Houston, we have a problem.

Or maybe it’s more like Popeyes has a problem.

Houston television stations reported a group of angry customers took extreme measures to get their hands on Popeyes hard-to-get chicken sandwiches on Monday night.

Two women and three men just wouldn’t take no for an answer when they were at the drive-through and were told the sandwiches had sold out. The group, which included a baby, rushed the door at the southeast Houston restaurant.

One man pulled a gun on an employee, demanding chicken sandwiches. The employee was able to lock the group out and called police.

No one was injured. It’s uncertain if anyone was apprehended.
