worst chinese take-out and delivery in kc

Kin Lin has been serving inexpensive, buffet-quality, Chinese food at the same location in Kansas City for 20 years. Some people like the food at the Kin Lin. I prefer the lighter Veitnamese fare at Saigon 39. Kin Lin's business is bolstered by a substantial walk-in trade from two nearby universities and an art school, and it's proximity to a middle-class neighborhood with a large number of double-income families. There isn't much time for cooking dinner and that frequently means take-out or delivery and those are good things for a Chinese restaurant that does both.

In all their years of doing business, they've had one delivery driver. His name is Martin. He prefers Marty.

The problem with the delivery at Kin Lin is Marty. Marty is a stalker and stalking is illegal. Although Martin is married and has 3 children, he likes to stalk single women that he discovers living alone in out-of-the-way apartments on his delivery routes. Martin is pathetic but he is also dangerous because he is scared of women.

I suspect that Martin has a long history of combing the city for vulnerable women on his delivery routes, looking for those who live alone, coming on to them, perhaps even occassionally scoring the extra tip. If it's consensual, I wouldn't have a problem with it -- except remember -- he's married with 3 children. When it's not consensual, it's illegal. And that really, really creeps me out.

That's Martin in the photo getting into his delivery car, a white Toyota Corolla LE with a sun roof, Kansas liscense plate, QFI 035.

If you've been the victim of a Marty stalking, then you should contact the police. The more police reports filed on Martin, the more likely his wife will learn what a scoundrel he is, and the sooner he will go away. If you do for some reason wish to order chinese take-out from Kin Lin (816.561.4334) and want it delivered, then tell the owners that you prefer not to have it delivered by Marty-the-stalker. Or if you want to call Martin directly and express your displeasure with his behavoir his phone number is 816-678-1638. Be sure to press *67 before you dial so Marty can't stalk you.
