no, no one has contacted me from Popeyes I guess because she’s the GM I hear

Original review Dec 22, 2024
The manager, or GM, Shakira T, was extremely rude when I came to the store to pick up a DoorDash order. I suspect she might be involved in drug use because her behavior was erratic.

The right-side door was locked so we used the drive-through at 11 AM on Saturday, December 21, and she was extremely rude. Despite our civil greeting, she responded rudely. The drive-through was empty, as was the store, yet she instructed us to use another door and questioned our thought process. I asked her for her name - she identified herself as Shakira T.

The DoorDash order I had was for a gentleman named Eric T. She confirmed the order was ready but refused to give it to me because I asked for her name, telling me to get out of the store. She also said someone else would pick it up. She then told an African-American male associate not to give me the order and walked off to the back of the restaurant with her food.

I've never been disrespected like this in my life. As a God-loving person who moved from California, originally from North Carolina, I've never eaten at a Popeyes before. But after this incident, I don't think I ever will. It was undeniably the most 'ratchet' experience I've had.

This occurred at the Popeyes located at 100 Deabun Loop in Chesapeake, Virginia. Please, I implore you, avoid this restaurant - Shakira T was unnecessarily aggressive.

Quit insulting this restaurant food chain. They did nothing wrong at all.

It’s always funny when someone describes themselves as God-loving and characterizes their behavior as civil, yet uses terms like ratchet and accuses others of being on drugs. Not very civil or Christian-like of you.

They are suppose to be demure all the time, just because they are Christian? I consider you thinking THAT to be what's funny.

I made a purchase at a location for a 12-piece original chicken meal, and half of the chicken was wings. When you spend that kind of money for a family meal, I don't feel half the order being wings is suitable for that price.

Popeye's should begin with a capital letter. Your English is poor and not proper.

You're the one messing up. Not them.

Maybe if you could communicate in proper Engish, they would not mess up your order.

Proper English. You are spelling words like can't without an apostrophe. You have no punctuation.

It seems like they tried, but they refused to make things right. Now, if they just asked for a refund without trying to get them to make things right, I would agree with you.

But this person actually tried. It is the 1/25 who is trying to return the food for a refund.

Guest
reply icon Replying to comment of Zachary P Mev

In her post she states “if IN restaurant you may get the right order”. The implication is this was a delivery or customer pickup.

OP doesn’t state she physically returned to store with food in hand for a refund/remake. A delivery requires contacting the delivery service for any quality issues for a refund/remake. A customer pickup requires returning to the store.

So no, this does not appear to be that rare in-person instance where service is not provided. It’s the same tired “what’s going to happen over the phone”?

Terrible food and service

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - Terrible food and service
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - Terrible food and service - Image 2

We went to Popeyes in Springboro, Ohio. The first order was overcharged; the 10-piece tenders was $16.99, and we were charged $23.37.

Had that corrected, we were told there would be a 10-minute wait on tenders for our carryout order. While sitting and waiting in the dining room, we were approached and told we were being locked in because the dining room was closing. We finally got our food, which had now exceeded those 10 minutes. We got our order.

The employee didn't know how to unlock the door, so we had to wait while another employee was called. Another customer was trying to get in. He was told, when the door was finally opened for us, that the dining room was closed, to which he responded, 'No problem, I'll go across the street.' Across the street, which, by the way, is KFC. We drove home, which isn’t that far.

Imagine the disappointment when you see your ten tenders are ridiculous in size, looking more like chicken chunks. Continue the disappointment. The tenders we had to wait for were hard and cold. I was super confused about that fact.

It gets better; they were hard, and the first bite was like, 'Where is the chicken?' Popeyes is pricey for families. We were looking forward to our dinner. Oh, and the 4-piece chicken was hard and cold, and the chicken was tough.

It was a terrible, overpriced, disappointing visit. It will be a long time before we try it again.

You want a refund, return the food. While you were sitting in the dining room for "years", why did you check your food before you left?

