KFC Fines Woman for Staying Too Long

[djDaemon]

This is about the rediculous time limit on the parking and her getting a fine.

I think they should make it a resonable 2-3 hours. Only becuase I and my friends have gone to fast food resturants and have sat there for 2-3 hours, not entirely eating, just chilling.

And maybe they don't like that. Ignoring for a second that KFC is a fast food joint, restaurants don't like people staying for extended periods, because the value proposition is not favorable. You're only likely to eat 1 meal in 2 or 3 hours, and they want you out. Its their right as a private establishment, and in no way ridiculous.

That said, I can see where the owner is coming from - I wouldn't want this chick inside my KFC, reminding everyone what this food does to them.

Definatly for the best if she doesn't go back 2 KFC.

no, she'll just go to McDonalds next and buy 10 Big Macs and a tub of Coke.

Man, she must REALLY like fried chicken..as we can all tell, but seriously..who can eat that much in one sitting? I can eat a lot of food, but that is just overkill...

..by the way..that's a HUGE bitch!! :p

Ummm...KFC does sound good!

If I walked into a medical establishment seeking assistance, and someone that looked like that came to help me, I'd flat-out walk out. Hope she plans to work in an ER, where people are usually too concerned with other things than to notice that the person treating them is the poster child for obesity.

if the time limit on parking is ment to prevent people who are not at KFC from eating and she was obviously at KFC then why would there be an issue at all. Not to mention why so large of a fine for just parking in a parking spot to eat. Seams a bit outrageous to me if you ask.

FAST food fan Natalie Jackson was hit with a ?150 fine at KFC ? for staying too long gorging on a monster-sized ?family bucket?.

The trainee nurse and a pal plumped for FOURTEEN chicken pieces, SIX bags of fries and large CO:|S :| after driving to their local branch.

They spent an hour and a half scoffing the 5,456-calorie feast. Days later regular customer Natalie got the fine in the post for breaking the restaurant car park?s 75-minute limit.

The 24-year-old fumed yesterday: ?It?s disgusting. I spend a lot of money in there. Now I?m never going back.?

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

The mega bucket, which busts the Health Department?s recommended 1,940-a-day calorie count for women, cost her ?13.16p.

Natalie vowed there was fat chance of her paying the ?150 ? insisting: ?It didn?t feel like I was in there all that long. We were hungry.?

Last night KFC said restaurant parking was contracted to private firm Civil Enforcement Ltd ? but promised to review Natalie?s case.

A spokesman said: ?A parking restriction was introduced to prevent non-KFC customers using the car park.

?The 75-minute time limit is designed to accommodate our customers who generally eat for about 30 minutes.?

not that i think eating that much is anywhere near right, but i love how it's spun. instead of just saying 'they ate a family bucket between them' they broke it down to make it sound like even more. 2 people ate 4-5 people's food.

bloody hell! i can manage a "Boneless banquet for 1" and not eat till at least 10 hours later. just wow.

[PricklyPoo]

Wow, disgusting.....

The meal and her looks go hand in hand.

Please don't tell me this is in the US. :/

[LightIdea]

I can just barely down a kids meal. LOL

I love my KFC but I only have it once a week as a treat :D

[qdave]

what a woman :| dream!

never ate at kfc though.

Picture is right on the article.

That an arm or a wing?

[HeartsOfWar]

I can understand people's disgust about the amount of food she ate, because I have several family members that range from 300 to 450 pounds and they don't eat that much; however I will never understand how someone could be so disgusted towards her weight that they believe they're justified in reducing her to less of a human being.

yes, she's destroying her body, knowingly limiting her life expectancy by continuing to eat that way, but as other members have pointed out, how many habits do others have that relate to the same consequences?

how many that took a "jab" at her have used or use drugs, smoke, drink more than one glass of alcohol a day, eat uncontrollably like her, etc.

I'm sure more than one... so next time, just have some compassion - over-weight people are still human.

Regardless though, if there was a time-limit sign in plain view, she should pay the fine.

She's lucky to be alive :blink: .

[Lasker]

:laugh: This is the kind of people that eat at KFC

[C_Guy]

She'd be in much better shape if she had DIET Coke instead of regular Coke.

For whatever issues this woman has, you guys are judgemental and ridiculous. I can easily down 4 or 5 pieces of chicken from KFC, especially if it's a cheaper bucket where the peices are mostly bone. Give me a lot of hunger and a little time, and heck yeah I could eat 7. Just ask my wife, I can create a large pile of chicken bones in no time. Now it just so happens that I am tall, thin, weight around 170lbs, with low blood pressure, low cholestorol and I can drop 10lbs in a week just by drinking diet coke instead of regular. I eat a lot and guys give someone like me a thumbs up. Put a woman on the news with a headline like this and people come out of the woodwork to bash her if she eats one stupid cookie. I'm sure everyone on this forum is a picture of healthy eating habits of course.

[filetofish]

The problem that she has, is the fact that she got fined for parking......suck it up.

People get parking tickets all the time (me including). There are times where you don't see the sign...but the fact remains is that it was there.

**Sorry for running over that kid officer, I didn't see him

That's nice, but completely irrelevant. It just so happens this woman is quite obese and sat down to a meal more than large enough to feed an entire family (for a day). You sound like you didn't even read the article; she certainly ate more than a cookie.

I'm sure everyone on this forum is a picture of healthy eating habits of course.

I highly doubt a lot of people on this forum are that overweight and sit down to army sized fast food meals, eating so long they get a parking fine. If they do I'm sure others would gladly make fun of them too. You can step down off your soap box now.

Eating that much chicken in a couple of hours is not normal. People that eat like that usually have a problem with a gland called the thyroid gland - More info. on it here: http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGLS_e...q=thyroid+gland

When this gland is not working properly, it makes people eat like hell and no matter how much they eat, they will always have the feeling that they are hungry and eat more. I am 6' tall, 199 pounds and my cholesterol is at 220 and my sugar is at 119 and I am currently under doctor orders to be on a strict diet to lower it all to normal levels, so I can only imagine what her cholesterol and sugar must be like at her present weight and the way she looks.

[Huleboeren]

wow you guys cant say anything about us Americans and being fat, any longer!

Well, you can obviously see she is of american descent :p

LOL the KFC in Huddersfield, gutted, I wasn?t expecting that when reading the article.

I?ve been there probably once or twice in the last 10 years, it?s not the best pla;) to eat ;)
