KFC SCREWS UP FREE PROMOTION
Issuing Rain Checks For Grilled Chicken Meal
By Mark Hallburn

Nothing tastes better than free!

Earlier this week, we                                 told you that Kentucky                               Fried Chicken was                                       giving out free meals.                                  We provided a link to                                   an online coupon for a                                  two-piece grilled                                      chicken meal.

Now we get to tell you                                 that you must wait for                                    that free meal. In a                                     promotion that's going                                 to go down in history                                 with "New Coke," KFC                                   is now issuing "Rain                                  Checks" because it ran                                out of free chicken-                                nationwide.

Apparently some                                        genius in the KFC                                      Marketing Department                                didn't count on people                               wanting free food during a recession when millions of people are  out of work and millions more have taken pay cuts, furloughs, or wage freezes.

KFC President Roger Eaton has issued the following apology, and Putnam County KFC Restaurants, in Hurricane and Teays Valley, assured PutnamLIVE.com that they will have enough free chicken to honor the coupons-after Mother's Day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the interesting part: The Putnam County KFC's weren't actually out of free chicken. Friday evening they were willing to sell the two-piece meal for $3.99. They just weren't honoring the free coupon. When we asked to speak to a district manager, we were told he wasn't in until next week. Is all of this ethical? We'll let you decide.
