Of all the black stereotypes I always wondered why these were considered negative as I like fired chicken and watermelon as well. Who the fuck doesn't actually(except those allergic)?

All stereotypes are inherently negative in the sense that it's rude or disrespectful to use them, even though what they imply is actually positive. For example, saying "Asians are good at math" should actually be a compliment, but it has fallen into the realm of the "stereotype".

People never understand what out of X means.

Reminds me of when I worked at a gas station.

"We're out of gas."
"Ok, which pumps still have gas?"
"We're out of gas."

Next guy:
"Since I was filling up before you made this announcement, I should be able to finish fueling."
"We're out of gas." (While thinking, "No this isn't a magical contract with elves....")

Next guy:
"We're out of gas."
Guy gives me the finger, proceeds to run his cards etc, pumps $.01 worth of gas, pump shuts off.
"You're out of gas?"

I took perverse pleasure in chasing customers away on those days.

Oh shit, the Minneapolis Popeye's franchise didn't participate in the special. The police even had to be called in.

"That's ok, we'll go to KFC" :lol

At least this story had more than just angry black people in it.

But why the hell would you drive 15-20 miles for a chicken special at Popeyes? They could have saved time and money and gone to a grocery store!

You know what really upsets me about this....I was not aware of the special. I love Popeye's chicken.

By the time you got there... they would have had no chicken. Either that or they would have been out of chicken.

This thread made me want to get some Popeyes but the the closest one is like 1 drive hour away. :(

You can bet your ass that by the time I reached page two, I drove to KFC and picked up some chicken. Delicious.

I saw where KFC is giving away 1 piece of their new baked chicken to every customer in a couple of weeks.

I forsee this same scenario happening except this time, the subgroup will be angry white suburban soccer moms.
 
So wait, people who drove 20-30 miles and spent more on gas than they'd have saved on this deal are outraged that a franchise location with a history of not participating in the chain's deals is not participating in the current deal?

Who said they drove that many miles? They are popeye's in most major cities I think.

He's talking about the video linked on this page. They said there was only one Popeye's in Minnesota and many people were saying they drove in from other cities to get the deal.
