I go a Chick FIL A near an area that is called the "War Zone" in Albuquerque on occasion. Everyone who works there speaks English as a second language. It's right near Kirtland AFB. It is clean, friendly, fast (food is often out to me before I can get my straw, napkins and Texas Pete's sauce), and the food tastes good. The Burger King right next to it is damn near empty every time I drive by. The Church's Chicken down the road is empty due to locked lobby because of the homeless problem. It's weird. Some restaurants have no problems dealing with the homeless causing problems and others can't get rid of them. These places are all within a city block or two of each other.
The Chick FIL A in my area put in two extra driveup lanes. They have workers outside with tablets who come up to your car to take your order. A little farther down the line a worker comes to your car to take your payment. For the amount of traffic going through, it’s very fast. The order is always correct, the food is hot and consistently good and the staff is neat, friendly and smiling. Couldn’t be better!
The worst place in town is Popeye’s. Last time I went, I was trapped in the driveup lane for over twenty minutes and when I got home found a couple items missing from the order. Never again...
Been to the “War Zone” in Albuquerque- weird combo of zombie addicts and FOB immigrants working hard to get out of there.
