KFC — Restaurant in Oceanside

We got a coupon in the mail so I filed it in my coupon envelope cuz you never know when you'll have a KFC 🍗 emergency! Yesterday while out for an errand, I was hankering for some KFC 🐔.... pulled out my coupon and the 9 piece bucket for $15.99 got my attention. So off I went to the nearest KFC in Vista... the first place I went in said we don't have this coupon and told me to go to the KFC in Oceanside. I called before leaving the parking lot and was told they don't have that coupon in their system and the special they have currently is 8 pieces for $21. I wasn't about to give up because now I'm really curious why KFC would send out a coupon and their locations have no idea what the heck it is! I called another KFC in Oceanside, the 2007 Mission location, and the lady I spoke with told me we don't have that coupon but bring it in and we'll see what we can do. Off I went! When I got there, the young lady I showed the coupon to said let me get my manager. Flora (sp) the manager too said we don't have this coupon in our system. She asked where I got it, I told her I got it in the mail. I also told her I'm really curious why KFC would send out a coupon but none of the locations that I've been to or called have it in their system.... Long story short, she didn't turn me away! Flora told me what she was willing to do for me and did it! I appreciate the level of customer service and the way she and her staff dealt with me! I came in during dinner time and I wasn't the only one person hankering for some KFC🍗! All three staff were working hard filling orders but never did I feel rushed nor did they make me feel bad for having a mystery coupon! I was so pleased with the exchange I went back to the car to grab some moola for a tip! I got home with my bucket of guilty pleasure to go with my steamed rice and garlic broccoli 🥦 (the things we do to justifya bucket as we get older)!!! Thank you Flora and staff for being kind, for smiling, and working hard to provide fantastic customer...

Manager is a bitter faced old woman. My phone was stolen in this parking lot (unrelated but still a tip to this place). Kids working as employees are sweet but hell no to this place if you want any good food. Constantly out of white meat chicken. The woman in charge does not know how to order inventory properly, or she is trying to cut cost by selling dark meat at same price. Yet, you are still charged the same amount. Again, it is not a problem of the sweet young workers, the management is the issue. Best of luck to her with the stank face she constantly displays. Go to the McDonald's nextdoor. Those women know what...

The food is usually pretty good, typical KFC food. Went in to the restaurant this time and I was a bit surprised with how rundown the dining area was. The floors looked like they were mopped with a dirty, maybe even greasy mop. There was s bucket of water in the middle of the room. Tables needing cleaned off and wiped down. Even the paint on the walls could use a touch up. There was no music in the dining area to mask the awkward sounds of the other patrons and kitchen. We love KFC and have been coming to this location's drive-thru for years, but after going inside I'm a bit...
