Do they put crack in KFC gravy? Because it is seriously awesome.
I actually know this one. It called crackling and it's made from the actual chicken that is cooked. It's collected from the fryer, dries out, chilled, then mixed with a type of flour.
My flatmate is a manager.

I go to KFC about once a fortnight with my little lad and the ONLY reason we go is for the gravy. Yet the past five times I've been they'd run out of it. The last time I went was just before Christmas and I pushed to the front of a very long queue and asked the girl if they had any gravy.
"Sorry, we've run out" she said.
"Quelle surprise" I replied and flounced - yes - FLOUNCED out, with her wondering what quelle surprise meant.
Seriously, I'm going to write a letter to KFC and ask them how on Earth they can run out gravy so often. Hopefully somebody will be sacked. Nothing else will satisfy my gravy rage.
I know this too. It depends on how much crackling the chicken the previous day made. If it wasn't a lot and they got a lot of customers, not a lot they can do.
They also have to stop any cooking after a certain time in order to clean.
To put it bluntly, it is honestly not their fault. I also worked for them for a couple of weeks when I was at uni and they get a harsh deal, the people who work for them. They get all the abuse of the customers who seem to forget a human being is serving them, they have to do all the cleaning as well, including sick and crap which is really nasty, and people expect them to continue cooking right up to the last minute unaware that if they did, the poor sods wouldn't get home until 6am, just in time to get up to go to work and take a delivery, stock check, and make up all the food. In my two weeks there I got the crap kicked out of me by a drunk who was angry that we ran out of legs or something (why I left) and they have to deal with drunks like that all the time. And they are just doing their jobs at the end of the day for low wages and abuse. They don't make the rules, they don't run KFC, they just get all the crap so let's just give them a break.
