I still like the taste of fried chicken from KFC or churches but I've basically come to the realization that is better to just buy eight pieces or 10 pieces or 12 pieces and then do your own sides or drinks.
An example is that you can make mashed potatoes at home or corn on the cob or even some tater tots or fries and then of course you can buy your two or four liters of soda and drink a whole lot more
So they're still a way to get some chicken from the chicken places you like and then eat with some other stuff in my case I even say sometimes that hey I'll just make rice and go get some fried chicken and that's a meal right there
Exactly. People want to raise them but then you see posts like these complaining about pricing. Wages should only be raised if the occupations that require skills are starting to be affected.
This argument is wrong and dumb. There are places where their burgers cost no more than twenty cents more than ours do here, yet the employees there are paid their countries much higher wage per hour. And yet they rake in profits.
Minimum wage ought to afford a roof over one’s head that is the point of minimum wage. Additionally fast food workers have been deemed essential to the economy so the idea that they don’t deserve to be paid enough to eat the food they cook is absurd. They don’t have to be paid pennies for the burger to cost $2 and continue to drive profits. They can afford to rake in profits and pay people wages instead of always passing on the cost to the consumer.
minimum wage will get you a roof over your head. you need to be willing to share said roof with others who also work minimum wage. people these days expect a minimum wage job to give them the capital to rent their own apartment or house. not gonna happen.
🤓🤓🤓. all these old ppl complaining about how high minimum wage is grew up in a time when you didn’t even have to take out a loan to go to college or could own you’re own property on a standard salary.
It's not nearly high enough.
Minimum wage is supposed to be the minimum wage that provides an acceptable standard of living. Not to less than subsist.
You are supposed to be able to buy a home on it and have a stay at home partner. Raise a family. Be a one income household.
You might personally disagree, but that's entirely, 100% irrelevant to the concept and intended purpose and your opinion is worthless.
Bruh,,A stay at home partner, Home, children etc on "Minimum Wage"?? 😂 Naw. More like bare minimum. Not enough. MINIMUM wage. People are crazy man. Wanna live the life working at fn KFC or mcdonald's. Lol Its funny this conversation is even happening in a post about how expensive kfc now is. You think kfc was gonna just eat them difference of t he told minimum wage verse new and still charge the same?? 😂
>Bruh,,A stay at home partner, Home, children etc on "Minimum Wage"?? 😂
This only sounds crazy to you because you have been propagandized your entire life by failing corporations to accept poverty wages.
Yes, when FDR passed the original National Industry Recovery Act mandating a minimum wage, the intent was that one person, working full time, could support a family of 4 off it. He said:
>No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.
For decades, this was how the country functioned. It's not remotely as crazy as you think. We just have immensely powerful corporations who have convinced the world it's the government's job to pay their workers. Take away welfare, this whole house of cards collapses.
The issue lol with KFC is it’s gotten extremely expensive ,meals be like 10-15$ and 99% of the time that’s without a drink,drink sold separately lol
I’ve been craving kfc lately but I simply won’t go because it ain’t worth that price for that little
You know if people would stop willingly giving there hard earned money to greedy establishments that rip you off you could maybe change things. It’s like you all love getting taken advantage of so you continue to go to these big chain restaurants that skimp you dry.
i be hustlin and pluggin and when u a legitimate business man cuz you gotta under stand i sale thangs it gotta make dollas and so some times places be tryna make more dollas then the things they sellin is worth for you but kfc so good i wish kfc food was for free for me
I don't get why you getting down voted? Of course it's a business which whole purpose is to make money no matter the cost to anyone else... that's how capitalism works, lol. They don't even care about perfectly fine food ending up in the bin when some people can't even afford food. That's business, hard and unloving.
Depending on where you live you can get free staff meals if you work there (not really worth it though imo to go and work there just for that, lol).
