Even if all 15,000 showed up (dubious proposition), that would be maybe 5% of what showed up on Wednesday (300k - anybody seen any real numbers on that?).

But they will lead the league in used condoms left on seats, public indecency, graffiti, and public nuisance arrests.

1,600 restaurants. @ average attendance of 500, 1,000, 2,000, total participants would be 800k, 1.6M, or 3.2M. The number is HUGE.

Went buy the CFA in Schaumburg, Il, at 7pm Wednesday. The line if cars was about a half mile long. The parking lots on either side, both double lots with pretty big stores, were both full of cars. The Best Buy lot across the street was full. And people were parking in a another lot farther down.

I used to work with the Jr High kids at my old church. We were running between 600-700 kids plus 100 leaders a week.

I'd estimate the crowd outside at 500-600

At 9 pm, the cars lined up was about 200 yards long. All the same lots were full, and I'd say the crowd outside was still 400-500.

Stretch this over 6am-10pm, even with some slow spots, I'd say this one store, 25 miles from Rahm Emanuels downtown Chicago, probably had 5000 people at it, throughout the day.

And thats just one store.

According to Wikipedia, there are 1614 Chick-Fil-A's in the US.

If every store just had 1000 people for the day, that would be 1.6 million

I went to the Schaumburg store at 2pm this afternoon, to offset any gay boycotting.

Didn't see one obvious gay person. No signs. No mischief.

The store was BUSY.

My personal opinion is that this week was obviously CFA's best week ever. I think sales will continue to be above average for awhile and then level off. I think CFA has probably gained some new long term customers because of this week.

I also think that anything that the gays/liberals do in opposition to this last week will further anger all those who showed up, and they will in turn return to CFA to show their support.

This could continue as a tit for tat thing, but the gays have to remember, they are only about 1% of the population. They have to have their entire population involved to be really noticed (except for MSM exposure), the normal population only needs a slight turnout to overpower them.
