Eat mor chikin...as long as it's not on sunday.



 
It was an unsuspecting sunday afternoon when one miss J craves a chick-fil-a.  We venture out on the windiest day, well...ever, only to be disappointed by this American franchise! Oh Chick-fil-A how dare you tease us with your tasty chicken treats and Polynesian sauce on the holy day.  We were forced to settled for KFC! (and a hard taco for miss L)  This fails in comparison. Miss J and I shared a "chicken snackers meal" only to find out that it was a roll with a lot of shredded brownish green iceberg lettuce and two chicken balls...yes balls. They were the size of a Whopper (the delicious chocolate malt treat, not the artery clogger from Burger King.)!  We left defeated, dirty, and still hungry.  I'm am disappointed, not only by the KFC snackers, but by the idea that Sunday is not a day for chikin.



Here's a little history on the companies religious background:

"Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy is a devout Southern Baptist who has taught Sunday School for over 44 years and whose religious beliefs permeate the company to this day. The company's official statement of corporate purpose says that the business exists "to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us and to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A." The chain invests heavily in community services (especially for children and teenagers) and scholarships. Cathy's beliefs are also responsible for one of the chain's distinctive features: All Chick-fil-A locations (company-owned and franchised, whether in a mall or freestanding) are closed on Sundays."


“Our decision to close on Sunday was our way of honoring God and directing our attention to things more important than our business. If it took seven days to make a living with a restaurant, then we needed to be in some other line of work. Through the years, I have never wavered from that position."
—S. Truett Cathy
