Popeyes Fried Chicken
Franchise Buyout Brought Long Hours, Low Raises and Tight Timers

I worked for Popeyes for many years. We really did care about customer service and product satisfaction. However, a large company bought our franchise, and they do not care about anything except the bottom line. They work their minimum wage employees to death, and if and when they get a raise it is usually 5 or 10 cents.

They have a 40 second time limit at the drive thru and 1 minute in the lobby. Managers work 50, 60 and more hours a week. Once, when I was in the emergency room with pneumonia, the supervisor beeped me and told me to get back to the store because someone did not show up for their shift. I told her where I was and why, and she did not care. She just said to get there.

I finally quit because it had ruined my health. Until Sailormen bought Popeyes it was a great place to work and eat, but Mr. Wimple needs all the dollars he can get for his jet and lavish home, so his employees do not matter to him. They also cheat people out of hours worked, and other things.
