But yeah, that reporter "on the scene" was a bit giddy and condescending. Not exactly Peabody Material... I loved when that one dude got on the phone and was like, "Yes, I want to talk to you about one of your franchises" - that actually might get results, as someone can be a complete jackass to the staff and/or miss out on something due to their own issue (not saying that dude was) and end up getting free food. You know, yeah, the coverage of that KFC Deal for free chicken last week on another Fox affiliate was terrible, too. Honestly, most of those commercials and coupons say "at participating stores only", and I learned at a very young age (in different situations) to read the fine print. However, if you're the only store of its kind in a large area, I can see where some of the upset comes from.
