KFC Won't Even Let John Travolta Book a Private Table

Apparently even A-Listers can have trouble getting good service at fast food restaurants.

Despite the fact that there were a number of 4-star London restaurants, like The Ledbury, Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester, and Hix just an hour away, John Travolta decided KFC was the way to go while visiting West Sussex last weekend.

Travolta was in the area to attend an annual Scientology event in East Grinstead Friday when one of his reps called a local KFC and asked if they could book a table for the star and his guests.

Thinking that the call was a prank, the worker who took the call declined Travolta's request and told his rep he could wait in line for his drumsticks and biscuits just like everyone else.

After realizing the call was legit, a spokesperson for KFC said, "In hindsight, of course, we would have reserved a table for him," but the employee who took the call stood by the decision. "To me, customers are customers, no matter who they are. It doesn't make a difference if someone is famous."

Travolta may have missed out on fried chicken Friday, but he likely made up for it with a swanky dinner Saturday at the Saint Hill Manor, a mansion on 60 acres of grounds that Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard bought in 1959.
