/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Why don't you call and ask?

>>3732210

They're a business that sells food. What do you think?

Call in advance and place an order. Try not to do it during lunch or dinner hours when you think they will be busy.

Why would you post this on a weeaboo imageboard? Call KFC you summerteen.

It's 3 AM they are closed.

>>3732225
Go to bed and call in the morning summercunt

Actual Conversation at a KFC (me in green text)
They had "Come in for a 24 piece bucket" on the sign out front
>>Hi, I'd like to get a 24 piece bucket and...
Do you have a coupon?
>>Um, no...
I can't sell a 20 piece without a coupon.
>>Ya, I will pay full price...
I'm not allowed.
>>What's the largest bucket you CAN sell me?
18.
>>Then I'll take an 18 piece bucket and 4 more pieces of chicken in a box.
I'll have to go get my manager sir.
(manager now)
We can't sell you a 24 piece without a coupon.
>> Ya, I get that, but you can sell me an 18 piece and a 4 piece right?
*long pause as he looks at me like I'm trying to cheat him*
I guess we can...
>>You know what, there's a Arby's next door, I'll go see what they can do for me. Have a great day.

Fast food workers are dumb. I wish I could manage or own a store. This shit wouldn't happen.

Okay so I was looking through my cupboards and found that I have a jar of pork gravy, as well as some flour. How hard is it to make biscuits?

>>3732267
So buy into a fast food franchise you stupid hippie

>>3732281

I'm terrible with dough..especially pie or biscuit dough. So they're kinda hard for me to make.

>>3732281

It's pretty easy, but I would lower your standards on your first batch. They won't be perfect by any means.

>>3732284

If you can't handle 4chan, then you should probably find something else to do.

At my nearest KFC, you probably couldn't. Not because of ingredients or rules or anything like that, but because the staff are Indians who can't speak any English and get mad at you like it's your own fault you can't speak Punjabi.

>>3732309
The only place I see Indians where I live is at Subway. I've never walked into a Subway around here that didn't have at least one Indian guy behind the counter.

>>3732314
Over here, Indians work in EVERY fast food place except Burger King and McDonald's.

They've dominated Wendy's, A&W, Subway, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Domino's, Quizno's, Tim Horton's, etc.

I rarely get my order correct unless the worker is white-washed (usually a high school or college student who was locally born), or I have some reasonable control over it (such as Subway, where they make the food in front of me).

they probably sell biscuits but the gravy they use is just the powdered stuff you buy at walmart

>>3732309
Indians are all over the 7-11s and strangely enough, small donut businesses here

I am in awe of the Indian guy who owns the local 711. He somehow manages to run a store quite well and work a job in call center on his bluetooth earpiece at the same time.

>>3732325
It's mostly just the Subway here. In fact...I don't think I've ever seen an Indian outside of a Subway. I don't go out much though. As for the other restaurants, it's a mix of white/black depending on where you live in the area. That must be frustrating though. I'd think the store managers would hire workers that have a better grasp on the language.

>>3732347
Funny story, my friend was hired through reverse affirmative action. The Wendy's staff was all-Indian, and my friend was the only white guy. Apparently corporate was breathing down their necks pretty hard.

>>3732353
Didn't America pass the point of whites not being the majority anymore. I don't think people should be hired just because of their race or any other discriminatory thing, but I can't say I wouldn't accept the job. Need one bad.

>>3732360
I live in Canada, and functionality of affirmative action is dubious.

It usually happens in places with a large corporate structure (such as fast food chains and major retailers). And they can work in white people's favor if the staff is almost exclusively non-white.

They seldom work in smaller businesses, though. That's why you almost never see white people working in sushi restaurants, and why you almost never see Asians working in white-owned automotive shops

bake your own

wheres the 4chan image for KFC biscuts, the red lobster 1 suck dick.

>>3732360
>Didn't America pass the point of whites not being the majority anymore

No?

http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html

>White persons not Hispanic, percent, 2011 63.4%

Don't know what place you live, but around here, anything above 50% is a majority.

The fuck you say, OP? You betta be feeding a family of 20!

