The company’s greatest asset to this infrequent customer (there simply aren’t very many locations up here in the Northeast) is that its employees are very polite and friendly. That’s a refreshing departure from what you typically find in fast-food joints.
True, Chikfila is the only restuarant i’ve been too where the employees are consistently friendly and courteous and the facilities are clean. This is because they hire mostly Christians, often recruiting teens from local churches. On the flip side, the worst restaurants I’ve been to had tattooed, blue haired liberal freaks working in them. Often with masters degrees in pottery or beatnik poetry and complaining about how they are so much better than the crap hole they are working in. As far as I am concerned, the liberal twits earned exactly what life has given them... in the immortal words of Will Ferrell in the new Get Hard Movie -
Kevin Hart’s character: “if life gives you dick, make dick-ade”
Will Ferrell’s character: “but dick-ade doesn’t sound like much of an improvement over dick”
During the winter, wasn’t it a Chick-Fil-A manager who stayed open during a major snow storm and went from car to car stuck on the road offering them some food and hot coffee free of charge.
They opened several in CT over the last year, including one near me about a month ago. Every day the place is packed both the parking lot and drive thru. Go figure.
