First Time in Popeye's in a Couple of Years

We don't have a Popeye's in the town where I live, but I was in Fort Worth earlier this afternoon and decided to give it a go.
I ordered my usual: Two piece white, spicy with Cajun Rice and unsweet tea with packet of Sweet and Low sweetener.
I was told they no longer have Cajun Rice. Bummer. I have never liked their red beans and rice so I got fries (not bad).
I was told they don't carry Sweet and Low or any other sweetener. They offered sweet tea (I can't take sugar - I'm pre-diabetic). I took the unsweet tea as is.
The didn't take Amex. I used my bank debit card.
The spicy wasn't!
It's not the old Popeye's.

Sounds like it was to me

Guess you've given me an excuse to eat at Popeyes - to see if things are as bad as you say they are.

Popeye's is tasty, but always gives me both diarrhea and horrible stomach aches.

the only acceptable order at Popeyes is spicy dark meat, red beans/rice, a biscuit and unsweet tea. Had you ordered correctly you’d have been just fine

But the biggest screw up was when they stopped the "all you can eat buffet" in Lafayette last year.

I immediately discount your opinion and frankly, I question your entire upbringing

Popeyes is broken. It's a shining example of a business with a great product that is horribly managed. I've given up on Popeyes after too many fricked up orders, shitty execution and horrendous service.

How long did you have to wait?

Pre-diabetic and eating fries and fried chicken.

Then why eat the fries?

It's not as good as it was years ago. But it is OK.
The biscuits are ok, not like they used to be.
Now the chicken sandwich is legit. Not bad at all.
I'll still go for a shrimp po-boy sometimes since there isn't a lot of options here in Fort Worth for po-boys.

My college (1992) standing order was a special they ran: 4 legs, 4 thighs, 4 biscuits for $4.
That’s when the thighs weren’t the bitch arse little pieces they serve today

Certain locations still have Cajun rice

I hadn't been in years, too. Just none around here. A new store opened a few months ago just a couple miles away. Have been twice. Food has been good although a little slow as expected. Order online is a huge improvement over the old drive thru BS.
Last time they had a special. 6 tenders and 2 regular sides for $11.99. Red beans sucked. Seasoned fries were ok but I'd rather regular fries. No cajun rice.
