Doesn't have to be her but "perfect timing" screams Inside Man.

Except for one thing, she's white.

Plus she lives in Texas.

Detroit would have been so much better wouldn't it?

That's a bit of a prob ain't it?

But nothing that you guys can't get past.

Looking forward to what your buddy Rush Limbaugh will have to say.

Pulling out some worn themes now, aren't we?
Look, incompetence or criminal intent, whichever was the case here, is not defined by skin color. There's way more white clueless idiots running around the country than all the other skin tones combined.
And Texas? I think Texas sucks.

Well Wasilla it looks like your boys over at Pop-Eyes are having second thoughts after all the bad PR they got.

http://news.yahoo.com/popeyes-backtr...231236175.html

But do me a favor, will ya?

Keep an eye on this story and let me know when the cops get enough on her to make an arrest so that I can eat crow.

I suspect the "word on the street" was that Tuesday night is the best time to hit Pop-Eyes because that's the night they run their $1.19 special.

Tuesdays are always busy at one Texas Popeye’s location. It’s the night they run a popular special: two pieces of deep-fried chicken for $1.19.

"Then, on Thursday, local operators and Popeye’s corporate offices issued statements of regret to Consumerist, issuing apologies to employees and offering to reinstate Holcomb.
Holcomb is also being offered $2,000 in back pay—but she told KHOU she’s not sure she wants to go back to work for the chicken chain."

She should take the back pay and continue looking for another job. She owes Pop Eyes neither advance notice nor loyalty.

Yes, $1.19 for two pieces of chicken, that's pretty good. If the average customer also buys a drink for $1.00 and a side for $1.50, you get a total of $3.69. That means this dim bulb served food to about 108 people. Let's say the average order was for two people, so that's 54 cash register transactions without putting any money away. The last ten or twenty customers would witness a cash drawer opening, where they could quickly assess how deep the stack of $20's was. She's basically asking to get robbed at that point.

54 cash register transactions at the least. Not considering credit card transactions, let's say each transaction takes about 3 minutes. That's roughly 3 hours without making a cash drop. And, as I already pointed out, they were not busy at all by the time the gunman entered.

Popeye's doesn't want this idiot back, they're just doing the knee jerk reaction to the bad press.

Good grief Dude, you'll do anything to try to shift the blame onto a pregnant single mother instead of the fucking corporate fascists at Pop-Eye's.

Called her a bitch, called her an idiot, implied that she was in on it.

Kiss up and kick down.

Does that make you feel like a BIG MACHO MAN?

Just remembered.

Gonna hafta make one, and only one exception.

I told you I'd give you a "My Bad" if and when you post a link to evidence that this woman was in on the crime.

That still applies as I am a man of my word.

Boreas called her a stupid bitch. I just echoed it back so he'd know who I was talking about.

That's great that you're done. You were done when you started, and just didn't know it.
