    Same name different people.

    Background info!
    the KFC that i work at is a franchise. so we use the KFC name, but contrary to popular belief, we are not all one big happy family!
    our prices are higher then the ones in the city because we cant buy it in bulk, and we get charged thrice the amount the city does to get our supplies delivered. so we need to charge more.

    Story!
    so this guy orders and gets to the window. my lovely cashier says that he wants to talk to me.
    so i go up there and see what he wants. as soon as i gets there i see him whip out this flier from KFC and my inner child tries to hang itself.

    we dont send out ANY fliers. they are the city's. if there are coupons, we will take them on some special conditions (like if we have the meal its talking about. 2 different stores 2 different products.)

    sc-old douche bag man
    me- er me?

    sc: why am i being charged YY.YY when it says that it should be ZZ.ZZ here! *shoves flier into my face *
    me: im sorry sir those are the cities prices. we are a franchise so we do not have the same prices as them.
    sc: thats bullshit! your KFC! you should have the same prices as them!
    me: like i said sir, we are a franchise, 2 different stores. so our prices are different.
    sc: that bullcrap! im going to talk to the sanders about this! you guys are all KFC! your prices should all be the same! im not ever coming back here again! im going to tell my friends too! you will never get any business ever again!

    oh no sir! please don't tell all your friends! which consist of your deaf wife, an old dog, and your own reflection. but please god no!!!! i have a family to feed!

    if you want all the prices to be the same, then how about the city match OUR prices? if you like the cities prices then go, drive out for 1/2 an hour, and shop there!

    as for the never coming back ever again. can i get that in writing?

    Last I checked, as I have been to McD's and other fast food restaurants in various states and cities, it differs from place to place what they serve and how much it costs. What a jerk. What you're spending extra in food, you'll save in gas.

      oh but my dear that takes logic. logic is a scary dark place the SC are afraid to venture near.
      for some reason these people cant phantom that the reason why it cost more, is because it costs us more to ship it so far out of the city!
      city=closer=cheaper.
      middle of freaking nowhere= far away=costly.

          we do have a picture of him upfront. perhaps the old guy could just yell at that.

          oh yes, the fear of loosing a customer. boot shaking to the max.

            Heh. Same issue at my fast food days at Hardee's. City an hour away would run ads on news channels, which ran locally as well. So people would come in for 50 cent hamburgers and 99 cent roast beef sandwiches and we'd have the joy of telling would-be customers that we wouldn't honor the prices. Being individually owned and all that. People didn't get that the "at participating restaurants only" at the end of the ad meant there were exclusions.

              uuuugh! we had that 2! but it was with toonie tuesdays! people are literate up to the point where it conveniently says "at participating restaurants only" then its all "duuuuh? where did it say that?"

                I get that all the time... people upset that hotels have different rates, ie, why does this hotel charge more than the same brand 10 miles away.

                  FYI, KFC is owned by Yum! Brands, the same people who own A&W Root Beer, Long John Silver's, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Wing Street restaurants. In 2006, Yum! Brands became the first ever sponsor of the Kentucky Derby and by contract the Kentucky Derby must now be called "The Kentucky Derby, Presented by Yum! Brands" in all announcements and advertising. By the way, talking about a monopoly, in a town west of me there is an intersection with a KFC (with an A&W rootbeer inside) a LJS and a Pizza Hut on 3 of the 4 corners, all of which are owned by the same franchisee. What's on the 4th corner, you ask? Why a Cadillac dealership, of course.

                        yes, but we have to pay them to use their name.
                        how it goes here (least from my knowledge) if they have some kind of promo going on we have to serve it too. (like when they had spicy chicken. we didnt want to serve it but if we didnt Yum would fine us a bunch of money)
                        BUT they have no control over our prices.

                        the pizza hut around our area hates us. the owner is a dip whenever we go there. he hates having to honor our discounts.

                        wow i didnt even know that they owned A&W 2!
