A British woman was left dumfounded when she was hit with a 150 pound fine for taking too long to eat at fast food giant KFC. A regular at KFC, Natalie Jackson had ordered a huge family bucket, which contained 14 chicken pieces, 6 French fry bags and large cokes. Jackson and a pal took an hour to scoff the 5,456-calorie feast.

Days later Jackson was fined for breaking KFC’s 75-minute car parking limit. “It’s disgusting. I spend a lot of money in there. Now I’m never going back,” The Sun quoted Jackson, as saying. “It didn’t feel like I was in there all that long. We were hungry,” Jackson added.

Following the case, KFC has said that restaurant parking was contracted to private firm Civil Enforcement Ltd — but promised to review Natalie’s case. “A parking restriction was introduced to prevent non-KFC customers using the car park,” a spokesman for KFC said.

hmm…title is a bit dodgy, these kind of things happen all the time…parking limits are followed strictly in busy hours…KFC will have nothing to do with the parking maintainance as these are always given to private orgs…

what does KFC have to do with it? The title is a little misleading.

My view: The parking lot is normally owned and operated by KFC. The fact that parking enforcement is outsourced to another agency is irrelevant – for the KFC customer. In other words, if you park at a McDonalds, go in to eat and come out to find your car gone, who will you ask first?
