Well, that's just your opinion. And it's a terrible opinion.

One thing I've noticed since leaving Baton Rouge is that nearly all fast food restaurants up here have quality workers and good service. Inlcuding Popeye's.

But let’s raise the minimum wage they say!

Result:
1. People cost more
2. Goods cost more
3. Inflation
4. Your raise is not a raise anymore

I'd love to see a photo of an original cane's chicken strip. They were 7-8 inches long as I recall.


If you want to boil a frog, put them in cold water and turn the heat up slowly. Just like others do, for example, DirecTV, Dish, Suddenlink, insurance companies, and the US, state, and local government, et Cetera.

box combo today and for the first time it cost me $10


I remember working at Cane's #8 in the Mall of LA (the newest Cane's at the time) in high school.

$5.45 for a Snack Combo (Three finger combo) w/ Drink
$6.54 for a Box Combo (Five finger combo) w/ Drink

^^That was after their first price increase. I wanna say the Snack Combo was $5.05 when I first started.

"Never Frozen" - bunch of BS. Those fingers would always come in frozen. My hands would go numb from mixing the frozen fingers into the MSG.

And wholesale food prices are high, it's not a surprise retail prices are increasing.


Kudos to you if you can find a Popeyes without a line wrapped around the building.

I remember when a box combo with a drink was $4.55 and had five chicken fingers. Circa 1998

I remember when Cane's took their time and properly breaded their tenders. Now its mushy junk with no care taken. Sauce is the best there is, though.

Canes now isn't even fresh

Back in the day it was hot, steaming, the breading would slip off the piping hot chicken. You would burn your mouth on it.

It was juicy as all hell... you'd go to dunk it in the sauce and some of the breading would like get stuck in the sauce it was so hot and moist

Now you get pieces of chicken that are like the tough piece of the breast... and the breading is crunchy... and it's room temperature

GROSS

I can verify Zaxby is cutting regular breast meat into strips for their 4-piece meal. I’d bet RnC is doing similar.

My caniac after taxes was 12.83 less than a year ago. Went there the other day and they said something over 15 dollars, so I told them I forgot my wallet and drove off

Popingos(Ascension), Brothers(Nola Area), Krispy Krunchy(South La). All better and all have chicken on Sunday mornings a LEAST 3 hours before Canes even opens.
And if you don't consider Gas Station chicken to be fast food chicken, you're stupid.

This is universally true. I notice it every time I leave Louisiana.

I think I told you about our McDonalds experience heading home from Knoxville in 2017?

Was about an hour or so west/south of Knoxville. We got a shite ton of breakfast for all my biscuits. Order was fricked up and had to go back inside.

Those trashy white folks were most pleasant motherfrickers I've ever met in the service industry (strippers don't count).
