A woman attempting to purchase food for a homeless man from a Popeyes store in Atlanta had the police called on her.
Jo Ortega, a student at Georgia State University, said she was picking up an order for DoorDash at the Popeyes location last month when she saw a man who seemed hungry.
She decided to order the man some chicken, but claims employees at the store near Ponce de Leon Ave would not allow the transaction. Ortega posted a video of the interaction on TikTok and it quickly went viral.
"No ma’am, you can’t do it," one employee told her in the video.
Ortega responded, "Why? He’s asking for food?"
"Ma’am, you can’t do it. I could care less about you recording me, baby," another employee replied before shutting the drive-thru window.
Ortega said Popeyes workers then called the police on her.
"At that moment I was terrified, I thought I was gonna get arrested," she told FOX 5 Atlanta. "Maybe I should just call my family, and I might not be coming home tonight."
Atlanta Police confirmed to Fox News Digital that they were called to the incident and said no arrests were made.

Well, they did call the police on her.
What was she supposed to ‘think’?
And that is what happens
I’m moving from a close in suburb to an exurb. The close in suburb Wally World is a damn mess. The exurban one is a decent shopping experience, it’s like it’s two different stores. And the close in suburb still goes after shoplifters, works closely with the local PD, which is still good.
