Chick-fil-A announced Thursday morning that supporters who flocked to the restaurant for "Appreciation Day" propelled the company to a "record-setting day."
The statement confirmed anecdotal claims that the long lines seen at Chick-fil-A's across the country Wednesday fueled unprecedented sales. The turnout came after CEO Dan Cathy came under fire in some circles for his opposition to same-sex marriage.
"We are very grateful and humbled by the incredible turnout of loyal Chick-fil-A customers on August 1 at Chick-fil-A restaurants around the country. We congratulate local Chick-fil-A Owner/Operators and their team members for striving to serve each and every customer with genuine hospitality," the company said in a statement. "While we don't release exact sales numbers, we can confirm reports that it was a record-setting day."

Now it's a tossup between Chick-Fil-A and Whataburger. Whataburger is our favorite fast food burger chain in our part of the country (Texas). The question will be, Beef or Chicken?
I think we should make Friday a Chick-Fil-A support day #2.
We don’t have one close to me, neither do millions of Americans that may not have heard of Chick-Fil-A before all this. How many times has the name “Chick-Fil-A” been said in the media over the last week? Now people from all over the country know who they are - without spending a penny!
Brilliant!!! When people travel and see a Chick-Fil-A, they’ll know the name and stop for lunch. Of course there will be a few that will never eat there but I’ll bet that the net gain is far more.
New slogan for Chick-fil-A:
“We do econonomic stimulus right!”
He should make sure the gay marriage set understands the nuggets are from roosters married to each other.
I’m ready to appreciate the crap out of other companies that stand up for what they believe and don’t cave to political presures!
Meanwhile, back at the bat cave I’ve deleted Amazon.com from my files.
I rarely go to Hollyweird movies and I stopped using Google!
Oh, and I will never buy a Chevy,again! Well, maybe a classic Chevy.
Great news!!!
Anybody notice that Obama has been hiding under his bed over this.
A chicken chased Obama under his bed. LOL
It’s over, Obama...you failed, you’re done, pack your bags and get out of the People’s White House.
I could not make it yesterday either. But I am going tomorrow. And may be even more entertaining.
Yeah, anything pre- ... say, 1963 ... doesn't count. :-)
Want to start an argument on FR? Just ask which was better.... the '55, '56, '57, '58, or '60. :-)
Want to start an argument on FR? Just ask which was better.... the ‘55, ‘56, ‘57, ‘58, or ‘60. :-)
I would never...’55 :)
The locals did a pretty good job, though.
Differences viewers have seen and will see:
Many local TV and radio stations filmed/covered/mentioned yesterday's record-breaking turnout of Chick-fil-A supporters. Without exception, those pictures showed people having fun, waiting patiently in line, treating other customers and Chick-fil-A employees with cordiality and respect.
Whatever TV stations cover Chick-fil-A restaurants on Friday will see in-your-face provocateurs attempting to call attention to themselves with narcissistic displays of self-love while grossing out employees and other patrons.
“Its a mandate!

I will too....four times in a week.
TURNOUT EVERYONE . . .we won’t be intimidated by these losers
I think a whole bunch of them are quaking in fear,
because they know that we’re now aware of their agenda,
and are going to do something about it, in huge numbers.

PC or Mac?
