Duly noted.
I had heard the stories that there was sauce rationing taking place at Chick-fil-A, but needed to know for myself. I was already feeling a bit peckish (Chicken? Peck? Get It?) when I decided to test the theory that if you tried, you can always get what you want. After all, I m pretty used to having a metric ton of ketchup packets added to every fast food order, so why would today be any different?

How wrong I was.
As I ordered my meal of Chickie Nuggies at a Lubbock Chick-fil-A location, I asked if I could have more Polynesian Sauce, which is the greatest sauce ever created. I decided to shoot hidden video of the encounter to record either proof of a sauce shortage or to debunk the myth.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Saucy sacrifices must be made.
Chick-fil-A, the mammoth fast food chain that has a presence at the Staten Island Mall, told customers this week they’ll have to cut back on dipping sauces due to supply shortages.
The eatery, which has 2,600 locations across the United States, will only allow one sauce per item, two per meal, and three per 30 nuggets, says the West Virginia-based media outlet WTRF.
In a statement, Chick-fil-A’s website on Wednesday read, “We are actively working to make adjustments to solve this issue quickly and apologize to our guests for any inconvenience.”
