The Wicker Park location of national chain Wing Stop has been pulling the old bait-n-switch with their auto-windshield advertising — they’ve one-upped the standard menu-under-the-wipers route by designing their menus to eerily resemble official CPD parking tickets, notes Parking Ticket Geek. While some people are getting pissed at the restaurant (“I will never go to Wing Stop, simply because of my fake parking ticket,” said one disgruntled car owner), owner Mike Pirozzoli doesn’t seem to mourn the loss of their business. “People with a sense of humor love it,” he said. “The people mad at me are probably not coming in anyways.” [Parking Ticket Geek]
