Whoa! Want to talk about price gouging?

I’m at a truck stop in Alabama. I go in to get something hot to eat. It’s late and Popeyes Chicken is only thing open. I’m hungry, so I order a 4pcs chicken dinner and 2 sides! I about passed out when she said that’ll be $21+. I said how much & she replied $21+!

No wonder business are closing! Soon, no one is going to be able to afford to buy anything!

Thanks Donnie and your wagon riding minions!

They’ll never see me at another Popeyes Chicken restaurant ever again! That is ridiculous to say the least!

1. For that price, you should have gotten four whole chickens!

[RPM]

3. And some dry white toast.

8. I see what you kids did there! LOL

[LogDog75]

2. I went to Burger King

and a Whopper without cheese, large fries, and large soda cost 417+.

4. Rotisserie Chicken at Costco... $4.99

Never forget: Inflation really means “wages and benefits”".)

[RainCaster]

5. That's the whole damn chicken!

It's a great deal, IMO.

[BurnDoubt]

9. Yep! Two meals, two sandwiches and a pot of soup.

6. I go to KFC for their Tuesday special ...

8 pieces of chicken, 2 large sides and 4.biscuits for $21
I think that's expensive, but it's the best deal of the store.
So you can imagine how expensive.everything else is.

15. Don't forget that for that price

It is all dark chicken. You can get just the chicken or anemic tenders for $10 on their own on Tuesdays.

[aggiesal]

16. I have not seen anything about only chicken for $10. I'll check next time I go, thanks. I've never ordered tenders. n/t

[usedtobedemgurl]

17. I wrote them about the miniscule size of their tenders

And they gave me a partial refund. I do not care for dark meat, so I have not gotten their dark bucket. www.fastfoodpost.com/kfc-brings-back-10-tuesdays that link talks about the deals. Then, a few months ago, you could get the basic $10 deal or do the deal you talked about. For me, not eating dark meat, I can just order four breasts for $13. Just as much meat. Not as cheap but I am happy and can get it any day of the week.

I hope you enjoy.

7. Sounds like Switzerland.

10 years ago in Bassel, Burger King was advertising their whopper deal, cheese whopper with fries and drink and it was 22 Euro then. Haven't checked since then.

12. Swiss prices are off the charts generally

Ten years ago a medium sized coffee mocha cost SFr. 8 (about $9 at the time) at a Zürich Starbucks.

14. I'll let you know. I'm flying into Zurich tomorrow night.

[Bettie]

18. Cool....most exotic place I've been recently

is Iowa City.

Haven't even been to Des Moines recently!

Zurich sounds MUCH better.

[Old Crank]

19. That would be nice.

I haven't stopped in Switzerland in a few years. Only on trains in Zurich on the way to Italy.

We need to get there again since we have 2 sets of friends in der Schweiz.

10. Let me guess... Was it a TA truck stop?

I find those are usually high priced anyway. Also high priced roadside restaurants are found on toll road service areas.

Also I find a lot of TAs have a significant amount of their parking set up for paid parking.

11. What is TA?

13. Travel Centers of America

Big chain, like Love's or Sapp Brothers.
