Whoa! Want to talk about price gouging? [View all]

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!
