Discussion What is so great about Chick-fil-A???

I travel 100% for my job. I travel all over the USA. I have been all over the East coast, West coast, Southeast and Midwest and every Chick-Fil-A i pass is packed with cars, Cars lined up in the drive-thru. What is so great about this place? I have had it a few times and don't see what is so great that people line up to buy it.

There’s nothing great about it. When I was a teen they were only in malls in my area and they gave free samples. Anchoring the fast food at a mall food court and the samples gave them a compatible advantage but I’ve personally have never sought them out and whenever they build a new one in my city the traffic and customers are the absolute worst drivers. It ruins the neighborhood and I’m convinced a large part of the customer base is there to make some sort of political statement- since they are the same people who park large trucks in handicap spaces and stick 20 feet out and block all traffic and pedestrian visibility at every grocery store.
