I had KFC last night.  When I asked what the difference between Original
chicken and XTC was (fair question, i hadn't been there in ages) i was
told "One is Original Chicken and the other is XTC".  Ate the first bit
of chicken without problems, but the second was undercooked (ie there
was blood) so i took it back up to the counter.  A lady came over, i
explained the situation, and without her doing anything to even
acknowledge what i'd said, she walked away again to serve another
customer.  At that point, i left the tray on the counter, and walked
out.

As for Pizza Hutt, the one nearest me was closed down, despite being in
what I would consider to be a prime location.  Obviously RBD
shareholders wouldn't be told why one store was closed, but if the
rumours I heard were correct, well, it was probably the right move.

I don't know what dealing with KFC and Pizza Hutt is like in the rest of
the country.  I also see that the share price is probably on the low
side, and could go up.  At the end of the day tho, the Pizza Hutt near
me is now gone, and my first experience in KFC for ages involved
undercooked chicken, rude staff etc.  

Cheers,
Phil

(P.S    I know there is more to share analysis than dining at one location
and drawing a conclusion.  I share this tale merely because you asked if
anyone still dines there :> )
