KFC

Staff is so nice here. I don't know what management is doing, but I've never been to a KFC with such great staff. Food is consistent.

I came in there yesterday for some comfort food, however, I wasn't quite ready for a full lunch meal. I ended up ordering a couple of biscuits, and this seemed to do the trick. I was there at around 10:30am when they first opened and there weren't that many people in the place. I received the biscuits fast, and I managed to eat them all. The Cashier was friendly and professional.

My car window doesn't roll down anymore. No, that is a blatant lie. It might still roll down. Now up, it definitely won't go up anymore.

So the lady who handed me my bucket of chicken, she was so kind and considerate in the speed of her reaction. I felt absolved of the sin and shame of being subhuman filth with some toxic inner perversity worth my segregation from the good people of the world, because my car isn't as nice as theirs. She pitched the bucket over the door as i began opening it, and lowered it gently into my grasp. Some other time, maybe i will tell you all about the time i broke down weeping eating alone inside a McDonald's at 4 in the morning.

I don't think the food is that bad, or anything. At least i think in one way, from one perspective it means well. You can see the harm and the pain and the poverty every time you walk into a place like that, sure. But it's elitist and shallow to blame the food. The people who make it, most of them are really making an honest effort.

Really, it is our fault collectively as a society for not caring about each other as we do for ourselves.

But it's just chicken. It isn't bad for what it is.

I mean, unless you are a chicken alien or chicken angel or chicken ghost, and your animate spirit was injured by this earthly human perpetrated chicken genocide. People eat a lot of chickens, you know! Really quite an absurd number every year. Too many, honestly. But i can't blame a business for trying to survive. Maybe a sentient chicken could, though. They definitely might have more legal standing to.

KFC for me is a hit-or-miss kind of a place. If you get freshly cooked chicken it's pretty good, but if it's been sitting a while, it's not. The sides are not bad, and it is fine for a quick meal. This place, on Lee Highway in Arlington VA is clean and well managed---pretty much as good as KFC gets.
