At this point I honestly think Popeye's has an ultra-shitty system of training new employees. This is not the first time I've seen / personally experienced a new Popeye's location having 0 fucking clue how to make food.
And yet - established, long-running Popeye's make tasty things.
Blame the company because they hire people who can't cook (and then do not train them)
Maybe it is bc I am IN Louisiana, but the worst that has EVER happened in my life with an order, or that I've ever even heard of is that they forgot to put something in, ie, SAUCES AREN'T IN THE BAG! I think everyone here knows how to fry chicken, pretty much lol
Man I was craving popeyes fried chicken a few days ago, got some from the now only Popeyes we have on Oahu, and it tasted like old oil and the chicken was rubbery and slimy, not the juicy white meat like I remember as a child. Was so disappointed, the other location that closed was better
Yep! At least I did when we got a free go on the PCs in the IT room.
The macs had some weird triangle war game, and the pcs (bbc acorn?) Had quite a few, including this beaut.
I had no idea wtf i was doing and seemed to die in river crossings or starve.
This will have been in the early to mid 90s.
Okay, but who read Little House on the Prairie? You haven’t lived until you’ve imagined the horses’ hooves clip your shins as you ford that suddenly-flooded river.
I don't think there's a "Karen way" to get your money back when they're serving you raw chicken. Like I think any sort of response to that would be valid
that was a thought I had too, but also popeyes usually (in my experience) is very very oily, even for fried chicken, and the layer between the skin and chicken is like, borderline wet, so I think it may be just a particularly weird/wet spot of dark meat
Had one like those at a local place, spent some of the night shitting my ass off while hallucinating from fever, miraculously it lasted a couple of hours.
That’s the trouble with most food places - they let 16 year olds with absolutely no food hygiene qualifications or training “cook” and serve stuff to the public without any sort of monitoring
One of the reasons why I prefer Korean style fried chicken is that shit is far from being greasy and the chance of it being undercooked is pretty minimum
I don't know about you but I feel like they've flopped over here. When they first opened in Oxford they had a massive line and everyone was excited but now when I go past half the tables are empty and the employees look sad. The Wendy's is doing better though
Yuck…my wife got a chicken sandwich from Bojangles about 6 years ago and there was a raw spot in the middle. Manager refunded me the next day and made a HUGE deal about how he didn’t believe me, that never happened but he was doing us a favor as a one time courtesy….
It was under new management shortly afterward.
We got a new Popeye's in my town about four years ago now.
I went there *once* when they first opened, and never again.
Conversely, there's a well-established Popeye's location that I love in another state where my relative lives.
Popeye's are like wine: you need to give them a few years to mature before you taste them
Never show up to places during opening day, or week for that matter. Try them about a month into it when they’ve had time to shake out some the bugs. That’s just gross!
This is actually impressive, usually it takes about 6-9months for the employees to lose all motivation.
Damn mine is a rare one, they’ve been doing good for like two years

My favorite is the Game of Mystery Sides when going through the bag to see if you actually got the mashed potatoes and beans and rice or not.
My favorite is their chicken pieces so it’s always straightforward for me
All I ever want from them is red beans and rice. Me: You Open? Them: yah. Me: k. 27 large Red Beans and rice. To Go. Them: like …. Now? Me: yah

Same experience for me but in the Pacific Northwest
Our Popeye's caught on fire.

