Popeyes chicken sandwich returned Nov. 3 and has already prompted a murder.
Tyrell Davis, 28, was stabbed for cutting the line of customers eagerly waiting to buy the sandwich on the night of Nov. 4.
The line of customers included 30-year-old alleged offender Ricoh McClain, CNN reporter Rebekah Riess said in her article.
Riess said that McClain confronted Davis and proceeded to stab him 15 seconds after Davis cut the line outside of the Oxon Hill Popeyes location in Maryland on the night of Nov. 4.
Although Popeyes’ sandwich has been proven to be a huge success for the company, Americans should boycott the sandwich due to its outrageous effects on people.
The Nov. 4 stabbing is not the only violent incident provoked by the sandwich.
During the first release of the chicken sandwich, a Texan man pulled a gun on Popeye employees after he was informed that they had run out of the sandwich.
Popeyes employees are the people most affected by the chaotic sandwich movement. The $4 sandwich has nearly cost workers’ their lives due to customers acting out in absurd ways.
Popeyes manager Wanda Lavender, a 38-year-old woman, told Vox reporter Alexia Campbell “People gotta understand that we’re going to run out of things. One guy yelled because we ran out of honey sauce. It was out of control. Another guy threatened to come back and shoot up the store.”
Some internet users have taken advantage of exhausted Popeyes employees to start a viral thread of memes.
One meme in particular pokes fun at an exhausted Popeyes worker sitting on a bench crouched over as she holds her face in the palms of her hands.
Because of the multiple threats and low wages Popeyes workers receive for dealing with endless lines of angered customers, Americans need to realize Popeyes’ simple four ingredient sandwich is not worth the chaos it has caused throughout the nation.
People should boycott the sandwich altogether and relieve Popeyes’ minimum wage earning workers of the stress caused by crazed customers.
