EAST RIDGE, Tenn. A Tennessee man is suing Popeyes over the countless time wasted unsuccessfully trying to score the wildly popular crispy chicken sandwich that sold out earlier this week, WTVC reports.

Craig Barr, of East Ridge, identified in Hamilton County court documents, accused the company of false advertising, deceptive business practices by entity to public.

He went on to describe his alleged hardships: countless time wasted driving to and from Popeyes. No chicken sandwich. Was told to come back this day still no sandwich.

According to WTVC, Barr added that he was hustled after responding to an ad on Craigslist from someone claiming to know an employee who could hide away sandwiches for those willing to pay extra, then exchange them for $24. Barr says he paid the person, but never got his sandwich.

Barr added in the complaint that he damaged his tire and rim while trying to track down the elusive sandwich, and suffered emotional damage after being humiliated by his friends.

I cant get happy; I have this sandwich on my mind. I cant think straight, Barr told the Times Free Press. It just consumes you.

The sandwich drew long lines at Popeyes locations across the country after a social media spat with competitor Chick-fil-A caught the attention of chicken lovers.

The paper reports that Barr owns a company in the automobile industry and believes that Popeyes should be held to account for not meeting the hype they helped create.

Its totally deceptive. Who runs out of chicken? Its a big fiasco. Someone has to stand up to big corporate, Barr said.

Barr is asking for $5,000 in damages.

Popeyes did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

You should track this guy down and sell him this sandwich for $50, then just not give it to him when he gives you the money.

I would rather track him down and eat it in front of him and act like it was way better than it actually was.

I think it's great, hope he gets something out of it. They deserve it, this artificial scarcity as a marketing tactic is just bullshit, even if people shouldn't be eating at trashy fast food joints in general. It's the principle of the thing.

At what point do you say to yourself, okay, Popeyes is sold out, I'll go to one of dozens of other places to get a chicken sandwich or, better yet, make my own?

Thats not the point.