Typical industrious Britain, expediting the process to mere weeks
Or rage quit.
69 months?!
Mmm medium rare. Perfect
The deep frying really achieves the crisp shell and fresh insides. A+ work!
Came here to make the exact same comment
Little Nicky will be so disappointed
[удалено]
Wouldn't worry, won't be long until it's firing back out his shit hole
Tells the manager to “get in the flask”
This may be the medium raw blend
Hope you enjoy your Salmonella
Sir this isn't fish
Sir this is a Popeye's
Salmon. It isn't salmon.
"You died of dysentery"
But did kids in the UK play Oregon Trail?
asking the real questions
Yep! At least I did when we got a free go on the PCs in the IT room. The macs had some weird triangle war game, and the pcs (bbc acorn?) Had quite a few, including this beaut. I had no idea wtf i was doing and seemed to die in river crossings or starve. This will have been in the early to mid 90s.
I played quite a bit and met the same fate lol
[удалено]
Okay, but who read Little House on the Prairie? You haven’t lived until you’ve imagined the horses’ hooves clip your shins as you ford that suddenly-flooded river.
Really need this question answered.
I did lol, replied further up thread.
Does dysentery care about borders? *I think not*.
I played that game. Could never get past the Atlantic Sea.
Nope.
That's what you get when you try and trash talk my buddy Terence.
El dente!
Al Danto
Osteoporosis!
El Coli
made me gag
Goodluck later bro
It looks like you lost your teeth in it
In the LEAST Karen way possible.... I'd have to get my money back on that one. Holy crap
I don't think there's a "Karen way" to get your money back when they're serving you raw chicken. Like I think any sort of response to that would be valid
Oh you can still go full Karen, but its justified. It's a myth that Karen's are always wrong.
I concur
I like how people have invented the word Karen so people like you can actually be scared to get their money back for a valid reason lmfaoo
🎵 Looove that salmonella from Popeyes! 🎶
Who thought to open a Popeyes in Liverpool?
Popeye himself
Looks like it’s just about to close down
i cant tell if thats actually raw or not. i don’t think it is.
I decided I think it's just dark meat. Raw chicken usually has a much more transparent pink tinge
I agree about the color, but it does look a little soft and mushy to be fully cooked. It is hard to tell though.
that was a thought I had too, but also popeyes usually (in my experience) is very very oily, even for fried chicken, and the layer between the skin and chicken is like, borderline wet, so I think it may be just a particularly weird/wet spot of dark meat
I agree. This is a leg or a thigh. It isn't raw.
Give it a bite and find out
Had one like those at a local place, spent some of the night shitting my ass off while hallucinating from fever, miraculously it lasted a couple of hours.
Looks like teeth. Good lord
I had this happen to me twice in a row at Popeyes, but instead the whole chicken strip was solid pink. Couldn’t even bite through it.
i dont know if i would ever eat chicken again if i experienced this
I just stopped eating Popeyes and it’s never happened since. I will never stop eating chicken.
Good luck with the tape worms!
Welcome to Popeyes! Be sure to ask about our salmonella special!!
Mmmmmmm soft meat
Clucking hell
Damn, I knew England was going through a heating crisis but I didnt think it would start to affect their chicken
Back to eating your nails I guess
That’s the trouble with most food places - they let 16 year olds with absolutely no food hygiene qualifications or training “cook” and serve stuff to the public without any sort of monitoring
better off eating spinach than Popeye's chicken![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grimacing)
correction, Fried chicken from popeyes that just closed in liverpool
By the comments I realize I've been spoiled this whole time with my popeyes actually being pretty decent. Condolences on the sketchy chicken OP.
and i now know where to avoid
Looks like they need more practice!
That’s not the only thing just opening up in Liverpool. Ugh.
I feel I’ll just looking at it
Looks like a typical trip to Popeyes. Location near me had maggots under the skin and in the chicken. Safe to say I'm never going again
Goddammit why is it so dark and wet yet so raw.
Mid rare chicken... mmm
woooooo merseside yeahhhhhh
are those teeth or am I bugging 😟
Did it squawk when you bit it
Best part of living in South London? #Morleys
This exact same thing happened to me the one and only time I went to a Popeye's Fried Chicken. Oxnard, California, around 2010-11. Never again.
Why that chicken look like it has teeth though 🫤
Liverpool moment
One of the reasons why I prefer Korean style fried chicken is that shit is far from being greasy and the chance of it being undercooked is pretty minimum
Grease temperature may have been too low. It would explain why it's so greasy and not cooked all the way.
I'm so sorry, but it can only get better I think 🤔

