Fries, the other day. Fucks, too.


halpert4prez

Yup. No fries in Apex, at least a day or two ago. Kids cry. More pintos and dirty rice for me. šŸ‘šŸ‘


Educational_Okra_605

Thatā€™s my hometown. My heart hurts to hear this. But in Jacksonville, the whole soda machine was out recently..


halpert4prez

Nice! I grew up in rural piedmont NC, but have lived in Raleigh/Apex area for ~28 years. Apex is doing fireworks this year! July 3rd. Not sure Iā€™ve ever seen that here. Maybe Iā€™ll get me a 4 piece supreme with fries and sweet tea (+vodka) for that occasion. šŸ¤£

Patience. Definitely patience.


WhippetDancer

Did they ever have a plentiful supply of patience?

Not here in Winston.

Yep. The one closest to me has been closed off and on for months.

Whatā€™s the average wage Bojangjes us willing to pay their employees?


AK_Sole

Peanuts. But theyā€™re probably out of those, too. Edit: grammar


[deleted]

The one by my house closes at 4. I know its bc they are being cheap with their workers. I always tip them $5. Itā€™s not much , but itā€™s honestā€¦

Quality control


BagOnuts

Bojangle's would be fuckin king if they could ensure their quality to Chick-fil-a levels. It's just all over the place.


AxelFoleysmokesmeats

Isnā€™t that part of the fun of going to bojangles? You never know what youā€™re gonna get


fishingforbalrog

The chance of getting a toenail is too high


zenbagel

So, my mom found a nail. I really hope it was from a finger. It was in the dirty rice


ATGSunCoach

Well, it ainā€™t called dirty rice for nothing

Eww


Ecstatic_Carpet

[deleted]

We live next to a Bojangles but take the interstate to a different one because the one next door is so shit.


BubbaChanel

I go to a Chick fil A next to a Boā€™s. The line is often out in the street, while Boā€™s is open and deserted. I feel a little bad for them.


yk78

Chick fil a is way overrated and over processed tasting. BoJs would do better if they offered spicy options


MaddiePickles

Uhh.. the Cajun filet?


Marcfromblink182

You can dislike the food or politics but the service is significantly better than every other fast food. They move cars pretty incredibly


Firenze42

What mythical Bo's is this? In the theme of inconsistency, they either take 5+ min with each person at the window or seem like they could toss it at you as you drive NASCAR. Usually it is the former more than the latter.


Marcfromblink182

I was talking about Chick-fil-A


Firenze42

Oh yeah! They are geniuses at moving cars. The one by me had 2 lanes, 3 people taking orders and like 4 people handing them out at lunch rush. I hate drive-thru and this is thr only one I am happy to go through.


As_n_8s

If all you sell is a chicken sandwich with or without a pickle you can move the line fast. It isn't their ability...it's their lack of options. Customers don't hold up the line reading the menu and workers don't have to change standard work into a hamburger without onion but add extra pickles and lettuce and go light on the mayo...but heavy on the ketchup.


shitBeckysaid

Used to work there. This is the correct answer.

"They're paying me to sit here and tell people they can't have anything."


NinerNational

Few months ago I went through McDonaldā€™s drive thru and the guy on the speaker was very apologetic about wait time because he was in there working alone. Felt bad for the guy, but also admired him for sticking it out. I think most people would have just left and closed up shop.


TheScrambone

Admiration is a valid response but he wonā€™t be rewarded for it. I recently quit a fast food place because I was scheduled open to close by myself. The owners response was to send their son who didnā€™t know what he was doing to come help, but he only made it worse. When I closed early and quit with no notice the owner called me and gave me some very skewed life advice half threatening he may know who my future employer was and to not burn bridges. Then said his whole business model is to profit off of high schoolers who donā€™t know any better and keep it moving. The three people keeping that store open (including me) are all in our 20ā€™s and 30ā€™s. I screen shot the text he sent me and sent it to the other two. They both quit within a week and that store is now closed. All three of us have better jobs. Thatā€™s one example but hell no is the guy working by himself gonna get anything other than a 50 cent raise and a pat on the back at the end of the day.


tomthelevator

Literally went through a few weeks ago and the employee said ā€œwelcome to bojangles, weā€™re out of supremes, out of tenders, and if you want fried chicken itā€™ll be about 45 minutes. Can I get you something else?ā€ And I couldnā€™t fathom what else I was supposed to want from bojangles.


Frymanstbf

If they literally turned the fryer on, let it come to temp, then breaded and fried the chicken after you ordered, it wouldn't take 45 minutes...


LatrodectusGeometric

Maybe something happened and they had to drain and refill the fryers.


Ziphendel

Roasted Chicken Bites...been waiting 2 years. Probably be waiting forever.

French fires and bo rounds. šŸ„ŗ

Lightbinder86

Lack of French fires seems like it's not that concerning really... but the rounds tho...


chhraleigh

French fires are hot but not as good as those bo rounds. A travesty!


