Tennessee man sued Popeye's for running out of its new chicken sandwich



Ew, that bread is gross. 

The difference between what is promised and what is provided is not the reason the man sued.

It looks like the bun had a flat.

The bread that does that, OMG, that's what it does in your stomach except worse. One time at ten years of age I saw my older brother prepare for a day-long absence from home, as his practice through the summer. This was outside of Tatchikowa outside of Tokyo, and we just got there. Imagine a boy running around the outskirts of Tokyo. He really was an adventurer.  He took several slices of Wonder bread and smashed them flat as a steam-rolled pancake and put them in his back pocket. And I was all, "Ew, gross. You're freaking me out." 

Popeye's didn't prepare sufficiently for their rollout. The customer obsessed about the sandwich and ran into quite a lot of trouble to get the sandwich independent of Popeye's. 
I can’t get happy.  I have this sandwich on my mind. I can’t think straight. It just consumes you. 
It’s totally deceptive. Who runs out of chicken? It’s a big fiasco. Someone has to stand up to big corporate. Everyone is captivated by these sandwiches. They’ve got everyone gassed up on them.
He's going to lose.

1)  Company's who underestimate response are the people who run out. That's who.
2)  No. It is not a big fiasco. It's just a sandwich
3)  Nobody has to stand up to big corporate
4) Not everyone is captivated by these sandwiches.
5) Not everyone is gassed up.

Popeye's is not responsible for the man's happiness. Popeye's is not responsible for what's on the man's mind. Not responsible for him not thinking straight. Not responsible for him being sandwich-consumed.

It was a big fiasco because the man blew a tire and damaged his car's rim. He blew a tire because his tires are crap. He damaged his car's rim because he drove around on a flat tire.

After he fixed his car he went on Craigslist where someone claimed his friends at Popeye's had some stashed in the freezer. The Craigslist guy told the guy suing Popeye's to meet him behind one of the Popeye's locations.

The man suing paid the Craigslist man $25.00 for a $5.00 sandwich. He gave him too much money for a sandwich. The Craigslist man never returned.

A Popeye's employee said that a man matching the description of the Craigslist man bought something and left out the front door.

The suing man was humiliated by his friends who laughed. Because the man's behavior is ridiculous. He filed suit for $5,000 and he's representing himself.

See? Self-representation in court proves he's ridiculously prone to bad decisions.

All those things together is how we can safely predict the man will lose his suit. He cannot separate all his problems associated with his own obsession with Popeye's simply running out. That day. Come on!

Come to think of it, Burger Fi next door is advertising their new chicken tenders quite heavily. Large signs all over the place. Online, and a large board at the entrance, and on the base of their their counter, and the top of their counter, and on their overhead menu. And on the walls. But they ran out the first day. Signs still up. And boy, was I disappointed. But I bought something else and went back a few days later and to my surprise they had them. And they really are rather good.

Wanna see 'em?
They belong in a chicken tender museum.


The good thing about them is you can buy extra, bring them home, refrigerate them, then re-heat them in the oven to original crispy greatness. 

Not in the microwave. In the regular oven. No puffy buns to be flattened.

If Popeye's and Chik-Fil-A were the last two places on Earth to eat, I'd have to flip a coin to see which one I'd be forced to visit.

I would eat tree bark before consuming food from either joint.

Two tasty sandwiches. In neither the Popeye's nor the Chik-Fil-A version does the chicken taste like dry cardboard. Are they haute cuisine? Of course not. But taken for what they are and eaten occasionally there's nothing wrong with them and they ain't gonna killya. Sheesh, what a buncha food snobs here.

The Dude said...

Snob? But of course. But the reason I wouldn't eat either has more to do with profound food allergies which, if I consumed FF anything, would result in my immediate hospitalization. I am trying to save money here.

Food snob? I eat corned beef hash, I've written more than one check in a 24-hour period to Huddle House, I eat Chef Boyardee cold out of the can, and I owned a Dairy Queen for sixteen years. But I won't eat Popeye's or Chik-Fil-A.

Popeye's serves crawfish etoufee about once a year. Last time they did they ran out. Didn't know suing was an option. Cajuns should sue Popeye's for cultural misappropriation. I guarOHNtee Cajuns are descended from French Canadians which should surprise their ad agency.

Justine Wilson approves!
