KFC is "CHICKEN" out for 60s challenge...

Some of my friends did very well in the Euro 2012 prediction..and one of them was so generous to give us a small treat in KFC...

There is this new KFC promotion challenge..

Free Fried Chicken if you are not served in 60 seconds..

The queue was rather long that day and I was wonder what happen to the challenge......


There is a stop watch at the counter .. and some ppl use it...
After 60 secconds and trigger the alarm.. Tit Tit Tit Tit Tit..
but the KFC server was still in no hurry ......

We waited for 15 mins.. finally it is our turn...
my friend ask the waiter .. are you ready? As he wanted to start the stop watch...
the guy told us that .. it has not implemented yet....
my friend said ......WHAT?  NOT IMPLEMENTED YET?  it coudn't be...

Rather not to repeat the Kentucky Fight Customer saga....
I told him .. aiye nevermind le..
next time ... next time .. they need to train for it .....

The queue now is 30 mins of waiting time...

We shall be back .. to check it out.......
READY,  GET SET,  GO...

  1. Last time got one fast food outlet tried to do this.

    But then, come lunch hour, they said the system not on for the period.

    Of course la... otherwise, free food left and right!

    1. i think it's the fast food leader that started this thing long long time ago, and quite successful.. because i think they are always fast and 60 seconds is just common.. whereas for KFC, they used to be so slow taking like 3 minutes, i really wonder if they can make it within 60 seconds, haha!!

  2. Why must do this gimmick?

    Train staff to be more efficient better. And smile more.

  4. KFC likes to launch program that they are not ready and count for it.. first was the voucher thing, then the I-City, and now 60 seconds.. frankly speaking, I couldn't be bothered on their promo, I only go to certain KFC anyway..

  5. It's like the promotion that Pizza Hut had long long time ago! Though, I haven't eaten KFC since I was in primary school!

  6. I like their chickens but I dislike their service level. They are awfully slow and I don't understand why. I think they should consider hiring a new operation manager from McD. =D

  7. 30 minutes!!!! I would rather not eat! No way am I going to queue there for that long...and the chicken is so fat and oily...and at some outlets, the meat is like jelly like it has not been properly defrosted before frying. I'd rather go to the good ol' coffee shop anytime - cheaper and nicer!

  11. At one time Old Town White Kopi lost its popularity after Pappa Rich opened. OTWC got damn slow snail service so they offered the same Free makan if they delivered late.

    They had to remove the FREE ads as they lost and rugi kuat! Blergh!!!!

  14. Not yet implement but put the timer on counter for what? Rehearsal ar?
    BTW...they really dare to put 60 seconds hor...I think they will lose many chickens!

  15. talk cock lah.. not implemented then why the hell put that stopwatch there?? don't dare to take the challenge most probably..

  16. i've checked their facebook, they just posted about this 60second thing 3 hours ago.. so maybe tomorrow you can go and try again.. if they still say it's not implemented yet, show them the proof and insist to be served in 60 seconds..

    ReplyDelete
  17. i really curious if they are able to make it, cos they are all the time taking their own sweet time to serve, one customer in average spend 5 minutes at the counter.. and the queuing time is average 20 minutes..
