I don't know the circumstances of this event, but I feel so sorry for Popeye's employees. They basically earn minimum wage and they are having to deal with the worst of society, people acting like lunatics just for a sandwich

The Popeye's near my house has been packed every evening. Like 30 to 40 cars in the drive through, they even extend down the road half a mile or more. One day last week I left work around 1:30 and saw that it wasn't that busy so I pulled in and when I went in they refused to sell me a sandwich. They told me they weren't allowed to sell them until after 4 PM.

I think they are just doing shit like this to get free press attention and drive up the demand for their sandwich. A man has already been killed and that company is doing shit like this? I'll never eat there

Beyond voting rights, the most troubling racialized Popeyes story broke just a few days ago. Earlier this week the New York Times reported, a young black man lost his life after he was stabbed to death in Maryland. The story made national news. This was not due to the homicide. Young black men are murdered at a shocking rate in Maryland yearly; few of them are mentioned in the New York Times.

The crime drove headlines because it happened at a Popeyes, and according to the restaurant’s spokesperson, it was “related to the release of the sandwich.” The news of black on black crime initiated by Popeyes' new fried chicken sandwich bolted across the internet. Much of the reporting’s sensational nature echoed the tone from the well-worn 1990s accounts of young black men killing each over Jordans and Starter jackets. But like these sneaker stories, the hyper-focus on pathologized details of a crime can obscure the more substantial injustice. In so many cases like this, it is not some uncontrollable craze for shoes, or jackets, or chicken that precipitates black violence, but rather broader structural desperation created by racism and segregation which animate crimes. The stabbing took place at a franchise in Oxon Hill, Maryland, where more than 70 percent of the neighborhood's residents are black, and the unemployment rate is 10 percent (more than twice the national rate). Yet the morbid fascination fueling this story is not concerned with consequences of communal divestment—many find theories of chicken-induced murder more interesting.

People, I went in to try that sandwich and Popeye's is ridiculously packed. The staff is over worked and the customers I'd like to punch in the face myself. They get pissed off waiting for so long. A woman was waiting for her large order and others were getting there stuff before hers was done and she was complaining. One of the workers told her she was next and was going to get her order together. Then after putting together one box she stopped. Turned to tell the lady they were out of the boneless wings, and if she liked to have tenders instead. Of course the woman if she had a gun would have shot up the Popeye's. She didn't want the tenders and the woman was telling her it's the same thing. They ended up giving her 5 pieces of chicken.

Anyway, I blame Popeye's Marketing team and they definitely got more business happening. These sandwiches are better than a frozen chicken pattie you get from the other stores but it's not worth all the aggravation. I just wanted it because they didn't have it before, I wanted to know what I was missing and because everyone else wanted it. They took it away to make this shit crazy like this.

They need to take it away again. For the violence to stop.

At this point, I'm never patronizing Popeye's, I don't give a fuck about their chicken sandwich.

I'm not completely averse to fast food. At the very least, I like trying things I've never tried before. But Popeye's has been playing ridiculous games with this viral fad, and I'm starting to put at least some of the blame for their customers' bad behavior on the company itself.

They created artificial scarcity and kept up that scarcity even as customers and employees started being assaulted, and now someone has died. I see this as akin to people being crushed to death at Wal-Mart on Black Friday. The company isn't directly responsible, but they created the conditions for it, and, as a prospective customer, I'm holding them accountable by withholding my business. And I can see a good argument for lawyers and/or legislators holding the company legally responsible as well.

Popeyes Employees Seen Making Chicken Sandwiches on Trash Bin

"The Popeyes chicken sandwich has been causing all kinds of mayhem since the re-release a few weeks ago. Previously, a Popeye’s employee slammed a white woman in the parking lot of one of the locations after she allegedly called the entire staff the n-word. Now, an employee was recently seen making chicken sandwiches on top of a garbage can.

The owner of the Fairfax, Virginia location has apologized for the incident and said the restaurant was struck with orders after only being opened for a few days. The garbage can situation came out of needing space to fulfill a 100-chicken sandwich order that came in. According to reports, the woman seen making the chicken sandwiches on the garbage can was directly in the line of sight of customers waiting to order."

Seven Popeyes workers were fired after footage of a massive brawl in a Milwaukee outlet went viral on Wednesday.

Video recorded by a customer inside Popeyes shows female and male staff hitting each other as one worker tries to break up the fight on the restaurant floor.

The shocking incident happened at Popeyes near 76th and Good Hope Road around 9.30pm.

Richard Fourte, who recorded the footage, said he didn't want to get his food at the drive-thru because of a long queue so he went inside instead.

'I said to myself, I said, "Wow, there's a lot of people working here." I heard one of them yell, "It's a fight," Fourte said.

'They ran to the back by the grills, OK. Now, there was a fight back there. I didn't get that one on tape.

'Honestly, I wasn't even going to get the chicken sandwich,' Fourte explained. He can be heard in the video saying: 'Break that s**t up' as the staff continue to pull out of one another.

He did not get his food but WITI reported that seven workers were fired as a result of the melee. Police did arrive at the restaurant later but they claimed no weapons were involved and no arrests were made as a result.

I hope that guy trying to break up the fight wasn't fired. He did his best

I’m sick of the “it’s society’s fault” excuse. Take responsibility for your actions. The white woman is an animal for calling the employee the N-word. The black guy is an animal for being violent. What the fuck ever happened to owning up to our own mistakes? Oh, yeah, I forgot. Once blaming the system became a valid excuse for acting like rabid dogs and uncivilized cavemen we started using it left and right. I don’t care how poor you are, I don’t care how bad the service is, I don’t care how upset you are over anything. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
