Popeyes Corporate

Popeyes is 99% Franchisee owned. The Franchisor (AFCE) went 3 years without having a President for Popeyes. No investment in Marketing until 6million over the next year that started September 1, 2008. The current marketing plan should provide transaction increases, but still show negative comp sales. The new President Cheryl Bacholder does not listen to her franchisees let alone her employees. The stock has fallen to $9 per share and if comp sales have anything to do with it, it will fall even farther. Ms. Bacholder has no real qualifications to run a major brand and Popeyes just might not make it.

Being in business is not as easy as others may think but with God on your side you can make it! You also need to have a realistic look at your business plan and have professionals in place to give sound advise.

Base on this article we do not know 100% as to what is going on here. However, it seems like the individual who wrote this article has much more information than us readers. That still does not change my opinion that the writer seems to want to bash the new president.

There must be something very personal about this article and that totally turned me off. Dear writer shame on you for being one sided!

Man, what happened to Popeye's Chicken?! I stopped in the Amarillo Tx. T.A. truckstop for a break on an 1100 mile trip. We don't have a Popeye's near us in N.M. so, it's always, well it used to be, a real treat to run up on a Popeyes while on the road....

I love Popeyes chicken and also their cajun rice. My biggest pet peeve is ordering chicken and it's cold. Who wants to eat cold chicken? Well, this particular Popeyes in Fort Worth, Tx is the worst. But the closest to me. The people are rude and always have an...

14 Nov 2011, Popeye's in Laurel, MS.

I placed my order at 2:54PM. The shrimp sandwich was good, however, the staff is the rudest that I have ever encountered.

This is not my first visit to this fast food resteraunt. I would go more often but am so dissatisfied with the staff, I can't stomach going more than a couple of times a year. The staff has never, I mean never, said please or thankyou. They will be speaking with other staff rather than give the customer their full attention.

When she hands me my meal I say thankyou whereas she turns away without acknowledging my existance or saying "you're welcome". I observed other staff getting their meals and sitting in the customer area cutting up (you can hear this thru the drive-thru window. I believe Popeyes management needs to send secret shoppers to this resteraunt to verify my experience....they will agree with me 100 percent.

I am so disgusted that I will never eat in the Laurel MS Popeye's again. Most of the staff needs to be fired, especially the supervisor who allows this behavior during their watch.

Customer Service Horrible

I had ordered the Chicken & Shrimp order with 2 biscuits and mashed potato as a side order. The trainee just handed me the bag without the drink or mashed potato. When I reminded him about the missing items, he just said "Oh" and gave me the rest of my order. I asked him if he put in the biscuits, without even checking he assured me that it was there. When I reached home I found the biscuits were missing. I lost it and when I called the supervisor to give him a piece of my mind he hangs up on me. I drive up to the store and confronted him, by telling him to keep up with North American standards, he just argued with me without even offering to compensate for my time and effort. Adding insult to injury, the trainee jumps in saying that it was my job to check my order. I guess "Popeyes" and customer service don't go hand in hand. Any Tom, *** and Harry with a few dimes in his pocket can buy this franchise. Moral of the story try and avoid this franchise, KFC is a good alternative.

This is an example of both poor training and of a nutty customer. Yes, the employee should have checked and properly thanked the customer.

But yelling and screaming and confronting a manager and employees does not fix the situtation either. You do not need to be compensated for your time and effort. You should have checked your bag before you left. You also should not expect that a trainee is going to know everything and get everything correct until they have worked there for a while.

Mistakes happen. They especially happen when you are employing high school kids, high school drop outs, and people who could not work anywhere else because they are too low class to keep a better job. If you lost it and called and yelled at the manager, they were completely right in hanging up on you and if you drove all the way there because you were mad, I would have had the police remove you.

You got mad and made an *** out of yourself over a human mistake and biscuits. Are you an adult or are you two years old?

Very rude service at the counter

Yesterday March 27, 2008, at 5:10pm, I stopped at the Popeyes store (2382) on Rainbow Drive in Gadsden, Al. When I arrived at the counter a girl was talking to a man who had already ordered. After waiting over five minutes, I asked when could I place my order. She said I guess now. I ordered and paid, she did not say thank you have a good day or even go to ***. I ordered legs and breast, When I got home I noticed I received legs and thighs, I do not think it was an accident. I could not see her name, but it started out La and ended in ite. Service like this should not happen. David Mackey, Gadsden, Al.

Served half cooked chicken

I received my order for 9 pieces of mix chicken and when I got home and start putting the pieces on a platter a located a chicken thigh that had blood on the side and after opening up found it still raw at the bone. I contacted the Popeye's restaurant and informed them of the problem and it seems like okay I am sorry so what. I will be taking the chicken thigh back up there. I work with the public and know how frustating it can be but not cooking the chicken done because you have more then five customers waiting is not a profitable action.

Old chicken staff complaint

Philadelphia, PA. Please if you live in W. Phila. complain and demand better service at the following location, 5610 Lancaster Ave. The chicken served was old and very dry. Also, when I walked in one of the cashiers was sitting behind the counter eating like they were at home. I know employees deserve necessary breaks however, proper training needs to be implemented so that you are not eating and licking your fingers in front of customers! As a consumer we must demand better quality food from this franchise and customer service. I did follow up and call customer service and logged a complaint about my experience.

Were they black? It is hard to keep a black person from eating fried chicken if they are around it.

Kinda like tryin' to keep vultures off a day old carcass. It would take a LOT of training and I'm still not convinced the results would be satisfactory.
