Hungry...Don't Go To KFC

The following is a post I just left at the KFC Facebook page.

My husband and i took our 2 granddaughters to our local KFC in Paris, TN. for dinner tonight. We arrived at 5:17pm. The employees were rude. We paid for the buffet and to our disbelief there were no bicuits, cole slaw and hardly any chicken. My granddaughters wanted chicken legs, there were only 4.....2 original and 2 extra crispy. We were told there was a 9 minute wait on the biscuits and a 12 minute wait on chicken legs

One of my granddaughters had a cherry pepsi and it was flat. She took her cup up to the counter and told the man that it was flat. He doesn't take her cup, doesn't give her a new one or tell her where to dump the bad drink at. He does go to fix the drink fountain machine. I had to ask them for a new cup for her or did they just want her to dump the bad drink in the fountain drain. (most places don't like you doing that) The man gave her a new cup and said that she didn't ask for one. I wasn't aware that we needed to. I thought common sense would have told him to give her a new cup. The 9 minute wait for biscuits is finally up and they place the biscuits in the buffet. My husband gets a dirty look from one of the employees because he took 4 of them (1 for each us). I sent my granddaughter to ask about the chicken legs at the 12 minute mark. She was told they weren't done yet. I waited abother 5 minutes and went up myself to ask about the chicken legs. The woman who was the only one wearing a red hat, walked to a storage tray and brought back 5 chicken legs. I called my granddaughter over. The woman then preceeded to tell me and my granddaughter that was all the legs they had and not to take them all so there would be some for everyone!!!! I asked my granddaughter if she wanted 1 or 2 she said 2 and I gave them to her. I am appalled at what this woman said and I am not sure if I will ever go back to a KFC ever again.



Memories

The other day I seen a commercial on TV that had me in stitches and brought back memories. It's a car commercial, I think for Toyota. A woman pulls up at a gas station and is waiting for the car in front of her to finish. The car in front of her suddenly takes off with the gas hose still in her gas tank. The gas pump gets ripped out and is dragged behind the car and hits what I believe is a propane tank and explodes. The minute I seen the car take off with gas hose still attached I thought of my dear mom. As you see back in the 70's my mom, my sister-in-law and I went camping. My mom had a little pop-up trailer that she would pull behind her 1975 Chevy Nova. We were on our way to Arkansas, and my mom stopped in Mount Vernon, IL for gas. This was back in the days of full service stations. She pulled up to the gas pump and a young fellow came out and asked her what she wanted. She told him to fill it. We used the restroom while he pumped the gas. Once back in the car, the young fellow came to the car window and told my mom what she owed for the gas. My mom paid him, thanked him and gave him a tip. He told her thank you and have a nice day as he walked back inside. My mom preceeded to pull away from the pump. Slowly, as she didn't want to scrape the trailer on the pump curb. All of a sudden we hear a scraping noise. She tells me to look and see what she is rubbing against. I am in the back seat, so I look out all the back windows and tell her she isn't rubbing against anything. She asked me if I was sure, I looked again and still didn't see anything wrong. She had plenty of room away from the pump curb. I told her she was ok and she eased out more. We again heard the noise and my mom hit the brakes and we all started looking for what was making the noise just in time to see the gas pump fall over with a huge CRASH!! I will never forget seeing the gas bubbling and gushing up and the gas station attendents running around like chickens with their heads cut off. The older man was yelling to get to the emergency shut off. The gas filler neck was behind the license plate and we couldn't see that the hose was still attached. Apparently the license plate bracket had kept the hose from just falling out of the car. We just sat in the car in disbelief until the older man decided to start screaming at my mom. He was screaming not so very nice words either. He wanted to know what in the hell my mom thought she was doing. My mom, when she was able to get a word in edgewise, explained that the young fellow came and collected her money for the gas and told her to have a nice day and that he went back inside. She told the angry man that it wasn't her fault. He took my money and left. Wouldn't you take it that he had taken the hose out if it had been you? The angry man asked my mom, he took your money? My mom once again told him yes he did and he told me to have a nice day. He apoligized to my mom, who by this time was a nervous wreck. He turned to the young fellow that had pumped the gas and yelled....YOU'RE FIRED!!! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!...and a few other choice words....We left and continued on our trip, although for some reason my mom felt bad because the young fellow had lost his job, it wasn't her fault, but she felt bad anyway because that was the type of person she was. 

Update on Tabitha's Planner

Ok I really want to know what schooling a teacher has to go through to become a teacher. Seriously!! Yesterday Tabitha approached her teacher with the $5.00 so she could get a new planner. The teacher told her that the office people had told another student that it was too early in the year to buy a new planner. It seems that a boy in Tabitha's class had his planner stolen on the same day. When Tabitha told me what her teacher said I was like What??? What does she mean its too early?? Your planner was stolen, but the school says you have to have one. So my daughter, Tabitha's mom, stops at the school this morning on her way home from work. She explains to office woman what Tabitha told us. The office woman says...That's not what I told the teacher!! So the deal is this....She told the teacher to make the students do a planner check to see if they have the right planner. There is a page in each planner where the teacher, student, parent and principal sign it. They are going to do this for the whole 5th grade. Then if by Monday the 2 planners have not been found then they will make them pay the $5.00. The office woman said that they hated to charge the $5.00 so early in the year. I still feel like they shouldn't be charged at all for them...they didn't lose them they were stolen!!! If my granddaughter's teacher can't get what the office woman told her straight, how is she teaching these students??? 

Stupidity

Yesterday on Facebook I felt that I had to respond to a woman that had posted what I thought was a stupid comment. She said that she didn't believe that there was children going hungry in the USA. I usually don't comment when someone posts something that is stupid. I don't like to argue, it is their page. However I couldn't stop myself when I seen that and I told her how wrong she was and yes many children are going hungry in this country. Well today I get online and the first news story I see on AOL is a story about a woman that is going to be fined for turning her driveway into a dining room in the summer to feed hungry children. The story said that she fed up to 60 children a day!! I posted this story on Facebook, couldn't help myself. If she seen it or not I do not know, but she sure didn't comment about it.

In other news my squirrel friend is back :)



WTF???

My granddaughter Tabitha came home from school yesterday without her planner. A school planner is a book that they give to every student at the beginning of the school year. It is basically a calendar where they write down their homework assignments. The teachers intial it everyday and the parents are to do the same. I think they are a big waste. It seems that someone stole Tabitha's planner. They were told to leave their stuff in the classroom and were made to go somewhere else in the school. When they returned to the classroom her planner was gone. The brilliant teacher "let" her go to her locker to see if it was in there. ???? How did it magically get from classroom to locker??? I wasn't aware that this was wizards and witches school. If you "lose" your planner they make you pay $5.00 for a replacement. My daughter stopped at the school this morning with the $5.00. The lady in the office told Tabitha to hang on to the $5.00 and ask each teacher today if they had found her planner. If not then at the end of the day she could turn in the $5.00 for a replacement. My problem is why should my daughter be made to pay for a replacement when my granddaughter didn't lose it. She left it where she was told to by a teacher. I feel that making her buy a replacement is saying that it is her fault that it is gone. This matter has my hair burning up, that is what is left of said hair after pulling it out for days.....
