KFC — Restaurant in Albuquerque

The only bad thing about this particular KFC is the area it's at. I feel completely unsafe when we come through here. There is always TONS of junkies & bums in the parking lot and around the building. You also have them coming in try5 to refill their bottles.

I do have to commend the workers for having to put up with those people and doing their best with them. I understand there's only so much they can do so they don't get harassed by the vagrants.

Maybe if the police would do their job and had more of a presence in that area, it may not be as bad, but everytime I've gone through, you usually have people using drugs or in the open without a care in the world. Some that are just standing there zonked out and look like they're sleeping while standing and they're pants falling down...

Also, this particular time it smelled really bad like if there was a backed up sewage or sewage line broke? Unsure if it's the vagrants using the restroom all around or if it was something needing to be fixed??

Unfortunately this is the closest KFC. Sometimes I'll go out of our way to one further, but a lot of the times you just don't feel like going out further...

Picture of just some of the junkies behind the KFC. Still in the same parking lot. There was more around the store and to the west of it. This was just south of the building. And there was more...

I was a first-time KFC customer, and the experience was shameful. The Manager (I believe it was a lady) was rude, unfriendly, and not fit to serve any customer. I was shut down and almost not allowed to speak when making an order. S/he was quite impatient, even though no customer was waiting after me at the time. I complained to the cashier, asking if they don't welcome new customers in KFC. When she asked if anything was wrong, I told her the person who took the order was impatient. When the Manager showed up with the order, the Cashier mentioned that the manager had taken the order. All the Manager did was look through as though asking what the problem was, and I told her s/he wasn't patient enough when she took my order. Guess what she did? She looked at me disdainfully, turned her back, and walked away in a manner as though I was nothing. The Cashier (Destine by name) did apologize more like a real Manager would. I never knew KFC didn't entertain new customers. That would be the last time I or any member of my family would ever...

Edit to add: haven't eaten KFC in years and I just got a famous bowl and an order of fries (I was SO looking forward to their fries) and the fries are seriously at LEAST a week old, hard as a rock/cold and literally inedible 👎 the bowl was okay but seriously only 3 pieces of chicken. Never going back. Horrible. Why are all of these fast food places going downhill and are so disgusting/bad?! And everything is MORE expensive nowadays too. There's a reason I dont eat out. So gross.

I'm a DoorDash driver and the night shift especially, treats us drivers like crap. They NEVER have orders ready and there is this one female employee who ALWAYS is rude and says drive around to the front and I'll bring it out to you in a little bit. A little bit is 15 mins minimum! And they are always out of food. Even if the order is a drink and one piece of chicken, the wait is always over 20ins. I swear they do it on purpose. Ill never go back there as a customer or DD driver! Horrible...
