Popeye's Chicken Sandwich

Popeyes just opened a restaurant in Greeley, CO. I had my first spicy chicken sandwich today. My opinion was that the spicy was missing from the spicy chicken sandwich. I had to order a second one to verify the results... Not spicy. It could be that it was made in Colorado.
I definitely think it is, most likely, a regional thing. I've been to a few "Cajun-style" restaurants here in Birmingham(mostly run by NOLA/SE LA tranplants) and have been told they had to tone down the spiciness of their dishes because the locals here couldn't handle it.