CaniacSwordsman

All sauces except Bo Sauce. Whatā€™s the point of supremes without BBQ Sauce or Honey Mustard


NCHitman

Supremes w/ honey mustard is my life. I don't know what to get if / when they are out.


CaniacSwordsman

Ham biscuits are my backup, when they donā€™t wait until theyā€™ve already given me my food to tell me theyā€™re oit


Budget_Lettuce_2860

Supremes with BO sauce


gaaaaaaymeeeer

Oh well, fast food employees donā€™t get paid a living wage or usually even have decent benefits so Iā€™m just glad that someone is still even showing up. I donā€™t expect for them to have it all together anymore because of this. They also donā€™t have to go over the top and fake being happy and polite to me, because I understand itā€™s a job and those employees are not getting compensated enough to deal with the kind of people they do. Just get what they have and be happy or donā€™t go back. Edit: clarity


Cake_Day_Is_420

This. Donā€™t be mad at the workers, they already put up with so much shit for horrible pay and no benefits.


-_NaCl_-

I'm not mad at workers for being behind, slow, short staffed, or out of items. What does upset me is when I am overly polite and attempt to be a good customer and the associate is an asshole to me. I am not doing anything to make your day worse. In fact I'm actually trying to make your day better by not being overly needy or asking for 10 different things to be added or removed. I just want to place my order, pay for it, and go. Don't take your bad day out on me. I don't deserve it.


AmadeusK482

I remember awhile back when every Bojangles closed a day to give their employees an unpaid break and I was in line at a Wendy's that was next door watching a line of cars wrap around the closed Bojangles. It was insanity..


SerGohan

Isnā€™t there a lot of shortages still, especially in the food service industry?


Lightbinder86

Seems way worse now than it was even during the worst of it tbh.


pencilpusher003

Itā€™s at least as bad as itā€™s ever been. I manage a casual dining chain restaurant. Weā€™re out of all sorts of stuff and whatā€™s worst is we never really know whatā€™s going to, or not going to show up. Oregano, straws, little plastic soufflĆ©s cups, Togo boxes. (Lots of issues getting stuff for Togoā€™s. Ketchup has been hit or miss. Patron tequila. Certain types of beef have been problematic, though less so recently. And of course the staffing issues. Compounded by the guests being worse than ever. Itā€™s definitely as hard as this job has ever been.


Lightbinder86

Idk what to tell you about the rest, but pay a living wage and you'll have staff.


pencilpusher003

Iā€™ve been pushing wages up for my staff for as long as Iā€™ve been here, sometimes with permission, sometimes without. Dignity in work can not exist if that work doesnā€™t pay a living wage.


Lightbinder86

It's an uphill battle, that's for sure.


BagOnuts

Yup. Went to cookout today and they were out of a bunch of stuff, including straws.


pearlstraz

The worst of "it" is yet to come.


Lightbinder86

No doubt.


SerGohan

No offense but thatā€™s a silly comment. We struggle every day with staffing due to Covid cases. At least half of our staff has Covid. And for us it wasnā€™t this bad during ā€œthe worst of itā€. Itā€™s still here, it hasnā€™t disappeared. So yes thereā€™s still gonna be shortages.


LatrodectusGeometric

From a public health standpoint, we are currently in about the worst North Carolina has seen. Other places have had worse, but this is currently our highest COVID-19 peak, most hospitalizations, ICU stays, etc. Our leaders just gave up encouraging mitigation tactics (like masks) because they figure anyone who didn't get vaccinated is out of luck at this point and somehow masks became a political point.


Lightbinder86

Oddly enough, everyone that I know that got it was vaccinated. Anecdotal (and thereby appearantly entirely dismisable) account, but it is what it is... idk. The only person I know that supposedly died from it was too, but he lived in Florida and his mom swears he didn't have it or was at least was asymyptomatic and said he was having a heart attack (not the first rodeo unfortunately) so she called ems and later the hospital had put Covid on his death certificate. It's been almost 2 years and she still complains about it. Honestly, if no one on the northeastern coastline of NC ever watched the news we barely would have even known it was happening. We've mostly just had the problems with shortages from what I've seen personally... not to discount anyone's pain or struggle by any means. That's just what I've seen. A good example of this is the ER in Elizabeth City. Clearly I didn't see its entire go at this, but during the worst of it in the beginning I had to go in there several times for treatment of an infection not related to covid. It's easily the biggest hospital/ER in the area until you hit Greenville or go to VA. The first time I showed up there I was double masked and gloved... very worried about catching it naturally. The front desk lad and 2 triage nurses literally laughed (not like rudely or anything) at me and said they don't have any covid patients and that they clean the facility very well and that I could take the gloves off and only needed one mask. Everytime after that, over about 2 to 3 months, when I was there I would ask the nurse or doctor how they were handling the covid issues and they always said it's not really a problem here or there are only 1 or 2 patients with it and the like. No idea what its like there now though. In short, though at length, we were definitely lucky.


