To expect a dip of my choice

46 replies

TiggyD · 10/11/2011 20:55

AIBU to expect to be offered the dip of my choice when I get a Kenfucky Tried Chicken meal? The menu says I get a dip. I have never been asked if I want a dip, ever! I always have to ask for my dip. Is there a policy of withholding dips unless they are specifically asked for in order to save money? Luckily, the staff are usually so shocked at the temerity of the customer asking for what he paid for they tend to give out large handfuls of dips (in sachets. Not literal handfuls) (yuk!) so when I forget to ask I always have my spare dip supply to dip into. But I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ASK. It is my human right to my choice of dip. It is not a luxury. I'm a customer which means I'm always right. They wouldn't treat the Queen like they treat me. I bet every KFC has a selection of exotic dips kept in seal skin sachets just on the off chance Her Maj fancies an emergency Boneless Banquet, and they'll shower her with them. They'll give her so much dip she'll be able to bathe in the stuff. If you think I'm being unreasonable you're obviously sucking up to the queen or something. Maybe she lets you dunk in her used dip bath afterwards or something? Maybe KFC have got to you already?! Maybe you're all in league with the dip abusers at KFC?!! First they stop giving out dip! Then they take all your details when you pay by card!! Then they're after some kind of tissue sample from you!!! They'll try to suck out the part of you brain that controls dips!!!! Holy Fuck!!!! That's what all their straws are for!!!!! Run everybody!!!!! KFC want to suck out you brains!!!!! And you thought it was zombies you had to worry about!!!!!!!!

Anyway. I want to be offered a fucking dip next time I go.

eminencegrise · 10/11/2011 22:50

Boak! Why on Earth would anyone eat in a roach house like KFC?

Bleurgh @KFC.

Haven't eaten there since someone told me about a friend of theirs who ended up in A&E after eating a KFC that went 'pop' in her mouth, turned out to be an infected chicken abscess

I realise the 'friend of a friend' scenario is most likely an urban myth but I for one am NOT willing to take the risk.

feckfeckfeckfeck · 10/11/2011 23:00

x-posted with TE.
Who'd have thought two people would be posting completely different 'urban myth' 'friend of a friend' stories about the rancidity of KFC at the same moment? Grin

BertieBotts · 10/11/2011 23:01

The Kenfucky Fucking Cunts.

I have a cupboard full of spare MCDonald's dips as well because they are lazy McBastards. They don't even give you dips unless you specifically ask with the Chicken Selects meal, which, IMO, a vital component is the dip. In fact that's their main selling point. They even have specially created dips! But do I ever get one? :(

BertieBotts · 10/11/2011 23:02

Infected chicken abscess? Hmm, not sure about that one! Could believe the mouse story. And we've all seen the chicken head photo.

geraldinetheluckygoat · 10/11/2011 23:05

Op, your op was genius. So, even though KFC are a bunch of motherfucking Dip Withholders, take heart in the fact that you made me laugh, ok? Grin

geraldinetheluckygoat · 10/11/2011 23:07

Also hahaha at Bertiebots Lazy McBastards GrinGrinGrinGrin

pushmepullyou · 10/11/2011 23:07

I have a friend of a friend with a chicken abscess experience too Shock

Either RL and mumsnet have just collided (albeit in a very minor way) or it is indeed an urban myth

pushmepullyou · 10/11/2011 23:08

Or, even worse, there could be more than one of them Envy (that's a sick emoticon btw)

BertieBotts · 10/11/2011 23:16

It must be bollocks. How would an abscess stay intact through the chicken being killed, being plucked, being pulled apart into various joints, probably skinned, then coated and cooked? No way. If it was anything it was a pocket of boiling oil in the crispy coating (though the coating's not even solid enough for this).

All the Pizza Huts near me do Takeaway and Delivery. Certainly not different franchises unless they cut the kitchen in half.

I work for Pizza Hut. It is certainly a separate business. Christy.

ShadowsCollideWithPeople · 11/11/2011 03:01

Hehehe - mrsmaltesers, I don't know if this was your intention, but I am now singing 'chips, dips, chains and whips' aloud to the tune of 'Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves'. DP is looking at me like I have finally lost it.

OP, I feel your pain. We often occasionally treat ourselves to a pizza from the local pizza place, and always order loads of extra garlic and herb dips. We get it delivered, for laziness convenience, and the bastards always charge us for them, and then leave them out of our delivery. Sorry, but pizza crusts without garlic dip? Unthinkable. The feckers are clearly out to get me. Grrrr.

TheSkiingGardener · 11/11/2011 06:30

The pizza hut restaurant near us that delivers always put the dips in the pizza box holes, then put the pizzas to keep warm. Hot dips with slightly melted plastic anyone?

MilkNoSugarPlease · 11/11/2011 08:01

I'm still annoyed at KFC for only doing Light mayo sachets....they're utterly rank!! I want their mayo dip pots back!!

TiggyD · 11/11/2011 10:00

I couldn't find any email address for KFC so I just posted on their Facebook page. Here

"Where are my dips KFC?! Every time I get a meal advertised as having a dip with them I have to ask for a dip. Is there a policy of dip withholding in order to save money or something? I shouldn't have to ask to get what I paid for. You must be sitting on a huge pile of dips somewhere. Are you planning something evil with them? Holding the world to ransom with some type of massive dip bomb? "

TiggyD · 11/11/2011 10:01

Blimey! They took that off quick!

TiggyD · 11/11/2011 10:15

Result.

"KFC United Kingdom & Ireland- Hi Tiggy - you'll be glad to hear we're not building a dip bomb, or any other weapon of mass deliciousness. If you'd like to talk to our customer service team, please give them a call on..."

YANBU OP, I personally am fucked off that KFC have stopped giving the pots of dip and use the poncey little sachets instead. How dare they!

I am very particular about dips, in KFC or Burger King I only like the BBQ dips, but in McD's it's got to be sweet curry. [grin}