Sounds like you ate the food but want your money back.

Easy solution here, don't go back. Trust me they won't miss a customer like you.

We all know that they are lying to get a free meal.

I agree with everyone. If you cannot afford something, do without. They should have returned the food if they were unhappy.

The camera will see that the altercation happened when the manager tried to strike me and hit me. I didn't retaliate; I just argued back with her, and then I left the store.

Then I notified another manager about my situation.

Until then, I was told not to come back, so I haven't been back yet. Please let me know what steps I can take to get my job back.

I have photos of a staff manager shaking their rear end at me through the drive through. And telling me that he didnt care about my concerns.

Because earlier him and another employee verbally assaulted my mother when she ordered her food and was displeased with how it treated and that it was the wrong order. The location of this Popeyes location is 1416 S Military Trail

Customer complaint

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - Customer complaint

Today at approximately 12:15pm I arrived at the Popeyes located 7706 Landover Road MD, 20770. I order my food through the drive through.

I order a 2-piece combo and then notice the sign below which said," Life is short "for only $2 more. Upgrade to a large combo and get an extra side + large drink! The cashier advised that the offer I was looking at was not valid, but I could see it, so I am requesting that you honor your advertisement she replied to no. Her English was very limited, and then the other person also did not speak any English.

I said this is a problem you all don't understand what I'm saying.

Then proceeded to the window only to have a man tell me we are not serving you go somewhere else. Not try to solve the problem but blamed me for holding the company to ad that was visible to the public.

If she was able to relay the offer was no longer valid, then she understands English well enough. You received “no” or one word responses because you were probably running your nasty mouth. Hence a third person entering the conversation telling you no service.

Guest

The offer was not valid, get on with your life. Find something more productive to worry about in your life.

I did not pick up the order at the incorrect location, and I am requesting a refund.

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - Refund

I was charged for an online order that I had made but never received. I went to pick up my order, and when I got up to the speaker, there was an automated message that came over the speaker informing me they had closed, so I left and figured since I never picked it up, then the order would have been voided and I would have never been charged, but that wasn't the case. They still charged me, and I went into the store the next day to talk to a manager, and they proceeded to tell me they couldn't do anything because I had ordered it online and they couldn't fix orders made through a third party.

That isn't Popeye's fault. You need to contact the company you ordered thru--UberEats, GrubHub, etc.

and explain the situation. They should provide a refund.

I placed a web order at 4:17. I didn't receive my food until 5:02, and my food was cold.

It looked like they had forgotten about my order. I was told it would take just a minute over and over.

Multiple people's orders were made and given, and I was just waiting there. And then to get my food and find it was cold and disgusting; this is unacceptable.

"Not only a refund but also an additional amount because of my time.", another I want free food. Your "time" means nothing to anyone but yourself.

If the food was cold, return it and ask for a refund, and don't go back. It's pretty simple.

Poor customer service !

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I placed an online order and went to pick the order up. The young man at the counter was busy texting and asked me for my name.

He looked down at his phone again to complete his text and did not acknowledge me once I gave him my name. When he finally decided to acknowledge me, he asked me my name again. I gave it to him, and he proceeded to fulfill my order. I brought it to his attention that one of the items that he put together for me was wrong.

He went back and corrected it, and still left it out of the bag. I checked my order and there were certain items missing, and they decided to substitute an item without asking me if I was OK with the substitution. When I went back and requested a partial refund for the items that they did not have available, I'm not sure what he said to the manager because he said it in Spanish, and she came upfront and literally snatched the bag from me and told me she was just going to give me a refund. So I asked her why she had to refund the entire order.

It was for two different people. She rudely said again, 'I'm just going to return your money to you.' Very unprofessional to say she was the manager on duty. I in turn reported it to Popeyes customer service.

They said someone would contact me within 48 hours, and just as I suspected, I have not gotten a reply yet, and which I don’t. That's the quality of people that we have working in the customer service industry today.
