Woman Gives Birth In Chick-Fil-A Bathroom, Baby Gets Perks

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) — A baby girl is guaranteed food for life — and a job — after her mother gave birth in a Chick-fil-A bathroom.

Falon Griffin was having contractions when she and her husband stopped at the fast-food restaurant in San Antonio to drop off their daughters with a family friend. She had to use the bathroom, but the restaurant was closed.

The couple banged on the door. Store director Brenda Enriquez tells KSAT-TV she opened the door and Griffin was screaming. Enriquez grabbed some towels.

Husband Robert Griffin says he managed to unwrap the umbilical cord from the baby's neck and deliver Gracelyn Griffin.

Mom and baby are doing fine. The company says Gracelyn will have free Chick-fil-A for life and a job when she turns 14.

"conservative Christians" to care about a baby after it is born is to give birth in their bathroom.

I would have added healthcare, but the baby is a girl - which disqualifies her for it.

Her parents could not find a hospital. So the main room in the place was not good enough for a birth?? TEXAS go figure out this situation of not enough hospitals but FAST FOOD is right down the street.......I NEVER ATE THEIR FOOD NOR DO I PLAN ON BUYING ANY IN THE FUTURE.......

The father was able to unwrap the umbilical cord from the baby's neck. I'm not an OB, but if they hadn't been able to stop somewhere, isn't it possible that the baby could have died ?
