Popeyes - Verbal abuse / nepotism / horrible gm

This place has the WORST management I have ever seen. These people are BULLIES! The General Manager Will INTENTIONALLY caused me to short my own drawer last Wednesday by over $17 by encouraging me to give out too much change after orders someone took ended up misplaced in the system. Needless to say, I ended up cahrging 3 customers in a row for the wrong order(this was no doubt pre-planned by the GM) and had to give them all a refund. My drawer is usually a few dollars OVER not minus such a large amount.

It was done in retaliation to "get back at me" for speaking up to his "friend" or relative Melvin who has been verbally harassing and mocking me NONSTOP since the month of May for my religious beliefs, practice of race mixing and miscegenation.

Melvin is given carte blanche by the GM to do whatever he wishes without ANY negative consequences. His offenses include threatening to "ram me over" for nearly walking into him, constantly making racist, insulting and inflammatory remarks and jokes against Asian and Caucasian customers while the drive thru window is open, threatening to have his sister beat up a female manager and leaving early last Thursday morning because she asked him to mop the floor.

Melvin is allowed to take as many breaks as he wants although an avrage employee is only allowed ONE 30 minute break per day. He even mocks a developmentally disabled employee on a daily basis. When confronted about the matter he attempted to justify himself saying "She has a boyfriend and is smart enough to use the internet so it's okay." Just Wednesday of this week he scolded her as soon as she walked in the door saying "Don't sit at this table today! This is MY table!" He said referring to a certain table he sits at during break. She looked as if she wanted to burst into tears.

He also slammed the door on a 68 year old employee knowing she was right behind him attempting to enter the building. He goes out of his way to create a hostile work environment for this woman, myself and anyone he deems as being inferior to himsel;f and his GM relative. He even once stated "Nobody is gonna mess with me because I'm Will's boy." Not an exact quote but his statement was somewhere in that neighborhood.

He and the GM often take part in sexist conversations about how many do so many things the wrong way. The GM never holds him accountable for his actions no matter how abusive, inappropriate, offensive, cruel, threatening or ill mannered he is toward other employees. The GM usually laughs it off or sometimes joins in with him. They have made it quite clear that they are thick as thieves and everyone else is just a pawn in their game.

Melvin is INSANE and quite disturbed in my honest opinion and cannot be trusted. No one is safe from his harassment regardless of any underlying factor(race, religion, gender, handicap, sexual orientation, age). He is an equal opportunity offender. He is also a ticking time bomb who is in desperate need of a psychological evaluation and anger management training.

Either shut this place down or put your GM and his flunky in check. I am so glad I don't here anymore. Only by the grace of God and the skin of my teeth did I make it through working at this location.

Popeyes - 29177

Lower management teat their employees like [censored]! Oh my God! These people are scum! Their general manager is an [censored] who needs lessons in humanity and civics. What the hell is wrong with those two fools Will and Deja? Are they high during their shifts or something? Please retrain your managers. They are low life dogs who do not know how to treat other employees and they abuse their authority.

Deja is always rude as hell and I know she bullies my cousin all the time. I have a cousin who works at this store and almost every time she visits me now, she ends up crying on my shoulder about how will and Deja are always harassing her and talking trash about her. They don't even know her that well. They've known her nine months. I've known her my entire life and nothing negative they have say about my cousin is true. So kindly stfu and keep your mouth off my family! You're both trash. Get a life, a clue and an education.

My cousin is well educated, a good human being in general and happens to be highly intelligent which is more than I could ever say for either one of you ghetto low lives. She has more class in her baby toe than you have brain in your hollow heads. I'm very proud of her accomplishments. She authored several books. Have either of you done that? No! And you never will because your future is in chicken grease. You're jut a couple of jealous [censored] who need to get a hobby other than smoking weed.

Just yesterday my cousin told me will accused her of not having common sense for passing out the wrong order. Who in their right mind would think it's okay to treat anyone that poorly? My next complaint will go to the Labor Board if it ever happens again! That's a promise!

Guess what? I have been in line when Will not only packed my order wrong but also took it wrong on the headset. I never called him an idiot or accused him of not having common sense so where does he get off putting my famiy down? Nobody is perfect. People make mistakes. Even him. Not sure why this jerk is so intolerant of common mistakes. Keep your PERSONAL problems at HOME.

Whoever owns Popeyes, you need to do something about your unruly leadership. This is workplace bullying at it's best according to the law. My cousin has every right to sue for this. Unacceptable! I will never eat here again until you start treating all your employees right and not just your favorites. I hate this hellhole. Who runs this ghetto restaurant anyway? Is this how you allow your employees to be treated? Get a clue. Popeye's management sucks! Ugh!

Any time hon! Glad to hear it got "better" for her. You are right. She definitely shouldn't TRUST the situation. No leopard changes spots overnight. But God certainly looks out for his own. She will be just fine.

Sorry you're cousin going through this hon! I totally believe it. I know a girl who used to work there a few years ago. They've always been horrible like this from what I understand. Things will get better. Tell your cousin to pray about it if she is a person who prays at all. People reap what they say. Tese horrible managers are definitely going to catch hell in the end if they keep it up! God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, THAT SAME THING will he also reap right back! God bless! Take care!

Re-posted it for ya cause I saw they took it down so I copied and pasted. It's not fair that someone would try to get away with bullying their staff. I put your complaint back under MY account. The public needs to know things like this in case they are considering applying here. Popeyes IMPROVE your management instead of paying to take down complaints. Treat employees right or get out of the game! Just saying.