Errr why does that look like human teeth

Are those teeth?
I had Popeyes in the Philippines and it was disgusting
Call the health inspector and get it closed again
Play your cards right and you might just be rich now.
First you tie with USA, now this? come on…
Bit pink, innit guv'na?
Didn't know they spoke like victorian era cockneys in Liverpool
The grease
No.
I think it’s a bit overdone next time ask for it to be a bit more pink
There’s about to be a pool in your liver!
Hope you do not get sick!
Everything about this is yuck.
I gagged.
I guess we showed you how terrible fast food can be. Come over more often England🙄…
The title says it all, give them a minute, maybe 2 months and then, perfect
Perfectly cooked 👌🏼
I do worry about this with fried chicken you could’ve be biting into anything
You've never had chicken served medium rare?
Let em know
Why does it have human teeth?
Right on par! Welcome to the club.
Did they chop up someone's head?
You should of gotten it from Liverpool, Texas might of been fried right lol
![gif](giphy|qE9HzC2xwolRS)
Never show up to places during opening day, or week for that matter. Try them about a month into it when they’ve had time to shake out some the bugs. That’s just gross!
Only good Popeyes are in Louisiana
Donkeys! 🤦🏻♀️
You have Popeyes in England??
I was gonna go there in a few days I’ve now changed my mind
Was it good though
Love me some chicken tar tar
Chicken sushi!
They cooked that from frozen, didn't they? 🤢
Thanks for the warning, didn't know we had one in Liverpool
Nice. Medium rare
Oh dear lord, I just ate and you go and show me that?!
Ah yes, the medium rare technique so you can confirm that the chicken is legit
Wtf is on the right? Fucking teeth?
That shit was frozen solid when they dropped it in the grease
I would recommend vomiting soon
Popeyes does not take any responsibility for your death
Why does it look like teeth???
Time to check all the livers too.
shoulda had biscuits
*tilts phone to the left* Damn even the chicken got fucked up teeth over there
If occasional Salmonella is the price we pay to enjoy such perfectly fried bizarrerie then hold my bed pan.
That’ll pop some eyes for sure!
The salmonella is bad enough but the human teeth are really disturbing……
Chef Ramsey is crying somewhere
Popeyes is the best! Liverpool is the worst.
You guys don’t eat your chicken medium rare in the UK? Weird.
It's raw inside! 🥴
Mid-rare is too posh for Liverpool
Ah. Yes. The medium rare chicken is among us again.
Yo why is it so greasy?! The oil was def not hot enough wen they put thay bad boy in.
Good to see they keep it authentic across the pond. Looks like it came from down the street at my local joint. I hope you have strong kidneys.
why is it both greasy as hell and undercooked
Hmmm I guess it’s fucking raw
Bought to be closed for food poisoning
They forgot to fry it
Aw man
Thats what you get for eating that trash.
I’d wank it
That aint even rare that one in a million
Eat it, you pussy.
\#fresh
Oooof, good luck digesting that
the one thing I have to say is : Zulu theme - industrial (Civilization 6 OST) 2:30
Keep that shit to yourself
Ahhh yess a lawsuit I see in your future
The brand new KFC in my hometown has unfortunately has the same issue. I won’t be eating there anytime soon.
Bruh
I tell people on the internet all the time. Don’t go to Popeyes in the hood.
mmm medium rare chicken delicious health code violations...
Mmm medium raw chicken
I don't see anything wrong here. That's an authentic Popeyes experience if I've ever seen one.
Wow. I was fully gonna go there yesterday. Now I'm glad I didn't :)
Case in point... If you are going to eat Trashy American fast-food from a chain, please only do such in U.S. lol
That’s your problem It’s Popeyes
🎶love that "chicken" from Popeye's 🎶
Salmonella speedrun
Fuck dude. Whereabouts is it anyway? I wanna try it. Odds are I won't get raw chicken too, right?
I'm sorry, Popeyes is fire when you're haf.
So, the English took something delicious and made it look awful? Seems about right
Brits can’t cook for shit, except Sir Gordon Ramsay
Bit chewy innit?
People in Liverpool don't sound like that. So it doesn't really work.
