A KFC boss attacked a customer who had the gall to insist upon three chicken breasts in his three-piece meal, apparently unheard of in Colonel Sanders land.

The manager grew irate at such a request, shouting “You’ll get what you’re given” and stating it was against company policy to comply with such a demand. When the breast man, Stephen Shade, threw a few choice words back, all proverbial hell broke loose

The manager had to be restrained by the staff as he threw punches, then resorted to hurling cooking oil, gravy and a metal fry basket at Shade, who needed hospital treatment after the attack (a swollen wrist) and a dry cleaner (his clothes were ruined! Just ruined!).

The two men were arrested as a result of the fowl altercation and ordered to pay an £80 fine. Shade commented, “That was the most expensive fast food meal I ever had…I don’t know about KFC being finger lickin’ good. For me it was food flickin’ bad.”

 Good one, Stephen. Take those 11 herbs and spices through the wringer!
