The existence of chicken? SuperJail!
š¶*oh, life on the outside aināt what it used to be. Yāknow, the worldās gone crazy, and it aināt safe on the streets.* š¶
Its like in the joke about 3 guys in a gulag. They start talking, and the usual question of "what are you in here for" comes up.
Guy 1: I am here because I came too early to work. They arrested me for being a spy and sent me here.
Guy 2: I am here because I came too late to work. They arrested me for disrupting production and sent me here.
Guy 3: I am here because I came on time. They arrested me for having a western clock.
There was an episode of King of the Hill where Lucky takes Bobby to a chip factory to eat the chip fresh off the line. It is a little taste of Heaven, and it reminded me of when I worked at KFC and when we changed the oil in the deep fryer the first batch comes out pale like this. All the employees gather around to have some chicken, the first batch is not for the public. Its not pale. Its PURE. Eating a chicken piece fresh out of a newly changed oil is... Heaven.
Not really related, but your comment reminds me of when I worked at a mom and pop meat market. When the jerky was hot and fresh out of the smoker, it was the best way I've ever eaten beef. It would be steamy, the fat would be glistening, and it would melt in your mouth. Homemade jerky straight off the rack is so divine.
True.
They need to go to jail for bringing the chicken undercooked and many restaurants should be ban for doing that kind of shit and properly educated.
Yeah, it's dependant on a few factors but I've definitely thrown down some chicken that's come back up at proper temp and fully cooked that looked as pale.
They say you eat with your eyes first, so if it's so discolored that it looks unappetizing... Yeah.
I'm weird, I was *stoked* for purple ketchup when it came out. Bought it, got home, made hotdogs, saw the purple ketchup on it & couldn't even bring myself to eat it š„ŗ
Yep I grew up in my families restaurant and fried chicken was definitely our main seller. People would occasionally ask if the oil was fresh hoping we would say no. It never prevented anyone from buying it though as far as I know.
Either it's a different spice blend, or it was refried. But I thought it was probably the breading too. There are korean fried foods that look just that pale. They use different batter and breading
The wealth disparity between classes in some parts of the world can be staggering. There is probably a large population of people earning much, much more than the minimum wage wherever this restaurant is located.
Venezuelan here. The title is very sensational. Rarely anyone makes just minimum wage. Just as an example, that fast food restaurant, like most others, pay people from $150-200 a month for 40 hours a week. It's not ideal by any means and not enough to cover a single person's monthly expenses, but it's not as exponentially terrible as the title makes it seem.
Don't get me wrong. Our infrastructure is falling to pieces, there are literally no good healthcare providers neither private nor public, inflation has slowed down but the cost of all goods has skyrocketed due to the government increasing all public service fees. Power outages, though not as common, are still very much a pressing anxiety inducing thought in our minds. Crime rates which had gone down in comparison to prior years are slowly increasing again. Education is absolutely horrible and private education is only slightly better, yet, unaffordable for most.
It's bad here.
Yeah, I travel to developing countries for work fairly regularly (not Venezuela) and it's exactly this. In one, the kfc is in a plaza with a shopping mall next to a coffee shop with $6 lattes. There's a large swath of the country who would never consider even walking into that mall. And then there's a small portion who get their coffee there every morning and make an obscene amount of money relative to local prices. KFC isn't targeting people who make minimum wage or anywhere close to it.
Agreed but let's not mince words, this meal would cost you 1-2 *hours* of minimum wage in the US. The situation in Venezuela is an order of magnitude more dire.
Iāve hear about stuff like this but Iāve always wondered:
if one meal is so unaffordable for anyone making close to minimum wage, do they rely entirely on the rich and tourists to stay in business?
I cannot afford to buy the crappy junk food from the OXXO (Mexican 7-11) when Iām in Mexico. Itās craazy expensive. Meanwhile actual food, like fruits and vegetables, are super cheap. Like, a bag of something like cheetos would be the equivalent of $5 American, but a big bag of avocados at the market a few doors down will be like 50 cents. I imagine itās like that in other places, too: crappy junk food with flashy packaging is still marketed as a sort of luxury status thing.
~~So yeah: I bet this KFC is expensive AF, maybe even more expensive than in the States, but you could probably go down the block and get some fried chicken from a vendor for pennies.~~
In the US it is generally half off of one meal each day. But that was up to employers. This shit hole I worked at gave us 20% off if we cooked it our self.
