A Game Of Chicken
They just finished the Chick-fil-A on the corner of Sunset and Highland. It's the only Chick-fil-A around, and whenever I drive by I can see both drive-thrus are crowded, with the traffic backed up into the street. There's also plenty of foot traffic. Maybe things will calm down as people get used to the new franchise, but if it doesn't, will the city of Los Angeles do something about this state of affairs, where a side street will become permanently unnavigable?
At the drive-thru, not only do you talk to someone, you get to see her on a monitor. And she can see you. I'm not there for face time. After the order, she said something like "follow that white van in front of you to the window." Maybe that was showing off, but it felt Orwellian. They also ask for your name, but is there any chance for confusion? They can follow me and my car all the way, even with two drive-thrus going to one window.

They're probably tied into the city camera system, too. Soon enough she'll be saying, "You bastard, you go home and give that dog a real walk."
What gets me, though, is that even a Rhesus monkey knows how to get from the speaker to the window. What did she take you for?
"What did she take you for?"
Someone willing to wait in line to buy chemical chicken products
As someone who doesn't live in an area with Chick-fil-A's, I have always mispronounced the name and then chuckled at the thought of a deepfried tranny established
Yes, but wasn't it good? I've always thought they had the bet flavored fried chicken, better than KFC or Church's or even Popeye's (my second favorite). I wish they did actual fried chicken pieces, but I'm sure that doesn't fit their business model.
Verification Word: "medli" (of flavors)
It's an interesting business model. For instance, due to the morality of the owner, all Chick-fil-A's are closed on Sunday. You don't see that in too many franchises any more.
