Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen - Bushnell (FL)

1 /5 User: Theres one manager in particular, Im pretty sure her name is Stephanie, who absolutely NASTY and RUDE to customers. She always has the worst attitude as though doing her job is the biggest inconvenience she has ever experienced. Dont even get me started on how she treats the other workers. I have physically seen her shove another worker out of the way when she was upset about a home situation involving her son, and then proceed to act like it never happened when the worker confronted her about it. All of the while she was constantly on her phone and ignoring the screen. I was at a gas station in Bushnell one time and saw a girl who use to work at Popeyes, who I used to LOVE, always had a great attitude even in stressful situations, always was nice and fast when working and I never saw take a break from doing her job to chit chat or be on her phone, and I asked her about how Popeyes is doing and why it is so nasty all of a sudden, and she told me she didnt know because she had quit, Im pretty sure her name is Lyla. This young girl had informed me of a situation that happened while Stephanie was the manager on the clock and Lyla had gotten injured months ago, as it was one of the reasons she had decided to stop working there. She said right after she had hot grease poured down the front of her shirt, she had metal pans fall on her head that made her bleed and when she asked to have an incident report written up, as she was a minor working there at the time, Stephanie got defensive and acted like they didnt have time to do it and pretty much made Lyla feel bad about wanting to get in incident report to the point where she was afraid to bring it up to Stephanies boss. As I said Lyla is a teenager. One of Bushnells BABIES were trying to make a living out of herself at what was supposed to be a first time job and an after school fun experience and she was met with such nasty and toxic behavior from her job. Lyla isnt even the only worker who has complained to me specifically about Stephanie. All I am saying is, this restaurant is terrible, has nasty service and even nastier food, and this manager Stephanie needs to be fired ASAP as me and a bunch of people I know have agreed to not go back until she is gone. I saw a post about how Popeyes was hiring and the group chat that me and a bunch of parents from the community are in have collectively agreed that this location needs completely new management if they want the restaurant to stay open. Nobody wants to go to this disgusting place where Stephanie refuses to give out the big bosses number to complain about their nasty store. However there is an older lady who works there that seems to actually know how to do her job, i believe her name is Kelly and she is great, one of the only workers that is fast and doesnt dilly dally and complain about her job. I specifically had to make a google account not regarding my information so that these nasty workers do not have a personal problem with me, that is how bad this Popeyes location has proven to be. By the way, the restaurant is always completely trashed and looks as though it hasnt been cleaned in two days. Shouldnt it be cleaned multiple times a day? I also have been known to stay at the motel next to the store from time to time and witnessed one of the nighttime workers selling stuff out the back door, whether it be chicken or drugs is not my business but thought it should be brought to attention. Seriously, this place shouldve been closed a loooong time ago.

2 /5 Eric Vowell: Wow, its really one of the worst experiences Ive had at a fast food restaurant. The restrooms were just a mess. The employees acted as if you were not even at the store. You could not order your meal from a human. You had to do it through an ordering outpost. The service was sooo slow. The food was just as bad as the service. It was just bad bad bad.

5 /5 Michelle L.: I wanted to make the time to let management know about the stellar service i always receive from one particular crew member, Stefanie. Shes always got her hustle & teamwork mode rockin full force. Every single time Ive been in there & she is working, the food is always hot, fresh, & served with sweet, genuine southern hospitality: “thank you, honey!” or “do you need anything else, baby? It is sweet, endearing, & always makes me feel appreciated & welcome. As a Bushnell resident for over 16yrs, Ive seen places come & go...and that place has had its ups & downs, but that girl needs a raise, because shes got it together in there, &its always with a warm, sweet attitude.

5 /5 Jeaneen: Ordered lunch for the office and Popeyes never disappoints, the chicken is always fresh and juicy and packed with flavor! Sides like mashed potatoes and red beans and rice are a perfect complement to the meal. Fast, friendly service, great value and consistently delicious comfort food. Highly recommend when you are craving bold, satisfying flavors!

3 /5 Richard Moore: Dined in tonight for Supper. We all had chicken tender combos. I asked for a knife and was told they were not allowed to have any. I asked if this was a state rule? The worker said no, it was a manager decision. Im glad a carry a pocket knife, so i could cut up the tenders so they could cool down. One of my mother in laws tenders did not have any chicken inside the breading. We got a replacement without a hassle. How does this even happen? The meals were just mediocre, but with the price being $13+ for each meal, this is just too expensive.
