I happened to be driving past a Popeyes yesterday and thought I’d go ahead and try one.
First, the employees in that store have clearly had enough. I waited in the drive-thru line, which you couldn’t escape once you entered it. It took over a half hour just for about 5 cars. I finally got up to the microphone and there was a big sign saying “Cash only. Management”
I placed my order (a 12 piece meal, and one chicken sandwich), and then drove around, and waited, and waited some more. The store looked like a war zone inside. The employees were sitting down just to take a break. Clearly, this sandwich is driving insane amounts of business into the store.
The girl eventually handed me my meal, and just before driving off, I checked it and found that they had....shorted me the chicken sandwich. I told them, and they made me wait a few more minutes before finally giving me my sandwich.
It was delicious - a totally different experience than what you get from Chik-Fil-A, but really delicious in its own way. The chicken is MUCH crunchier on the outside, but is cooked perfectly, and the bun is just right. That said, I don’t think I’d switch to this over Chick-Fil-A if I had a choice between the two, but this Popeyes sandwich is the real deal.
GEORGE: I didn't get any bread.
JERRY: Just forget it. Let it go.
GEORGE: Um, excuse me, I - I think you forgot my bread.
SOUP NAZI: Bread -- $2 extra.
GEORGE: $2? But everyone in front of me got free bread.
SOUP NAZI: You want bread?
GEORGE: Yes, please.
SOUP NAZI: $3!
GEORGE: What?
SOUP NAZI: No soup for you!
