The man sues Popeyes for running out of chicken sandwiches

A Tennessee man is suing Popeyes after he said he was unable to buy one of the chain's mega-popular chicken sandwiches.

Craig Barr's suit claims "false advertising" and "misleading business practices," NBC News reported. Barr claims $ 5000 damages.

Barr says he drove to various restaurant locations in search of the sandwich and was humiliated when his friends laughed at him. During the drive, the car received $ 1500 in wheel and tire damage, he said.

“Countless wasted time runs to and from Popeyes. No chicken sandwich. Was told to come back that day ̵[ads1]1; still no sandwich, "Barr said in his suit.

Popeye's Chicken Sandwich was a national sensation, which got long lines and a social media war with the chicken chain Chick-fil-A. Popeyes announced this week that the sandwiches were sold out nationally, but would come back soon.
