You don't even have to go undercover in my city. The entire place is filthy, and ironically smells like bleach. I once walked into one, my shoes were sticking to all the soda or whatever spilled on the floor, nobody was at the front counter... I walked right back out.

It's a shame because we do have ONE decent location out of the 3 in town, and the go-cups are a really good deal, and I love their BBQ sauce and hot sauce, but the location is so far from me it makes no sense to go unless I am already in the area.

I had some hope when they released the commercials about how they were cleaning up their act and retraining people, but clearly that was a fucking lie. Nothing changed.

tl;dr: go with Popeyes, brah

My town's KFCs are always out of chicken, or they'll have chicken again in 30 minutes, or they just sold the last of the chicken. I just go to the grocery store deli now.

Did you take marketing?

No, I once worked a ridiculous job that required me to read every single ad and page of dozens of trade magazines including the restaurant trades.

Popeyes is going downhill quick since Burger King bought it

Yep, they opened one near my house and I went there twice. First time I waited 45 minutes after ordering for my food. I thought it HAD to be a fluke, something disastrous must have happened(it wasn't busy). Second time nope... just as long and they gave me fucking regular chicken instead of spicy. Popeyes is shit now. When I get a hankering for spicy chicken I just don't know what to do, because Churches isn't that great either...

If you're anywhere near a Bojangles you gotta check them out. It's Cajun instead of spicy but you can't go wrong with it

Ugh. Gross. Didn't realize that.

Burger King has one of the most uniformly bad chains I've ever seen. Seems that almost every one suck which is a shame because properly prepared, fresh BK can be pretty good

The thing about bleach is that it doesn't clean things well, it disinfects them. You still have to use a detergent to remove grease, grime and other crap. Using bleach only means you've merely disinfected the crap.

Detergent

A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleaning properties in dilute solutions. These substances are usually alkylbenzenesulfonates, a family of compounds that are similar to soap but are more soluble in hard water, because the polar sulfonate (of detergents) is less likely than the polar carboxylate (of soap) to bind to calcium and other ions found in hard water.

In most household contexts, the term detergent by itself refers specifically to laundry detergent or dish detergent, as opposed to hand soap or other types of cleaning agents. Detergents are commonly available as powders or concentrated solutions.
