The Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich craze has been one to remember over the past two weeks. The item has supposedly been on the popular fast food chain’s menu for a while now but people finally caught on to it and fell in love.
One man in Tennessee is so fed up with the fact that the sandwiches sold out that he’s suing Popeyes for “false advertising, deceptive business practices by entity to public,” according to WTVC. His name is Craig Barr as he says “countless time was wasted driving” in trying to get the sandwich. Barr went on to say that he would come back to another date that he was told that there would be more sandwiches but Popeyes would always run out.
Barr also claims that he was “hustled” when he responded to a Craigslist ad where someone said he knew a Popeyes employee who’d stash sandwiches and sell them for $24. Barr paid for a sandwich but it was never delivered. This wasn’t the smartest move considering the fact that he should’ve went and got the sandwich in person.
Barr will be suing Popeyes for $5,000 in damages. Popeyes has too much power to lose in this case. It’s hard to win a case where you’re just suing because a popular item at a company gets sold out. Check out the court documents filed by Barr in Hamilton County court below.
