Atlanta Popeyes workers ‘violently’ attacked customer in the drive-thru after she attempted to correct her order: suit

A new lawsuit accuses employees at a Popeyes restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia, of attacking a woman in the drive-thru after she attempted to have her order corrected.

The incident allegedly happened in September 2022 at the Popeyes location on Cleveland Avenue in southwest Atlanta.

After Denetra Dawson attempted to fix an incorrect order, employees allegedly attacked her, pulling out a chunk of her hair and leaving her bruised, according to the lawsuit filed Friday. Dawson said in the lawsuit that when she tried to have her order fixed, words were exchanged before the employees attacked.

“I didn’t even think I was going to make it back to my kids,” Denetra Dawson told Fox 5 Atlanta. “I simply went to get food for my kids, I still don’t understand why me.” ***

[A] attorney Mawuli Davis, who is working on the case, told the outlet that one employee physically opens Dawson’s passenger door, enters the vehicle and begins to attack her.

Dawson said three employees were involved in the attack and that the only way she could stop them was by pulling out a gun.

According to an incident report, two people — Tenice Taylor and a minor — were charged with battery. A third person identified as Tenister Evans was charged with misdemeanor obstruction of an officer.

“They ripped out the braid out of her hair, all the way down to the root,” Davis said.

Dawson said she was left with physical and emotional scars after the attack. “They took my identity, I take pride in my hair, I can’t get certain hairstyles,” she said.

Davis claims the restaurant’s manager had a documented criminal past involving violent acts, and that Popeyes showed negligence by hiring this person and not conducting proper background checks. ***

Strange. She can pay a small fortune for her hairdo I.D. but can’t afford to get a voter I.D.

You made me think of how far we’ve come. “ROOTS” in the 70s was about African history. Now it’s about their “identity” hairdos.

the medium IQ, medium impulse control folks can dictate to the rest of us acceptable names.

Since they removed the N word from the vernacular. One can no longer accurately assess, address or convey what’s going on situations such as this. The elephant in the room is an unimpeded mainstay as a result.

that sort of action would seem to be more normal at a Southern Louisiana Popeye’s than a northern way up in Atlanta unless the Atlanta one is staffed by Southern Louisianans.
