Popeyes does not pull chicken sandwich despite murder and mayhem

Popeyes & # 39; wildly popular chicken sandwich will remain on menus across the country, despite the chaos it causes in several places … including a deadly stabbing.

A rep for the fried chicken fast food chain tells TMZ that the sandwich is still available … which means it is not being pulled in the wake of widespread chaos erupting across the country since returning to the menu this week.

As we have reported … matches have erupted all over the place while customers are heading to Popeyes in droves to wait in long lines for a taste of chicken sandwich, and an altercation in Prince George & # 39; s County, Maryland, left a 28-year-old dead Monday from a puncture injury.

A spokesman for Popeyes tells us that the Maryland incident "is a tragedy, and we are saddened to hear about this senseless act of violence," adds … "We, along with the franchisee, cooperate fully with local authorities and jobs actively ing for more information. "

Some other violent incidents include a rolling kitchen claw in Edgewood, Maryland (above) … and a fucking stroke in Ellenton, Florida (below ). But there are many, many more examples on the web.

The chicken chain says that the safety of employees and customers is always a priority, and franchisees have worked to increase staffing during this mania to be ready to serve guests quickly and safe.

It adds that most Popeyes restaurants are franchised and "additional on-site security issues are handled by the franchisees."

So, there you go – Popeye's customers can expect long lines and potential battles to continue … because the delicious chicken sandwich comes nowhere.
