| - Once a year, I trek 15 miles from North Scottsdale to Popeyes for a special birthday - to go - dinner for a friend. (Don't ask).
Arriving today, there were signs up that said "cash only", because internet was down.
No one was in the restaurant except employees. Even the regional manager was there trying to get things sorted out.
I had no cash.
Instead of sending me to a cash machine, after hearing about my long drive, for a birthday dinner, he comped the whole meal, trimmings and all.
You'd think, perhaps, because they had to have turn away a ton of people who had no cash that the food would be less than fresh. Well, even after my journey back home, which took nearly a half hour, the chicken, mashed potatoes, rice and biscuits tasted as if they had just been put out.
Thanks, Dave. And I'll check out the new Popeyes locations opening closer to me soon.
