It started out as a bit of a play on 1st Amendment auditing videos. This saga took on a life of it’s own…
Finally getting a chance to see Alex working hard with dignity and the right sort of pride at his Chick Fil-A in Garner today was quite a blessing. Meeting Miss Gena was even more of one! :)
He was bound and determined to move heaven and earth to live up to S Truett Cathy's dictum of "my pleasure". He succeeded better than one could have ever imagined... :)
No Lord's Bird on Sundays! :( Thank God it's *MONDAY*! ;)
The Traverse somehow engaged stealth mode on mobile and ended up with an unexpected sweet tea! :)
My fastest time through a Chick Fil-A queue ever just occurred at the Mos Eisley location and it was during dinner time no less! 90 seconds from entering the queue to having the food aboard and leaving. 90 seconds!
I was going to give the new Mos Eisley Chick Fil-A a couple of weeks to get their feet under them before trying the drive-through. Yeah, that plan worked a treat. ;)
There was no way I was going to visit the new Chick Fil-A in front of the Mos Eisley Wal-Mart. A special trainer imported from Fuquay-Varina convinced me otherwise! :)
Being at a bit of loose ends after retrieving Julia's van from the garage, I thought I'd pop through the Chick Fil-A at Brier Creek to get a bit of nosh prior to doing a bit of airport therapy at the RDU observation park. Brier Creek has long been the definitive standard of efficient service with arguably the most intelligently designed drive-through in the area. You can do the traditional route with the order takers…
It has been quite a while since I've done a Chick-Fil-Audit thanks primarily to Chick-Fil-A no longer making with the free bird when the Hurricanes win a home game which they did quite a bit of in the previous season and this year looks like they're continuing that positive trend. I can't really blame Chick-Fil-A for doing so as the resulting queues the following day made their already notoriously industry longest queues through the drive-through…
It feels kind of weird going through the Chick Fil-A bereft of free bird thanks to the Carolina Hurricanes home win promotion (which I wholeheartedly hope stays in play this coming season!). But after a chilly trip to the Knightdale YMCA pool with Katie and Alex and Katie actually having some free bird on her app today, we are visiting the Knightdale location that inspired the Chick Fil-Audits series of posts with a 37 minute…
A quick run to Clayton and it's time to head through the White Oak Chick Fil-A so Katie and I can redeem our free sandwiches thanks to the Hurricanes winning at home at PNC Arena! Katie needed to make a quick run into Target for a birthday gift which is why we were approaching the conga line from that direction rather than the more usual approach from the main entrance near McDonald's. The reason for…
After celebrating Nicholas' birthday at Tupelo Honey in the Village District, we ducked through the drive-through at the Chick Fil-A just down the way to redeem our free bird courtesy of another Carolina Hurricanes win! This location is one of the more unusual designs I've ever seen. The building itself looks normal enough but it's the drive through queue that has this weird look like the building was previously a bank. Here we go! 2031…
Katie and I visit the Garner store on Timber Drive at US-70 to redeem our free sandwiches from the Hurricanes win in Game 2. I'd already visited Chick Fil-A with Julia earlier in the day but this excursion is after school and a trip to Sam's to get some materials for tacos that Katie had requested for dinner this evening. I know, I know...tacos on Cinco de Mayo. Gringo move! But she asked for them…
Julia was my co-pilot for this trip through the queues at White Oak for her free Lord's Bird thanks to the Hurricanes taking a 2-nil lead in their series with the Boston Bruins. I'll have a more standard Chick Fil-Audit for later in the day but now it's a quick trip to redeem her free sandwich and then get her back home so she can rest. 1136 - Mobile order placed via the app for…
Decisions, decisions! Which way will I go to redeem the free Chick Fil-A sandwich courtesy of the Hurricanes winning another game at home? The two nearest choices from the house are Knightdale which is decidedly closer but the queue and the bird are usually abominable or the store on Capital Blvd in front of Sam's which is much farther away but the experience is usually much better. Seeing as I'd like to be back before…
A quick run to Clayton with Katie and Alex after school and a free Chick Fil-A sandwich in the app thanks to the Hurricanes means I'm going to take my chances with the White Oak location's drive through which has usually been more miss than hit through the years. Is it the lady or the tiger? Let's find out! :) 1453 - Order placed via the mobile app. 1509 - Arrive at White Oak to…
Katie had a late lacrosse match at the Athens Drive HS stadium against Cardinal Gibbons where Katie made her debut in goal and will be just as happy to not do that again anytime soon! She's never really been a fan of the position when she played football and apparently lacrosse isn't much more enjoyable between the pipes for her but she held her hand up when the team asked for volunteers and was rewarded…
You know the drill...another Carolina Hurricanes home win, another free Chick Fil-A sandwich complete with a run through the conga line! That makes their home record 25-5-4 through the end of March and I think I've only missed two of the free sandwiches...one from not being able to muster the energy to endure the queue and the other I forgot to log into the app by midnight. Time to do some maths, shall we? The…
So here's the quandary: after a long day that included a trip to Fayetteville and back whilst the kids were at school, do I really feel like enduring the queues for the free Chick Fil-A chicken sandwich thanks to the Hurricanes winning at home on Saturday night? The initial answer was the strongest refusal known to the language of diplomacy..."we shall make every endeavour but some things just may not not be possible". That'd be…
Last night, the Hurricanes got a bit of revenge upon the Seattle Kraken and kind of spoiled long-time TV play-by-play voice of the Carolina Hurricanes John Forslund's return to PNC Arena with a 3-2 victory in regulation. And you know what that means? Yet another free chicken sandwich from Chick-Fil-A assuming they unlock the promotion in a timely fashion so that you have until midnight to open up the app and claim the reward. Mind…
After briefly wondering if I was going to be at ground zero of the poultry insurrection at the Sam's Club, my next mission once I was free of their big box confines was to go for some of the Lord's Bird at the Chick Fil-A just across the car parks near Capital Blvd. Certainly the Carolina Hurricanes have been doing their part to encourage these trips to Chick Fil-A (probably much to Chick-Fil-A's chagrin) by…
