Original Title: TIL A restaurant in Long Beach, CA, was found to be serving Popeye’s chicken and passing it off as their own. They would buy the chicken at Popeyes and upcharge for their own chicken and waffles dish. Once found out the owner refused to apologize.

    I mean if they keep getting from the same place, or even area, people are going to catch on. They’d presumably be getting a lot of chicken weekly, if not daily and probably sent the same person to pick it up every time.

      From the article she had a deal with Popeyes and got a bunch of chicken twice a day. It’s capitalism baby. I don’t think she did anything more wrong than Panera bread microwaving soup from a bag.
