Original Title: TIL A restaurant in Long Beach, CA, was found to be serving Popeye’s chicken and passing it off as their own. They would buy the chicken at Popeyes and upcharge for their own chicken and waffles dish. Once found out the owner refused to apologize.

    Yeap. It do be like that. I once worked for an “ISP” computer shop that re-sold NetZero dialup and de-badged eMachines. (No surprise the owner was an ex-con who has since done time again.)

    What if I told you most retail businesses - including restaurants - are just middlemen marking things up that you could buy cheaper elsewhere?

    Restaurants, in particular, are famously difficult to operate at a profit. So if your local chicken place isn’t way more expensive, and slower, and/or poor quality it’s probably because they take shortcuts. Very very few places are making things from scratch.
