Popeyes embroiled in customer altercation and raw‑chicken scandal

A video posted on X shows a regular customer confronting staff at a Popeyes outlet over a long wait for his order, demanding a refund and threatening to call corporate. Employees say the man frequently causes disputes and the incident quickly escalated into a heated argument.

In a separate incident, another X video captured a Popeyes employee squatting on trays of raw chicken and filming the act before moving the meat to the prep area. The footage sparked widespread criticism on social media, with users questioning the employee’s motives and raising concerns about food safety.

Both videos generated significant online backlash, highlighting issues of customer service and hygiene standards at the fast‑food chain.
