The Popeyes' chicken sandwich frenzy has gone from amusing to bleak.

When the fast food chain announced the return of the coveted menu item, customers were unsurprisingly stoked. But no one could've imagined that the re-release would lead to so much violence. In the days since the chicken sandwich was reintroduced, we've received reports of fights breaking out at Popeyes locations across the country, the most severe of which resulted in a fatal stabbing. But despite the tragedy, the physical altercations have continued.

A video recently obtained by TMZ show Popeyes employees throwing hands behind the counter. The footage was reportedly taken in a Los Angeles location, where one of the crew members was heard screaming, "You fucking hit me, bitch!" The video begins after the altercation had begun, but the person behind the camera told TMZ that it all began after one of the employees was busted selling chicken sandwiches out the back door.

Following the Monday fatal stabbing, a Popeyes representative said the company has no intention of pulling the chicken sandwich from its menu, describing the murder as "a tragedy."

"We are saddened to hear about this senseless act of violence," the spokesperson said. "We, along with the franchisee, are fully cooperating with local authorities and actively working to gather more information."

That chicken sandwich must be good if people are fighting for it and setting up little grey markets for them.

Or it's just ok, and people are idiots who fall for marketing campaigns and hype, and then said hype becomes its own feedback loop, with others figuring that it must be good if there's so much fuss about it.

I still haven't gotten around to having one. Maybe once the hype dies down a bit.

Why do people even care about this sandwich

Did it feature in a Rick and Morty episode or something?

I'm glad I'm not one of the complete morons who actually went out and waited to get some mediocre fast food chicken sandwich because of the hype.

What's funny is that I dont even think it was brilliant marketing. The internet pretty much took off with it without popeyes really doing much of anything at all. It started really because a bunch of woke people wanted to stick it to chick fil a.

No. Popeye's isn't that good as a whole. Their food isn't terrible, but nothing to fight over, spend hours in line, or to get as much attention as it does

holy shit I don't think I can eyeroll enough. But also, I see no evidence of what you're talking about at all so it makes me think you have some preconceived notions about this that other people weren't even considering

Im sure it's a good sandwich but as i said in another topic the only food is wait hours for would be amazing BBQ. The kind of place that closes when they sell out for the day.

Not really.

I had one and dont get me wrong, it was a good chicken sandwich, but it certainly wasnt good enough to wait in a long line to buy one. I dont think that is happening everywhere though. When I got one the Popeyes didnt seem any busier than usual

I live in New Windsor, NY. The last time I drove past the Popeye's on route 32 around midday on Friday, the line for the drive thru was out the parking lot and several cars into the right lane of a route that was 2 Lanes on each side.
