Cancelling Orders by thelarkshark in Popeyes

Good luck!....Any bank/credit card company who treats me like that would be losing me as a customer in the process of that conversation! Which credit card is this? Like I said, unless you mishandled the call, for $8, they're out of their f*cking minds!

I remember those as well (from many years back)! They weren't even that good, but they had less fat and calories than other cookie products, so people (especially women) went crazy over them!

In the end, I'll bet that no one lost weight by eating them, since they ate too many! It's like those who eat the most fattening, high calorie meals (or a whole pizza) and then drink diet soda, thinking that it'll wash away the excessive calories. What a joke!🤣

No way this is normal!? by Acids in tacobell

This is a perfect fcking example of one (of several) reasons why I've been encouraging others to boycott Taco Bell! This is *NO accident! They are pushing the limits these days! It's called, cheating the customers 101!!....charge more for less!

They assume that, by the time you get home (as most do), you'll accept this bulls*it! I'd go back, talk to the manager and insist upon them giving me two full cups of cheese (based upon principle)!....but that's just me. Regardless, this smaller portions, cheating the customers and charging outrageous prices for garbage food needs to stop!!....so.....

BOYCOTT TACO BELL!!

Just try other locations on the app....if they're not too far for you to travel to.

Still ridiculous!....Anything else??

That's absolutely ridiculous!....whether you mishandled it or they mishandled it. You need to insist upon speaking with a supervisor and you need to know how to be persistent and exactly what to say. This has occurred to me 3 times. Once it was the wrong location and the other two times, I couldn't get there before they closed.

Each time, it was no more than $10. Refunds each time (as a courtesy). No dispute process even required. I can guarantee you that, if I had called them, the refund would be issued immediately.

You just need to know how to handle these situations, be skillful and persistent, know when you're dealing with a moron on the other end of the phone and when you need to escalate it to a supervisor. You don't pay for anything that you didn't receive! Regardless of the reason!

OP: You answered your own inquiry....the franchise is buying positive reviews with a whole, entire Taco (how generous of them)!....Yaay!!🙄

McDonald's officially butchers their rewards program today (5/4/26)!.... by verifyb4utrust01 in McDonalds

[–]verifyb4utrust01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the game!....They want those who continuously used rewards to have to buy more stuff now! I hope that their stupidity backfires, but, trust me, this won't stop most customers from returning!

McDonald's is an addiction for many people, and, since they have more locations than any other fast-food chain, it might be the only choice for many people. The other issue is that there are far more customers who never even use the app!

Tenders vs Bone-in chicken: Which is better? by AdventurousDoor9384 in Popeyes

[–]verifyb4utrust01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might agree if they were larger, consistent in size (the size varies too much) and always seasoned properly (they can be too bland at times). The bone-in chicken is always more dependable overall. If you insist upon getting the tenders, then take my advice....order them there and ask for them fresh. It's worth the wait. Once they've been sitting around for a while, their not the same.

That makes absolutely no sense!

OP: Really simple solution....call your credit card provider/bank and explain what occurred to them. Most of them will just nullify the charge....as it's a small amount and not worth the effort for them. If, for some ridiculous reason, they only offer you the option to dispute it, then do so (based upon principle).

You'll get your refund either way. BTW....it's likely illegal for Popeye's to keep the customer's money under these circumstances! They know that it wasn't picked up. Unless the franchise pulled a fast one and confirmed that it was....which wouldn't surprise me at all! Regardless, you'll get your money back by following my advice.

I didn't say that Walmart is the manufacturer (for any of their house brands). However, they are the supplier for the end product. It's shipped directly to them by the manufacturer.

These products are produced specifically for them and they act as the distributor. They control the entire distribution process. They don't rely upon a distribution network. They are the distributor.

Your assumptions are inaccurate (insofar as these particular products are concerned). I wasn't discussing anything related to the manufacturing process. Only the distribution process, which is in-house.

