Yep max allow print is 4. Hope Oprah doesn't call about her coupon printer software...

KFC was giving away free samples of this new Grilled Chicken this coupon is for and I can say it is really tasty! LJ's and KFC are the only fast grub i go to a few times a year. It gets tougher all the time to put up with the ignorance behind the cashier or drivethru these days... ;)

I changed the # of copies to 5 and it printed fine. I'm lucky, there's a KFC about 5 blocks away.

I know what you mean, My son and I went to another FFood joint a couple of weeks ago. I placed the order for my son and myself to eat in and an order for my wife to go. He could't get it through his head to ring it up all together and just bag up the part of the order that was to go. :shock: He said he would have to ring them up seperate. I was paying with my debit card and he would have to charge it 2X's. The manager was standing there and looked at him and I know what she was thinking. (What the H@#ll are you talking about.) She then had to explain to him to ring it all up and bag the to go portion seperate.
Makes you wonder what they are teaching in school today.

Somewhere it said they were getting a lot of hits for the coupons. Just keep trying. I must have hit it at the right time. I printed 4 from my laptop, 4 from our desktop and still have 4 to do from my wifes laptop. I'll be sick of it before I use them all up. :D

Just my luck. The local KFC here is not going to carry the grilled chicken. :mad: They do not have enough room for the grill they say. They are honoring the coupons on their regular chicken though. I guess beggers can't be choosers. Oh well, free is free.

They already killed it. You have to get a raincheck, now.

The spin that he puts on this is a masterpiece of marketing.

I think this was a gimick just to get people in the restaurant.
Here's my story.
I have my coupons, decided to try yesterday to redeem one even though I had heard they are probably still out. I get to KFC, see the poster on the door explaining rain checks due to overwhelming response.... I decide to go inside and get the rain check anyway, was told I needed to fill out paper with my address so new coupon could be mailed to me etc. After all this then get asked,,,so, do you want to order? I immediately said, NO I'm good thanks, and walked out. Obviously they knew the response would be huge and would run out of the free product and once people are in the restaurant they will just order something NOT FREE.
Think I'll ever get the coupon in the mail. :roll:
You're right Horace, this is a masterpiece of marketing.
