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.

You are forgetting the sauce. Basically the main attraction.

So popular they were among the first major fast food chains to sell their sauce in grocery stores.

Might have even started that trend.

Marzetti produces and distributes it. CFA gets a royalty for every bottle.

The bottle says 100% of the royalties Chick-fil-A gets for the sauce bottles goes to team member education initiatives.

And it does, but the fact they push it through Christian focused colleges and degrees is never brougt up. Chick fila makes good food, but they also push an extremely far right agenda, so much so, that it almost takes away from how good their food is.

Not what I saw. One scholarship you could use on anything. The other was limited but the list looked my like a for profit college manual rather than a super conservative one.
