Weekly threads about Cane’s being expensive is just getting old


You know what’s cool about threads on these boards?

You are allowed to bypass threads you find old and tired. Weird I know.

So what do you think about the overall insane prices of grocery store items as well? Just not eat that either?


I buy them. And if I go to the store thinking “maybe I’ll do scallops this week” and scallops are more than I feel like paying for, I pivot and buy something else instead.

Also, comparing buying groceries and buying Raising Canes is comparing apples and oranges.

Folks love to throw these small time restaurants at Cane's as if it's some comparison when it truly isn't. Totally different world.
Oh shite, I'm in Fort Worth and I can run by Cane's...your Chicken Shack? Nah.
I'm in Colorado Springs....Cane's? Hell yes. Your Chicken Shack? Nah.
Hawaii?? Did you say Hawaii? Cane's? Oh hell yeah. Your Chicken Shack? Again....nah.
Abu fricking Dhabi? Lmao....you know the answer already.

I bet Chicken Shack jacks up their prices big time when that Galleria Mall Abu Dhabi location opens. Y'all are beyond funny with your comparisons. You missed your opportunity to bitch about the lemonade prices. I'm positive some kid in your neighborhood has a lemonade stand sells them for 50 cents.


The frick are you babbling about?

You're on a message board that revolves around a university located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. You're going to get some local Baton Rouge references from time to time. I promise it won't kill you.

But to put a finer point on it: my attempt at adding context was for the purpose of showing that this isn't a purely inflation based issue, though I'm the first to rail on inflation being out of control. Chicken Shack likely pays more for their chicken and sells it for less.

The difference, as you pointed out in your (albeit misguided) post is that Raising Canes is an empire built to make Todd one of the richest people on the planet. Anyone pretending as though year after year after year after year of Canes price increases isn't primarily to line Todd's pockets is either a fool, eaten up by politics, or both.

Go frick yourself. You're shitting on a company that has done nothing but good for Louisiana regardless of how rich it's made Todd. It's made many employees well off, too. It's given jobs to an enormous amount of people across the world...not just the nation. They also provide a slew of benefits whereas your small time restaurants don't. That shite isn't cheap or free. If you're going to shite on a hometown company then expect some push back from people that still like them and support them by purchasing their product.

I'm not shitting on them. I'm pointing out that Todd is getting rich off of people who are willing to overpay for chicken and exclusively blaming inflation is silly. You appear to be one of those people who are willing to overpay for chicken, so I get why this might strike a nerve

When i started at lsu in 2003 the box was $5 even i believe with tax and the snack was $4. That was their thing, making the price with tax come out to a round number

I don't feel I'm overpaying. Nor do I have a problem with them raising their prices when needed. My response was to your crying post about having to buy elsewhere because you're poor and you're mad at Todd for being rich. Exactly how it reads...sorry dude. You folks love to trash success. Enjoy your Chicken Shack.

So a 3 finger doesn’t come with toast anymore? Or is that an extra toast at the bottom?

Those prices are ridiculous. 10-15% increase. They’re far outpacing the prices of other similar restaurants

You can always tell when they've lost the argument. Later Joshy...thanks for the win. Again, enjoy your Chicken Shack. You'll think of me every time you order from them now.