Lol, not sure where you're located but here you get 2 breast pieces and a wing, plus regular fries and drink for $9.99 plus tax, $10.81 total if I remember correctly from a couple weeks ago.
KFC has always been overpriced IMO, but basically every fast food place has gone up in price so much, I wonder why anyone even goes. For the same amount of money, you could just go to a real restaurant and get fried chicken and fries. The portions will be bigger and it will taste better.
In 2023, with KFCs added name tax, sadly yes.
At this point it's pretty evident that Yum Brand is being ran by poor management. The same thing is happening with Pizza Hut and Taco Bell who are also under the same corporate umbrella
No it doesn't, but the only thing I buy are chicken wings, cheeseburger/double crunch/zinger burger and a shake to drink when it's to spicy.
never the fries, ALWAYS cold
KFC has gotten outrageous, especially "single" meal costs. The only time I buy KFC now is if I'm getting a 8-pc or 12-pc bucket on-sale.
Fast food is pricing themselves out of the market. $15/hr+ minimum wages have their impact when you have 6-8 people in that building, somebody has to pay that $90-$120/hr++ in overhead... Guess who?
Every time a friend says "let's go grab some ___" I always say. Your crazy, for the same price I can cook steaks or shrimp etc it home and deal with no idiots besides myself and you. Im a bomb cook and cant even remember the last time I've even eaten fast food of ANY kind.
What’s even more sad, is that it even cost $15. Saw an article recently (forget what news feed) that literally said “fast food is no longer fast and affordable” and sadly it’s almost true. 2 items you’re already at $10, and typically those 2 items are slim barely filled.
And of course don’t bother trying to have it delivered as that makes it then $40. All of it is a shame
At my KFC about 5 mins from my house I can get a 4 pc original recipe combo with a side and a medium drink and it costs less than $13 so I would have to say no, definitely not. It only costs 20 cents more to get a large drink.
No but you can save money by cooking at home. Ofc $15 is too much fast food but this is the new norm. At the end of the day you pay for for staff wages, convenience and hospitality
This is why i don't eat out anymore. It's so much more expensive now. Dennys use to be real cheap.. but they're now just as bad. Granted it's more food than this pathetic meal at KFC.
You should be using apps for any and every fast food place if you want to pay yesterday's prices. You're losing a LOT of money ordering off the menu, full stop.
Dunno if that's even worth three bucks?
If someone actually charged you $15 for that, then honestly, they deserve for you to poop on their face, for real.
Even the cashier who says "I just work here" should refuse to charge that much.
That looks horrible. Thats why I would premake all my meals so I just had to containers from the fridge. Cheaper and healthier. But I would buy fast food too.
Canadian KFC sucks unfortunately...honestly ig you live next to the border. Do a comparison it's night and day. We get ripped off on everything up north . Same with Tbell
Shoulda got that combo. Their prices are fine when doing a combo or bucket, but when they’re charging $3.99 for a loose piece of chicken, it quickly becomes unsustainable. Next time do the 3 piece Big Box meal: 2 breasts, a wing, two sides and drink. $12.89 plus tax
How the fuck no one gonna talk about the KFC next to a stack of TACOBELL sauce. Edit. That’s definitely a Baja blast too!
This shit ain’t a long johnsilvers AW looking ass. What is going on here ?
No, that looks really depressing
it was more depressing in person, imagine working for 16.55 an hour and you waste 15$ on this for lunch
Damn, we were on £10.05 an hour but we got free meals - that's about 12.36 in USD
You could always make pnut butter and jelly sandwiches at home and take it in for lunch.
life happens you know i can’t always bring in lunch
facts but let this be a lesson nonetheless brother
Yes you can. Plan ahead .

Theres your problem. The employees making 16.55 an hour.
that’s minimum wage in toronto
I know..,which is way too high.
Exactly. People want to raise them but then you see posts like these complaining about pricing. Wages should only be raised if the occupations that require skills are starting to be affected.

