One of Popeye’s angry employees completely ruined the entire store in Chicago claiming that he has not been paid for an entire month’s work. A viral video of the incident was uploaded on TikTok by a user named Sarah, one of his co-workers.
The video was uploaded on Tuesday, and it went viral by Thursday morning, within less than two days. Now, it has way more than 100,000 views. The caption of the video stated, “This is what happens when you don’t get paid for a month.”
Popeyes’ employee trashes the rightful
The video uploaded by Sarah begins with the employee tearing open multiple bags of chicken and flipping them over to the floor. He then moves on to packaged boxes of french fries and tosses them all over.

The next clip of the TikTok video shows the stockroom of the Popeye’s outlet which has been completely trashed by tipped over storage shelves, garbage bins, and the chicken and french fries.
The video proceeds with a few pictures of the flipped cash register, and the credit card machine with the cord completely cut off. The Popeye’s employee also went on to steal all the money inside the cash register.
How did people react to the viral Popeyes clip?
Viewers of the TikTok video did have variable responses to the incident. Some people were definitely on his side but most opposed his actions at the store. There were hundreds of responses on TikTok, and here are a few of them.
Constantly hustling backwards. Probably not getting paid at all now, and possibly incurring fines or criminal charges. Just quit.

Good, he should’ve poured oil down the drains too. Wage theft is theft.

It’s sad because a person who probably makes nothing will get stuck cleaning that up.

This is an adult child throwing a tantrum, turning into vandal, and then thief. What alternate reality did we step into where we reward this type of behavior?

This former employee failed to provide banking info and couldn’t be paid by direct deposit. When told that he couldn’t be paid in cash, he vandalized the restaurant. This behavior is unacceptable. The franchisee has paid him in full, terminated employment and contacted police.
