they must all suck...although the worst FF place I have ever been in was Plaquemine BK. Some racist mofos in that place. Don't ever tell a black woman she is not next in line

The same thing happened to me at Popeyes on the corner of Bluebonnet and Burbank. I waited 20 minutes after I paid. I was actually in the drive through and I didn't get my food until I eventually backed up into the window where they took my money and waited for the manager to bring me my chicken. The drive through line wrapped around the building while they got my order out to me.

yes, I'm sure they spit in it (or worse) but it was a matter of principle at that point.

Are you going to be Ok? Most people have real difficulties moving on after such heinous acts of oppression.

they told me once (before I swore it off forever) that they "ran out of chicken."

it was total BS.


I'm black and I have had them tell this to me several times.

Usually late at night close to closing time.

yeah, that's for 300 years of slavery.

(another tie-in to the Vandy rape case--if you watched the trial or read transcripts etc, you'd see that Popeye's is a good place to meet to discuss your rapes of white women)

Just ate lunch there and they were completing all the black peoples orders first. It was so obvious that we started watching to see what happened. The white peoples orders we're put off to the side, weren't filled until after a long wait and asking the cashier. Once they asked, the person assembling the orders would make them. One old couple never asked and waited a good 15-20 minutes. Black peoples orders were completed quickly and ahead of "other" people in line.
The chicken was delicious though.



Maybe because they know the old people wont throw a fit if their chicken isn't out quickly?

Man I barely made it to Popeyes drive thru last night before closing. It was like 11:55. I was stressing hard!

I don't eat Popeye's a whole lot, but when I do it's usually from the one on Staring. And the people there always seem super nice.

I have waited almost 30 minutes at the one on Sherwood one night. It was years ago and they had locked the doors like 45 minutes before closing time. They had said someone suspicious was walking around the parking lot, but we didn't see anybody. Anyway, we ordered and a few other people who came in after us ordered, and we all sat there and waited. It got to the point where it was hilarious...we were in there for over 30 minutes by the time we got our food. It was awsomely ridiculous.

But they weren't serving one race over another though.

this was early evening on Boulevard (and Ponce) in Atlanta.

I don't blame it on being white. It's just a shitty location. They don't even know what hot mustard, mardi gras mustard, or Cajun Sprinkles are!!!

anyone else speak with a ebonics accent when ordering on the drive through to trick them into not fricking with your order?
