Tennessee Man Sues Popeyes For Running Out Of Chicken Sandwiches

Just days after a woman beat up Popeye’s employee over chicken sandwich, news broke that Popeyes has run out of chicken sandwiches.

Lovers of the delicacy have been grumbling and fuming over the heartbreaking reports.

People have been queueing up nationwide to get their Popeye’s chicken sandwich with Quavo planning to sell his already purchased Popeye’s chicken sandwiches for $1K a piece.

Fans of the hugely popular sandwich were disappointed to learn that it’s currently sold out nationwide. Someone has recently taken things to a new level. A man has filed $5K lawsuit against Popeyes for running out of chicken sandwiches as shared by theshaderoom.

According to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution (@ajc,) Craig Barr, of East Ridge, Tennessee, is apparently so upset that Popeyes no longer has anymore chicken sandwiches that he’s gone so far as to file an official lawsuit…yes, you read that right.

In a court summons filed earlier this week, Barr states that he’s suing Popeyes for “false advertising, deceptive business practices by entity to public. Countless time wasted driving to and from Popeyes. No chicken sandwich. Was told to come back this day- still no sandwich.”

Despite the sandwich currently being unavailable, Popeyes has promised that it will definitely be back, but that’s not good enough for Barr to drop his lawsuit.

“I can’t get happy; I have this sandwich on my mind. I can’t think straight. It just consumes you.”

Barr also explained that he was making regular trips to three local Popeyes locations to get his hands on the sandwich. During one of these trips a tire blew out on his car, causing a cracked rim totaling $1,500.

He later revealed that he was so desperate to have the chicken sandwich that he answered a Craigslist ad in which a man said he knew a Popeyes employee and could get him a chicken sandwich for $25. Barr claims he met up with the man behind a Popeyes, gave him the money, but that the man left and he got scammed.

Barr is asking for $5,000 and his court date is set for October 28th.
