On 01/30/2023 I came here to Popeyes at 7:50 pm. I placed my order with the cashier and asked if I could get my order cooked fresh, because all the food had been put away and there was no timer on any of the chicken, biscuits, or fries that was left in the food warmer. The cashier placed my order and explained to me that it will be a 25-minute wait on fresh...

Popeyes Store not opened at opening time

I am a doordasher. Store is located in lake st louis missouri. Opening time 10am. I went through drive through to pick up order at 10:50 am when i was told they were closed and would open in 15 minutes. This was Thursday Jan 26. I waited for 15 minutes where then i was ignored therefore having to decline my doordash order . This is not the first time I have experienced rude and blatant disregard from this specific employee otherwise i would have just chalked it up as a bad day but her behavior is unacceptable.

Desired outcome: Something needs to be done. I tried to contact Syed Mansoor , Director of Operations, and his line is unreachable. Messages are full

Popeyes Attitude from a drive thru worker

Drive thru worker at store #13970, date Jan-25-2023, time 4:13.

When I drove up to the menu/speaker no acknowledgment for a good minute. I ordered a drink all he said was "pull up" there was no 'is there anything else I can get you?' I found it very rude. Got up to the window, he told me my total, fine. My card got declined, swapping money around no problem. but I don't like feeling like I'm holding people up. I asked if I could pay inside, at this point he had my card and I had my drink. He told me I had to give the drink back, he did not give my card back until I gave him the drink. (I have a migraine and a 15 month old in my back seat) I get my child out of the car and go in, the cashier super nice, I told her that I was just through the drive thru and my card was declined and that I needed a large coke. She goes to get it for me, the guy from the drive thru starts telling her that "She can do it herself"

I don't know anything about his day and how it is/was going, and he didn't know about mine.
I don't think anyone should be treated that rudely, and I hope he's not normally like this.

Popeyes Spanish Fork Utah location

I am writing regarding your Popeyes franchise here in Spanish Fork. Unbelievable is what I can say. I went there last Friday at approximately 3pm. There was 2 men, Josh and Jay working. That was it. No one in the kitchen to cook food. Orders were being turned away due to no food or lack of. They were doing everything they could to make the customers happy. Where is your staff, if you can't take care of the customers and their orders you should not be open. Those two men deserve a huge raise, bonus and pat on the back. The lobby should have closed. They didn't have time to put a sign up regarding being understaffed. If you don't have the help, you sir should be there working. I have also copied this and sent to corporate. I don't know where your work ethics come from but those two men showed you up and were amazing. I hope that if and when I choose to return, things will have changed for the better. If not, I suggest you sell and find another line of work.

Popeyes Food and service. Hot wings not hot anymore

Russellville Arkansas Popeyes went thru drive thru made my order drove up and was paying my bill I ask the young lady a question and in the middle of me talking the lady picked up her phone and was talking to somebody on the phone. Why are they allowed to bring there phones to the line and the window ? I love your ghost pepper wings BUT there no hot anymore. Weeks ago they where hot and now just regular. If I can not get them hot I won't buy them any more. Manager in their store during the day hours needs to pull all there phone and put in there office they can have them on there breaks. Not happy with this popeyes.

Desired outcome: Just fix it window people need to be nice not rude or use there phones.

Popeyes Drive through policy in Greer SC, Wade Hampton Blvd

My sister and myself are disabled. Its painful to walk into the store and up to the counter when we have two orders to fill, paid for individually. The new policy at the drive through stated above is to go back in line, after waiting how ever long we already have to place an order, pay and receive our food to place the second order in the car. For your information, there are many other choices along Wade Hampton Blvd, in Greer SC that would could visit. The new 1 order per car to me seems your people arent able to multitask two orders per vehicle? This policy is unheard of at any other food establishment in our area and may force us to use the many other options we have available who are more customer service oriented.

Desired outcome: change the drive through policy

Popeyes Chicken and customer service

They tried to serve me returned food from another customer because they gave him my food. It took 45 minutes to get my order. They acted like I was crazy for not wanting the food that had already been served to another customer that brought the food back after having it for 25 minutes. Serving returned food is against the law. This is not the first time but it is the first time I seen it happen I went in the store to see what was talking so long. That's when they told me that my order was served to someone else they said they would make my order over that's what 5 minutes later the man walked in and handed them the bag and said he got the wrong order and they asked him what was in the bag and he told them and they said here's your food ma'am I said that's not my food now this is very unprofessional and it's very dangerous even you do not serve returned food i'd like to know what is going to be done about this this is the location and ashland city tennessee i'm thinking maybe they do this at every popeyes that's owned by this particular business it is a franchise it said they owned a thousand or more restaurants anyway I hope something's done about it i'll never eat there again

Desired outcome: An investigation into this matter they're not just doing it to me a refund and an apology and I would also like to be contacted by someone to let me know that it has been taken care of thank you

Popeyes Wait time hwy 58 Chattanooga

Why is the dining room always closed? Does the owner know at least 5 cars left after waiting over 20 minutes in drive thru line. I’m still waiting in line. I don’t know what’s going on inside but the line moves a car every 10 minutes. Are they short workers? The line is out to the main rd. People are circling building and leaving. This will be last time I come to this location. It’s ridiculous dining room is closed. Their loss is great of people leaving.

Desired outcome: Still waiting in line

Popeyes Fried chicken order

Popeyes at Dammam Airport employee is acting cheap, I ordered 2 piece chicken combo and the guy who was preparing the order put in 2 pieces but the other guy - probably the branch manager - told him to remove one piece and replace it with smaller piece, I highlighted this to him but he started to raise his tone insisting he did the right thing, I walked away and left him the order.

We went to the location at the corner of Irving Blvd and Loop 12 in Irving, Texas. We went inside to place our order. We had chosen the 10 piece chicken with 2 large sides and 5 biscuits as listed on the coupon for $21.99. The girl at the register gave us our total and we proceeded to use our gift card. She told us that the gift card probably wouldn’t work...

Popeyes The rude manager at Popeyes, in Little Elm, Texas

The manager at the Popeyes in Little Elm, Texas on El Dorado Parkway and FM 423, she was extremely rude to me and called me a [censored] inside the restaurant in front of customers, her own workers and worst of all small children in the dinning room. All this because I didn't answer her question. I got her name from an employee, the manager's name is Natalie.

Desired outcome: I hope someone from the popeyes managment team has a talk with this rude, curse talking mgr named Natalie, cursing infront of children who are eating dinner, just so wrong.

I got a Popeyes story for you, 1-6-2023, the Fort Smith AR. one on zero st.. I go there and there is a long line, two people give up their place in the drive thru, so I finally get to where you order and there is a sign that says please pull up to the window, well 20 min later I get there. I was getting 3 orders for the office and they proceeded to tell me they can only take one coupon from me so I explained how long I was in line and she said sorry, so I asked to speak to her manager and she said the same thing after I explained it to her, finally the manager got me her GM and no help there either, so asked for a phone number of her supervisor, she wouldn't give it to me and said she was the GM, to which I said well your a Horrible general Manager then and she told me in a very hateful way that I could just leave and then called me a [censored]. Now im not writing this for any perks from Popeyes in any way, from this experience I am Through with this company, I wouldnt take any thing from them if they offered it. And I will tell this story to the mountain tops, now I know they wont go out of buisness from me telling of what happened to me, but I will not be silent!
