I don't eat chick-fil-A because of reasons but damn when I did they knew how to move lines fast. Also, the food is okay but it isn't as good as people make it out to me.
I tried it a few times when it came to my area after hearing people rave for years, and I feel the same. It's good, but that's it. On par with KFC.
Popeye's is way better in my opinion. It's also cheaper, and the staff tend to be pretty entertaining in an unintentional and chaotic way. It's the only fast food restaurant where employees are consistently very honest. Like, if they don't have red beans because somebody fucked them up, I have been told exactly that.
bigot chicken
Fuuuuuccccck Chikfila
You can see it in the photo, but it's always bothered me how my local chic fil a built a nice covered spot for their workers to work with heaters and fans for temperature control and then I basically never see the workers actually work there. They all seem to work at the very beginning of the line, never patient enough to just let cars move up to them.
Why build it that way if you never use it (or aren't allowed to)??
They go down the line during a rush to give the kitchen more time to prep orders.
And people in us say somethig about weather when talking about pedestrian infrastructure.
I don't know what those are, but I love standing in the rain and I hate getting wet. So that just looks incredibly nice
Yes but have you ever been stuck in a 1 foot square tent with yourself?
The in-person order taking is a much worse experience for the customer. Let me look at the damn menu board. It should not take any more time to prepare a meal than it takes for a car to progress from the order board to the window. I don’t see how them getting the order earlier (presumably the purpose of this) is helping in any way.
If you want chick fil a and value your time, the in store pickup is a much more efficient.
I used to work at chick-fil-a. Those things sucked. They were hot and smelled of body oder. It was hard to do anything in them.
Chick-fil-A minions*
As a non American: What are these people doing? Only time I've seen fast food personal outside around here is to empty the bins and pick up trash from the parking lot. Otherwise they are inside.
They take the orders on iPads 80% instead of having you drive up to the speaker.
I think they do this to keep the kitchen constantly moving instead of waiting for an order to get finished. Also a personal touch.
Also a personal touch.
if i ever want or need this from a fast food place please find me and shoot me
I’ve never actually “been” to Chick-Fil-A, not even when I didn’t know about their shitty beliefs. Popeyes was always more convenient and tastes great. Now that I know, I actively avoid CFA.
I have tasted it when other people bring it in for work or something, and I still don’t get the hype. It’s just ok and definitely not worth waiting in a long line for when there are so many other options.
Edit: I don’t know if these even exist anymore, but some Popeyes have/had a buffet. If you find one of these glorious chicken establishment unicorns, please take advantage of it. You won’t regret it.
I've read that the chicken Aldi sells in a red bag cooked in an air fryer is on par with CHICK-FIL-A. 🤷♂️
