What kind of a stupid ass name is Chik-fil-A for a restaurant?

[Ken Burch]

1. Whatever kind of name it is, it was all worth it for causing you to post that clip.

n/t.

[Aristus]

2. About as complex a name as the mouth-breathing idiots who eat there can handle...

n/t

[Dreamer Tatum]

3. Everyone who eats there is an idiot? nt

[Aristus]

4. Almost certainly not.

But the owner is a raging homophobe and a Trump supporter.

I would hope that intelligent people of good will would steer clear of the place...

[crazycatlady]

21. I'll admit to eating there from time to time

I will admit that homophobic chicken sandwiches are good.

I can't stand the owner's politics but the food is good. And I refer to their food as homophobic chicken.

5. From a branding standpoint, pretty good.

In business more than 50 years. More than 2,000 stores.

Thousands of businesses (current and now defunct) would kill for that kind of success behind a brand.

7. Posted just after you.

Clearly it's a name people remember.

[bluepen]

19. Yeah, it's as recognizable as any other fast food place

in the states in which they're located. Not sure why they don't expand outside the current areas. They'd smoke the other places there, too.

[milestogo]

10. I never heard of them till the anti-gay controversy a few years ago.

[bluepen]

16. My guess is that's due to your geographical location.

[Ilsa]

13. Always busy. At 10am they have customers.

They move their drive through line quickly by having double lines and people outside taking orders with iPads.

Peak times are crowded and are long. A money-maker.

[bluepen]

15. Yep. Their service is top-notch, no doubt.

Great waffle fries, too.

I cut way back on fast food but I go there once a month. Nice treat.

[Ilsa]

20. One of the high school teams was selling their calendar

ahead of the usual November sale the other day and I bought it. The card that comes with the calendar has a freebie every month. They sell out fast, too.

6. The kind that every single person over 10 knows and remembers.

A very brandable kind.

8. I mean, I hate what the restaurant itself does with the profits

But the actual name is fine.

9. That's pretty funny.

I don't eat chicken anymore, but they have some fantastic sandwiches, and the best service at any fast food place you'll ever visit.

I pass several of their restaurants on my daily travels...the line goes around the block at every one of them during peak times, so don't fool yourself any boycott is going to hurt them.

I'm gay, and also like I said, I don't eat chicken anymore. But if I did, I'd head right over. Best chicken sandwiches evah.

12. The food is very good, the service is excellent, everything is super clean

and it's kid and family oriented.

It's awful that the owner is a fundamentalist homophobe.

[hack89]

11. Stupid enough to make a shit ton of money.

Can you imagine !

[TheBlackAdder]

14. Stupid enough to be unique and available for Trademark. Chicken Filet isn't unique enough.

17. I don't eat there, but I'm told they're one of the few

fast food places that can reliably prepare a safe meal for a person with celiac disease.

[rockfordfile]

18. I don't care much for the name, but the food is crap

I remember trying it as a little kid years ago.
