A Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen restaurant in Toronto is under scrutiny, with employees of the franchise protesting outside the Scarborough location this week, alleging unpaid wages, unsanitary conditions, and other concerns. Employees of the Popeyes at 2633 Lawrence Ave E, in Scarborough, are protesting against their employer, Irfan Memon, and demanding action from the corporate higher-ups at Popeyes. A concerned employee told blogTO in an email statement that Memom has not paid wages in weeks, saying that "employees are behind five pay cheques. blogTO has not independently verified allegations of food sourcing, though Popeyes has indeed been in hot water over accusations of chicken stored in residential garages. Adding to the laundry list of alarming issues flagged by employees, workers at this Popeyes location also shared a video showing unhygienic conditions in the restaurant's kitchen.