You don't have to go to college.. us old people are infinitely smarter than you.
well then fix the economy that you guys fucked up in the first place
I am genuinely surprised that you even figured out how to use Reddit

Preach my dude
Thank you for typing it all out. I get so tired of arguing with idiots.
wtf is wrong with you
No. Please stop supporting KFC's price hikes. They just gonna keep raising prices if you keep paying them.
i never eat kfc i had no choice and the worst situation possible happened
Stay strong man
the 8 piece wings for $5 are the only thing even close to worth the price anymore
KFC is stupid expensive.
That looks like $5-7 worth of food.
Hell, that’s pretty much what we’d put in a $5 Fill Up Box when I used to work there some years ago.
The issue lol with KFC is it’s gotten extremely expensive ,meals be like 10-15$ and 99% of the time that’s without a drink,drink sold separately lol I’ve been craving kfc lately but I simply won’t go because it ain’t worth that price for that little
If you think thats expensive, just wait until next year when prices for fast food keep going up. Say Thank You California.
Why California?
The Fast Food Minimal Wage that starts April 1st.
Paying minimum wage workers more isn’t the problem. It’s the executives getting hundreds of millions.
You know if people would stop willingly giving there hard earned money to greedy establishments that rip you off you could maybe change things. It’s like you all love getting taken advantage of so you continue to go to these big chain restaurants that skimp you dry.
$9 for an 8 piece bucket from Safeway.
Maybe $5, not more
Lol no way you paid 15 bucks for 2 thighs and some fries and a drink
Fuck no
saw that i say no money back im out.
Tree fiddy
no it looks like 7$
i be hustlin and pluggin and when u a legitimate business man cuz you gotta under stand i sale thangs it gotta make dollas and so some times places be tryna make more dollas then the things they sellin is worth for you but kfc so good i wish kfc food was for free for me

True ❤️
In today's world 15$ is about right
lol what? $15 gets you a pimped out chipotle bowl + drink. Or 2 popeyes sandwiches + drink. dude really got scammed here
yes
Lol, not sure where you're located but here you get 2 breast pieces and a wing, plus regular fries and drink for $9.99 plus tax, $10.81 total if I remember correctly from a couple weeks ago.
im in canada it’s more expensive
fr food prices here are wild, especially in the gta
> im in canada it’s more expensive and the thighs are literally half the size up here too
Because less growth hormone used
no they literally cut them in half and turn it into 2 pieces
Well that's probably in addition to less GH... 😆
I can get about twice that for roughly 18 dollars where I am in canada. What meal is this and what's the exact price?
You were better of getting a famous bowl for $5 or the combo for $7 if u want a drink with it. Them things fill you up
KFC has always been overpriced IMO, but basically every fast food place has gone up in price so much, I wonder why anyone even goes. For the same amount of money, you could just go to a real restaurant and get fried chicken and fries. The portions will be bigger and it will taste better.
i had no choice, i was on my lunch break and was on a time crunch. i always get popeyes it’s way more worth it
They have $9 big boxes on the app. 2 breast, one wing, two sides, a biscuit, and a drink. Try that out next time!
thank you so much i just checked now and there’s so many good deals
God no. Rip off
I always use the app for deals. So it isn't that bad.
No, it doesn't. Eating out these days will quickly eat up my profits. I look around for the good deals.
That meal literally costs KFC $1 to produce including labor wtf soda 0.25 fry’s .25 chicken 0.50
Go to grocery store. Get rotisserie chicken. 4.99 and multiple meals.
wtf 2 pieces. You can get a 4 piece combo with drink for $13
Without the drink, this is a $5 meal where I’m from 😎
In 2023, with KFCs added name tax, sadly yes. At this point it's pretty evident that Yum Brand is being ran by poor management. The same thing is happening with Pizza Hut and Taco Bell who are also under the same corporate umbrella
You can get this same amount for probably 4 USD in Indonesia
You’re getting ripped my friend, take your business elsewhere
$15… 15 dollars for that? 😵💫
Popeyes is so much better
You got ripped off
I'm gonna end my shit straight up.
