So let me get this straight...the patrons had a sit-in because there was no more free chicken left?

Reminds me of a certain CSM that used to say "No free fried chicken"

Nobody will ever go broke if he underestimates the gullibility of the American public. I wonder if he wants some chicken to go with his whine.
