If you're participating in Chick-Fil-A appreciation day, please take a moment to post your experiences today here!
I just drove in front of a Chick-Fil-A in Metairie, LA around 1 PM and the line was at least two blocks long. This was after the lunch rush. It may have been even longer than that, but the cars were bleeding out into a traffic lane, so it was hard to tell how far down the line actually went. But two blocks for sure. And the parking lot was also full.
Well CC, we know that you’re there with them in spirit, and that’s what counts!
Yep. I saw the comments on the local news FB page and had to make my own comments. The leftists are very stupid and miss the point so easily and willfully.
Parked in the China-mart parking lot and walked over.
Absolutely packed!!! Cars lined up down every roadway leading into the CF parking lot. Hundreds of people lined up inside and out.
The folks working there did a splendid job serving everyone.
Only 4 protesters. News chopper circling overhead, cameras crews interviewing folks in cars and such.
It was awesome.
My wife were planning to do lunch at CFA today. I just got a text from my daughter who is working at CFA in Aurora IL. She said don’t come now - it’s over an hour long wait!
I say - “eat mor chikin”
” At the intersection of 270 and 118 in Maryland and the place is packed!!!”
Was there about 11:30 this morning (drove up from Shady Grave) and it was already a madhouse.
I just returned from CF in San Diego on Sport Arena Drive. The store is located next to the Arena parking lot which is taking the overflow of parking and the drive thru. There must be 100+ cars waiting and even more people on foot outside the door. An independent news crew is on hand and a news helo overhead.
I stopped this morning in Gallatin, TN, for breakfast. Parking lot wasn’t bad (about 20 cars) but there was a dozen cars in the drive-thru behind me and I had to wait a minute for them to clear so I could get out. No CFA close to work, so I’ll be stopping again tonight for supper. AND I’m going again on Gay Day (Friday).

I will be going to Chick fil A later today to laugh at liberals as they pass by.
Midlothian, VA CFA has a packed house. sent a freind there for breakfast then we went to the store on Forest Hill Ave in Richmond, VA for lunch. The parking lot was filled to capacity as well as the chian restaurant next door, they were walking to CFA and the Target lot was full. The people were outside the doors, waiting to get in. THe staff was great and smiling.... 3 officers were in line in front of me, they joked about traffic control in the parking lot. Way to go, we support you Mr. Cathy, we love CFA and America.
Monroeville, PA Chick Fil-A report: Arrived 12:15. Decided to park a block away and walk over so I could talk with people. Line was out the door, everyone super nice and polite. Drive-through into the adjoining parking lots. I talked to a wonderful woman in her 70’s that heard about it from a friend, and she noticed how many people were talking about hearing about this from email or facebook. I believe I was able to convince her to come to a Tea Party event, which had much of the same atmosphere. There were people wearing shirts that said “Keep God In This City” sprinkled in the crowd. Most of these folks were black, by the way (interesting only from a political demographic). Old and young, some military. Service was fast, efficient and the food was great. BIG FREAKIN’ WIN!
they have good tea too
usually I like making my own
We've been conditioned to be afraid to comment!
THIS THREAD RENEWED MY FAITH IN MAN! LOVE IT!
Niceville,FL I went to the local CFA intending to go through the drive-thru. There was a line circling the building just to get to the drive-thru. I could see the indise was packed and there were long lines of people waiting to order. I saw lots of military people coming out and my first thought was, “I wonder what this says about DADT?”
JCP has been dead for a while.
Ours is empty all the time and especially since the latest renovation which shrunk the number of cashier desks. They cut the shoe sales staff as well. Now they just keep a ton of boxes on the floor like TJ Maxx. I went there last week for school uniform shorts for my son because I can usually find his size easily and Izod fits well. They had eliminated the private school uniform area completely. You can only buy online and even then, they have restricted the sizes and colors.
Old Navy got my business this year and I was sure to tell several other mom’s.
Buh bye JCP
Are you talking about the Midlothian, VA CFA at Westchester Commons by chance? That’s the one I will be stopping at after we have our Anniversary dinner at a restaurant in the Commons.
Unfortunately; we have located a queer Chick-fil-A...Nashua, New Hampshire. I cringe to think about what that one is going to be like on Friday. Ick.
Today - it was packed in three parking lots, and the drive through line was around the building and into the back parking lot.
The crowds inside - not a table to be had, and 7-10 deep on each of the five cash stations. One poor employee didn't know what was going on, and was befuddled when I tried to explain.
She also said that it was chaos and mayhem this morning on the breakfast rush, and they weren't slack the entire day.
The best part, however, was the true diversity. Plenty of culture present, and as polite as can be.
I love free speech in living action.
