kfc fines woman for taking too long to eat

Fast food fan Natalie Jackson was hit with a $264 fine at KFC — for staying too long gorging on a monster-sized “family bucket.”

The British trainee nurse and a pal ordered 14 chicken pieces, six bags of fries and large cokes after driving to their local branch.

They spent an hour and a half eating the 5,456-calorie feast. A few days later, KFC regular Jackson got the fine in the mail for breaking the restaurant parking lot’s 75-minute limit.

“It’s disgusting. I spend a lot of money in there. Now I’m never going back,” the 24-year-old fumed Wednesday.

Jackson — who eats at KFC three times a week — complained to the restaurant that she was unaware of signs warning of the time limit in Huddersfield, West Yorks.

The mega bucket cost her $22.

Jackson said that she doesn’t plan on paying the fine.

“It didn’t feel like I was in there all that long. We were hungry.”

A KFC spokesman said: “The 75-minute time limit is designed to accommodate our customers who generally eat for about 30 minutes.”

Well it's not her parking lot. Drive your lazy ### home and eat there.

Better yet, try cooking your own food.

How is that a news story? The case isn't criminal, it's not case of injustice (Like being fined because you for example ovestayed a parking limit at a hospital while your relative undergoes some emergency surgery) and it's not particularly intersting. It's simply some greedy woman who intends to flout a perfectly reasonable law just because she can't be bothered to read the signs that are presumably entirely visible in the parking lot. Does she expect sympathy? If so, why?

I'd say so!

I think I've found the answer to why the chicken crossed the road.

To avoid being thrown in the bucket?

Eating that much 3 times a week! Maybe its a good idea she stop going there.

And she's a nurse trainee, too. She should know better! How can patients take her seriously??

What a sad (and sad-looking) woman at only 24.

She looks pissed - I'd be pissed too.. have a feeling there'll be a few KFC/Yum Brand Gift Cards in her mailbox soon...

Well getting a $264 fine should be her "wake-up" call to stop eating there and start losing weight, count it as a warning to your health!
