      No but if you get a blue bandaid from cheap store, put some tomato sauce on the inside the night before then slip it into the burger you can prob get free what ever you like.

        Must be the quality of applicant you attract. At Maccas, we chucked them in the kitchen from 14 years and 9 months. Slave to the grill.

    The manager at my local told me to stop coming. Apparently being booked in for the last 3 KFC tours is frowned upon. The last 2 times, he did not even give me the tour (seeing I was the only one who turned up)- got my meal just for turning up. I've signed up again just to make him happy!

        Sure did mate! The manager just shook his head when I came in. I think it was his way of saying: i missed you buddy! Also, seeing that I always present the feedback form (which needs to be approved by him) for free chips+drink every week or so, he probably resisted the urge to kick me out of his store!

    I wonder when they'll show us the part where they ignore the chicken feathers and deep fry it anyway.

    Seriously this has happened a couple times.
    From start to finish they're a lot of of people that would see the chicken piece from live chicken being killed to crumbling and frying. I thought they had a chef that quality controlled it.

    I know where it comes from and it doesn't matter too much, just kinda funny. I guess it's a pretty rare occurrence and mistakes happen in any industry or system.

    I was almost rejected from joining when the assistant manager said i need to wear safety shoe. But i told him otherwise by showing him the email. I only need to wear cover shoe.

    Overall the tour was a nice experience. The crew members this morning were fanatastic, and only half of the guests turned up for the tour. What a waste.
