In a now-deleted video on Wednesday (Aug. 17), Ross sat at a grand piano and put out a PSA full of motivation for all future bosses. “I want to take time to address something,” Ross began. “When you running a business, there will be mistakes, but as the Biggest Bawse, you don’t make the same mistakes twice, you see? Taking accountability is big when you the biggest, and remember this, most successful people don’t take stumbling as a setback but actually a stepping stone to greater things, you heard me? Let’s be great.”
The first-of-its-kind Wingstop chicken sandwich is priced at $5.49. The combo including sandwich, dip, fries, and a drink is $7.99.
