Employees of KFC have said that the introduction of the bun-less Double Down Burger has greatly increased their workload and created tension in their restaurants.
The new limited-edition burger consists of "bacon, two different kinds of melted cheese, and the Colonel’s 'secret' sauce...pinched in between two pieces of Original Recipe chicken fillets."

 
Essentially consisting of fried meat and cheese, this $7.90 heart attack has become overwhelmingly popular since its NZ release day on May 10, selling out for the first two days and literally doubling KFC sales in the process.

 
Despite the large increase in productivity, KFC workers have said this new burger has made their life hell.

 
KFC chef and Workers Party member Ian Anderson said: “I’m used to being overworked and underpaid, but when the workload goes up, the poverty wages stay the same.” Many employees are now working over-time, surrendering their breaks and days off to help keep up with this huge increase in demand and popularity. Customer service has also been put under strain, workers claiming that fat bastards coming into their stores have been rude and difficult in response to the product selling out.

 
The burger has been said to only be available for five weeks, but whether this item will actually cease to be made after that period of time is anyone’s guess.

 
Mr. Anderson added, “The burger’s also not that amazing.”