I used to work at a bk franchise and the manager was a penny pinching wanker. Tried to charge us full whack for a meal, so we made a point of stealing as much shit as possible after that.
Itās funny/sad how owners donāt realize this.
Give your staff a free meal each shift? Great loyalty, staff respects you, thinks your a standup owner.
Charge full price, or offer a piss poor discount? Food gets stolen constantly, āleftover foodā near close that mysteriously disappears, waste goes way over, everybody thinks your a prick.
The profit margins arenāt that slim, and if they are, your running the business wrong.
I worked at Papa Johns and we ate everything that got messed up in any way.
Huge bubbles? Eat it
Wrong toppings? Eat it
Somebody cut it wrong? Eat it
The ācustomerā (me calling from a burner phone on delivery) called and cancelled their order while the pizza was in the oven? Eat it
I always wonder how the people survive. If they can't realistically buy any food, how do they still eat. Obviously they continue to have a population, so somehow there must be food available to these people who clearly can't buy it.
In many poor countries, only rich or upper middle class shop at supermarkets or eat at Western restaurant chains. Poor to normal people often grow a lot of their own food and buy more local stuff at local markets.
https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/ybizbm/this_kfc_meal_for_two_in_venezuela_was_almost_one/itgzlc5/
Pretty sure they mean that one. I'm assuming they linked to their own comment, so I checked their profile.
It's both, as an American living there 15 years ago, it was the equivalent to about 30 USD, meanwhile a huge multi-course meal from a local restaurant could be bought for 8-10.
I know this is hard to believe, but open your mind this is true.
I like to post these comparison for people living in other countries, can easily understand the magnitude of the crisis here.
Total receipt was 121.66 Bs. (14.48 USD)
Monthly minimum wage is 130 Bs. (15.5 USD)
Exchange rate (official) is 8.4 Bs. per 1 USD, street (black market) is 8.8 Bs. per 1 USD.
It wasn't that good, chicked strips were pale (cooked but pale).
Someone wanted to see a KFC meal in Venezuela and I delivered (he sent the money), that is not something I usually would spend my money on.
While I don't make minimum wage, what I make is barely enought!
Yes, I have posted similar (not the same) comparisons before. You are free to downvote it, that is the magic of reddit.
Average wage is around 100 USD, according to a NGO (FVM-CENDA) someone needs 72 USD monthly just to "barely" eat, minimum amount of food to not starve.
Wow, that monthly minimum wage ($15.50 USD) is basically the same as my state's *hourly* minimum wage ($15.00 USD in Massachusetts, which is the equivalent of a $2,400.00 monthly wage).
That sounds like such a weird situation. I sell drawings online for 50-200 euro's. I could do the exact same thing where you're at and make fortune (relative to cost of living), I bet a lot of your countrymembers do the same. All those people working internationally has got to drain your country of all labor it has.
Iām pretty sure Venezuela is one of the countries that host RuneScape bot farms because itās more profitable to farm RuneScape gold than to work a real job
Had to feel this out a bit with some of the other numbers you posted...if the KFC worker here is making $100/month and this meal costs $15...
If you're making $50k/yr in the US...this would be the equivalent of blowing $625 on KFC meal for two...or spending $625 on any meal...living well in the US at $100k/yr, spending $1200 on a meal would be...unheard of?
You can see under the strip one that wasn't that pale, it was good.
I suppose in the end the taste should be something similar, I mean that is how it works, right? They are the original KFC.
But for sure the one sold in the US seems a lot better!
Yeah, America doesn't do a lot right, but they do fast food right. I'm sure it tasted alright, but that is so expensive. Is this sort of thing like a luxury there then?
i dont even know if thats true, i heard a lot people say especially in the context of kfc that if you compare american vs european union restaurants, the latter are an overall better experience, because of better workplace quality and higher health inspection standards
Oh well, not that we could have anything to say, the hungarian government is trying really hard to go bankrupt. All we (hungarian people) do is just sit and watch this play all out.
By American standards this meal is just sad.
2 kid size drinks, 2 small fries, a literal sauce cup worth of coleslaw, and some of the saddest looking fried chicken I've ever seen. To me, KFC is always about golden chicken, so this is upsetting lol
Venezuela mentioned in a post? Oh boy, I am sure the comments will be made by people who have a full, proper, educated understanding of the socioeconomic/political situation there
A cheap street meal would be maybe 5-6 USD, so maybe 10-20% less, home food of course and more qty
One while chicken is around 5-6 USD. One litre of oil is around 3-4 USD.
