I don’t consider supporting groups with anti-gay agendas as being Christian. Therefore I boycott them in support of my lesbian married co-worker. Do as you wish.

 I eat at places demonstrating many kinds of beliefs over a given year. 

 

Whatever....

 

 

I only eat at places that cater to my viewpoint. Bars which support losing, love all people, appreciate 63 yr old Vietnamese veterans like myself and especially if they also believe, like I do, that 6'2 ⅜" white cis men are the standard of society and serve to no one else but them and my Vietnamese self!

And if she walked into the place she'd get the same treatment as anyone else. But hey as you said, do as you wish.

One relative condemned the music of David Bowie because of his lifestyle, but insisted on seeing the Nutcracker Ballet every year.

 

i declined to point out the rank hyprocrisy, it is so hilarious the 2018 virtue signallers are ten times more superstitious than a 90 year old woman in the 1970s

CFA is good for fast food, but it's still fast food. Give it a few weeks and let the hype die down. One thing I will say is they are masters of serving you fast. I marvel at how fast I get my food. I was in Roanoke Rapids, NC on my way to Wilmington, NC and stopped for lunch. It was an absolute mob scene. Everyone driving on I-95 decided to get lunch at the same time. Usually I would leave but stuck around, and I had my food within 10 minutes. Mind you the line was out the door.

 

Get the Frozen Lemonade.

The fast food move to “just in time” inventory and cooking in the 90s led to huge delays.

 

a store should have a decent idea of customer demand in a given day and cook for this anticipated demand 

 

you might take a hit on occasion but quick service builds loyalty

 

Still hilarious to go to a WacD ten minutes north of Toronto, with 3 in line ahead of me and realize they are taking the order and cooking it for 2 at most at a time , while I stand and wait to even get my order taken

I’m reading that the Chic-Fil-A franchise is looking to expand more into Western, NY.  The first store opened in Cheektowaga a few weeks ago and last year in Rochester.  Both stores are making a killing as you can see by the huge-arse lines and the traffic.

 

They are trying to put another one in the Rochester area so that means Buffalo will likely follow.

 

Here’s my pitch....put it in New Era Stadium.  How sweet would it be to dine on chicken sandwiches and waffle fries in the stadium.  This is my dream.

 

Of course, with Russ Brandon out of the picture it might be possible.  He chose to hire all locally owned venues as food vendors.  

 

Lets my dream becomes a reality!

Dream big Phil, dream big.

You are aware that you are the first to bring up the religious issue. Give yourself a demerit. 

 

Were talking chickens here not which side of the church aisle you kneel in.

Honesty, I didn’t even know about the religious affiliation but I could care less.  It has nothing to do with the quality of the chicken product.  Chic-Fil-A is delicious.  Period

The issue was indirectly brought up when it was pointed out that his stores are closed on Sunday so his products wouldn't be sold at a NFL stadium on that day.

The reason is that it's hard getting anything cheap and fast done consistently well/right.

 

McDonalds thought it would be easy to just make their own version so they copied the sandwich.......ingredients and seasoning basically the same.........but they can't do it..  

 

Just not enough attention to detail in their process.

 

And chick-fil-a is like that with everything.

Fair enough but it's about every year this overrated place gets a thread and by page 1 it's ripped apart by someone crying about religion. 

 

Just once I'd like to see it bashed for being terrible.

The second one in Buffalo will also be built in Cheektowaga, at Transit and Losson. They went in front of the town board last week  to start the process.

That's my area...as far as the town board is concerned,they allow anybody and everybody to open up anything because they want the property/school.taxes.We have two topless bars here and one adult store (city line on walden) ...yet they claim we are a family friendly town.$ talks in NY state.

Funny thing bout chick fil a. Franchisees do not make a ton of money. Like a $150k a year. Weird , I would think like a $1m a year

 

 

Franchisees do not have to put up a lot of money so there is lower risk to them.

I know, because I installed them, that Burger King uses a system called Chef, that will tell them based on sales data, how much product needs to be cooked based on anticipated demand. Btw, burgers can sit for up to 90 minutes before they are supposed to be tossed. Spicy and Crispy chicken is only allowed 30 minutes.

My understanding of it, after watching a guy I knew in passing go through it, is that being a franchisee is a good gig- but that you really want to work to a point of store owner which is where the big bucks are.

 

The few times I've been to my local CFA, I've always seen the owner there, and he's always doing something, usually running food out to customers.

Yeah- It's definitely not what a lot of people think of when it comes to owning a business, but I believe they get the majority of their profit. No clue what percentages that looks like, but I assume its better than just being a a franchisee.

What those voters/consumers are saying is that other interests outweigh those interests.

Awesome.   Spread the word to others. 

 

The two lines are super long from open to close.      You aren’t missed 

[row_33]

Hope they offer free food to those threatening to burn down the store, and watch them cave

 

 

And accept the free good food and then go home 

 

or maybe get offered a job there and do something productive for the first time in years

You prove once again Liberals are the most intolerant and hateful group of people around. You are extremely ignorant and make no sense. Do some research before you just regurgitate talking points from CNN and other failing news networks.

Funny, but I don’t see Liberals trying to deny people the right to marry or serve in the military or restrict education and access to prevent pregnancies or decide what to do if they’re pregnant. You don’t even seem to know the policy positions of the people you are defending.

This is the rub. Who are you to determine what someone else's best interests are? Maybe their best interest is a chicken sandwich.

does not shock me you do not know how to read. as most people who claim "fake news" are dumb as rocks( as your boy DT so eloquently put it) ..where did I say Chk fil A does not gross a ton of money. Franchisees, however, do not...but obviously your ability to read and understand even simple concepts is too much to ask...You are Fake Intelligence!!!!!

They make one of the best breakfast burritos (chix or sausage) I’ve ever had from a fast food place—very substantial and filling, and also like their chix and cheese bfast bagel. Overall a bit pricier than the comp, but the employees seem to actually care and are friendlier than most too for similar establishments 

They have the biggest food checks in the fast food industry per person by a substantial margin

Why are the franchisees only making 150k ? 

 

I’d assume they make double that based on the lines and the catering.

pretty interesting business model...in essence, you do not own the store..they do. More operators than owners. But, they also pay for everything up front..and take HUGE cuts. 

 

You also do not "own" the store as stated above..so can't sell it either.
