Worked at Lee's in the late 90s, this wasn't an unusual request, would happen maybe once a shift.
Depending on the exact location, day, etc, the chicken can be sitting in the warmer for a good while. I didn't think there was much difference between fresh fresh and sitting a few minutes, but obviously the longer it sits the more dried out and dead it becomes. If I'm getting an 8+ piece I'll usually ask when the spicy was dropped, and if it's been a while I'll ask about the regular. If spicy sounds old I'll forego it in favor of fresher regular, and if both are old I'll get the spicy and be angry because who waits for fresh chicken?
Again, all experience caveat late 90's practice.
