Chick-Fil-A to the Rescue

Chick-Fil-A Sent a Boat to Rescue a Couple from Houston's Flood
Out of ideas and desperate to evacuate, J.C. Spencer called Chick-Fil-A, and ordered the usual...plus a boat.

And by golly, the owner of the Chick-Fil-A sent out her husband and a boat to go rescue the couple. By pure chance, the Spencers called in breakfast at the same time one of the managers was checking in on the closed restaurant. He recognized the number on the caller ID, and then set the wheels in motion for their rescue. The Spencers were able to save some of their possessions and evacuate to higher ground with the help of a boat and a pair of jet skis

Great job to the owners of that Chick-Fil-A!

Speaking of Chick-Fil-A...I stopped at one today because I really wanted one of their frosted lemonades (they are VERY good). It wasn't Sunday and the lights were on so I pulled in and around to the drive-thru. Instead of asking what I wanted, the guy told me they were closed. Apparently they closed early today because it was labor day. I wasn't very happy....have I mentioned how awesome the frosted lemonades are?
 
Chick-fil-a got a raw deal awhile back when the left waged war on them over the same-sex marriage issue. They do a lot more for their employees and the community than most people realize.

And their food is awesome.

Their food is definitely above average for "fast food" but what puts them miles ahead of their competition is their employees. Specifically their screening process of job applicants. It doesn't matter which facility you visit they have consistently friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable employees which makes for a positive dining experience.

Yep, very true. It's amazing how different their customer service is compared to most other fast food places.

Yep. I also have to wonder if the knowledge that they will always have Sunday's off gives them an edge for the better employees as well. It seems they also take the hit of having higher staffing levels to ensure they can handle crowds when they hit rather than the bare minimum of employees.

Arby's is another fast food place I've found has pretty good employees and reasonable speed of service (though this can vary with franchise stores).

It might cost a little more at those places, but I'll pay a little more for my food to not wait 10 minutes for a simple burger to be made.

Wendy's and Burger King seem to be worst for service. I can't remember ever going to the Hiram BK or the Wendy's at Crossroads without having to wait ridiculously long for the food. (Though they take your money fast enough)
 
The McDonald's in Cleveland, GA is the absolute worse. 90% of the time they screw an order up.
