TL;DR: rating is for service more-so than the food. Make sure to pick up your online order on time or arrive a bit early because someone else might know your first name, last initial, and take your order!
Food is average as you would get at any KFC. But who doesn't love KFC? Now, go get yourself a bucket!

Long story:
I just started doing UberEats on the weekends for some extra income to support myself while I go back to school.
This is my 3rd day delivering and came across an issue at this location. Nothing with UberEats of course, but with my own personal order.
I was getting ready to head back home for the morning and take a lunch break. I saw that KFC had a deal for the "free" 8pc bucket w/$15 purchase, so I placed an order at 12:11pm. Shortly received an email confirming the order. At the same time I got an order pickup request from UberEats. Since KFC mentioned it would take 20-30mins for the order, I went ahead and accepted the delivery request. Walked inside and picked it up for 2 customers at 12:20pm. Delivered the food to the 2 customers in the pocket area and West Sacramento.
I arrived back to this KFC about 45 mins later, to pick up my order or so I thought, only for the employees to look at me like I'm crazy saying that the order was picked up already. Yes I know my food would have been cold but I was going home anyway. Anyway, I told them I ordered it through the KFC app, not the delivery apps, and the manager (older gentleman), I'm assuming, confirmed. I was dumbfounded at how this can even happen cause he said that the lady came through the drive thru and mentioned my first name and last initial, which he said she said it all correctly, so they gave her the order. He mentioned how he was surprised that she even got the last name initial correct. Which, who would have guessed in all 26 letters, the correct letter also? That person should go play the lottery! Might get lucky!
And to clear some things up, nobody that I knew, knew I was going to be in the area, let alone order from this KFC at this specific time frame. I don't even live in this area. It's either a coincidence or something is going on behind the scenes! Gotta review the drive-thru footage for this one, lol! Anyway, enough detective work.
I would have given a 1 star for this encounter or no stars as I would have not been able to get my food that I paid for. Since the manager, or older gentleman, was able to get me my order reimbursed/corrected, I added an extra star.
If it wasn't for his customer service, I don't know what I would have done! Gotta go to the KFC police I guess, but small fish here. So, thank you for helping this small fish figure things out as well, sir.
Lesson learned for me today! Thank you for that! read more
