In one situation, events turned tragic. A fight over cutting in line at a Popeyes location in the Prince George’s County suburbs of Washington D.C. ended with a person being stabbed and dying of his injuries, according to local TV station Fox 5 DC.

Prince George’s County police said two men were waiting in line at an Oxon Hill Popeyes on Monday night when one of the men accused the other of cutting in front of him in a line specifically for ordering chicken sandwiches. The fight spilled outside where one of the men stabbed the other, according to police.

Police said the 28-year-old male victim was taken to hospital where he died less than a hour later.
