Poor box office results and harsh critical reviews can both be signs that an actor's career is in a bit of trouble, but when fast food chains begin to disrespect you, it's really time to hit the panic button. This is what happened to John Travolta when his request for a table reservation at a West Sussex KFC was turned down by a brazen employee.
The employee apparently told Travolta's representative that the actor would have to wait at the front of the line just like everyone else. The employee later said, "To me, customers are customers, no matter who they are. It doesn't make a difference if someone is famous," according to the Daily Mail. Finally someone put their foot down and stopped these out-of-control celebrities from running wild on the fast food scene.
Travolta, who was only in West Sussex for a Scientology event, is used to being snubbed, especially by the Academy of Motion Pictures, but this one has to sting the most. As of now, there is no word on whether or not he was going to throw a few candles on the table, dim the lights, and treat his wife, Kelly Preston, to a romantic bucket for two; however, it certainly is interesting to see Travolta go from dancing in Grease to filling his arteries with it.
