Whoa! Want to talk about price gouging?

I’m at a truck stop in Alabama. I go in to get something hot to eat. It’s late and Popeyes Chicken is only thing open. I’m hungry, so I order a 4pcs chicken dinner and 2 sides! I about passed out when she said that’ll be $21+. I said how much & she replied $21+!

No wonder business are closing! Soon, no one is going to be able to afford to buy anything!

Thanks Donnie and your wagon riding minions!

They’ll never see me at another Popeyes Chicken restaurant ever again! That is ridiculous to say the least!

8 pieces of chicken, 2 large sides and 4.biscuits for $21
I think that's expensive, but it's the best deal of the store.
So you can imagine how expensive.everything else is.

10 years ago in Bassel, Burger King was advertising their whopper deal, cheese whopper with fries and drink and it was 22 Euro then. Haven't checked since then.
