GAME OVER CHAMP
Hey Popeyes nice to know you hire felons…
So….felons don’t get to work???
We stopped going to POPEYE’S when they discontinued those fantastic ONION RINGS they made. Why they stopped serving those, is anybody’s guess. They were to-die-for. The rest of their stuff is deep fried stuff which is INEDIBLE!
So….felons don’t get to work???
Of course they do. They can work at doing situps, pushups and pullups all while trying to find Jesus behind bars while you go to work and pay for it all.
Cheryl, I know what you mean. We used to just get those great onion rings — double and triple portions — but then, suddenly, they said they no longer make those. Shame!
One more place to my kids away from.

Waldo! Seriously! Either you’re pulling our collective leg, or you really need to take some REMEDIAL ENGLISH WRITING CLASSES! Your spelling suffers badly! Was the THIRD GRADE your SENIOR YEAR?
I don’t hire felons! Not on your life! They can start to rebuilt their lives by starting at the bottom and working their way up IF someone wants to take a chance on them.
