Nandos runs out of chicken. Diner "inconsolable".

Kiko H Fan · 07/07/14 - 10:41

The full article is here.

Not only is one would-be diner "inconsolable", another is struggling to "come to terms" with it all.

" One customer said on Twitter: “I’m still coming to terms with what happen [sic]. One colleague is inconsolable.” "

I wonder how they'd feel if Pizza Express ran out of dough balls.

Reminds me of a story on Mock the Week about a Subway store being out of bread.

At around 00:44.

I was at a McDonalds once and they didn't have any fries for about 10 minutes. Should I sue?

I'm pretty sure that Twitter comment was tongue-in-cheek and the Standard went and quoted it as a genuine complaint. A bit like when the BBC read out the "I am 12 and what is this?" meme when they saw it in the Youtube comments on a porn video: http://youtu.be/NdqSdfDcez0?t=14s

One consolatiion - if they run out of a product, then you can pretty well guarantee that the replacement is fresh and hasn't been left lying in an open top display fridge for days on end (as I've seen in some places!)

Yes, definitely tongue in cheek. That BBC clip is hilariously embarrassing - never seen that before. They really have their finger on the pulse, eh? Idiots.

I don't get why anybody would want to spend upto £14 pound on a chicken anyway.

Buy a chicken in shop coat It in spices

[Deleted User] · 07/07/14 - 12:49

Couldn't they have gone to a pub and had chicken in a basket instead?

Yes, I find when i'm out shopping and hungry that the quickest way to sate my hunger is to buy a chicken, coat it in spices and wait an hour or so for it to cook once i'm home.

I used to work in Nandos and you couldn't pay me to eat that crap.

Why do some act like Nandos reinvented the wheel? It is chicken and chips for Christ's sake. You can do better at home

I remember once someone i knew went through the kfc drive through one evening to get a bargain bucket and was told they were out of chicken. They tried to convince him to have a meal of fries, coke and a vienetta instead

My husband once called at Burger King on his way back home from dropping me off in town. He wanted a bacon double cheeseburger, fries and a strawberry milkshake. Alas, he was told they had 'run out of food' and the milkshake machine was 'broken'. This was at 3pm so not even late at night. Cowboys.

Remove the commas, put the "he" and "r" together to make "her" and change the mistyped "love" to "live" and the post makes a lot more sense.

I don't understand why people eat Nandos. They could rummage around the gutters for bits of bread that pigeons have dropped, buy a microwaveable chicken from the 99p store and if you ask your local Chinese takeaway nicely they'll let you sweep up all the grains of rice that have fallen behind the cooker

Why would anybody go out and have a tasty meal with friends or loved ones

And then meet your friends on a park bench in the rain, having carried all the chicken in a thermos flask?

Among my friends and family I have vegetarians, vegans, people not eating carbs and people needing halal. Believe me, Nandos is the place to go.
