Some companies now don't want your comments but give the impression
they do or hide the submit button. I'm thinking that the "Click here"
right beside the "Would you like us to contact you" is one . Did you
try to click the the Click here link?

I tried everything obvious. That "Click Here" is from the previous
form where you *can* click to check that box, but not on that form
itself (this is just the summary form). I even tried clicking on
the word "Submit".

Obviously the page was made up incorrectly and never checked if it
worked. The web company that made their site will get hell for that.

Did you notice there was a envelope in the bottom left corner? Maybe
a possible email link?

Steve is correct about the size of Popeye's chicken pieces. It almost
seems like they use juvenile chickens. Their prices are high too.
Taste-wise, I'd say their chicken (spicy) and their sides are the best
in the industry, but I'm not made out of money. Up until a few months
ago, the local Popeye's accepted competitor's coupons (Church's), but
they quit doing that, so no more Popeye's for me.

That envelope is part of my Seamonkey browser, not the web page
itself.

Try again starting with popeyes.com

Click on customer service at the bottom and log your complaint.

I did a test and it was fine. I wasn't redirected to servicecheck.net
as you were.

Steve - I just wanted to point out that you are seeing what I think is
norm for the food industry. Hook the cattle on our product, than fleece
them for what their worth.. I have two examples to share.

When Wendy's first started, you could not even make that good of a
burger at home without grilling. Juicy, all parts fresh, never over
cooked, and multiple napkins needed to eat a single burger. Now they're
just cheap fast food.

I use to really like Boston Market. But now the chicken is so small, I'm
wondering if they switched to using squab or Cornish hens without
telling anyone. I actually still like the flavor, but why pay $7 plus
for something you can make at home for half the price?

I also use to love KFC, but now they are just as lame as any other fast
food place. You are just as likely to get chicken that have sat under a
heat lamp for hours shrinking, as you are to get anything worth eating.

Just my empathetic thoughts.

Bob

Wild goose chase. There is no "Customer Service" link on the front
page. There's a "Contact Us", then customer service on that page,
and then the same forms without any submit buttons. I've tried it
in Seamonkey and IE7.

Oh, is Greg still stalking me? He sure does hang on every word I
say - he even mentioned the degree. Isn't that sweet.

I'd bet he saves all my posts in a folder and reads them while
surfing gayconstructionworkerswithbananas.com.

Tried it for myself using Firefox 3.0.011. Filled out the interminable
forms until finally reaching the final page which had a plainly
labeled and apparently valid Submit button (I did not submit since I
didn't have a valid comment).

I use the No Script plugin and had to allow popeyes and servicecheck
(or whatever it was called).

It does not work under IE8 and Seamonkey. I find it hard to believe
it *only* works with Firefox.

Here it is from my computer at work, a much more "Microsoft Friendly" and
compliant computer: I repeat, No Submit Button.

Perhaps the food sucks so bad in Texas that they don't even want to hear
from us any more.

While don't you file a complaint that some of us can't file complaints.
Include my screen shots, too.
