So, those of you touting Popeye's responsibility for this are, by insinuation, asserting that Popeye's was negligent in preventing this man from attacking this woman. You are asserting that Popeye's failed to do something. Please, then, explain what that "something" might be. Something tangible - some area in which Popeye's clearly failed. Something you would put in place, in your own business, to prevent an employee from doing something similar.

If the corporation requires employees to go through training which addresses issues like this then they are probably in the clear. If they don't offer training, or have a policy that states such behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated then a good lawyer could make a case for some sort of negligence.
So without knowing if the training is in place one can't say whether or not they are liable. Not responsible, but liable.
