, saying they ran out of large cups, and they'd give me the cans at no extra charge. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that does not add up to the 30 oz that is the large beverage. 355 x 2 = 710 which is equivalent to a medium 20oz drink. The large is almost 900 ml at 30 oz. It may have only been $0.20, but with the poor service and the amount of time I had to wait to get my food, it was not worth it. Plus, for how greasy their food is they should provide napkins to all paying customers. What did I get in my bag instead? 20 packets of ketchup and salt+pepper. Never going back, and I was a...

Ordered a feast and waited 25min, then they said that they were out of corn and asked if I wanted an extra piece of chicken for the inconvenience, I accepted thinking what great service! Got the meal home to discover that we had not recieved our lg fries, and the second salad was a small. I called the store and 15 rings later a Male picked up the phone so I explained to him what had happened and he said I'll give you a credit for a LG fries, I asked if he could use his delivery service to bring them to me and he said no! I then asked if there's something more he could do for the inconvenience, again he said no then promptly hung up! Needless to say, I will not support the Campbell River...
