The Perth Thread

Well the majority of people going to KK aren't going to be the walking type

Hard to be when your feet fall off.

How much is it these days? I havent been since a primary school excursion back when it was underwater world

It's $30 for an adult, $22 if you carry a student or other concession card.

It's always been expensive. I don't think the price has risen a lot, if at all, since when we last went 10-ish years ago. I remember we got a family ticket one year 'cos we seemed to be going quite a lot but I don't think we got good value out of the ticket because it was such a pain dragging young kids around all the time.

I have to admit I walked inside and observed the service to see if it was worth it, and they have this practice of only one person behind the counter who serves a customer and then goes away to prepare that order in its entirety before serving the next.

As this was Livingston the only other decent options were Subway and Oporto so I went to the latter in the end, where there was no queue, but the extra $3 for average saucy piri piri chicken was worth avoiding KFC when in the mood for poultry.

I don't know why KFC is so damned slow. How hard can it be to cook a few hundred chickens??

In the past, I've waited at least 45mins inside the store to be served and to receive my meal. Chicken Treat is a lot faster, Hungry Jacks and McDonalds can do a meal in minutes... why the eff can't KFC move customers through faster? (btw- the stores I went to were one at the top of North Lake Rd where it hits the Canning Hwy and the other was out in South Lake).

I remember Underwater World being amazing when I was a kid. I went in 2013 and it just didn't hold the same appeal as an adult.

LOL Alfred Cove KFC. They suuuuuuuck.

I'm pretty sure all you need to do is take stuff from the heating rack and put it in a cardboard box. Shouldn't be as hard as they make it.

Without hyperbole it's the worst service of any fast food outlet ever.

Yep. I reckon you could starve to death waiting for your food at those places!

I actually think that half of the time they take to serve the customers is spent chasing the chickens out the back and plucking the feathers. I really do believe that their chickens are freshly killed on site!

The life of having an intolerance to poultry is sometimes so good but at other times so s**t.

That's it, may as well shut down this thread, it can't get any better than this.

Good old Canning Vale.

Where the queues for a KFC restaurant are like thisView attachment 149635

If KKs is anything like this then I would rather make my own donuts or get them from 7 eleven.

Haha that must've been a good night it's not normally that short. Been there before when it's like that and I just parked and walked in and was served straight away. Meanwhile the drivethru line hadn't moved at all.

 

[Beerfish]

Looking at moving to Perth with the company I work for around Xmas time. Should be a good change.
Any tip/suggestions? Was looking into Subiaco at this stage.

Yeah don't!

 

[Forward Press]

Yeah don't!

More jelly in this post than a Cottee's factory.

I agree with Beerfish - I would be looking more at Shenton Park or West Leederville than Subiaco if I was looking around that area.

I meant Perth itself actually. Maybe that's where the confusion is coming from.

Oh well then I'm with forward press - cottees time it is

But I was born in Perth and have lived here for nigh on 40 years. I'm not jelly. I know what I'm talking about.

Then why haven't you moved

It's really only gone to complete s**t in the last 5 to 10 years. Believe me I'm seriously considering it but unfortunately I'm stuck here for now due to personal circumstances.

Fair enough - I hope it works out for you

It will eventually but thanks.

Because of the price of living and other expenses? Or...

Genuinely curious as to what has made you tip over the edge.

Yes and yes along with traffic congestion (both human and vehicular), lack of adequate infrastructure, lack of things to do. Have had enough. Perth doesn't have enough good stuff going for it to make up for all the negatives.