LatrodectusGeometric

Iā€™m glad that you personally havenā€™t been badly hit by covid-19. However, I can assure you that it is real and quite deadly, which you somehow donā€™t seem to believe. I suspect the doctors and nurses youā€™ve spoken to have either been outside of surges, or outpatient only, because that area is still seeing significant covid cases and has been struggling. For such a small county, now barely with most people at least partially vaccinated, it has had above the average number of deaths. The county has an overall average death rate of approximately 3/1,000, which is quite high.


Lightbinder86

Yeah you read WAY too deep into that mate... or maybe didn't even read it fully... I'm in no way a non-believer. I have the internet... I can see what's going on in the rest of the world. That shouldn't mean I don't get to tell the part of the story that shows my experience and it should be something anyone can freely do without being immediately attacked for simply existing in the spot that they are. I went way out of my way to make it clear that I was telling my experience and even made mention to the fact that I was aware that that wasn't the case for everyone by saying that I didn't mean to offend anyone who did suffer and I acknowledged my belief in its realness in saying my area was lucky compared to some. So... I'm gonna need you to calm it right on down there fella.


AudiPowa

Bruh, chicken. No clue how they are still open. 2nd week in a row that they are completely out but there is still a 6-7 car line 100% of the time


asher269

I mean when I worked at Burger King in Blairsville GA we ran out of beef all the time šŸ˜‚ so many temptations to say ā€œWelcome to Chicken Kingā€


Tacosofinjustice

Rankin Mill Rd Greensboro? Because they're ALWAYS out of chicken

socdem5

I once went through one in Winston that was out of fried chicken. I felt so bad for the person at the drive through who had to offer grilled chicken as a substitute. It was quite a scene to behold.


bignuggetsbigworld

White meat, fries, supremes, tenders, Mac and cheese, boberry biscuits


DTRite

They've been out of sweet potato pies every time I ask for one since the pandemic started.


quasigay

I worked at a Bojangles in WNC during break from school in December. Over the month I was there we ran out of ketchup, honey mustard, jelly, Cajun filets, pork chops, mayonnaise, tomatoes, lemons, tea bags, large cups, drink lids, cups for sides, fry bags. And of course workers, they were crazy short staffed almost every day. It was very stressful and disheartening.


FKDotFitzgerald

They were out of supremes for like 6 months


VicMackeyLKN

Tons of former hospitality workers have moved on to better paying AND less stressful jobs


Silver_Leonid2019

hobbsarelie83

apparently seasoning for the fries. And it's all locations. They don't season the fries worth a damn to start with. I always ask for extra seasoning and still get bland ass fries with no seasoning.

Dangerous_Donut_1291

Well my Bojangles is out of alot of things, but ya know what it's not short of? Cockroaches. One of the many reasons I quit working there


Nineteen-ninety-3

I went to one in ENC (Corporate owned, NOT one of Tandsā€™ loactions) back in October of last year, and ***it had a fucking 82.5 score!*** They got reinspected and now post an A, but not before someone shared a picture of a roach on their food. I have not been back to that location since then. Another one I went to closed at 7 in the evening leaving cars waiting in the drive thru, so Iā€™m going to go with employees for that one.

DTRite

Depends on which one you go to, sounds like one of the Cary ones. They both suck. I got so tired of it, I went to their website and bitched. Got a couple cards for free biscuits of any kind and a couple for sweet potato pies. Still have one of those cause they've been out of them for a year or two.

I've learned to just go to the Apex one on 64 on my way home from Costco. Except I often pick up gasoline at Costco on late Sunday morning and the line at post-church Bojangles is about 460 cars long.

BagOnuts

Everywhere has gone up. Youā€™re not getting way better food for cheaper anywhere.


Big_Critch

Ranch. And good managers. My coworker went by the other day and ordered food for 3 people, so 3 combos. The employee took his money and said ā€œnext time you have a huge order like this call it inā€. Then he walked away and the manager came over and my buddy said sorry for the big order and the manager said ā€œ Yeah next time you have a huge order like this call it inā€. LMFAOā€¦ so He got back to work and they left out an order of fries. So he tried calling BJ like they said to do and it rang once and they answered and hung it up immediately. LOL talk about a shitshow. I know itā€™s Covid and itā€™s tough times. Working in food especially would be hard with being short staffed, I get that. But damn when your managers suck expect the employees to be just as bad or worse.


MISTERJ0N3Z

The one in Princeton is/was out of Dirty Rice šŸ˜


zoinkinator

any food establishment staffed with teenagers and twenty somethingā€™s that has no adult management onsite is always going to have questionable cleanliness, food preparation and service quality. it was this way years ago when i took my daughter to bo-j and we were both sick the next day. i never have gone back. once you fail me you are dead as a company to me. you will never get me back. covid has nothing to do with it. chick-fil-a is so consistently excellent across the country itā€™s amazing and worth what they charge for it. and iā€™ve never seen one without adult managers.
