The Canes on plank is by far the worse service I've ever had at Canes.

Yea, she never straight up says she is the CEO but she absolutely implies that she is like Dave Thomas or the real Wendy


I never got that feel. I always assumed that she was to be seen as the woman who cooks the chicken, to go along with the whole Louisiana Kitchen feel.

As a slight tangent, can we all agree that the Super Popeyes was the best version of Popeyes?

That's the one I was talking about.

Worked up there for a few years... 2008-2010 or so. Went there from lunch from time to time and always had good service.

Lady 2 looks like someone who could sell tofu. Would you put her in your commercial if you owned Popeye's?

This. That white CEO was on Undercover Boss(a TV show). They never hid the fact that she is CEO or implied the black lady is.
