The good news is that Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen opened in our
little town. The bad news is that the lane entering the lot has
been clogged up since it opened. Not to be negative or anything,
but the drive-through was not a good experience. We had to wait
about 20 minutes to get our food. Unfortunately, the staff was not
ready for the mission they have taken on.
If you'd opted to go inside for your order you probably would have
walked out with it in hand in about 10 minutes.
It's Popeyes - they don't cotton to criticism.When we finally got home, the sandwiches we found to have paper in
them. Hopefully, the person assembling the sandwiches was unaware
of the paper keeping the cheese slices separate. I like to think
that it was a manager that was responsible. One sandwich had two
bottom buns. That probably threw their entire assembly sequence
into a tizzy.
As annoying as it would have been, I'd driven back with that order
and gone inside and asked what seems to be the problem with
assembling sandwiches?

Unlikely, counter orders get in line with drive through many places.

went to Kapahulu Popeye's for an online / drive through. at the drive through, they forgot about 2/3's of my order. no drink, no sides, no sauce, etc. checked as much as i could, drove off. noticed that the pieces of chicken were less than advertised. called to notify them, they said "sorry, cant help. go online" definitely will never return to this place ever again. horrible in every way possible.

Long waiting inside the store, They just let you wait for 15 plus
minutes, they are trying to serve the drive through first, may be next
time better do drive, through. Can't help just wait, wait, and wait.
Too bad.
I hate to agree, but...this is typical in any Popeyes I have tried.
Not well-sorted at the counter or drive through.

It's important to have a good crew behind the counter. My wife used
to work at McDonald's for less than a week. That was not a happy
crew. The boss was not nice. Then she worked at Jack-in-the-Box. It
sounds like that was a happy crew. Maybe they were too happy. OTOH,
in those days, you had to place you order at the drive through by
talking to a clown head. My wife (then a grillfriend) was so cute. My
friend and I went in there and order some nasty food and watch her
working. When we got the food, we're standing there and she's
standing there. We're waiting to pay and she's waiting for us to beat
it. As far as petty larceny it was strictly amateur hour. We never
did get to hone our skills to a dangerous sharp edge.
As far as Popeye's goes, you got to admit that it's a nice, clean,
building anyway.
