i'm sure we have some of the most stupid people on the planet living in Britain, it beggars belief anyone could be that thick.

It's like that stupid b!tch who left the abusive note on the ambulance saying they couldn't park there

Enititled Snowflakes.....

However the whole KFC\DHL debacle is breathtaking in its incompetence....

Chicken Delivery contract taken away from specialist food transportation/logistics company Bidvest and given to DHL (a non food specialist) who promptly find out they cant deliver!
This must be costing KFC millions all to save a few quid on a contract? Someone in the bid team needs a major kick up the ****.

Apparently KFC realised about 3 weeks ago they'd made a major boo boo with DHL, but it was too late - Bidvest lost 300 staff and closed a distribution depot because of it.....

Total and utter **** up with all involved...... and the Zero Hours employees in most branches..... what do you think they're getting paid for someone else's **** up?

Breathtaking really in this day and age!

Hahaha, absolutely agree, how thick are they managers at the top? I was saying to the wife other day, 'you know, I don't even think DHL specialise in food delivery, they don't even have refrigerators on vehicles so I don't know what's going on there'.
Will takes absolutely ages to recover from this

If I was a call operator, I'd politely ask for their name and address so we can send someone to help.

That someone will be whoever reads it on list posted publically, who will hopefully shove their phone up the caller's ****. If on the small chance it isn't a giant smartphone, it can be substituted with a house brick, side ways.


As for KFC having no chicken? No big loss.

mmm, just shows the importance of integrated supply chains and hubris off course

and the need to conform to those pesky regulations - DHL had not bothered to inform Rugby council that the warehouse was being used for cold storage of food - so it was shut down

Don't worry though. The half wit who made the decision and caused a whole company to go under because of it will get a nice end of year bonus and a pat on the back. If only the country had MORE executives with zero experience of actually running something.

I've had first hand experience of DHL undercutting a warehousing/logistics operation with a customer.
Its not feckin pretty, they decided to outsource warehouse/logistics, saving approximately 100 salaries (most went on to work for DHL).
Took nearly a year for the problems to fully stabilise, and it hurt other parts of the business as a result

I think i've got the gist of it, to save me reading the whole thread, can someone just confirm that you can now dial 999 to order a KFC and the police will deliver it ?

The ironic thing is DHL has done more for fighting child obesity in one week than Jamie Oliver has in ten years

Didn't DHL ****** a contract away from Bidvest several years ago, servicing Burger King, and they made a mess of that operation in the same way.

A-level business studies case study in years to come I'm sure.

Complete fake news as usual. DHL have actually delivered to all the outlets.
Unfortunately as per company policy they left a card stating the parcels have been at the shop next door & now no-one can find them.

What an utter bellend. I thought it was an offence to waste the time of the emergency services so why can't these fcukwits be cautioned for making calls like this? Perhaps they will then stop doing it
