These photos really don't do justice to the lines. Mind you, this was at 10:30 before the so-called 'lunch rush'.
Two block long line.
Line inside. The lines extended outside well past the parking lot into neighboring stores parking areas.
Runners taking orders from cars in line to try to speed up the process. They were also giving out drinks for those waiting in line.
Here are the ones I took @11:20am CST:
These were taken at Spring Texas. The Chick-Fil-A is in a plaza that has a Wal-Mart. We HAD to park IN WAL-MART'S LOT and walk!! Two lines for the drive thru wrapped around BOTH sides of the building:
Notice other people having to walk from Wal-Mart's lot through the drive-in cars to go inside:
Here's just a part of the folks waiting (we were standing in the "To-Go" area):
At more than one time durring our wait, I counted AT LEAST 12 people behind the counter and at least 6 floor people. They were ALL busy with some folks coming and going stocking the tea, lemonade, shake machine (which was why we were waiting!!)etc:
We dropped off the food at home and then went to Kroger (the next plaza north of Chick-Fil-A). We arrived at 11:55am CST. This plaza contains a Wendy's AND a McDonalds (right next to each other.) I have seen them both REALLY busy before, but today was "a little different". They were both VERY DEAD. This was Wendy's lot and Drive thru at right around 11:57:
..and this was McDonalds:
It was GREAT!!!
