My Shoutout To My Local Chick-Fil-A

SXMGirl — Sun, 11 Feb 2018 15:00:25 GMT

I know that there are people who never eat there. However, once again, our local one is giving back to the community.

Every month, the owner of the franchise has special days where he gives away a free entree. Usually a Tuesday or Thursday is senior citizens day. Also, if you take your dog(s) through the drive-thru, they get a free doggie box.

This week, he has give-aways for every day for Valentine's week.

There is a Chick-Fil-A near my art classes in the next state and when I asked for a doggie box, the manager looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. I had both Darcy and Happy with me and they got a small dog biscuit between them.

Our community supports our local one because he supports our community so well.

I've never eaten there because the nearest restaurant is over 100 miles away.

My Starbucks drive-thru line USED to hand out dog biscuits.

There was a large glass container w/ biscuits.

One day it wasn’t there...and I asked the barista why.

’It’s against Health Code’.

An Einstein Bros bagel shop (chain deli) had the exact same thing.

Doggie bagels at the register....but not anymore.

Who knows, maybe Texas is just cracking down on

non-human foods in restaurants.

Thank you, Texas.

Creeped me out thinking a kid could’ve eaten one of those things.

As for the special ‘Doggie Box’ at that particular Chick-fil-a?

Maybe the puzzled response will set forth the motions to

standardize & audit all the CFA franchises in the area and

doggie stuff won’t be available in the future.

Wow, you have a very involved Chick-fil-A by you. I can see why people would want to go there. I love Chick-Fil-A but was sad when they discontinued the Carrot salad.

@SXMGirl@What is in the doggie box?I think that is smart business knowing how much we all love our pets.

The only thing I have ever purchased there was their diet lemonade. It is so good, I get cravings for it.

I do make lemonade at home from scratch like Chick.Fil-A does, but it is more convienent to go there. Now I want some and it’s Sunday...they’re closed!

@dex, the doggie box has several pieces of the nuggets.

I also want to add that we have two get-together luncheons each year at my local YMCA. Chick-Fil-A caters it, brings it to us, and adds a free dessert for everyone. They even provide vegetarian wraps (not sure if that is on the regular menu).

I LOVE Chick-fil-A! We try to support them anytime we can.

They run a tight ship.

Clean, well organized, pleasant staff.

I appreciate that they are involved in the community and give back.

@piperbay- and the cole slaw. WHAT were they thinking when they discontinued both of those.

I'm not a huge cole slaw lover, because I don't like mayonnaise, but theirs was great. I bought it every year to serve at both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

@sidsmom I take it as you’re not a fan of dogs. Many banks in my area give doggie treats at the drive up window. I think it is quite common for many businesses to do this.

I don’t understand the Health Code issue as pet treats are not contaminated. Many bakeries sell dog biscuits and they are right next to the human cookies.

I know dogs are not permitted to go into eating establishments, unless they are guide dogs, etc, but dog food products are not dirty or harmful to humans. Most dog biscuits are plant based...no meat in them.

I occasionally dry sweet potatoes to give my dogs for a treat, and my grandkids will eat them before the dogs get a chance.

@SXMGirl I can see why you love Chick-fil-A!We have one that recently opened.I don't think they are giving anything away because right now they are so busy that they are causing constant traffic backups.

I haven't felt like getting into the fray but will try as soon as the lines get shorter ...what do you think is your favourite must have from the menu.

@gidgetgh

I agree! Their cole slaw was delish!

@dex, I am not really a chicken eater, but I like the spicy chicken sandwich and their sweet tea. I also like their vanilla milkshake but try to stay away from that. My friend likes their cool wrap (too much bread for me), and we both like their market salad. I hear that their lemonade is excellent.

Darcy and Happy like the nuggets, so I generally get the 8 or 12 piece and I might have a few.

Even when I get the free entree of my choice, I always pick up something else. Also, on free entree days, it is packed, but the staff is always very friendly.

@piperbay, I didn't know Chick-Fil-A discontinued a carrot salad, didn't know they had one.

Did you mean their coleslaw? I know that was discontinued. In fact, CFA posted their recipe for people that love it; thought that was nice.

mememe, Chick Fill A is a great organization. Their employee are well trained . Extremely courtieous never rude.They care about their customers. I believe in the saying "the cust is always right" They follow that 100%.

@piperbay I loved their carrot and raisin salad. I was so disappointed when they quit having it. I ordered it every time I would go there.

@dex love the market salad with ranch avocado dressing. Good luck with business calming down. The store near me has been open for 3 years and always a line outside. Must say the line does move fast.
