Cheap fried chicken is a shared cultural good. Popeye's always had pretty good supply chain and chicken and stuff, and at pretty unbelievable prices. I googled the "daily deals" and looked only at image results which aren't updated like text on the main sites, and there's definitely been a creep from like $4 to $6.50 for the Thursday meal for example. That's more than %50 price inflation on a common "consumer meal" or whatever you wanna call it
