Im at a truck stop in Alabama. I go in to get something hot to eat. Its late and Popeyes Chicken is only thing open. Im hungry, so I order a 4pcs chicken dinner and 2 sides! I about passed out when she said thatll 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!
Theyll never see me at another Popeyes Chicken restaurant ever again! That is ridiculous to say the least!

I think that's expensive, but it's the best deal of the store.
So you can imagine how expensive.everything else is.

(2,050 posts)It is all dark chicken. You can get just the chicken or anemic tenders for $10 on their own on Tuesdays.

(2,050 posts)And they gave me a partial refund. I do not care for dark meat, so I have not gotten their dark bucket. www.fastfoodpost.com/kfc-brings-back-10-tuesdays that link talks about the deals. Then, a few months ago, you could get the basic $10 deal or do the deal you talked about. For me, not eating dark meat, I can just order four breasts for $13. Just as much meat. Not as cheap but I am happy and can get it any day of the week.
I hope you enjoy.

Zurich sounds MUCH better.

(7,069 posts)I haven't stopped in Switzerland in a few years. Only on trains in Zurich on the way to Italy.
We need to get there again since we have 2 sets of friends in der Schweiz.

(10,818 posts)I find those are usually high priced anyway. Also high priced roadside restaurants are found on toll road service areas.
Also I find a lot of TAs have a significant amount of their parking set up for paid parking.
