Remember last May when Oprah Winfrey partnered with KFC to give everyone in American a free two-piece grilled chicken meal? Long lines greeted customers (like me), who tried to cash in on the freebie. I got a rain check when I realized that I couldn't stand in line for an hour on a one-hour lunch break.
James Asanuma and Veronica Mora filed suit against KFC, accusing the chicken restaurant of "false advertising, fraud and unfair business practices." They also said KFC was using the promotion to get customers to spend money they had not planned to. The suit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, and it's been removed to Federal Court. Experts say the case might become a class action suit.
Similar suits could be filed against Denny's, which recently had a free Grand Slam meal available, but again, there were long lines out the building and many, no doubt, didn't get served. And this Tuesday, Feb. 23, IHOP will be giving away free shortstacks. Sounds like more potential lawsuits.
