Chick-Fil-A for lunch - The Firearms Forum

bamajoey · 08-01-2012, 01:26 PM

The little wife and I just finished our Chick-Fil-A lunch. The place was packed. Went through the drive thru because the line to get into the dining room was out the door and half way around the building.

Makes me think obama and the pervert crowd are the best salesmen in the US. obama sells guns and the pervs sell chicken.

jedwil · 08-01-2012, 01:31 PM

Good on ya'. Wish we had one here for me to support..............

Dennis C · 08-01-2012, 01:51 PM

Chick-Fil-A is awesome, to bad the nearest one is in Sioux City, IA which is about 100 miles away from me

Gabob · 08-01-2012, 03:09 PM

Our grandson sent an e-mail that he was unable to eat lunch at Chik-Fil-A because the line was so long he could not wait on his lunch hour

Appliancedude · 08-01-2012, 03:18 PM

closest one to me is about 6hrs away. Too bad. I heard a Wendys in one town was putting out an add saying they stood with chick-fil-a and that they recommended them for lunch today. Don't remember which town that was though

aandabooks · 08-01-2012, 03:31 PM

Don't have one near me. I would definately eat there if they were closer. Any place tat supports Christian values is good with me.

firefighter1635 · 08-01-2012, 04:54 PM

I was going to stop at one today for lunch but the line was HUGE! Instead I drove by, honked and hollered "God Bless Chick-Fil-A" out my window. Everyone standing outside started hootin and hollerin and pumpin there fists in the air.

Made me feel good to see people with values mass together.

skullfr · 08-01-2012, 04:58 PM

Ours is so packed they had to bring in cops for traffic control.I support Wendys as Dave Thomas has always supported good causes and they make a good product.One for the good guys.

ponycar17 · 08-01-2012, 05:06 PM

I got to work this morning and some coworkers had brought in the little Chick-fil-A breakfast minis for everyone on our hall. Mmmmm, good!!!! I then went out at lunch to get some nuggets and waited in line for quite a while. By the time I left with my food the line was wayyyyy out the door almost to the entrance at the road. My wife's work bought all of her office Chick-fil-A sandwiches for lunch.

Here's a camera phone pic of the line I witnessed where I went for lunch.

ampaterry · 08-01-2012, 06:19 PM

Kinda shows that campaigns like this DO work, huh?

GREAT stories, guys!!

CJ_56 · 08-01-2012, 06:27 PM

I had the family ready to head to Chick-fil-A for dinner when a friend posted photos of the line there. We wouldn't have got to eat until about noon tomorrow. The line was truly incredible so we decided to put it off.

Just for the record we also got photos of signs at McDonalds, KFC and Wendy's all supporting Chick-fil-A. McDonalds dared people to boycott them.

I'm really glad the Godfather and his cronies shot their mouths off because they just increased turnout of the Tea Party for the election by a huge margin. We should all send them thank you emails. Talk about the chicken coming home to roost.

76Highboy · 08-01-2012, 06:33 PM

This entire post makes my day. I did not know we had a Chick-Fil-A in Boise, but we will go there on Saturday and we will be regular customers from here out. We are supporters of Wendy's too.

jlloyd73 · 08-01-2012, 06:45 PM

I took the whole family there today and it was great as always.

The place was packed but it looked like the owner pulled all his employees in to work (him and his wife were there as well). The line was all the way out he door for foot traffic and all the way down the street for the drive thru......but they rolled us out like it was nothing. They even had about 5 or 6 employees just getting customers refills or whatever they needed in the dining room.

I am glad this backfired on the "Lefties".....it gives me hope for our country.

Wow, that does shed alot of hope. One thing is the liberal media tries to stomp out the conservative views but it seems that the conservatives are starting to get a gut full.

One Shot · 08-01-2012, 07:42 PM

Grand kids went earlier today. Wife and I are heading there in a few minutes.

Very satisfying.

And the food is good too.

gvw3 · 08-01-2012, 07:44 PM

I wish we had one up here.

BlackEagle · 08-01-2012, 07:47 PM

That's great news. Glad to see it happening so well.

Wish we had one here. The closest is about 3000 miles away!!

skullfr · 08-01-2012, 07:47 PM

great to see so much support.

Yes it certainly is. It looks like the silent majority is about to stop being so silent. Good.

berto64 · 08-01-2012, 08:12 PM

Hey Highboy! I think the one in Boise is the only one in Idyho and it's on the BSU campus.

Hey Chic-Fil A! We eat chicken in Idaho too, not just potatoes.

Get yer azz in gear and multiply in Idaho!

I had to settle for the Colonel in Caldwell.

savage170 · 08-01-2012, 08:16 PM

It was a 2 1/2 hour wait at out local one first time i've seen the target lot full people was parking there and walking a block

I agree Berto. WE need more restaurants like this and it would surely help if others spoke out like Chick-Fil-A did.

Gun Geezer · 08-01-2012, 09:43 PM

Can't wait to get back to FL. so I can get some chic-Fil-A. The wife and I don't eat fast-food much, but we will make exceptions for one that supports our values!

One Shot · 08-01-2012, 10:04 PM

Got in line at 7:00. Got in the door at 8:00 and we heard they were starting to run out of chicken. Most people stayed in line anyway. They still had the chicken sandwich so we got ours about 8:30. Well worth the wait.

I may go there again on Friday since that is when the progessives are going to protest outside the Chick fil a here in town.

rosierita · 08-01-2012, 10:37 PM

pony ~ the one in lexington was CLOSED when we got there around 7, they had already sold out of food!

our lexington chick-fil-a is ALWAYS VERY BUSY, they are very much used to crowds.

(& there were police directing traffic there earlier, i think.

since we couldnt get our supper at the lexington 1, we went to harbison & there was a major traffic jam, we werent even sure where the drive through line ended, so we could get in line.

so we had to wait for a parking spot & went inside... they were selling out of food while we were there.

ETA ~ there are supposed to be protests on friday, in case y'all didnt know. (or maybe i'm the only 1 that didn't? LOL!) so, we're going back on friday.
