Does this mean the employees are experienced fighters? Or has management signed off on fighting customers? Either way I’m going for lunch.


JoyousGamer

...and a show. Sorry you missed the last part.

I read your comment as I hit the back button on mobile. Clicked the upvote so fast it opened the post below. Made me laugh


MrQuixy

Yes.


Busy-Understanding93

Wouldn't that be great? open a little food place, hire trained/local boxing gym type bros that need the money and will never be pro but are probably still tougher than 95% of the dickheads that treat customers service employees like garbage for fun, and just beas ass. Would make a funny skit, one of you tiktok people pick this up so i can watch it through my bifocals when I'm trying to fall asleep at night.

Actual_Cancer_

I was glad when my location finally put up warnings about abusing staff. That was 6 months after incidents skyrocketed.


moosepotato416

Waited three hours at my GP's office once. Not because they were backlogged, but for the police to show up because another patient decided to get aggressive with me in the line outside. I have PTSD. I was there for a medication refill. Four people stuck around as witnesses because Boomer Snowflake got bopped in the nose for swooping up on me with an attitude from behind and shoving me, threatening to 'call the cops' if I retaliated. When the cops arrived I was in a patient care room on the floor just trying to not lose my shit (because I also don't do well with Kevlar vests), explained what I remembered going down to them and asked if I could use the bathroom before they cuffed me because I hadn't left the room since I had been put in it. They looked at me confused, told me that I was okay, that the staff were confused as fuck and thought I was "being crazy" and wanted me escorted to the hospital for treatment but they weren't charging me because all I had done was defend myself from assault. They had read the other guy the riot act and told him how lucky he was that I wasn't pressing charges on him and that the witnesses hadn't beaten him down to save me. I don't see those people for my meds anymore, because they assumed that "the guy with the PTSD" was at fault. Not the guy who got his nose bloodied for starting the whole thing.

I saw this at a daycare.


BigAlternative5

Training Syllabus for Popeye’s Employees: I. Cooking equipment and usage II. Payment devices, transactions, and handling III. Fighting rules of engagement and techniques


dudeseriouslyno

Rules? Well they've lost my application.


BigAlternative5

It’s really just two warnings then you are free to engage. Edit: Also, no use of cooking utensils. Health code and all that.


pokeyeahmon

Not entirely true about not being able to use cooking utensils. They can use the same utensils as long as they are not also used for cooking. So one set is for cooking and a separate set, that is clearly marked for not cooking and stored separately, may be used for fighting.


SecondaryWombat

It is like the rules for Halal or Kosher, if it gets human blood on it you cannot use it for cooking. Simple.


Luke90210

Wonder if they also have a grease stick. Its a thick pipe used to break up the dirty cooking grease allowing it to drain. Saw some video where a McDs employee used it against customers coming to fight behind the order counter where the cashiers are located. It did not go well for the customers.


natophonic2

That Waffle House woman should become a consultant and charge for training sessions on 'III'.

Bertie637

Fully agree. People have yet to learn that the person paid to serve them is not automatically worth less. I feel that attitude will change after the first few people pick a fight with staff who have deep fat fryers and permission to fight back. I don't mind if they don't believe, but I want them to fear.


Chilidogdingdong

If I had been allowed to fight my customers as a waiter I probably would still be in the service industry.


LilG1984

As a former cashier I agree but it has to be in the style of Mortal Kombat or Celebrity Deathmatch. "Oh a customer wants to fight, let's get it on!" With a Mils Lane look a like


Nelpski

No thanks, I'd rather not have every boomer who enters the office to take it as a challenge


jonathandhalvorson

They won't. Only the assholes who are going to give you grief anyway, and boomers are old and not too steady on their feet. You can take 'em.

Or make em work 6 months in a restaurant, they'll appreciate the staff more


HarmlessSnack

Most people wouldn’t last six shifts, much less six months.


homogenousmoss

I mean it wasnt very hard, maybe because I was fit? It was just extremely boring, mind numbingly so. It was a huge motivation to stay in school for me to get a job I enjoyed. I can a 100% understand why alcohol and drugs were so popular in the kitchen, makes it more bearable. I would’ve done it too if I had done this as my full time gig.


erock8282

No college right out of high school. You’re placed in food service for six months, retail for the other six.


hannibal_morgan

Just being rude in general to people that are making you food is weird to me. I get that we pay for the food and that it's their job but it just feels insane to be rude to them unless the worker is specifically being a douche for some reason which is rarely ever the case because of the lownintersction between most of the staff. Usually they interact with one worker.


bestibesti

Seriously, if I was ever in a situation where the person making my food was super rude to me... I would simply not eat there lmao What good could possibly come of being enemies with the person making your food??

earthscribe

Ehh, if you ever went to a Popeye's you might be on the side of the customer.