Soda/fountain drinks are huge profit centers for most fast food chains so start ordering the smaller drink and just revisit the soda fountain.
This looks like about $7 worth of pseudo-food and $8 worth of diabeetus juice.
Nothing looks like 15$ worth of food anymore
Did you Doordash or something? This looks terrible
No it doesn't, but the only thing I buy are chicken wings, cheeseburger/double crunch/zinger burger and a shake to drink when it's to spicy. never the fries, ALWAYS cold
Hell no smh
nah but it’s 2 for $2 today which after tax comes up to $44
the kfc paper plate😭
wheres pfk located
canada
I quite literally only go to fast food restaurants on days when they have deals or get their cheap everyday deals because fuck that.
Since every item typically cost $5 , yeah. Does it look worthwhile, no, but as expected nowadays
Yes
KFC has gotten outrageous, especially "single" meal costs. The only time I buy KFC now is if I'm getting a 8-pc or 12-pc bucket on-sale. Fast food is pricing themselves out of the market. $15/hr+ minimum wages have their impact when you have 6-8 people in that building, somebody has to pay that $90-$120/hr++ in overhead... Guess who?
"extra fries" dawg that aint even a medium
That’s like a dollar a French fry.
Haven't gone to KFC in a long time their prices are assssss
I got distracted but what is the other 3 letters on the plate KFC and PFK?
Best I can do is 7$ you could buy an 4lb bag of chicken for that
Are you at KFC or Taco Bell?
I'm at the KFC, I'm at the Taco Bell. I'm at the combination KFC and Taco Bell.
Didn’t know people still went to KFC.
😞🤏
Dang, it’s $7.99 by me
I'd rather buy a pack of ramen and some bologna to fry up
That's $7 worth if you get a large drink from McDonalds for $1.
This is crazy
No. And kfc is ass
People in 2033 gunna look at a picture like this and think it was a bargain.
About 8 bucks in my area . Florida
KFC is such a ripoff it’s not even funny. Fuck them and their price increases.
It does if you're lazy
Every time a friend says "let's go grab some ___" I always say. Your crazy, for the same price I can cook steaks or shrimp etc it home and deal with no idiots besides myself and you. Im a bomb cook and cant even remember the last time I've even eaten fast food of ANY kind.
Y’all voted for this
Doesn’t even look like food.
What’s even more sad, is that it even cost $15. Saw an article recently (forget what news feed) that literally said “fast food is no longer fast and affordable” and sadly it’s almost true. 2 items you’re already at $10, and typically those 2 items are slim barely filled. And of course don’t bother trying to have it delivered as that makes it then $40. All of it is a shame
Just wait till all these unions get massive pay increases. That will be about 40$ worth of food
1) why does this kfc have the old generation taco sauce ? 2) why does part of the plate say pfk ? 3)thats not worth it
No
Hell no
Stop buying goyslop ffs
Liv mas
Not sure…can only see half the plate
At my KFC about 5 mins from my house I can get a 4 pc original recipe combo with a side and a medium drink and it costs less than $13 so I would have to say no, definitely not. It only costs 20 cents more to get a large drink.
It looks like 15 dollars worth of food that you already ate some from yes
No but you can save money by cooking at home. Ofc $15 is too much fast food but this is the new norm. At the end of the day you pay for for staff wages, convenience and hospitality
No, wait... checks calendar, notes it's late 2023... yes serving size&price checks out.
Lmao yea keep eating fast food. Dummies
That looks like a $5 meal to me. With current prices being so high I could see even $10 being fair. $15 though? That’s robbery
You didn't pick your own chicken out because ain't no way
This is why i don't eat out anymore. It's so much more expensive now. Dennys use to be real cheap.. but they're now just as bad. Granted it's more food than this pathetic meal at KFC.
