As the boycott gained steam, Primanti Bros. attempted some damage control. In a statement, the company claimed that Vance’s visit had caused “momentary confusion” and that the situation was quickly resolved.

Locations that had once been bustling with lunchtime patrons were eerily empty. Employees, who once balanced towers of fries and meat between slices of bread, were left twiddling their thumbs, waiting for customers who never came.
