John Travolta was across the big pond in England attending an annual Scientology event when he started jonesing for one of those Double Down KFC calorie bombs. It was finger lickin’ good time for the A-lister so his rep called the local KFC and requested a reservation for the star and his party. The only hiccup in all this was that Travolta’s rep called the wrong bloke!
The dude who answered the phone was all about that super friendly service we’ve come to expect from your neighborhood KFC and told the rep that Travolta would have to just wait in line like everybody else. Oh snap those licked fingers! Dude doesn’t get blinded by fame and told Daily Mail that:
“To me, customers are customers, no matter who they are. It doesn’t make a difference if someone is famous.”
In one fail swoop KFC dude wiped out all the preconceived fame worshipping rep the Brits received after the Will and Kate wedding. Once the suits higher up Colonel Sanders chain of command got the news they backtracked from their employee’s all-is-equal stance.
“In hindsight, of course, we would have reserved a table for him. It’s not every day you get a Hollywood star eating in your restaurant.”
Way to back your peeps you chicken frying chickens! Maybe Johnny moved on down to McD’s and ordered a Royale with cheese.
