[quote]Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) has been ordered to pay out almost £19,000 after a cockroach was found eating a chip in one of the busiest branches in Britain. Skip related content
The insect was seen on a food dispensing counter near takeaway boxes and tongs used to serve chicken by an environmental health officer in a restaurant in London's West End.
City of Westminster Magistrates' Court heard that, during an inspection at the Leicester Square branch, the officer also saw a mouse, flies and dried chicken blood on the floor. The Westminster City Council inspector also said there was no hand wash in dispensers in the food preparation area.
"There was no soap in the ground-floor food preparation room so, on the day of the inspection at least, it was not possible for food preparation staff to wash their hands properly," said Michael Goodwin, prosecuting.
The fast food giant admitted breaching five hygiene rules after the inspection in August 2008. Mr Goodwin said that, four months prior to the inspection, the branch received a "specific warning" from the council voicing concerns about hygiene practices. David Whiting, mitigating, said the company took the inspection "very seriously".
"KFC accepts the condition that has been described to you," he said. "They fell below their own high standards and below legal standards."
Mr Whiting said that, since the inspection, the outside contractor employed to deal with pest control problems has had its hire agreement with KFC terminated across the UK. Mr Whiting added that, on the day of inspection, an employee had simply forgotten to refill the soap in the dispensers in the preparation room and there were still places where hands could be washed.
The Coventry Street outlet, which employs 65 people and operates from 10am to 3am, has since undergone a £600,000 refurbishment.
At a hearing in April, the firm, based in Woking, Surrey, pleaded guilty to failure to keep the premises clean, not keeping the building maintained and in good repair and not having adequate procedures in place to prevent pest control. It also admitted failure to ensure that the layout, design and construction permitted good food hygiene practices and failure to ensure that materials for cleaning hands were available at hand basins.
District Judge Howard Riddle fined the food chain £11,000 for the five offences. He also ordered it to pay £7,927.80 in costs and a victim surcharge of £15.[/quote]

This is another reason to avoid KFC. I can't stand their chicken and I don't know why.

The fact that there was a roach on their restaurant isn't KFC's fault as a whole, it's the fault of that particular building for poor management.
I guess the store owner got cocky when it came to bribing the inspector.
A mcdonalds I know here are also in a terrible condition, but no one cares, no customer actually sees the mouse or the cockroach in the restaurant, they only see the delicious heart attacking food and nothing else matters.
And I don't care either, no one does
also who was that guy who said that he started working at mcdonalds and that some one dropped a hamburger or something and then just sold it to the customers, and that he said it happened very often and everyone besides the customers knew it or something

Confucius say, "Man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day"
So that's what makes the Double Down so good.
Is such a small amount of money for a company that size it probably won't effect anything. When I heard they got fined I thought it would be in the region of a million.
