well I was going to post a whole lot [most of which I think are funny] but figured that would get pulled so why bother ...
anyhow, the bank ran out credit cards so don't take loss of sales personally ... can't use cards if banks don't have any left ... my membership runs out and there's no way I'm paying full prices in here.

How does a bank run out of credit cards???
Was thinking the same thing, then again, I don't use credit cards anymore, LOL.
I haven't been in the PC for awhile now and I rarely pay full price unless I need it ASAP for a project.
went to KFC once and they had run out of chicken!
They really have to be the only fast food restaurant where that happens... That seems to happen routinely, and the stay open with just beans and mashed potatoes left... Like WTF, did a cruise ship just stop by? How do you sell out a whole store?
That never stopped me... But a bank running out of credit cards is good material... Ours runs out of coffee... They have a K-cup coffee station by the door and either random people come by and just have coffee there or they put two K-cups out per week just to maintain the appearance of a working coffee station.
They did plan ahead, but they counted their chickens before the eggs hatched.
Co-worker tells me she stopped at their local Dunkin Donuts recently. They were out of doughnuts.
Is it just me but KFC has some very small chickens,big breasts but all the other parts seem to be small ........Churches Chicken ,has much bigger parts ........
It would seem that I left out a word "gift" ... it was the Royal Bank and they ran out of "VISA gift cards". They are waiting for a shipment.
In the meantime I've been wiling away some time converting legacy figures to triax models, figures like the MilDog.
Years ago when there was one around, KFC ran out of white meat. Eventually they basically ran out of business. Funny restaurant in said location now. They have had a sign up [and have been told by countless folk it's not a good idea but ...] telling people that the property is PRIVATE. It is a sign suitable for a private home, not a business needing customers to come onto their property. So many of their customers park their cars elsewhere upsetting other shops because their customers have nowhere to park. Technically even walking onto their property and into their restaurant is a no-no because private is private; not for the public. Strange place. [and yes I asked them and yes they DO want customers]
OOOooo Yep adding "gift" card makes much more sense now .......
Yeah, me and one of my daughters refer to them as KFP... P is pigeon. The other girl loves their grilled chicken, so we still get it every now and then, but seriously I'm so done with that place and the long waits for tiny sparrow parts... Three and a quarter inches is not a normal drumstick (average size and not a the wing drumstick or whatever that part is called)... (And yes I do measure and weigh stuff when I see things like that). I could literally make a whole comedy bit based on stuff that has happen to me in those places over the years, including one in the drive through (where my 1972 Pontiac Catalina had to drive over their shrubbery because the radius of the turn on their new improved drive tru could only accommodate really small cars)... But the whole attempted transaction was basically the cheese shop bit from Monty Python, only with a NYC twist.
Not my sob story but I've seen houses that have this problem.
The truly loathsome KFCs have Taco Hell bundled with them.
I work for a company that makes processed cheese products. Guess what they've run out of before? Many more times than once!
The old inventory staff, "left for other opportunities."
I really love "Popeye's" chicken. Lots of them down south, but the closest place up here is in Cleveland 2 & 1/2 hours away.
Why can't I order it from Amazon? 
Our local Popeye's closed
Maybe people didn't like the spinach? ;-)
I have a friend who developed a three legged chicken with the thought of making a bundle by selling to KFC..
only problem was, they ran to fast and he couldn't catch them
We have Bojangles down where I am now. They have the biggest most 'roided out chickens I've ever seen, they're like 1980's East German Womens Wrestling Team Chickens made from mostly grease. We also have ChickFilet which is some kind of hate group that may worship cows but hate all they want, they make a honey of a chicken samich! My nephew on Long Island told me KFC can no longer use the word "chicken" in their name for legal reasons because they grow whatever they are now in a test tube -There's my next Halloween theme freebie btw!
We also have a plethora of BBQ places that almost always feature a cartoon pig smiling on a plate as if he could not be happier than to be thrown over a pyre of hickory and devoured by a family leaving in a rush to get a good parking spot at the dirt track. Them skool bussus smash up real good! Whoo-Wee!
eeewwww Sounds like the makings for a horror film.
Not really new concept either...they used to have rallys or whatever you call them in front of the KFC in the city with bunch of signs and people trying to convert people away from the lab grown meat.
hmmm,,I wonder how far away from an all purpose "food" product we are
I envision something like "bachelor chow" from futurama LOL
