One point that can't be debated "SEINFELD" SUCKED and while we're at it "FRIENDS"was the worst

Agree on Seinfeld. Friends too.

Friends created a lot of bad.

So many people never got a clue that to go to WORK, you have to actually leave the coffee shop.

Yes, tethering HC Benefits to our employment was a direct result of the Stabilization Act in the early 40s.  Efforts to fight inflation and encourage women and others into the workforce.

Capitalism always finds a way. We capped prices but left other avenues for competitive comp open, and there it was.

New Chick-fil-A ‘elevated drive-thru’ restaurant design coming to Atlanta. Here’s what it will look like (ajc.com)

No sit down, all drive thru or ordering ahead pickup.

Unpopular opinion: Chick-fil-A is a terrible chicken sandwich. Damp, soggy, and tasteless. 

[utee94]

Key to solving damp and soggy is to order without pickles, then they have to make it fresh. And because pickles are the devil, it makes the sandwich better anyway.

Tasteless?  Man, can't agree with you there.  The spicy Chik fil A is like crack to me.

They are insanely popular, around here anyway.  Every one I pass has a double line of cars waiting on takeout.  We have one in two blocks of us, I don't go very often, they are dine in only, and they have a line at lunch.  They got pretty expensive of late.

When I was a kid, that was an upscale treat, and they were only in malls.  I don't recall there being any outside ATL.

I don't get the hype.

Popeye’s > CFA

[GopherRock]

I've gotten spicier chicken from the hot case at Cub than the spicy stuff from Popeyes.

[FearlessF]

chic fil a hype?

Popeyes?

me either


I never go there

like other fast food

[Cincydawg]

I think CFA's main appeal is they are polite and clean.  The sandwich is OK (to me) and the waffle fries are pretty decent, but really, it's a pleasant experience, in my opinion.  They do something right.  When we're out, I notice the usual fast food places with 2-3 cars in the lot and one in the drive thru and the CFA across the street is slammed.  This was true in Cincy as well.

Maybe just a bad employee who slapped it together. The limited times I've had grub there it was decent bordering damn good
