    While this is egregious, why are you buying chicken on KFC dot com?

    I didn’t know that was even possible. This is a wholly unexpected mode of behavior.

          Yeah, most fast food places here have delivery options now, usually partnered through UberEats or GrubHub or one of those apps. At least in the cities, they do.

          Otherwise, they also will typically let you order online so you can schedule it to be ready when you get there to pick it up, yourself.

            even here in the boonies we have doordash now… just as expensive as in the city, and just as cold whenif you get it.

            and i think you can still pay a one-way taxi fare and have them pick up an order and deliver. it has to be ready, waiting and already paid for–they won’t wait. this is the cheaper option, because you’re paying menu prices. not third-party ‘app’ prices plus bullshit fees and surcharges. fare is about 5 bucks anywhere in town.

              I agree, I’m not a big fan of most of their menu these days. Though, their Famous Bowls always hit hard.

            I went to a Krispy Krunchy Chicken at a gas station while travelling a few months ago… Gas station chicken has no business being that good.

            A gas station several miles away makes amazing tasting food. I’m sure the fried chicken is fried in the cheapest transfat oil, but I’ve largely moved away from meat. I still eat it but I feel better when I restrict it. They also have baked chicken, meatloaf, etc and the veggies are slamming. And it’s not always cheaper anymore, to do it yourself, unless you catch a free ride that day and exchange your time.

            If you live in rural areas you probably have better chicken than crap from KFC, no?

              Walking or asking a friend if they have time, usually at a cost of some gas.

              Bike, walk, pay too much in time, money, effort, etc, or make friends and catch your rides when you can, understanding it may come at a mutual inconvenience.

      An irritating number of companies make it inconvenient to just view a menu, and want you to “Start your order!” to see prices and availability. I get that certain items are regional so entering a zip code makes sense, but if I just want to look at a menu and prices to see if I even want to do business with them I shouldn’t have to create an account.

      That said, for convenience purposes I’ll occasionally order food online or over the phone so it’s ready by the time I’m driving past on my way home and pick it up.

        I often feel I’m stuck in the 90’s when it comes to ordering food. I like calling a restaurant, I like driving to pick it up myself, I like asking them shit about the menu over the phone.

        I’m a human being, yo talk to me, don’t just tell me to go to the app or the website.

        And before anyone beats me to it, yeah I’m angry at that cloud.
