Today is Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, an event semi-organized by Mike Huckabee in response to the Gay Mafia's attempt to browbeat a private citizen into silence, all because he stood up for something he believed in. Mumbles Menino and Rahmbo can kiss moral America's collective butt if the response in other Chick-fil-A restaurants is even remotely similar to what I saw just a few minutes ago at our local one. The place is being overwhelmed!! I told the manager why we were here and, after thanking us, he said that there was no way he could have prepared for such a massive influx of customers. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they ran out of food today.
The parking lot of the mall is really messed up because of the line at the drive up window.
OH NOES!! I’m waiting for lunch hour to go by..I’m buying for the whole family and a couple of gift cards! BUT, if everything is sold out today...THERE IS ALWAYS TOMORROW :)! We need to support CFA year round!! I love their southwest chicken salad with spicy and honey dressing...THIS IS THE BEST salad EVER!! Love it...yummy..mouth watering..I guess I’m hungry..can’t wait to go!!
The sodomites have a ‘Kiss-In’ scheduled for Friday...have they noticed what is going on here? Do they really want to throw their perversions right in the face of traditional American families? Not a good idea...
Passed a Chik-fil-A at about 7:20 this a.m. and it had a full parking lot and a line of cars - EAT MOR CHIKIN !
IIRC the "kiss-in" protests are scheduled for early evening. It would be a hoot if they got there and all the stores were closed because they had completely run out of food and merchandise.
I've never eaten there before -- but for a fast chicken sandwich, they're a notch above McD's. I'll go again. And again.
These pics are seven kinds of awesome, Freepers...they restore faith in my country...keep ‘em coming!
Good Grief! And there is no Chick Fil A around me so I can not even get in a line— I would have stood for hours to get one of their meals.
(I have been there many times when in Arizona. Love their food and service.)
Can you say KFC or Church’s Fried Chicken? Or maybe Popeye’s? To support Chick-Fil-A would be going against the clownmander-in-chief and would thus be racist. HUH? Probably go for lunch.

I’m in the same situation and general location as you.
Guess we’ll have to buy a couple of T-shirts.
Some good FReepers gave me this site to order:

A local Steak n Shake near me closed back a few years ago when the winds from Hurricane Ike rolled through and knocked out power regionally for nearly a week. A lot of folks were not prepared to fix meals without electricity so they piled in to all kinds of restuarants and unexpectedly ran out of inventory to serve.
And, it all happened over a chicken sandwich.
Life is full of surprises!
Same thing is happening with a denver cake shop that refused to make a wedding cake for a homosexual wedding:

LAKEWOOD, Colo. — A Lakewood gay couple may end up having a masterpiece of a wedding, but they won’t have a “Masterpiece” cake to go along with it.
Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, told the couple they have their sexual orientation to thank for that. It’s an event that occurred on the afternoon of July 19, and it’s sparking national attention, a petition and a boycott of the local bakery.
Phillips said it has also spiked a boom in his business, which he said has doubled since the incident.
It all started when Dave Mullins, 28, and Charlie Craig, 31, went into the Masterpiece Cakeshop hoping to get a rainbow-layered cake with teal and red frosting for their wedding reception, which will take place in Denver this October after their wedding in Provincetown, Mass., which is set for September.
Phillips informed the couple his business does not create cakes for gay weddings. Mullins took to his Facebook page.
Describing the ordeal as an “awkward, surreal, very brief encounter,” Mullins said he responded by directing an expletive and an obscene gesture at the owner of what he is calling a “homophobic cake shop.”
Phillips said he isn’t a homophobe, and that he would gladly serve any other baked good to a gay couple — just not a wedding cake.
“I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, so you could say this is a religious belief,” Phillips said. “I believe the Bible teaches that (homosexuality) is not an OK thing.”
The bakery is family owned and operated. Phillips said since 1993, it has turned away about a half dozen same sex weddings.
While this incident has brought about several death threats – the cake shop was forced to call the police Sunday – Phillips said the boom in publicity hasn’t hurt business. Just the opposite, in fact.
“(On Monday) we had about twice as much business as normal,” Phillips said. “There are people coming in to support us.”
Colorado law says it’s illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation in employment and housing. But when it comes to things like selling cakes, the law is less than clear. Either way, Phillips said he has legal representation if anyone attempts to challenge his right to refuse service to gay couples.
According to online reviews, this isn’t the first time Masterpiece Cakeshop has been discriminatory with its service to individuals besides homosexuals.
In a February 2010 post that began by calling the bakery a “Judgmental Conservative Service,” one CitySearch.com commenter said she and her fiance were “met by a friendly woman who quickly turned holy-roller judgmental when she found out we were doing a Halloween-themed wedding.”
After being refused service by the Lakewood bakery, Mullins said he and Craig went to the “gayest cake shop we could think of.” That was Le Bakery Sensual in Denver. He also said the outpouring out support that he and Craig have received from “around the world” has been “so reassuring.”
“It’s kind of one of those things that restores your faith in humanity,” Mullins said.
***Where are all the homosexuals on their Kiss-In?***
Typical queers. What starts as a protest always ends up as public exhibitionism.
Today's Woot shirt would be good.

OR: OOPS webpage cannot be Found.
When I finally got into one site and clicked on their LOCATIONS BUTTON, it came back with the Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.
What is going on?
Going today and Friday. Pass the word about Friday, get there first, block the Queers, and give CUT INs to friends.
Only news report I could find so far.
Chick-fil-A wrapped up on ‘appreciation day’
http://www.walb.com/story/19167264/chick-fil-a-wrapped-up-on-appreciation-day
[The restaurant on Dawson Road in Albany is swamped with customers who are stacked up at the walk up window, and vehicles are wrapped around the building in two drive-thru lines. The Chik-fil-a in North Valdosta is also seeing a brisk business. In Tifton, police are having to direct traffic around the store, which is on an already busy Highway 82.]
