Some of the events reported related to "excitement" around the Popeyes sandwich were almost certainly staged: a manager that has a stress induced medical emergency due to the increased business volume, near riots at another store when they "run out" of the sandwich, a deranged customer climbs through the drive-thru window when he's told he can't get the sandwich... does anyone really believe these were anything more than coordinated publicity stunts.

It's funny, the liberals can trash the "homophobic" Chic-fil-a all they want, so be it...but everyday (except Sunday) the drive thru lines (multiple at each location) is backed up to the road at all of the locations around me (New Jersey).

The only other fast food chain that I know of that has that kind of success is In-N-Out...another chain with Christian values.

What I've noticed on those days, they send out someone with an iPad.. Take your order, you pay, and as soon as you get to the window your food is handed to you...

It's never, what did you say or we don't have that.. It's always: My pleasure or I'm sorry we don't carry that item any longer but I recommend xyz.

Plus I don't get the raging sh*ts from CFA.. Plus I love their wraps.

Apparently they (Darden) support Trump. I wonder if the alt-left realizes they own about a dozen different brands?

I would guess not considering any boycott they champion usually benefits whoever they want to protest on that given day.

I have no idea. Are they actually boycotting the guy?

I'm guessing at the end of the day, neither company has minded the free publicity.

I had to laugh out loud at this one:



and then Wendy's got in on the act

you know they're paid to say that, right? it's not really their pleasure to serve you at a fast food drive through.

the second part is totally valid, though...it's why I stay away from the Taco Hell even though I like their food. I mean, it's like hot lava on the way out.

Adding JJ's to my list of places I have not eaten and won't. Now 3. CFA, Popeyes and JJ's. I will however chow down on an Arby's beef and cheddar.

Perhaps, but they also tend to hire kids that have a good head on their shoulders and were brought up right. There's not exactly an incentive to go above and beyond for a fast food wage.

I have eaten at JJs a few times and have not had a bad experience.

Yea I know they’re paid to say that but to me that’s better than what you normally get. Tends to be nicer than what you hear anywhere else. Plus that’s part of the experience. We all know you hate CFA for your own reasons but it’s the customer service that helps with their food.
