WFDT: 9/7/2020, Labor Day

Dear Friends,

After our dearest of friends started the topic this evening on our favorite fast food meals, my stomach rumbled because I had not eaten anything since last night's Domino's feast.

I went online to see if there were any coupon deals on the Popeyes website, and sure enough, there was. For 8.99, I purchased a five piece meal with two sides and two biscuits. I had never ordered online, and it was a seamless process.

I had Mother bring me to our friendly neighborhood Popeyes and I went in to retrieve the order. The respectful porter at the register told me they had no evidence of the order. He summoned the manager who confirmed there was no such order in their system. I then showed them my cell phone receipt, and all was well. To make up for corporate's error, she gave me four spicy breasts, when I believe normally, this meal would only include one. The other four pieces would be a thigh, a drumstick, and two wings. Chicken wings, by the way, are the biggest food hoax in history. That people order these pieces of bone and fat as a meal is evidence of our decline.

I am now basking in the glory of this delicious meal. For all those who say Popeyes has bad service, I say it is likely the corporate company that is setting them up for failure. How could they not have received my order even my credit card was charged? These problems are not with the friendly staff -- they are with the corporate system, which is broken.





Sides of Popeyes red beans and mashed potatoes remind us that we should never settle for French fried potatoes.



These biscuits are such a letdown, every time. I wish Popeyes would go back to the original recipe and make biscuits in-house like they did when Mr. Al ran the company.



The spicy breasts are anything but a letdown. They are the best fast food entree around, and I have yet to find better fried chicken anywhere.

Yours,
TulaneLSU
