Kids were excited for Popeye's, and stopped at this location (unusual for us) to get $30 family meal to take home. I went in, ordered at the kiosk. Got home and the chicken had paper baked into it (see photos). Had to throw it all out, and do something else for disappointed kids.
But what's worse is I called the store the next day (this morning) and the general manager refuses to refund it unless I can produce a receipt. If the kiosk printed one, I'm sorry but I just tossed it. I was clearly there last night as I have their order number sticker on the bag, and other details, but manager refuses. I still have the tainted chicken, and he refuses. And he suggested there's no way they could have given me chicken with this paper baked into it. He offered me a replacement meal but I'm not going to be back in that area.
More about this place. When I arrived, I stood at the counter waiting for anyone to take my order for a pretty long time. A door dash driver came in after me and he too was waiting a long time. We could hear the crew just chatting in the back. Mixed in with prepping some drive thru order, I think, but also for sure just having casual conversation. I gave up and went to the kiosk. The door dash driver got a bit upset and started calling out for staff, calling it unprofessional that he'd had to wait so long. And he was right. But the staff immediately escalated things by lecturing him that they were busy doing an order in the back (an exaggeration imo). I don't think they understood how long we'd stood there waiting. The driver yelled back at them, and the manager abruptly canceled the guy's order and 86'd him. It's true the driver lost his temper in the back and forth but that whole situation was the staff's fault if you ask me. First by being oblivious to the inside customers waiting (ok a human mistake?), and then by reflexively lecturing the guy when he complained.
