Finger-Pointin’ Rude!

When I worked for Popeye’s there was a promo once for boneless chicken. It was always spicy, and you got a breast, thigh, fries, and a biscuit for like $4.99 or something. The issue was because there is red spices in the marinade, it colored the chicken a red color even after it was cooked.

A man came in like half an hour after coming through the drive-through claiming his chicken was raw. He opened the box, which had half a piece in it and nothing else. I explain to him that the red color is from the spices, and the manager denies him a refund because he ate almost all his food and because he didn’t have a receipt. He leaves, and about ten minutes later his wife comes in cussing up a storm brandishing the same box from earlier because we didn’t refund her husband. The manager and I tell her what we told the guy earlier and then she proceeds to throw the box across the counter at another cashier who was turned around making an order.

Working there and at Walmart solidified my hate for people.
