New one at Popeye's

Apparently at my Popeyes they've figured out a new angle. I'm not sure what it is but instead of pulling up they asked me to back up past a pole then pull back up to the window. I know it's gaming their metrics but how?

What?

It counts you as a new customer so their timer resets. According to corporate, you are going to the most efficient Popeyes in the country

I figured that was part of it, but the part I can't figure out is how management doesn't notice they have more drive-thru customers than drive-thru orders. I paid once, but was counted as two cars if I backed up, pulled up to the window, and triggered the sensor again. If I just pull forward, I don't trigger the sensor a second time. Maybe they don't look at the number of cars that went through the drive-thru versus how many drive-thru orders they had?



Geauxt, it's something new that the workers at my Popeye's are having customers do to game their metrics when they can't fill an order in time. Instead of asking me to pull forward and wait like most Popeyes, they asked me to back up past a pole (that I assume marks their car sensor) and then pull up to the window again to wait.

Nah. It's too early to be drunk. This is the withdrawal talking.

I understood you perfectly.

They did that to me at Jack In The Box one time. I didn't understand it either. Still don't.

I've had them ask me to do that before

Could be timer reset but I have also heard they will mark you as a “drive off” and hope you pay with cash and they just stick money in pocket. They gonna get der $15 and hour believe dat
