    But why?

    It would take longer to drive there sit in that line and then drive home than it would take to just make chicken for yourself. Add some pickle juice to your chicken seasoning and it’ll taste just like Chick-fil-A. Then you could have delicious chicken at home without all of the Christian hate, er, love.

      I was reading the chic fil a guys biography in a thrift store other day. It opens with how he was going to give a guy a free car, but recorded the “you get a car” message at the end of 3 consecutive cassette tapes of Christian preacher sermons. Presumably, that’s, what, between 3 and 6 hours worth of church to have a chance to catch the message that you get a free car?

      Then the guy didn’t listen to them all the way through so didn’t get a car.

      The guy was essentially orphaned from an abusive home and walked hours to work every day. The chic fil a guy was like “what an unfortunate story!”

      motherfucker you tricked him like some kind of goblin

      Plus it’s not just about total time between “I want food” and “Nom nom”. There’s also the matter of how usable that time is. On a good day it might only take me a few minutes longer to get fast food, but all of that time is spent behind the wheel and most of it is spent driving. Making a sandwich at home, on the other hand, only about a minute is spent actively handling food. The other seventeen minutes while the patty cooks are free; I can it spend doing anything I please. So instead of comparing twenty minutes for fast food vs. eighteen minutes for DIY, it’s really more like twenty minutes vs. one minute.

        Chick-fil-a chicken is fried. You really shouldn’t be off doing something else in your home while you’re frying anything.

            I have an air fryer but it doesn’t really fry things. Not in the way an actual fryer does. All an air fryer is, is a convection oven.

              well my experience is that it works just as well, and is much more convenient.

              just dip stuff in egg and panko then toss it into the air fryer, yeah sure whatever it’s not technically frying but it tastes good so i don’t give a shit.

                Well I’m glad you like it. But for everyone else who wants actually fried food I think they’re stick with fryers lol

      Cfa moves fast. That’s probably only a 10 min wait. If that was a mcdonald’s or burger king it would be an hour wait.

      Unfortunately no. They serve Limited menu, you’d be through that line in 10 minutes or so
