I find they usually give you an extra 1 or 2 if they are all small. Canes is the only place that doesn't do this.

I also seem to get at least one extra piece of chicken at Popeyes. Sometimes two or three.

I stopped going when they stopped filling up the red beans cup. Who wants 1/2 a cup of red beans.


I stopped going when it took 20 minutes to get a 3-piece spicy and none of the employees give a shite

Let me know when you order a 16pc tenders and they give you a 16pc mixed, find out when you check the order in the parking lot, go back in with the chicken and receipt, get your 16pc tenders and keep your 16 pc mixed.

Not the biggest canes fan, but they do offer a "naked" option which is fried chicken without the batter. Not as good of a hidden substitute as BOBs on your toast but just a friendly FYI.

I ordered an 8 pc, all white spicy, the other day and got 8 breasts. The bag weighed about 15 lbs.

If they screw up my order, which they likely do, I always sweet talk the manager, who is usually a black woman, and I always get extra pieces..

I went to Popeyes the other day for the first time in probably 10 years. We were traveling, it was right off the interstate (I-12 O'Neal Lane exit), and the SO wanted it.

Contrary to popular perception, it was quick, accurate, and very reasonably priced. Not to mention tasty.

ETA: I did go inside and order in person. Not sure if this makes a difference in service.

I would bet that they just fill the boxes and don’t bother counting. They don’t seem to really care about being accurate.

I always order the 3 piece tender combo and they always give me 5 pieces lol.
Yes, they do that with me also.
Not only when I order in the store, but also when I order for myself, and my parents, in the drive-thru, one box always has an extra tender too.

I used to get free Cokes from the young ladies at the I-35 (Stemmons) and Mockingbird Jack-in-the-Box in Dallas.

That's definitely me. I wait for spicy nearly every time I go.

Popeyes only variation is leaving out things you order.

Amazon did that for me on a $800 recliner. They emailed me saying it had been delivered, but it wasn't at either my carport or front door. I called them and told them I had not received it, and they said they'd send another one at no charge. It showed up as being shipped in "MY Orders" with a $0 balance. The day the second one was being delivered, I found they had put the first one on my back porch. I told the delivery guys To keep the second one on the truck & send it back to them.
If I had been an a-hole, I probably could have kept both of them.

The Popeyes I’d frequent usually would give me 2 breast and a wing for a three piece white when the regular workers were there. When they weren’t it was always 1 breast and 2 wings. A three piece tenders would be five when they were there otherwise three tenders.
