The thing is, the POS computer is prompting the order taker for those things he/she is asking about. It's a combo meal, so they get promted for spicy/mild, sizes, sides, and drinks in some order. So better to let them follow their script. The order will go faster, and more likely be correct at the window (realtive to Popeye's mean success rate).

I watched a rap battle between two employees at a Popeyes in Nola on a Wednesday afternoon.

One rapped that he'd dump his opponent's chicken head in his chicken grease. The other retorted "I work the drive thru, I take my mac-10 and drive by you." To which drew a resounding OHHHHHHHH from the audience waiting to order.

I'm not real sure who won.

This may be the most Popeye's thing that's ever happened.

It's why I don't go anymore. The chicken might be good and the biscuits are on point. Their service sucks bad enough to offset the marginal food. Haven't been in years and don't miss it.

Mild chicken from Popeyes? Baw. Turn in your man card. 

Don't you know anything about ordering at Popeyes? If you want spicy, you say mild, and if you want mild, you say spicy because there are going to give you the opposite of what you asked for.

But seriously, in New Orleans anyway, the mild already has a good kick to it and is delicious too. The spicy is great, but your butthole usually pays a heavy price.

The only fast food I eat is Chic-Fil-A. Theyre the only ones that hire competent employees.

I really like Chic-Fil-A, and their customer service is superior, but I'm rarely full after ordering one of their meals. Their portions are pretty small (and you need a magnifying glass to see their nuggets if you ever get those).

Also, Canes hires very competent employees. It's one of the reasons they are doing so well.

A Popeyes employee might laugh when you request something, because—-well shite, what are you even doing trying to request something from Popeyes? Does one ask Mt. Everest to move aside when walking through the Himalaya? Does the lion request clearance from the elephant for safe passage across the savanna? Do you, on hearing a hurricane roaring towards your house, ask it to stop by the store for some Pedialyte and rice crackers, because you’re hungover and really don’t want the hassle of dealing with it and a weather system simultaneously?

No. You don’t get to ask things of the indifferent and superior natural world, and you do not get to ask things of Popeyes.

100% true story-
I asked Popeye’s at a drive thru for green beans on the side

I got green beans, but they were put in the bag—sideways.