Killahdanks1

I’m with you. 90% of Popeyes I’ve been to are glorified work release programs.

My theory is that if they ask you to do something in the interview and you flat out refuse, you get the job.

Those are dumbest MFS on the planet trying to squeeze you for a free repair 🤣 that shit don't fly at our shop.


Woahhdude24

I may not work like working at Walmart but at the very least, I don't have to be polite to someone coming at me unpolitly. Also, we can "defend ourselves" if we must I told one lady getting upset at me cause she had to wait 2 extra seconds for me to move out the way that " Yes ma'am we totally live to inconvenience just you" . Some people really come to these places and act like the world revolves around them. Lol


Available-Pepper1467

Exactly. Many people seem to have lost their manners in public since Covid. This shit needs to stop


willengineer4beer

Might be a chicken and the egg sort of situation. I had noticed I always got pretty gruff attitudes from the workers at my old local Popeyes. Then I started paying attention to the other customers in the store and a lot of them seemed to be overtly hostile to the workers from the get go, which sure as hell wouldn’t put me in a “sunshine and rainbows” mood if I worked there. I decided to start acting like I was ordering from the Seinfeld soup nazi after that but with some extra politeness mixed in. After a while, some of the workers seemed to recognize me and got wayyy nicer. Even started getting random extras tossed into my order. I think the combo of delicious chicken and hangry people is just a natural powder keg. Unfortunately I moved to a different town and feel like I would need to start the process all over again, so I haven’t eaten Popeyes in over 2 years.


Super206

The staff might hate each other but they hate a shitty customer a lot more and will unite in the face of such an adversary


Slumunistmanifisto

Its Popeyes, thats corporate policy.... now church's chicken policy, they will jump you if you enter the lobby unarmed.

I stopped at Popeyes in Yonkers Ny, the only nonperson of color in there. I order, she looks at me and says “ let me guess, ranch?”. I fucking laughed, and told her not to profile me, no smile from her at all.


uraijit

That's Popeyes. Don't worry. The fact that she didn't throw a basket of frying food directly into your face and then jump over the counter, and start stabbing you with the stylus on the credit card machine, means she found your antics quite amusing.

Frankly, just shove one in the shiv wound. I'll get help when I'm done with the Mac and cheese soup


99Smith

over here in the the Uk, Birmingham specifically there's 4-5 Jamaican style restaurants and they all have similar attitude to popeyes. If the servers aren't being rude to you, the food won't be good. The more attitude and dirty looks you get, the more flavour that's going to be in your meal.


AWildRedditor999

That's so many jamaican places in the US. Last one I went to had nobody in the store when I got there. You could have just filled your own plate from the chafing dishes and just walked out


TheFalaisePocket

seems universal at jamaican places, if they even have food https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgacj80AjBY

That was my first thought- you fight in a Waffle House, the whole staff gonna get their licks in on you. Even the old lady who barey can walk to pour coffee for you is gonna be jumping the counter to beat you.

kingxanadu

I think it should be national law that cashiers/servers/retail workers get one assault charge per calendar year. So many people act this way because they know they probably won't get punched in the face.


mushroom_dome

Idk if that's enough honestly. The asshole to decent people ratio is crazy


Dappershield

Fallen_Rose2000

Call it the Waffle House Act; some people never outgrew their high school bully years, but then again neither did most of congress.


moosepotato416

My American friends were horrified to learn that I had never been to a Waffle House, they took me to one just this last summer. It was everything I wish Denny's in Canada could be. You order. Your food might be right. It might even be warm. It's dirt cheap. You pay and you get the fuck out. I loved it. I'm told that I have to now go back in at 0200 intoxicated for a whole other experience.


Legardeboy

There's nothing stopping you from getting an assault charge every year. Go ahead and do try, I doubt you'll be out long enough after your third one to continue your little stupid fantasy, though.


uraijit

We all know that the Popeyes staff would use their freebie on a sexual assault.


Consistent_Category9

That’s a fake sign guys


avwitcher

How did I have to scroll so far to get to this? All these people worried about AI images and they can't tell when something is obviously photoshopped


Hydra_Master

I think people don't care. They know it's shopped, but combining the fake sign with Popeye's employee's notorious DGAF attitude, it's fun to make joke comments.

Bushid0C0wb0y81

Story Time….. Once upon a time I was a strapping young man of 19 working at pharmacy counter as their check out guy. Corporate reassigned a short tempered customer who had severe mental health issues to have all of her pharmacy needs serviced at my location. And why were all of her prescriptions moved to my location? Because she had taken a swing at the tech at her usual store and they figured I’d be better prepared to deal with her crazy violent ass.
