A Tennessee man who is furious with Popeyes over a dearth of their popular chicken sandwiches has taken action and filed a lawsuit against the fast food chain.

Craig Barr of Chattanooga is seeking $5,000 in damages as part of the lawsuit filed in Hamilton County General Sessions Court. Barr claims the chain is practicing false advertising and deceptive business practices.

He says he went through an ordeal, claiming he was hustled out of $25 by a man on Craigslist who told him he could get sandwiches that a restaurant was hiding, suffered damage to his rims and tires driving from store to store in search of the sandwich, and was humiliated by friends who laughed at his fruitless efforts, according to the Times Free Press.

The disgruntled customer’s beef with the company comes after a nationwide rollout of the sandwich went unexpectedly viral, leading to the store running out at many locations and sending chicken lovers on a quest for the ever-elusive food item.

Barr’s suit claims the advertising led him to waste “countless time driving” to chains around the Chattanooga area.

“I can't get happy; I have this sandwich on my mind. I can't think straight,” he said. “It just consumes you.”

Barr thinks that the chicken joint purposely ran a shortage of the sandwiches to increase hype around the Chick-fil-A competitor’s newest product.

“It's totally deceptive. Who runs out of chicken? It's a big fiasco. Someone has to stand up to big corporate,” Barr fumed. “Everyone is captivated by these sandwiches. They've got everyone gassed up on them.”

Barr said he blew a tire on his car and cracked a $1,500 rim searching for the meal. He also alleged that he contacted a man on Craigslist who was peddling the sandwiches. The two met behind a Popeyes for the tradeoff, $5 for the sandwich and $20 for the assistance. He said the man took his money but disappeared inside the store, never to be seen again.

“I got scammed,” Barr said.

The chicken sandwiches, which were released at select locations on Aug. 12, exploded in popularity after tweets exchanged between Popeyes and Chick-fil-A went viral on Aug. 19, sending deluges of customers on pilgrimages to stores nationwide.
