I'm talking about the Techonmart location. You know, the place that might fall down at any time? Whenever I've tried to order anything other than a sandwich, they say, "It'll be 10 minutes." I order anyway, and tell them I'll be happy to wait. Twice, after 10 minutes, they said, "We're sorry, 10 more minutes. Would you like a sandwich?"

Oh, by the way, Baskin Robbins has no Banana Splits, either. That one really angers me.

You live in a country with the best fried chicken on Earth. I'm sure you can find an alternative.

I don't know why anyone would eat at Popeyes in Korea. It's terrible.

Fixed it. Or, replace "Popeye's" with "any fast food location on earth".

when i lived in korea kfc never had original recipe chicken -they always said it would take 15 minutes-so after a while i started saying I would wait and then they would get a funny look on their faces. I would then say so you lied about having it in 15 minutes and they would never face up to the lie.

Kfc without the original recipe is like mcdonalds without fries.

McDonalds fries aren't that great but i get the analogy Wink

actually Burger King has better or more crispy fries and Wendy's has a bit more fresh ones


here in the States, i'm living in a place where some places are rural and 10 minutes DOES mean 10 mins or so but it usually taste better

i was surprised when i went on a road trip to CA and stopped by a really rural KFC and they had by far the best tasting Hot Wings i've had in a while, the grease it was fried in you could tell wasn't used very much

Back in Canada now, but it reminded me of the time I went drive-thru McDonald's here to get a smoothie, and was greeted with "Welcome to McDonald's we currently have no fries". Guess it was a good thing I didn't want fries lol.

Also went to Arby's once a few years ago, and they were "out of beef". About 90% of their menu is their beef.