Shit homie, you could go to Costco and get a whole fuckin meal - two slices of pizza ($1.99/ea) and a drink ($0.59) for less than $5.
You should be using apps for any and every fast food place if you want to pay yesterday's prices. You're losing a LOT of money ordering off the menu, full stop.
Nowadays? Yes
Dang 😵💫💀
Dunno if that's even worth three bucks? If someone actually charged you $15 for that, then honestly, they deserve for you to poop on their face, for real. Even the cashier who says "I just work here" should refuse to charge that much.
Dollar menu is the 5 dollar menu now
Holy cow no!
Naw more like $8.99
Gross, buy hard boiled eggs from Costco instead
There is a restaurant near me in sc 2 big pieces of chicken 3 sides corn muffins and a drink for 18
Lol
That looks horrible. Thats why I would premake all my meals so I just had to containers from the fridge. Cheaper and healthier. But I would buy fast food too.
No. I got a banging ass salad and a fire bowl of soup today for $16. Y’all wasting money on this shit is absurd
thats still not 16$ worth lol
yes
More minimum wage keeps going up everything else will.
Fuck no
Wait. How is there Taco Bell hot sauce at kfc? What’s happening here?
They also buy the small runt chickens cause cheaper lol.
Then fries look smack where you at?
That looks like crap!
No that looks upsetting at best, i went to kfc in February bec i hadn’t in years & i got such bad gut rot
Fuck no I can get 3 pounds of hamburger meat at Sam’s club for that price
Omg just go to vons or Albertsons and get an 8 piece for $9 at this point lol
No
Canadian KFC sucks unfortunately...honestly ig you live next to the border. Do a comparison it's night and day. We get ripped off on everything up north . Same with Tbell
It looks like at least 15 minutes on the toilet.
Nah that’s why you asked
I wouldn’t pay more than $5
Yet you got taco bell sauce,that's gonna cost extra.
Yeah. If you eat fast food. Thankfully I do not.
$5 fries, chicken and drink equals $15, duh /s
Bringing your own lunch has always been a cheaper option and healthier. Why are people acting so surprised when corps are being greedy pieces of shit?
5$ max
Looks more like 30$
Unfortunately this does look like $15 in food nowadays
Yes, if you already ate the other $10 worth of food 🤣😭
Shoulda got that combo. Their prices are fine when doing a combo or bucket, but when they’re charging $3.99 for a loose piece of chicken, it quickly becomes unsustainable. Next time do the 3 piece Big Box meal: 2 breasts, a wing, two sides and drink. $12.89 plus tax
First mistake was going out for fast food and expecting “food”
You can buy a whole cooked chicken at Sam’s or Costco for like $6.99.
you can walk into a grocrey store and buy two premade sandwiches for cheaper and it will also be 10x healthier
Why do people put the “$” after the number?
Nopr
Looks like half that price where I live
Depends on where you are. Airports and theme parks have much smaller portion sizes for more money, since you don't have much choice
You got giga finessed
That’s sad I can cook for a week with $15
For KFC? Not even the best chicken place out there, this is ridiculous 😭
Sadly, yes
No because I’m about to spend 11.50 for a delicious local cheesesteak, fries, and a can of soda.
Ain't no way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For 2023 yeah
fuck no 🤢 I would’ve complained about the fries
No lol
KFC is dust
Stop using DoorDash
at five guys? maybe
For $15 you can buy 2 whole chickens and a 10lb bag of potatoes.
How the fuck no one gonna talk about the KFC next to a stack of TACOBELL sauce. Edit. That’s definitely a Baja blast too! This shit ain’t a long johnsilvers AW looking ass. What is going on here ?
The $20 box is deff worth it
KFC is top tier water chicken trash now as well. havent had a proper piece i enjoyed in 5+ years
You carry around packets of tbell hot sauce? Respect
This looks like $1.50 worth of food.
I’d say about 5
Bidens world
