  • After many recommendations after the Wendy's and Five Guys' review to try another American fast food place, I've decided to head down to Popeyes in Richmond which is famous for it's Louisiana style chicken. Lets see what it tastes like!

    I love these reviews. Gary is very polite and seems to be a good, ordinary person which makes the reviews something to connect with.
    My grandchildren dragged us to Popeyes in Reading. Ordering on the screens was not easy and they had fingerprints on them, yuk!
    As for the food, it was OK but not worth the money. We ordered fries, but they had seasoning on them! Another yuk! But the kids loved it. I wouldn't bother again, can cook much better and cheaper at home, but I appreciate that's not the point for their customers.

    Surprised but pleased by how many people are anti self service. I work in retail currently, been there about 6 months. I'd say about 65-70% of our customers go for self service (give or take certain days, Saturdays are always so busy you don't keep track). But the ones that don't feel strongly about it and I always appreciate that conversation. I'm often left standing alone behind a counter watching people go to self service on quieter days. We aren't paid much but it's a challenging job. So it's rewarding to see people still prefer the interaction with humans. I'd always argue a computer is less likely to find or even offer solutions to specific problems. You're more likely to find a resolution with people intending to help people. Machines don't have that as a function.
    Ps, long ramble aside. Enjoy the channel, keep finding your videos somehow and I appreciate your fair/reasoned approach to food. It's refreshing when a lot of channels call everything great, or there's financial incentive to review positively. You can be fair, point out the flaws and rate on quality and still be respectful. I enjoy that about your reviews. 😊😊👌✌️

      @@deadzio @deadzio I get where you're coming from, but to be honest, these days I'd wait. I work in a clothing store too so, if there's an issue with your purchase, more likely a cashier is going to catch it/more likely you'll get it discounted by a manager. + our self service is card only + when there's 20+ people in the queue, there's 20+ people in self service. + no returns or exchanges at self service. Self service almost always goes wrong for me also, so the time you're waiting for someone to come and fix it, or approve an item, you've lost the time you were trying to save.
      Even using this video as an example, it'd have been quicker for Gary to know what he wanted to order and tell that to a person. I dunno, I just think there are more benifits to the interaction with a cashier than there are to a self service machine. I get them, I'm sure people like using them, too, I'm just a 32 year old dinosaur. 😅🤣🤷‍♂️✌️

Particularly when eating food with our fingers. A sachet of sanitiser with each order should be mandatory. Cheers.

But i was disappointed with dinning experience. For me with fried chicken it is all about the coating. But for me it was like eating crushed cornflakes plus also the gravy and mash was crap imo.
