I'm pretty sure they do know how to cook. They were upset because a special offer that had been advertised on TV for such a long time was suddenly not available because the restaurants didnt order enough chicken.

A family bucket for $4.99 is a lot cheaper then buying and cooking that much chicken yourself.

I went to do a report on the only gay bar in my village that had closed down, and surprisingly, every person interviewed way gay.

Wow, my report was homophobic.

Just kidding. Yes, all the customers in the video were black, so what? Maybe that neighborhood had a lot of black people living there, they were advertised a nice offer from a restaurant, and lots of them went out to buy the offer.

I know about the stereotype, but I'm asian and if my nearby fried chicken restaurant was selling a huge bucket for $4.99 (£2.50-£3???), I would be queuing up.

Mmmmmmm .... lots of yummy fried chicken for cheap!

In comparison, a pack of 4 raw chicken breasts costs around £4-6 depending on their weight at the supermarkets.

Cheapest one here:

Mmmmmmmmm!!!!! CHHHHIIIIICCCCKKKKKKKEEEEENNNNNN

Ya sometimes it happens where it seems stereotypical but people still look for every excuse in the book to take offense to it. <3 people.

The following is not intended to be racist although I know a bunch of you assholes will consider it to be so.

Why are black people always trying to turn something into a race issue? They spend so much time trying to prove someone is racist when in turn blacks are being more racist for thinking this. Don't you people realize that if you just let this race shit go and stop trying to say every RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing thing involving a black person is racist it will end?

RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO sakes.

lol no it's not... All you need to fry chicken is the chicken, flour, an egg, a dab of milk and grease. That's it...

Unless you charge yourself for cooking, it comes out to less than half the price.

Most people already have flour, eggs, milk and grease, so those hardly even count in the first place.

This is better... "Ma'am, we're not going to go down there and enforce your Western Bacon Cheeseburger."

"You're supposed to be here to protect me!"
"What are we protecting you from, the wrong cheeseburger?"

I stopped going to the KFC near my house because they were always running out of chicken or sometimes they'd say: sorry but we can't sell you any chicken legs right now because then we'd be out of them.

Chick-fil-et is the best chicken place if you ask me.

Raw chicken breasts are VERY VERY expensive to buy. Did you check my above link to a pack of smartprice ones?

$4.99 for a big bucket is cheaper then buying the same amount of chicken raw from the supermaeket. Believe me, I eat a lot of chicken.

Do note however, that she didnt call 911 because Mcdonalds ran out of Mcnuggets, she called them because they wouldnt refund her £5.

While not an emergency and it isnt a need for a call to the police, this was still a theft. If you pay for something and the store doesnt have it, they have to give you your money back, not a different item, although it shouldnt have to escalate to a call to the police, in this womans case she already did try talking to the manager and talking it through to the staff and they wouldnt refund her the money, so she called the police. She went overboard by calling it an emergency and ringing 3 times, she was still literally 'robbed' of a small amount of money.

Similarly, I once went to a small fish + chip restaurant and paid for food at the counter and went to sit a table to eat it. A very young 15 or 16 yo waitress came up to me and said that I had to pay 75p extra to eat in because I had bought the food from the takeaway counter (Absolutely no sign or indication that the food I had bought was for takeaway only). I ignored her and refused to pay and she said 'Then you can leave or I'll call the police'.

I had a serious WTF moment and just gave her the 75p she was asking for, but to this day, I wish I had just let her call the police.

I have never in my life seen seen another white customer inside of a KFC. Even white employees are a rare sight, for me. I have seen some Asians every now and then, but most of the time the place is full of black patrons. I am inclined to assume that any Popeyes experience I may have in the future will be very similar.

Racist? Nah. They just like their chicken.

When I last went to KFC last week, there were 3 white customers eating there, 1 black, and I was the only asian.

There are hardly ever any white staff in any of the stores, so you are right about that one.

I am a white guy who loves Popeye's. I was at popeye's the other day during the sale, and it was funny as hell. Two hour wait for chicken ftw. My wife thought I was nuts, but everyone was just hanging out and having a good time. My wife started some real fun when she spotted the phone number for Popeye's customer service on the wall. She called it to complain, and then we started passing the number around to everyone else, and they all started calling too. There was atleast a hundred people in the place at any given time. They shut the drive-thru down earlier in the day when it became insane.