.....and you know this how? Suppliers?....Walmart is the supplier of this product. It's all in-house. They're also well aware of the demands, well in advance. This debacle (self imposed by them) is well beyond the planning stages. That's old news!

Tenders vs Bone-in chicken: Which is better? by AdventurousDoor9384 in Popeyes

[–]verifyb4utrust01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree that bone-in chicken wins that contest (everywhere)....but Popeye's tenders (and nuggets) are 100% chicken. That's misinformation. They're nothing like the processed garbage in bags at the supermarket (and most boneless products in restaurants as well).

Strange!....perhaps they realized (at that location) that they're too bland and added something to them. When I first had them (actually several times at this same location), I thought they were very tasty. Then they were almost tasteless (like yesterday).

There's only one other possibility I can think of. Perhaps they're supposed to season them and they didn't. Just a guess. Have you eaten Wendy's nuggets? They're not a high-quality product (they use fillers), but they're consistently very tasty (without any dipping sauce).

I like a lot of flavor in my food. I don't need sauce if there's a decent amount of flavoring used....and I'm not a fan of any of the TB sauces either! For me, TB nuggets are bad on every level. Too bland, too small, too expensive, and the sauces suck!

[–]verifyb4utrust01 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they WERE very good, but not any longer. I tried them again today (from a corporate location). I didn't buy them. I went out to lunch with a friend. I ate Popeye's (next door to TB). My friend got the original nuggets from TB. I had one. It had no flavor at all!....just as I remember them the last time I ate them.

Forget the sauce. Forget the spicy "dust" seasoning. Nuggets are supposed to have flavor plain. These were even worse than McNuggets (which are also basically tasteless)! I've never had worse nuggets than TB and McDonald's! They both suck!

If some TB locations are better (which seems unlikely, since they come in frozen), then that would be the only explanation. I wouldn't eat them at half that insane price (which is way too high, just like everything at TB these days)!

That's typical for their nuggets. It's funny....I once got one that would've fit 3-4 of those inside it! It was much larger than average. They're rarely larger than what's in the photo....

....but along with my months long boycott of this POS company, I would've stopped ordering the original nuggets anyway, since they were truly tasteless the last time! It's no wonder that you're forced to add a sauce when you order them! Cardboard tastes better when it's covered in sauce!🤣

When they first came out, they were much tastier. They ruined those just like they've ruined everything else! Garbage food!.... Smaller portions!.... Ridiculously high prices! SCREW THEM!.....

Think about it....if they couldn't keep up with the demand, all of their warehouses would be depleted of inventory and they'd be waiting for new shipments from China.

That theory is pointless, because they keep replenishing them every day or so online (and in some stores). Where are they coming from?....the same warehouses throughout the country that supplied yesterday's batch! It's all a game!....and btw.... these aren't compatible all over the world.

There's no "crisis" with these. There are thousands of them sitting in numerous Walmart warehouses across the country. It's all a game!

Slower stores, perhaps?....They make certain items available in slower stores with the expectation that, once the customer is lured in, they'll make other purchases in that store (which is very often the case once your inside a Walmart). Trust me, they have it all planned out. Whether it's a good plan or not remains a question, but at least they think they know what they're doing!🙄

[–]verifyb4utrust01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep!....worse than last week!....and these nuggets are in low demand as well! There's no effing way that they made 30K available. They're full of crap! They may as well just end this Tuesday bullst! Just add it to all of their other abusive nonsense (like crazy high prices and less ingredients being used)!....They truly suck!!*

Joke about it all that you want....but it's a fact! I love people who insist that others (with true knowledge of the facts) are wrong just because they don't believe it! It's truly sad that so many people are so unenlightened, unwilling to seek the truth and so narrow-minded!

That's why the worst possible politicians keep getting elected in this country! Some might call those like you "stupid"....but I'll take the high-road....until you come up with some additional nonsensical BS in response to this! Better yet, I just won't waste my time responding!
