Chick-fil-A.....

18,403 14,761 September 4, 2014 at 05:54 AM
So the first CFA in the state opened up this morning. On the news, they said people were camping out for a good 36 hours.

I've been to CFA in another state before, but camping out?

Looks like Black Friday. One guy drove over 1000 miles to attend Confused




With that being said, gotta grab some lunch later Eat

Service has always been exceptional at the Chick-fil-As I've been to. It's nice to see smiling faces - much harder to find that at many fast food joints. But I don't call if it's crowded, and surely would never camp out. Crazy

Farthest out of the way I've gone for a meal was In-n-Out Burger. Summer 1987. I had just purchased my first car, and we didn't yet have In-n-Out Burger in San Diego, so I picked up a friend and we drove the ~70 miles to the closest one in Orange County.

Around here, even when they're all over town, the drive-thru lines are usually packed much of the day, and the parking lot's usually full...it's not bad, but I don't get why people are willing to wait nearly as long for "fast food" as it would take to eat a real meal...

Don't let that fool you. It's a coupon good for one meal a week.

In-n-Out doesn't freeze their beef, so they'll only have a restaurant within a day's trucking (~500 miles) from a distribution center. That's why they don't have them all over the place. Soon after they opened a distribution center in Dallas, they were all over that region. All locations are company-owned (no franchises), so that keeps a damper on growth.