>>3732267

If there's no way to ring it up on the register, there's no way to sell it. It's that simple.

>>3734075
Anon is probably thinking of the <50% white births figure. That threshold was crossed about two years ago.

>>3734163

>split the orders and combine the tickets

You were saying?

>>3734126
I can eat 50 of those by myself in a day.

>>3732257

>Thinks he's clever because he won a debate with a fast food worker, even though he probably made up the story.

Go to Bojangles. Everything's better.
I can't even eat KFC anymore.

>>3734165

But if there's no way to bring the total number of pieces to the number of pieces the customer wants, it can't be done. Apparently there's no "add one piece" button on the register.

>>3734213

You don't understand. They don't have to do that.

If they can only sell you one order of biscuits and gravy, then they can ring up 40 separate transactions.

>>3734218

I'm responding to the quoted story, not OP.

But I would imagine OP wouldn't want to pay what it would cost if they rang it up the way you suggest.

>>3732309
do you live in brampton or something?
>>3732337
they love turnkey businesses.
>>3732210
>going to KFC when there is a perfectly good arbys next door

>>3734213
>Hi, I'd like a Chicken Combo A and an 18 piece bucket to go, please.

You're acting like it's terrible difficult to simply combine meals onto a single ticket.
You can order 2 buckets, several different chicken combos, chicken combos and buckets together, it's not advanced particle physics, it's ordering fast food.

I wonder if kfc has a catering menu. Lots of places do (panera, subway, etc) and they might have some biscuit deal.

I know they have, at least, like a 5+ biscuit box. No reason why OP couldn't order a bunch of those and a few large gravy sides.. they might make him wait a few minutes to cook it all up but it's not like he's ordering 10 buckets of chicken.

go to KFC
tell what want
wait
pay
go home and enjoy

not brain science

>>3734232
>brampton

I lol'd

>>3734229

I know you're not responding to the OP. Read it again without that in mind.

I've actually had to deal with this before, and there is always an option to sell an item and give it a price.

In grocery stores, I've seen them use the produce button. They tell the register that the unit price is incorrect, and to create a new one. For instance, the price for carrots is now $1.19/lb and the customer is buying 40 lbs. This is how they would sell you 40 biscuits if each one was $1.19.

But newer registers don't have to do that. You just select a CASH option and then put in the amount.

>>3734245
>Sorry sir I can't do that.
>Why not?
>Because we don't do that. You could order 20 value meals and that would come with 40 biscuits.

If you haven't noticed, fast food workers aren't the most accommodating of people.

>>3734238

If those are both regular menu items, I'm sure there wouldn't have been a problem.

>>3734188

>>3734257

Yet I've never had a problem with one. Despite frequently requesting special orders.

Which leads me to assume that the customer was the problem.

>>3734257

Read the thread. That's not what we're talking about.

He said that the register might not even allow them to make the transaction. There are always alternatives.

Of course they won't be accommodating. But, again, THAT WAS NOT THE CONVERSATION.

>>3734265

Did you talk to the same exact fastfood worker at the same shop on the same day? Were you behind him? Did you immediately order 24 chickens and walk out strutting?

Then shut the fuck up dude. Who the hell argues over how legit a greentext story is?

>>3734257
I order all kinds of random shit at fast food places, jack in the box burger king and taco bell seem to be the most accommodating. They'll charge you extra but they do have prices for individual meat/veg/cheese items.

god i hope this troll

just order off the sides menu
I don't think your order will cause KFC to shut down

goodnight!

>>3734257
I used to order 5 4 piece mcnugget because they were cheaper than 1 20 piece mcnugget

>>3734281

The guy who posted it is a moron or a troll.

If he can post it, I can call him a moron or a troll.

Sorry if that offends you.

well shit guys, educate me then:
i have a limited supply of money for the forseeable future, all of which can go into food, but i happen to be provided with an unlimited supply of rice.

what sauces/spices/beans/whatever should i invest in to balance shit out

>>3734429

>black beans
>cumin
>chili powder
>salt
>bottle of hot sauce

>>3732325
How bad is the language barrier over there?
There are tons of hispanics working jobs like that with bad english where I'm from, and we get along fine.
