Lafayette Woman Assaulted with Hot Chicken at Popeyes

Not sure what to make of this. Manager got fired but she seemed quite prickly.


---
The incident occurred when Decuir returned to the Popeyes location on Johnston Street to address an error in her order, which she had placed via a mobile app. Upon requesting a correction or refund, a confrontation ensued with the manager, who allegedly threw the hot chicken at her, resulting in first-degree burns.

“I was assaulted,” Decuir said. “I was belittled. I mean, it was a horrible experience, and no one should have to go through that.”

“He wanted to pull me up for 25 minutes to drop the chicken,” she said. “I’ve already waited over half an hour, for order, that’s not right. So that’s whenever I asked for at least a refund and it wasn’t good. From there he took the chicken. He was like, ‘well, give me the chicken’ and I was like, ‘well, can I have the receipt?’ Because I will be back for my money and to complain and I don’t think he liked that I said that.”

Decuir described the moment when the manager allegedly threw the hot chicken at her, causing burns on her neck, chest, arms, legs and feet. She immediately contacted the police, who then called EMTs to the scene. Decuir, who is disabled and recovering from a severe accident, said she felt targeted and helpless during the confrontation.

Decuir told the news station she is seeking an attorney in the matter. She claimed she suffered physical and emotion distress after the incident
