Chicken is one of God's most humble yet arguably most delicious gifts to mankind. Grilled, fried, or tendered, chicken brings people together around the dinner table, in the backyard for a barbecue, or in line at Raising Cane's, Popeye's, or Chik-fil-A.
Let's be honest: Chik-fil-A is the best eatery on GCU's campus (unless you are a vegetarian). Apparently, almost every other Lope agrees with me because no matter when I walk through those beautiful doors on Lopes Way, I run into a line. This seems to be the case at Chik-fil-A's across America; who knew chicken could be so popular? Here are the seven stages of eating at Chik-fil-A, as told by your favorite Dunder Mifflincrew.
1. When you first walk into Chik-fil-A, and you see the line backed all the way to Timbuktu.
I think there is a hired mob that gets paid to swarm Chik-fil-A everyday. Except for Sundays, of course.
2. When it's 15 minutes later, and you have not even made a dent in the line.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, even if it means being late to class because of my Chicken Sandwich and lemonade.
3. When you finally make eye contact with a cashier, and they ask if you are ready to order.
Because who actually knows what they want when they get to the front of the line, right?
4. When you say thank you and they say "My pleasure."
Come on, you know you only eat at Chik-fil-A to hear those two magical words. I know I do. But also, Chik-fil-A Sauce.
5. When you have to wait even longer until they call your name with your food.
Is chicken even worth this long of a wait? You could have eaten Panda Express and regretted it all in the same amount of time you have been standing in line.
6. But then they call your name and hold the holy grail of all fast food bags high in the air.
You will never see me power-walk as fast as I do to get to my white paper bag with that beautiful red logo in the midst of a crowd.
7. When you bite into your chicken, and you realize that all of the waiting was worth it.
There is no doubt that you would totally hop back in the line again because Chik-fil-A is the best and deserves all of your money.
Can any fast-food joint top Chik-fil-A? I mean, even if they are closed on Sundays, Chik-fil-A still beats McDonald's six out of seven days of the week. What is your favorite Chik-fil-A staple? Do you crave waffle fries on a spiritual level? Are you a lemonade person or a sweet-tea person, or do you get crazy and mix them together for an Arnold Palmer? Comment below!
