A hungry Popeyes customer visited the Great Lakes Crossing mall location in Auburn Hills, Michigan and ordered his meal at a kiosk. When it was time to pay, the self-service machine asked for a tip. The diner, who posted the exchange on a popular Facebook group called Retail Dead or Alive, revealed, “Popeye’s ordering kiosk asked me for a tip today.” He then added picture proof where the display showed “Add a tip? A small way to thank the folks behind your crispy, juicy meal.” The chicken chain first announced the kiosks back in 2024 on an earnings call where CEO of Restaurant Brands International — parent company of Popeyes — Josh Kobza revealed nearly 85% of stores will add in the self-service pods by 2026.
