i drive by a local KFC everyday and this past monday when they were giving out a free grilled piece of chicken for their promo, i gotta say it was pretty sad to see a shitload of people lining up the drive through just to get a free piece of chicken.

just got some popeye's chicken jesterday; like the spicy.

Well whats bullshit is at the end the news clip states how each Popeye's is individually owned and responsible for their own orders.

This was a nationalized promo they had to honor.

So the cheap ass owners simply run out of stock because of the loss liter and close up shop and go home.

Okay I get that it is "just Popeye's" but who is "to blame" in your opinion?

BadCo noticed that Popeye's-corporate threw the franchisees under the bus ("stores are individually owned and operated and responsible for ordering their own stock")

The frachisees either

1- Wanted no part of this promo
2- Had no clue what was coming

I wonder if Popeye's-corp even did a "test run" in a market to see how it would go and to give people and idea of how this would change their inventories and usages.

It isn't unusual for a "corp" to push something on the franchisees that they know is at best "borderline" business-wise (ex: Burger Kings staying open late, Whopper Jrs for 99 cents) so they play the game with the franchisees' money.

I love how the lady complains about how she's going to feed her kids. Lady...there's more to eat in the world than friend chicken!!!!! I bet all her kids are fat.

a lot of brit fans and phil fans poured into the chicken shack in vegas. the brits with their booming beer burps and the phils with their shoes that are always 3 sizes too big. they call it the ..reverse moonwalk shuffle.

In Southern Cali:

White dudes go to El Pollo Loco
Mexican dudes go to KFC
Black dudes go to Popeyes

El Pollo Loco is by far the best. I miss that place since leaving Vegas. One is opening in Portland soon though.. @)

I believe this video better depicts the gravity of the situation:
