KFC @ i-City Shah Alam

This is like the 3rd post on KFC.
I didn't even put up one about the incident where their workers squeezed dirty dishcloth water into a container of chicken that they were deep frying.
Even before any clarification,netizens were quick to condemn and come to a conclusion just based on the initial clip posted by one party (let's call him The Chicken Provocateur shall we?)

Check this clip for how the Chicken Provocateur aka the Last Minute Discount Coupon Redeemer started the outburst

CLIP 1 -PRODUCT OF TIGER MOM REARING

which eventually led to this worldwide watched newspiece

CLIP 2 - PRODUCT OF REMPIT MOVIES

and his subsequent police report plus DAP aided press conference

NEWS CONFERENCE - THE ONLY SEXCITING ACTIVITY FOR DAP

Look at it this way,
in the second video,notice an ang moh was there.And he didn't do anything or come to his defence.Instead he just stood where he was,not lifting a finger to assist the moron.
Speaks volumes about the 'victim'.
I strained my ears trying to hear what the Chicken Provocateur was screaming at the top of his lungs but it was barely audible since he hadn't had his drumstick yet that day.
At a certain point it's as if he were straining to lay some eggs.


Bottomline is......he was plain rude,acted like a hysterical brat.
Next,the underpaid sweatshop working condition (now suspended)KFC louts,couldn't contain their anger.

Though this is an international franchise,in Malaysia their workers get measly lousy wages somewhere in the region of  USD1.33 per hour,and a useless tiny meal with an even tinier drink only after HOURS of labour put in.
I heard that Mc Donalds pays their part time workers even less...USD 1.28
Seeing that they are getting such pathetic salaries,it's no surprise they won't mind getting fired.
So don't be stupid and think you can get away with harassing such workers.They don't care two hoots if they lose their jobs.What's there for them to look forward to anyway?
You tell me honestly.
From what I understand,some of these crap operators are even contracting Indonesian full time staff and getting away with paying them $300 per month only.
This is so,so wrong.

Notwithstanding,fastfood outlet managers are constantly yelled at,and threatened by the big bosses to keep losses down and profits up,so much so that they tend to get paranoid about not having any wastage or expired stock at the end of the day.
Naturally it's the frontline that is forced to face the fury of the coupon and couponless crowd.

If you want to vent your anger,write nasty love letters to,pelt their HQ with tomatoes or hold placards outside to embarass and harass their management team these are the correct places to do it
Mc D's :
Golden Arches Restaurants Sdn Bhd,Bangunan TH,Uptown Damansara 3,PJ
KFC & Pizza Hut :
Wisma KFC,Jln Sultan Ismail

All these are partially contributory factors that led to much commented and publicised clips.

In all probability, he will be compensated as he has DAP bigot lawyers on his side.
Though he didn't expect both parties outburst to be recorded,what a looser...is all I can say.

Moral of the story....please do not claim your coupons last minute when the general mindset is "ala...relak la....."

Also,fastfood operators in the country should be more humane to their staff,give them their dues ,but most important of all have a heart and FEED THEM PROPERLY for the hours they put in,or you might find yourself in the news for all the wrong reasons
