KFC needs to stop giving out coupons because they suck at it

Anali reports on how she got shut out at the KFC on Hancock Street in Quincy today:
... There is food there and I can see it. They are giving it to people in front of me. It was almost my turn at the register when the man at the counter announced that the coupons weren't being accepted anymore. Anyone with a coupon would have to fill out a rain check form with their name and address and a coupon would be mailed to them. WTF!!?? They have got to be kidding!! Why should anyone have to give their personal information.
When they partnered up with Oprah, they should have anticipated huge numbers. They should have been ready. None of this should have surprised them. What kind of bait and switch is this? ...

Wasn't this same thing in
Wasn't this same thing in the news elsewhere within the last few weeks?
I have a suspicion that KFC people above the level of individual restaurants don't hold their customers in high regard.
Pure chaos

Its been pure chaos across the country, so much so that they have even run out of the grilled chicken at the regional level so there is no possibility of immediate distribution (article does not state this, I got that from somewhere else.) What is amazing is that the company seems amazed that someone with such a large audience of people on moderate incomes would be able to mobilize millions of people in the quest for free food...

Does this mean there's going to be a mass slaughter of chickens? Where's PETA? How many more must die??
