Not only are they running out of food, the racks are being emptied of gift cards. It's not even 11:30am yet.

I drove past the one closest to me. I was going to go in I thought, until I saw the line of people snaking around the building. And the drive thru lane encircled the building - AND - there was a l-o-n-g line of cars waiting to get into the drive thru lane and or parking lot.

Because of time constraints, I couldn’t wait that long so went to another place down the street. When I drove past again on way back, the same conditions were still in play.

This is what November 6th is going to look like, except that all these people will be going to the polls before they stop by Chick-Fil-A.

[Marcella]

I am sitting here at home eating my CFA nuggets and Fed EX just came to my door and delivered my Chick-fil-A stainless steel water bottle I ordered. I am sooo Chick-Fil-A today!

Found this on the Net...." « Colorado Murderer Makes Bizarre Court Appearance | Main | Iran Pledges To Deploy Warships In Atlantic » Gay Muppets Sever Ties With Chick-fil-A

HOLLYWOOD (BHN) - The Jim Henson Company announced it is severing all ties with Chick-fil-A after that company's president made the shocking admission that the fast-food giant was "guilty as charged" of supporting "the Biblical definition of the family unit."

In a statement explaining their break with Chick-fil-A, the puppet company justified the move by pointing out that CEO Lisa Henson is an avid supporter of Godless, immoral lifestyles, gay marriage, and "pretty much anything unbiblical." The statement also said that monies received from Chick-fil-A will be given to "GLAAD" (an advocacy group for the gender/sexuality-confused and/or sexually immoral).

My comments: Yeah, I really want the money I spend on my children's toys to fund Godless sodomites and mentally deranged sexual deviates - NOT. Put the Muppets on Bravo with the rest of the perverted freaks!

As a grand mother, I was unaware even the Muppets were pushing gay marriage..........

My daughter just started her CFA shift at 11:30am. I hope she’s REAL tired from too much business today.

“Overwhelming” is right. I tried to get Chick-fil-A for lunch today in northern Cincinnati, and I couldn’t even get into the parking lot. The line of cars was out of the parking lot, along the service drive, all the way to the main road. Traffic coming in from both sides was backed up. I was trying to turn left, but after three cycles of the light, I had to give up and grab lunch elsewhere. Maybe I’ll get a shake tonight, IF they have any food left (and that’s a big “if,” based on what I saw today). Another poster mentioned a stainless-steel water bottle being available online. I could sure use one of those!

Finally, one of the local news outlet is covering it:

Chick-fil-A fans show support in western Pa.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Another report from the “Non Bible Belt”...here in the “Rust Belt” (east of Pittsburgh) the Hempfield Plaza CFA (WalMart Plaza, US Rt30) was PACKED and the adjoining WalMart/Bed Bath Beyond parking lots were packed...no spaces. CFA patrons lined up out the door. Will try to visit later to $how my support!

[jdub]

tried to go to the store in Cookeville, TN, but the line was 200 yards long (cars) in both directions.

[texas_mrs]

Just got back from the mall in Early, Texas. The Chick-fil-A has no drive in window. The parking lot looked like Christmas! I mean PACKED! I only have an hour for lunch & drove 17 miles to get there, but I had to take a few pics inside. The store was packed, there were tables set up OUTSIDE the store in the mall and the line was standing outside the store a good 80 to 100 ft. I talked to the last girl in the line. She had 2 little ones and a baby in a stroller. She said she just broke her toe at the gym & it hurt like heck, but she had to be there and that it was time for us ALL to take a stand! AWESOME!! :)

Dateline 1 August 20 and 12. Arlington, Tx, southwestern sector.

Arrived early at 11:10am. The CFA lot was full and parking spilled over into The Rooms Store's lot (they don't need any spaces), and I found one. So, you see 12 rows of parking with approximately 20 spaces long, with only a couple open before the regular lunch crowd shows up in about an hour. My estimate of the crowd inside and lined up outside and in the drive thru was approximately 850-1000 well before noon.

A feller called for a round of applause inside and the crowd fervently obliged. Blushing from the staff was noted. BTW, they handled the extraordinary volume tremendously-- with good cheer and remarkably orderly and speedy delivery of the orders. Staff was running round with utmost urgency; they have had stellar training and mgt! The eager patrons were also affable and not bothered by the delays or lack of seating/parking. During college I worked at Chili's and on a good Friday night we'd sell $30k worth of food and alcohol. I bet this store beats that today with ease. And pleasure.

The drive thru queue is shown here at about the mid point, around 40-50 cars in line backed up onto the access road.

An outside-the-store shot taken on the move so it's a little blurry. Note Arlington's finest outside directing traffic...was a small show of force outside the restaurant, but it was low key.

Alas, I encountered no protesters and this was my only regret, and which I found a little queer.

Some pics taken inside but they didn't turn out very well/not posting unless there is some kind of uproar.

For inquiring minds: I had a Deluxe Chicken Sandwich with Cheese and Cole Slaw with Double Fries and a Peach Shake topped off with whip cream and a cherry...

[Ronald_Magnus]

All these reports are getting me stoked to drive the 300 miles to Boise to buy a sandwich.

Eh,.. maybe not.

[manc]

just got back with the family and it was amazing.
Three cops to deal with traffic, line wrapped around the building, people were polite, everyone talking in good spirits and laughing.

Line for the drive through went around the building, down the road, and half way into the homo depot parking lot.

AMAZING, now contrast that to a lefty nut protest, with swearing, name calling, hate, bigotry etc.

[TankerKC]

There’s at least an hour wait at the Chick-fil-a near the sports arena in San Diego.

[Leep]

I thought it would be funny if C-F-A only had their drive through window open on the ‘kiss in’ day.
It would really take the punch out of the gays tasteless gawdy disrespectful public display.

[I see my hands]

[nascarnation]

The opening story on the 4pm news here in Indianapolis was reports from 4 Chick-Fil-A restaurants that were overwhelmed with customers.

What was most interesting to me was that they interviewed a significant number of black people who were supporting the “biblical view of marriage”.

I think Baraq, Axlegrease, and Plouffy have stepped in the dogsh!t.

[dragnet2]

Just grabbed this off the Internet.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- This is the day that's been designated by supporters of the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain as an "appreciation day" to show that they are behind CEO Dan Cathy who was criticized for saying he opposes gay marriage.

Report from Plano, Txas—Collin Creek Mall store: I hadn’t been there before but found the nearest location on the net.

I waited until 2 PM to be out of the lunch rush.

A police cruiser was in the street directing traffic. The line of cars at the drive through was two cars wide and all the way around the store. At least 20+ cars.

It’s 109 degrees here so no one was in line outside, but I could see through the windows that every space available was filled with standing customers.

I was with my 92 y.o. mother and didn’t think we could fight those crowds so we didn’t stay. But I will return to show support.

All these crowds of concerned citizens demonstrate that the silent majority will ACT in support of our America if they are just given direction and leadership

[boatbums]

I did my part to thank them today. Original chicken sandwich and TWO peach milkshakes - one for me and one for Mom! The store in Matthews, NC (near Charlotte) was PACKED inside and out. I’d like to see an Appreciate Chick-Fil-A Day EVERY Wednesday ‘til election day.
