Popeye's Chicken Sandwich

So i went to a Popeyes here in Nashville today at 12:30.. my plan was to get some spicy tenders with mashed potatoes and some Mardi Gras Mustard dipping sauce.. but as soon as i pull up, an employee’s voice comes thru the speaker and said “We’re closed until 1:30, all our machines are down”…. What the ?? I had no idea what that even meant, so i just drove off and went somewhere else.. but boy, it sure woulda been nice if they’d put up a temporary sign somewhere to save people the trouble , but nope they still had the neon ‘OPEN’ sign flashing out front…. I hope they got their “machines” fixed.
This type of thing is common. The Wendy's close to me is notorious for this. Then there are the times where they accept cash only, but you only find out when you finally get to the order speaker. Cane's and Smoothie King have recently gotten me with that one.

So that's not just a Popeye's thing.
