    CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A Popeyes manager was accused of shooting his co-worker over “burnt biscuits” last week in Charlotte, according to an affidavit.

    Rodney Wood, 22, was arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder.


    A witness, who was a customer at the time of the shooting, told police the altercation stemmed from an argument between Wood and another employee due to overcooked biscuits.

    The witness reported that both went outside after one “challenged” the other, leading to a physical fight. During the brawl, Wood allegedly pulled a gun and fired two rounds.

    Court documents stated that a video taken showed “[Wood] discharging his firearm twice at point-blank range.”

    I am pretty sure that is not in the managers operation manual.
    Oh wait, I just looked it up,
    Section 4 , sub paragraph D:
    "If an employee or assistant manager improperly prepares any of the trademarked items served by Popeye's Inc, such as but not limited to:
    Biscuits
    Gravy
    Chicken parts, thighs, legs, breasts
    Coleslaw
    The manager of the location is hereby instructed to take the employee to the parking lot behind the restaurant and enact disciplinary action as deemed appropriate.
    Popeye's Corporate policy.

    Rodney obviously cares about the quality of the biscuits under his watch.

    He demands his biscuits to be good enough to die for.

    Don’t think I ever had bad Biscuit from Popeyes, with that much pressure to make them right you definitely won’t send them out burnt. I wonder what happens if you burn the chicken ?
