Reviewing POPEYES - My FIRST TIME!

After many recommendations after the Wendy's and Five Guys' review to try another American fast food place, I've decided to head down to Popeyes in Richmond which is famous for it's Louisiana style chicken. Lets see what it tastes like!

    Restaurant order screens aren't great for a multitude of reasons. Best advice I can give as a tech guy is to use the pad of your finger instead of the very tip, press instead of jab, and leave a slightly longer pause between the buttons.

    I love these reviews. Gary is very polite and seems to be a good, ordinary person which makes the reviews something to connect with. My grandchildren dragged us to Popeyes in Reading. Ordering on the screens was not easy and they had fingerprints on them, yuk! As for the food, it was OK but not worth the money. We ordered fries, but they had seasoning on them! Another yuk! But the kids loved it. I wouldn't bother again, can cook much better and cheaper at home, but I appreciate that's not the point for their customers.

    Surprised but pleased by how many people are anti self service. I work in retail currently, been there about 6 months. I'd say about 65-70% of our customers go for self service (give or take certain days, Saturdays are always so busy you don't keep track). But the ones that don't feel strongly about it and I always appreciate that conversation. I'm often left standing alone behind a counter watching people go to self service on quieter days. We aren't paid much but it's a challenging job. So it's rewarding to see people still prefer the interaction with humans. I'd always argue a computer is less likely to find or even offer solutions to specific problems. You're more likely to find a resolution with people intending to help people. Machines don't have that as a function. Ps, long ramble aside. Enjoy the channel, keep finding your videos somehow and I appreciate your fair/reasoned approach to food. It's refreshing when a lot of channels call everything great, or there's financial incentive to review positively. You can be fair, point out the flaws and rate on quality and still be respectful. I enjoy that about your reviews. 😊😊👌✌️

    @@deadzio @deadzio I get where you're coming from, but to be honest, these days I'd wait. I work in a clothing store too so, if there's an issue with your purchase, more likely a cashier is going to catch it/more likely you'll get it discounted by a manager. + our self service is card only + when there's 20+ people in the queue, there's 20+ people in self service. + no returns or exchanges at self service. Self service almost always goes wrong for me also, so the time you're waiting for someone to come and fix it, or approve an item, you've lost the time you were trying to save. Even using this video as an example, it'd have been quicker for Gary to know what he wanted to order and tell that to a person. I dunno, I just think there are more benifits to the interaction with a cashier than there are to a self service machine. I get them, I'm sure people like using them, too, I'm just a 32 year old dinosaur. 😅🤣🤷‍♂️✌️

    Another excellent video!! Love the variety of restaurants and places you visit. This is definitely one on my radar after last eating them in the USA. Chicken sandwich and the tenders looked amazing. Good to know it's not only me that has problems with the dreaded ordering kiosk, I would rather order on a phone app than use those machines. Hope all is well and hope you have a great weekend, take care

    I love the deluxe burger, I think it's prefect and well thought through. The slice of cold cheddar acts as a barrier to stop the crunchy gem lettuce from warming and wilting so it tastes fresh. Nothing worse than hot wilted lettuce in a chicken burger. Kind of wish you hadn't had dry fried chicken but glad you found the flaw so others can avoid. The tenders are awesome, so is the Mac and cheese.

    Just a note on the touchscreens: If the surface of the screen is glass, it is capacitive. This means that pressure does not matter, and can actually be detrimental to the experience. If it the surface is more like touching a computer monitor (one without glass over it ofc), then it is resistive and you will have to apply a little pressure to get it to respond. For capacitive touch screens, use the pad of one finger, sometimes fingertips will work, but pads are pretty much guaranteed. Using multiple fingers is inadvisable cause it can cause unintended behavior on some systems and on others will just cause your input to be outright ignored. (Think about it, the system knows what button you hit by figuring out the coordinates of the touch, if there are 2 sets of coordinates, do we do both actions? Do we choose one? Which one do we choose? Best course is to ignore them both) For resistive touch screens practically any implement pushing the 2 bits of the screen together will work, so the "jab with 2 fingers" method would work without issue on those.
