Why Chick-fil-a is the best Chain Restaurant Ever
In my opinion, no greater restaurant chain exists than Chick-fil-a. I don’t eat fast food barely at all, but if I do it’s Chick-fil-a.
They’ve probably asked you the same question at the drive-in: “How may I serve you?” Just look at that question and its contrast with “Can I take your order?” like you would experience at a Wendy’s or a Taco Bell.
I’ve always been greeted with a smile at Chick-fil-a and a readiness to refill my sweet tea. This kind of service is just unmatchable. This morning, I was running behind and grabbed a chicken biscuit from them and once again, they delivered their best and helped get my morning off to a better start. On my way to work, I started thinking about Chick-fil-a and Christianity. (as I often think about random connections while driving down the interstate).
I really want to serve those I come in contact with every day and be genuine about it. To greet them with a smile, look them in the eyes, and say their name. I want to genuinely seek to meet their needs whatever they might be. And it’s my hope that when I’m gone, a lasting mark would be made and they would know when they see me again, that I am one who seeks to serve.
S. Truett Cathy, you had it right.
Tim Hawkins wrote a song about his obsession:





Unfortunately, Chick Fil A is not a very vegetarian friendly place… but then, nw that I think about it, most fast food restaurants aren’t. Maybe that’s why I don’t eat fast food!
(It’s definitely not willpower.) It’s pretty interesting, though, to read about Truett Cathy’s business principals, how he founded the company, etc. And even though church goers are part of a huge restaurant bonus every week, it’s nice to know that chick fil a employees have the day off for church!
Also, Chick Fil A is one of the few chains that is not open on Sundays! I feel its important for workers to get off then.
