Actually from my understanding all of the first 100 get a free meal each week for the year.

Why has chick-fil-a become so popular?
- Thread starter Skai
- Start date
However they hire their workers, it's miles above the next fast food place. You feel welcome there and even respected.
Ah, yes. Because being courteous, welcoming, and nice are creepy.
How can I learn to be as cool and edgy as you? I need lessons!
Right. I really don't know how they do it.
I also noticed they hire seniors and mentally disabled (I'm not sure if this is the correct term) people unlike other restaurants I've been too.
Despite their CEO being a shitbag, the food is amazing, the service is fast and friendly, and it's clean. The workers do seem to be happier too.
The best fast food is Whataburger BTW. I like Chick-Fil-A though, although if I'm being honest the Whataburger honey butter biscuits are the best chicken sandwich anythings.
So, I think that if you like fast food, it is top tier. The lemonade is tart and excellent, and the waffle fries are awesome, and Polynesian sauce is the best non-ranch dipping sauce there is. That's all before the chicken part.
My thing is that I cut out fast food and then ate Chik-Fil-A after a long while, and it all tasted like salt. Can't eat there anymore even if I wanted to.
I make my own chicken sandwiches out of boneless chicken thighs or chicken tenders and it tastes much better. Get the panko-to-flour ratio right and season things properly (cayenne, smoked paprika, garlic powder, etc.), and it's pretty easy to make your own chicken sandwich that is tastier, cheaper, and better tasting.
But yeah, if you have neither the time nor the inclination to do that, CFA is good. I mean, their owners are human garbage, but the food is high-end for fast food.

Nah, that would be Chicken Express and Layne's. But Chick-Fil-A is really good. People who don't get it probably haven't tried it.
It helps that the food is pretty good, but the real reason is that their restaurants are exceptionally well run and staffed with competent employees. I wonder how long it will take other chains to figure this out.
Yeah, I honestly never get treated that nicely at other fast food places. It use to catch me off guard as I was use to the general antisocialness of being in a city.
people really like their chicken sandwiches I guess, it's weird. They opened one near me in ct and there was lines of people waiting outside. Isn't chick-fil-a the place where the ceo or someone like that said some really homophobic shit?
I gonna say this - the local owners don't usually have the same conservative bent as the previous CEO. Also, they've moved away from that focus that they previously had. This is a pretty good story on how they have changed:

Edit: people seem to be missing this - the old CEO stepped down and a younger one took his place, modernizing a lot of their organization with a direct edict to engage all beliefs and people. Yes, the organization still had it's conservative roots, but they are trying from the top down. Disclaimer: I was one of those who boycotted originally until the CEO changed and they stopped supporting anti-gay organizations ... And they did that.

They just opened one up here, and during the soft opening they kicked a woman out for breastfeeding. They threatened to call the cops but what she was doing was protected in our century code lol.
Anyway, I wanted to try it for years but I can't fuck with giving money to 'phobes. I highly doubt it's better than Popeye's.

Yeah when I have my fry craving I try to go there for the grilled chicken sandwich and a side of waffle fries.
I mean I wish 5 Guys had been around when I was young enough to pull it off, but here we are.
We have 1 Whataburger in my general area and its pretty bad. Sad because I always hear it talked up elsewhere.

I had their chicken nuggets once. Terrible. Very small pieces. Barely any chicken meat. Soggy crust. Even McDonald's chicken nuggets are better.
People seem to like their sauces as they have quite a large selection.

we could use more chick-fil-a in the bay area. there's only 3 of them, down near Sunnyvale and Freemont. None around SF, Berkeley or Oakland.
I'm willing to look past some of their past displays of shitty values so I can have access to some wonderful chicken sandwiches.

It taste good. Most fast food chicken places don't taste good(aside from Popeyes). Which is also always packed
It's a legitimately tasty fried chicken sandwich and like in n out its consistency and quality are enough to give it a faithful following. Like in n out it's overrated not because it doesn't deserve success but because of hyperbolic exaggeration by its adherents.
I don't eat there anymore but it was always good for fast food and they were always quick and nice. The quick part needs to be emphasized too, because if you look at 3-4 fast food joints all in a row, the CFA will pretty much always have the most people and get them in and out the fastest anyway. They have that figured out.
After watching them have 10 people outside taking orders at a location near me well into December, all bundled up, I wonder why.
Popeye's is not nearly as good as CFA. Especially the spicy chicken sandwich.
I just got off my shift. 6 hours felt like 12. We couldn't get out of the red. The line is still wrapped around the parking lot. I dont understand it either.
The absolute lockdown CFA got over the next competitor in breakfast is crazy
In just the one area(i'll say 2-3 square miles) serving breakfast
McDonald's
Burger King
Taco Bell
Milo's
Bojangles
Chick-fil-a
I'd say CFA has 20 customers to every 5 of the following 3 companies combined