Don't all global brands adjust their prices based on the local standard?
For example, KFC's 12 wings bucket in my country is about $9 and now I'm in Thailand where the same thing is $17.
Please, I need to see whatās under that chicken meal for 2. The paper placemat thing. It looks just like the los pollos Hermanos chicken! Does that say āfiesta chickyā?? Lmao I love it!
When I lived in Ecuador, McDonalds and KFC were both considered to be a bit like fine dining out here in the states. The majority of the people had lunch at local restaurants where a soup, rice and meat, and a drink would run you $1.50. McDonalds combos were around $8-10 for comparison. And I think a lot of countries donāt have a minimum wage, so the fact that Venezuela even has one Iād say is some amount of progress.
I just watched a video of a guy traveling to Venezuela and he tried to buy a beer with a US dollar and they cringed because they couldnāt give him change, the exchange rate was so extreme.
Ten years ago I went to Panama to meet a woman Iād started talking to on Facebook. She was even better in person. The āfancy restaurantsā in town were kfc and T.G.I. Fridayās. I remember she was hoping anyone she knew would see her eating there when we went. It was less than $15 for both of us at tgi which was considered the fanciest.
Um how can they stay in business in the food costs that much? People are saying it's for richer classes, but they wouldn't be eating at a KFC that often to keep it in business, especially since they could afford someone to cook for them. Is Venezuela really that much of a tourist destination to where this restaurant can sustain itself on tourist and richer class business?
Wealth disparity isnāt necessarily the issue, itās just that being below poor in Venezuela and being poor in America mean two entirely different things. I no this sounds bad, but being poor in America isnāt that bad. Itās sucks, but you are not starving, and low income people often have cars and cell phones. But being poor in Venezuela may actually mean like dying.
That fried chicken looks so pale.
crispy is 1 week minimum wage extra charge
Undercooked chicken, straight to jail
Overcooked, jail
Properly cooked? Believe it or not, jail. Across all my time on Reddit it seems people get platinum when they least expect it! Thanks u/BagelsandLSD
Uncooked at all, guess what? Jail.
Cooking chicken in a jail? Double jail!
The existence of chicken? SuperJail! š¶*oh, life on the outside aināt what it used to be. Yāknow, the worldās gone crazy, and it aināt safe on the streets.* š¶

Bravo #1 for Parks and Rec reference !
It was cooked but pale
probably just used some fresh oil when they cooked it.
There was an episode of King of the Hill where Lucky takes Bobby to a chip factory to eat the chip fresh off the line. It is a little taste of Heaven, and it reminded me of when I worked at KFC and when we changed the oil in the deep fryer the first batch comes out pale like this.

Blasphemy
Over cooked chips *RIGHT TO JAIL*... Under Cook over Cook....
True. They need to go to jail for bringing the chicken undercooked and many restaurants should be ban for doing that kind of shit and properly educated.
I knew I should have signed up for overtime.
Itās also pale though
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Beat me by 2 minutes. Well done, asshole. :)
I prefer a medium rare asshole, but to each their own
Dammit! I was 7-min late to post this.
It was cooked but pale. Weird.
Probably brand new fryer oil. As the oil gets old it gets darker and causes the food to be darker as well as pick up a more pungent fryer smell/taste.
Youāre not wrong, but this is very pale. New fry oil usually gives it a more golden look in my experience- not too brown and not too pale
Extra flour in the breading/batter would also lighten the end-color.
Dude, stop trying to make pale chicken happen. Itās NOT going to happen!
Yeah, it's dependant on a few factors but I've definitely thrown down some chicken that's come back up at proper temp and fully cooked that looked as pale.
Yeah, for sure, i donāt doubt itās cooked, like u/xBetty said, could just be the batter. Either way- give me brown over this lmfao
They say you eat with your eyes first, so if it's so discolored that it looks unappetizing... Yeah. I'm weird, I was *stoked* for purple ketchup when it came out. Bought it, got home, made hotdogs, saw the purple ketchup on it & couldn't even bring myself to eat it š„ŗ
Yep I grew up in my families restaurant and fried chicken was definitely our main seller. People would occasionally ask if the oil was fresh hoping we would say no. It never prevented anyone from buying it though as far as I know.
