KFC took swift action after consumers went into a state of panic, over the weekend after images and a video emerged of staff hosing down chicken, thinking that they could have been served the chicken.
“We want our customers to know that we take this very seriously and have taken action to make sure this does not happen again,” said Smart.
The Braamfontein restaurant was temporarily closed to get to the bottom of the incident. KFC also took to social media and ran a full page print advertisement to apologise to
Have you ever met someone who hates Chick-Fil-A? Probably not, right? Chick-Fil-A’s success in this area is all thanks to it’s founder, Truett Cathy. In his autobiography, Eat Mor Chikin® Inspire More People, Cathy explains how he came from humble beginnings, but rose up to create millions and billions of dollars in the fast food industry. His business ideas are all fairly simple, but revolutionary. Values he has put in place have built the company up to be extraordinary. This book was entertaining: he described the precedent that CFA would only hire people who deserved the job and could do it well, how he ensured that the company was privately owned so the owners would care about it as much as he did, and how he ensured his company would give back to the community and to God the blessings they have received. I think this is a great book for anyone, especially for someone who adores Chick-Fil-A like me!
Marine Coles ranked KFC’s fast food restaurants with a 69/100. She says, “KFC’s food quality and freshness, its value, and the cleanliness of it’s dining area all got bad reviews. The chain which has famously sold its fried chicken in buckets since 1950’s has restaurants throughout the country.” Personal experience has shown an unclean dining area with flies, employees not wearing gloves and handling food, and restrooms with trash on the floor and un sanitized toilets. I’ve also received incomplete or totally wrong orders.
Valerie I agree that it is wise to have faith in God even from a business standpoint. It is often hard in today’s society though to put God first in the decision making. I remember back in 2012 when Chick-fil-A was going through a hard time because one of the chief operating officers (Dan Cathy) made a remark about opposing same-sex marriage. He has his right to state an opinion but having friends that are lesbian and gay I had to side with my friends. The remarks seemed to come from a place of hate and he offended so many people by his statement. I do believe that Christians should not hide their beliefs but sometimes in a business setting one person who states an opinion could wreck the business and ultimately leave a Christian owned company
I really enjoyed my visit to Buffalo Wild Wings the other day. I'm a huge sports fan and I really enjoyed that they had tons of televisions and an assortment of different games playing on all of them. My girlfriend is not a huge sports fan, but I know she enjoyed the trip as well.
To get that burger masterpiece, cows are often stuffed in small spaces to trot along in their own feces and urine and fed corn that “they are not designed by evolution to eat” (Food Inc.). It is scientifically proven that corn results in E. coli in cows because they are not wired to eat it, they are wired to eat grass. Many cows who are “too ill or lame to walk…are brutalized [in-order] to get them to their feet for slaughter” (Food Inc.). Even if you prefer chicken sandwiches. Did you know that many chickens are often stuffed in dark pens their whole lives and fed chemically stained corn so they may grow quicker and fatter. Many of these chickens die because their bones can not support their rapidly growing bodies. In the documentary, it displays an interview from a Tyson chicken farmer who said that the chickens he owns have “never [seen] sunlight… and are pretty much in the dark all the time” (Food Inc.). Another of the farmers they interviewed compared the chicken industry to “mass production, like an assembly line in a factory”. After the animals are slaughtered, it goes down the assembly line where the meats are packed and ready to go for our mouths to eat, whether it be restaurants or
“Chick-Fil-A has experienced more than 10% sales increase almost every year since launching in 1946 and their franchisees retention rate has been 96% for nearly 50 years.” (Kurse, 2015).

Kroc and McDonald's have employed TV advertisements aimed towards children, satellites, spyware, and technology in the kitchen to maximize profits. Meanwhile, the meatpacking industry has ignored sanitary issues causing E coli, such as fecal matter discovered in ground beef, ruptured stomach contents, and contaminated feedlots, instead utilizing irradiation to ignore the problem, which may cause it to rise in severity. The meatpacking industry and Kroc has confirmed the suspicions that they are in business for profit, not for improving

Every year in America half the male layers chickens nearly 250 million, which serve no roles they were being destroyed’’ (Foer 48).
