Too stupid to sense the dangerous and significant power dynamic in the situation. Lost instincts I suppose.
Do you have a link to the video showing she first called them n-word?

Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. And maybe they called her an "ugly ass cracker". She did leave before being followed and physically assaulted. None of that is relevant to the violent, uncivilized behavior which is the issue.

I get the mild bone-in at Popeye's, not the spicy. The spicy at Bo's is good but I prefer mild, which they don't have... Honestly, I think Publix fried chicken is better than Bo's. But Popeye's beats them all in flavor!

of course. but that won't stop the apologists for this violent thug behavior.

vague and specious claims of 'racism' on the part of the victim are always seen by some as more than sufficient justification for whatever violence the thug wishes to inflict.

Piggly Wiggly always had the best grocery store fried chicken (and hot bar) but they have closed all but one store in my area. My take on Publix is that it is good hot or if you put in a big order that they box/wrap/put in the steamer for pickup. Random pieces from the case have never worked for me.


I thought Bojangles had mild but I never order it so maybe its been dropped.


I'll have to give Popeyes another try when everything settles down. In all honesty, I do not eat as much fried food as I once did and two local restaurants I frequent have good chicken.


Pro tip: Chic fil A actually has the best sausage biscuit of all the quick serve places. Most people never realize that because they won't venture past chicken- but the sausage is moist and surprisingly well seasoned.

See now with all the hub bub I must go try this magical sandwich. Popeyes closest to me seems chill so I should be ok. Will follow safety protocol - only order food, no slurs. No MAGA gear. Show deference to employees. Hope for a clean sandwich not made on a trash bin. Say thank you and gracefully accept double charge.

Hope this danged sandwich is worth it.

Chick-Fil-A is the one I prefer. Service is much better. And the food is good.

Any place that attracts a large underclass element tends to attract things like violence. Alot of fast food places seem to attract that.

According to this article, the surly element found at places like McDonalds and Popeyes isn't limited to America. It has been going on in Scotland too.

It's not about chicken. It's about the kind of element many fast food places attract. The underclass element tends to be larger around places like McDonald's. Plenty of fights take place at McDonald's. Plenty of surly behavior at Wal-Mart.

It's still got to be in bad areas.

I've never seen anything like that. When I have been on the road at all hours stopping for fast food I never saw that. I have noted a drastic drop in service and food quality however through the years. It was a rite of passage for kids in my high school to work fast food and it is night and day from then to now. We had the cute little uniforms and had to smile all the time. We had to keep the place spotless. If we ever talked back to a customer we'd be gone right then.