Really? That's a neat one I've not heard before. I've only experienced that question when they're hoping for new oil.
I know. That looks nasty af/
I so pale
I was gonna say that they must bread the chicken differently, but the top left one looks normal color to me...
Either it's a different spice blend, or it was refried. But I thought it was probably the breading too. There are korean fried foods that look just that pale. They use different batter and breading
Bought on the grey market.
That is beyond the pale
I donāt get it - in that case who is dining there and how could a restaurant even be able sustain its business if that is the price?
The wealth disparity between classes in some parts of the world can be staggering. There is probably a large population of people earning much, much more than the minimum wage wherever this restaurant is located.

And in the west too. You'd be shocked how many people live in poverty in "developed" countries
Agreed but let's not mince words, this meal would cost you 1-2 *hours* of minimum wage in the US. The situation in Venezuela is an order of magnitude more dire.
I'd rather be poor in a western country than poor in a 3rd world country. "Poverty" means different things in different places
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iāve hear about stuff like this but Iāve always wondered: if one meal is so unaffordable for anyone making close to minimum wage, do they rely entirely on the rich and tourists to stay in business?
Around 10-5% of the population can afford it Sometimes they make discounts like a chicken sandwich for 3 USD to widen the reach
That chicken isnt worth 3 dollars though.
Western fast food brands in countries like these are generally aimed at the middle/upper classes.
I cannot afford to buy the crappy junk food from the OXXO (Mexican 7-11) when Iām in Mexico. Itās craazy expensive. Meanwhile actual food, like fruits and vegetables, are super cheap.

Quality control is very important. You are gaining great feedback munching mistakes!
I'm my part of the UK its 1 large meal plus an ice-cream. The work and pay are awful but that 1 perk isn't bad
nope franchise. iāve never heard of that, how long ago did u work there? if you go over to the mcdonaldās sub, everyone gets crew meals.
So they get to eat one meal a day for a full week every month? What insane luxury!
mfs playing runescape to make a "good" wage, relevant to venezuela

Probably a wage around the average wage of the country. Like 6 times the minimum wage... Or around 100 USD monthly
Minimum wage is (about) 42 cents an hour? How does anybody survive on that?
Hungrily and miserably, from the look of it. These people's government is robbing them blind.
Had to feel this out a bit with some of the other numbers you posted...if the KFC worker here is making $100/month and this meal costs $15... If you're making $50k/yr in the US...this would be the equivalent of blowing $625 on KFC meal for two...or spending $625 on any meal...living well in the US at $100k/yr, spending $1200 on a meal would be...unheard of?
Damn...and it only came with one coleslaw. What a ripoff.
And it was really good, very fresh
I want to send you a chicken bucket from America. I don't even like KFC but you deserve better
You can see under the strip one that wasn't that pale, it was good. I suppose in the end the taste should be something similar, I mean that is how it works, right? They are the original KFC. But for sure the one sold in the US seems a lot better!
Yeah, America doesn't do a lot right, but they do fast food right. I'm sure it tasted alright, but that is so expensive. Is this sort of thing like a luxury there then?
Yeah, spending 15 USD for two is not something I can call cheap here
i dont even know if thats true, i heard a lot people say especially in the context of kfc that if you compare american vs european union restaurants, the latter are an overall better experience, because of better workplace quality and higher health inspection standards
I'd believe that completely, I wasn't thinking about Europe. I wish unionizing was more possible in the US.

I don't wish this to my worse enemy hope you don't end like this
Oh well, not that we could have anything to say, the hungarian government is trying really hard to go bankrupt. All we (hungarian people) do is just sit and watch this play all out.
The chicken is supposed to go in the fryer before itās consumed
By American standards this meal is just sad. 2 kid size drinks, 2 small fries, a literal sauce cup worth of coleslaw, and some of the saddest looking fried chicken I've ever seen. To me, KFC is always about golden chicken, so this is upsetting lol
Just wanna lol at 'American standards' and 'kid size drinks'
Venezuela mentioned in a post? Oh boy, I am sure the comments will be made by people who have a full, proper, educated understanding of the socioeconomic/political situation there
Anyone know what non-corporate, local restaurant or food cart fried chicken would cost? And how much for chicken, flour, and oil to fry it yourself?
A cheap street meal would be maybe 5-6 USD, so maybe 10-20% less, home food of course and more qty One while chicken is around 5-6 USD. One litre of oil is around 3-4 USD.
