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.

      From the article:

      The restaurant’s troubles started after a customer allegedly saw Sweet Dixie employees carrying Popeyes boxes into the kitchen.

          That would be maybe even more damning. The employees of a fried chicken place getting their own food from across the street would send me running from that place.

      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.
