yes and even a heathen like me answered the call.
I took 4 neighborhood kids at 2:30. We were hoping to miss the crowd...NO WAY! I had taken small patriotic toys to hand out to kids and their were very few who seemed upset by the wait.
Everyone was polite and happy, laughing and in good humor, staff and patrons! Less than 40 minutes from parking to receiving food.
After paying, I called a THANK YOU to all the cashiers and folks working so hard. They all stopped and waved or smiled!
The entire place broke into applause! It was a time to remember for all those kids!
AMERICA IS STRONG AND GOOD!
Who is this testicular-deprived jerk? As if I didn’t know.
Post your Chick-Fil-A after action reports HERE!
Pull a left tactic. If anyone was spat upon by left wing radicals report it here.
One thing here. Even with the muslim Marxist’s beliefs that he will be re-elected by a landslide....well, maybe the demon will, but this has cause for wondering.
Around 6:15 PM our son took his family of six over for dinner, and to support the restaurant. He couldn't even get close to getting in, so they had to settle for a totally lousy meal at the WalMart McDonald's, where they got lousy food and the order completely screwed up (not that there was any crowd there, or anything like that).
The line for the CFA drive up window went completely around the CFA parking lot, out the frontage road about 150 yards, across the main highway, and was backed up into the car-wash on the other side of that highway. Meanwhile, the line just to get into CFA and park was backed up all the way to the Interstate, about 1/2 mile. People were standing lined up outside completely around the building, just waiting to get in. Many, many (I think he said "hundreds") were just sitting around on the large grass areas outside either waiting or eating. The place was totally jammed, as our daughter said when she passed by earlier around 4:30.
It was such a happy mob scene, one would have thought the town had finally brought back public hangings for murderers, child molesters, horse thieves, and Liberals (but, I repeat myself)!
The Red lines represent cars queuing around the Chick-Fil-A. The Blue line represents the people physically waiting in line to go inside and order, and the yellow line is the Columbus Police-controlled traffic at a major intersection that was obviously clogging up opposing traffic when the left-turners encountered the static cars on the side street. Pretty amazing.
I would venture to say the occupants of those lines are 90%+ Obama Must Go voters, right?
We got to the Trooper, PA. Chik-Fil-A at about 12:30 and had to wait two cycles of the traffic light to make the lefthand turn into the shopping center. The drive-thru line wrapped around the building and the restaurant was packed, and they were a-hustlin’! I don’t think we waited more than ten minutes to place our order, and less than a minute to get our food. In spite of the heavy traffic, the place was immaculate and the staff was cheerful and happy to serve.
We parked a little way out from the restaurant near a huge semi - which turned out to be the resupplier: every couple of minutes, the manager sprinted out to the truck to get more supplies.
As we left, we were interviewed by a reporter from the local paper, and he seemed sort of stunned by the whole experience. I think he was nonplussed by the jolly atmosphere.
By the time we left, the lines inside had pretty much thinned out (a lot of the business crowd had to get back to work), but the drive-thru was still unabated.
Reports from friends on the road now indicate that the real surge may be happening tonight!
Glad to hear you did not shop JCP.
I am not giving them $1 since they eliminated my daughter’s job after 21 years as their premier Fashion Merchandiser (display and promotion) for the east coast of Florida.
That was in January before the months of gay and lesbian advertising. Now I would not go for 2 reasons!
What impressed me about Chick-fil-A was that they were ready. Probably no less than 50 employees at work all day. And they kept the dining areas clean and got orders out readily. While Obama is out there spouting, “you didn’t build this,” Chick-fil-A showed that with good management you can be ready for anything. Sure, I supported them today to tell the liberals to go flush themselves, but I ended up being really impressed with this food chain.
That’s one of the most awesome things I’ve heard today, and there has been a lot of AWESOME going on today! :)
I wasn’t aware that Wendy’s wasn’t serving all their customers, were you?
Idiotic response to the MSNBC “reporter” by the idiotic Wendy’s “employee”.
My intolerance for anything Liberal increases every single day, as well as my intolerance for the celebration of blind ignorance, make that enlightened stupidity...
Westside Albuquerque, NM
515pm- walked in, 535pm walked out. Long lines thru the doors and drive up. More people coming in on foot and in cars. People were in a good mood even though it was packed. The staff were courteous and on top of everything.
Who knew conservative values were so tasty?
Cost for a chicken meal -ten bucks ( i got extras)
Making a political statement- priceless.
You must have been the one I bought an extra sandwich for. =)
Walk in line out the back door circling all the way around to the front door. The line was getting longer when I left.
Half the Menu was crossed off because they ran out of certain food items. This was even before the Dinner rush. Ended up with Chicken Strips and a Peach Shake. Yum and yummy...
Everyone there was smiling and enjoying themselves. The crew behind the counter was doing great keeping up with the orders. Probably took about 10 minutes to order and had my food in a jiffy. The Wife isn't a big fan of their food, but she enjoyed it.
Just an observation. The Media spin is focused on the “gay rights’ angle, but most people there seemed focused on the Free Speech issue at hand. Had the idiot Democrat Politicians not jumped into the fray and threatened the Company, today's C-F-L Appreciation Day would have never occurred.
It would have been a tempest in a teapot, not a Volcanic Eruption of Citizens expressing their disapproval of our Fascist Masters.
You Rock!!!
You must have been the one I bought an extra sandwich for. =)
Thanks.:) I have another property in SC and its minutes away from a C-F-A.
Would have loved to join in Appreciation Day.
I’m guessing years from now people will say, “I was there”
:)
You’re welcome. Stop by that C-F-A when you have a chance.
Years from now, you can say you were there in New Mexico in spirit. :)
The drive-thru was busy as well with cars lined up well outside of the parking lot of the restaurant, at times reaching the main road.
Foothill Ranch CA was running out of food by the time I got there at 1:00pm, even though they ordered an extra TRUCKLOAD for the week. I asked a cop there “pretty busy day, for you, eh?”. “Not for me, I just sent two cars back to patrol duty, because it’s been so peaceful”. No rapes, no assaults, no OD’s, just ordinary folks behaving themselves. Be sure to tune into the MSM tonight, for a full report/S.