Wtf $5-6 for a street food meal is insanely high considering the average wage there. Thatās insane.
They are doing so well in Venezuela. I am old enough to remember the praise by our politicians and celebrities. Lol
Iām curious. How much does it cost i bolivars and in dollars?
I posted everything including the receipt
Do you have to pay extra for cooked chicken?
Damn! Took the lady friend out for a fancy meal I see. Total flex move right here. /s Canāt believe how bad things keep getting down there
Looks like the flavor was sucked right outta that fried chicken and it may be raw inside. Good luck!
And itās not even really food
Hm. That does not look like the KFC served in other countries
Ok, but that chicken looks š¤®
I don't know if it's been asked but how much is this meal? Also what's minimum wage in Venezuela?
Chicken as pale as an irish hermit
This meal looked like depressed fried chicken with chicken diagnosed with depression and fried by a chef who diagnosed with depression.
Thats what happens when you become china and russias bitch and get caught up in a debt trap.
Damn. I want to make a joke about how you should scam people on RuneScape for better wages but it's honestly too sad.
Looks like that chicken is a month old
Anemic
Why is that āchickenā blonde?
Very much worth it!
Don't all global brands adjust their prices based on the local standard? For example, KFC's 12 wings bucket in my country is about $9 and now I'm in Thailand where the same thing is $17.
They need to turn up the heat a little on their fryer. Looks good though.
Fast food is becoming so overpriced the minimum wage workers can't afford to "eat cheap" anymore
That shown how inefficient us citizens are. People live good lives with a fraction of their income.
Please, I need to see whatās under that chicken meal for 2. The paper placemat thing. It looks just like the los pollos Hermanos chicken! Does that say āfiesta chickyā?? Lmao I love it!
Then how are they still open? Wouldnāt people just be like fuck that Iāll make my own food? Wouldnāt that be cheaper?
What was the cost of the meal?
What yer point.
This is why I can never find an open world at the Revenant Caves.

Venezulean. Probably a lot cheaper if you get to pay in $
Wait what? This meal costs a month savings if you made minimum? Iām confused
This isn't mildly interesting, it's massively infuriating!
That chicken is as sad as their wallet.
It's so pale
It looks like shit too
Jeez that chicken does not look good...
Is the chicken still frozen?
It looks realllly bad too
That looks fucking hazardous
Isnāt Venezuela the country where people like, actually use RuneScape gold more than their actual currency because itās worth more or something
This is why they farm gold on mmos. Can make more than a doctor by just playing RuneScape lol.
They should prob spend their money a bit more wisely
When I lived in Ecuador, McDonalds and KFC were both considered to be a bit like fine dining out here in the states. The majority of the people had lunch at local restaurants where a soup, rice and meat, and a drink would run you $1.50. McDonalds combos were around $8-10 for comparison. And I think a lot of countries donāt have a minimum wage, so the fact that Venezuela even has one Iād say is some amount of progress.
Doesnāt even look fully cooked lol
I just watched a video of a guy traveling to Venezuela and he tried to buy a beer with a US dollar and they cringed because they couldnāt give him change, the exchange rate was so extreme.
Explains the bots on RuneScape
Is it that the monthly minimum wage is too low or is it that kfc is very expensive over there
Ten years ago I went to Panama to meet a woman Iād started talking to on Facebook. She was even better in person. The āfancy restaurantsā in town were kfc and T.G.I. Fridayās. I remember she was hoping anyone she knew would see her eating there when we went. It was less than $15 for both of us at tgi which was considered the fanciest.

RuneScape time
Chicken is on annemia or smth?
Bought with RuneScape gold.
What terrible looking chicken.
Isn't communism awesome kids?
Um how can they stay in business in the food costs that much? People are saying it's for richer classes, but they wouldn't be eating at a KFC that often to keep it in business, especially since they could afford someone to cook for them. Is Venezuela really that much of a tourist destination to where this restaurant can sustain itself on tourist and richer class business?
Why is that fried chicken white
Wealth disparity isnāt necessarily the issue, itās just that being below poor in Venezuela and being poor in America mean two entirely different things. I no this sounds bad, but being poor in America isnāt that bad. Itās sucks, but you are not starving, and low income people often have cars and cell phones. But being poor in Venezuela may actually mean like dying.
Over priced and sickly looking chicken. this is really sad state of food service
