All I really wanted was two fried chicken breast and thought I would just pick them up on way home from Popeyes on the way since my wife wasn’t feeling well. (Chick filet closed on Sunday) I went ahead a got the meal since I like their dirty rice.

They have some damn changing menu screen and there was suddenly 6 cars behind mr so I didn’t want to be that guy. I grab a chicken sandwich from them a few times a year so I have no clue what anything cost and I didn’t even see it on the flashing menu. So 8 chicken tenders 4 biscuits and a little thing of dirty rice was $29.69. I thought it was a mistake. I told the lady I just ordered the little strips not whole chicken and she assured me that’s this is correct abs went over whole order. I could buy 5 whole chickens for that at Costco. That’s no drink etc. And it’s half the size of Canes or anyone else’s, no way you could feed a family. Oh and to add insult to injury they gave me regular instead of spicy

I will never bitch about Canes prices again.

8 tenders, 4 biscuits, and a side for $30 doesn’t seem that out of line to me

You have to use coupons or get specials at Popeyes or it’s a ripoff

Gotta check the app.

You can get 6 tenders, 2 sides and 2 biscuits on the app for $12.99

You can also get 14 tenders, 2 larger sides and 5 biscuits for $25.99.

I want to box you just for this spelling.

Then go do that.

It's $30. $30 is literally the new $20.

Prices go up. They're going to keep going up. Forever. That's how the economy works.

If they go down we have much bigger problems.

Old white guy, don’t know 10 times more about Copeland than Popeyes, other than they have good chicken sandwich. I really like their dirty rice spicy chicken as no one else here has spicy chicken but they gave me regular anyway. Live and learn

He did have to call a locksmith to unlock his car with a key to be fair

Maybe I’m just getting pickier about food and service as I get older, but except for an occasional chicken sandwich (perhaps 1 a year), I see no reason to darken Popeyes’ door.

The food is high as giraffe pussy and the service is lousy at every location I’ve stopped at.

Domino’s isn't any better.

I love how the fast food threads always start with a disclaimer about how the OP doesn't usually eat fast food but circumstances made it necessary this time or how they only purchased a fatty meal because they wanted a side of rice.
