I drove past the new chick-fil-a at cameron village and there is a sea of tents outside. My only thought is that people are that excited about a chick-fil-a opening up that they're willing to camp out for it. I'd say I saw close to 100 (4) person tents. To me its funny to me that:

1) Chick-fil-a is cooler about camp out than nc state
and
2) more people care about chick-fil-a than occupy raleigh.

First 100 get free food for a year. Also I can't wait to eat at a 2 story chick fil a

one of my gay friends refuses to stop eating chik-fil-a on the grounds that the food is too delicious to boycott.

2/29/2012 8:45:30 PM

It weirds me out that there's some people that travel the country to new Chick-fil-a openings to get the free coupons.

2/29/2012 8:49:33 PM

those tents are packed in, stretching the length of the entire chick-fil-a (rite aide) parking lot.

2/29/2012 8:56:27 PM

They were talking about this on Stern today, and all those Yankees were like "WTF is Chick-fil-A?"

2/29/2012 9:14:48 PM

WWCFD?

2/29/2012 9:15:51 PM

It's like a free sandwich a week or a day or something. It's well worth nothing to camp out for. But we've already seen the fanaticism of these idiots on black Friday, so whatever...

The same people that are doing this also read those stupid things that came in the mail today. Who reads that? Who actually takes time to read that?

Howard said "It's just like Kentucky Fried Chicken". I almost called in, then realized it was the replay

Some other redneck called in and kind of set it straight anyway

2/29/2012 9:21:59 PM

Yes, trolling. I'm glad I can get a free inspection on my home's paint job, a coupon for Papa Johns that's clearly advertised on their website, and 5 dollars off a set of 4 tires. Well worth going through that spam mail and sifting through the other advertisements that don't apply to me...

2/29/2012 9:22:13 PM

the free tire promo is the best scam going right now. "Buy 3 tires and we'll give you the 4th one free.........but you have to sign up for the $200 maintenance plan"

2/29/2012 9:24:03 PM

The free sandwiches probably only apply to that one location, as well. What a stupid mentality. I bet these people don't even vote (I'm kinda glad).

2/29/2012 9:26:48 PM

Speaking of which, a guy from the Obama campaign called me today and asked me if I would like to volunteer to help them get voters registered this Saturday. I told him I work on Saturdays, and he said "You work on the weekend? That stinks." I responded: "Yeah, and so are you...but at least I am getting paid for it."

2/29/2012 9:28:30 PM

marketing is all about extorting suckers anyway.

2/29/2012 10:02:29 PM

If I had the time I'd camp out for free chicken for a year.

2/29/2012 10:08:45 PM

I wish I had known

there's already like 100 people out there I bet

3/1/2012 1:33:01 AM

dje I can guarantee the obama folks are getting paid too...pretty well might I add

I don't know about these opening give aways but you can use coupons at any location

The best chick-fil-a I have ever been to was in New Jersey.

3/1/2012 7:51:30 AM

A friend of mine got the year free from the RR store opening. AFAIK it was only applicable to the new location.

Chick-fil-A sucks. The only good thing on the menu is the sweet tea

If ~2k a month is pretty well then, I guess

3/1/2012 8:33:17 AM

so if the coupons for the free chick fil a are only good at that location...why do people travel around to these things?

With that said...every homeless person should be in line for these openings. they got plenty of time on their hands.

3/1/2012 10:18:23 AM

^^for organizing...and most times they arrange for them to stay with local folks and don't have to pay rent....I'd say

3/1/2012 10:31:12 AM

Going to IHOP on free pancakes day and not getting pancakes. TFM.

3/1/2012 11:01:08 AM

^^^I don't think homeless aligns with the CFA image. That being said, it would be interesting to see a christian organizations response to the homeless lined up out there instead of 100 upper middle class people.

The tents were all really nice and the people there were clearly all upper upper middle class. I was actually shocked I didn't see many nc state students there. I suppose they don't frequent to cameron village as much as that other group does, though.

Statements like this show that you've never spent any amount of time with homeless people.

Has anyone gone over there today? Place looks baller.

I would ball there for sure

3/1/2012 2:23:10 PM

that place is really nice

just did the drive thru

it is like entering an amusement park

3/1/2012 2:55:12 PM

I couldn't care less about the flowers and balcony and all that stuff. If the place is clean all I really want is to get my chicken sangwich and fries and to gtfo. Especially when the place is owned and operated by jeebus freaks.

3/1/2012 3:31:13 PM

The house that hate built.

3/1/2012 6:07:20 PM

bigots make some really fucking delicious chicken, I'll tell you what

3/1/2012 6:10:17 PM

how they bigots?

3/1/2012 6:21:33 PM

I camped out twice in about a month back a few years ago. I was first 100 in at Brier Creek and somewhere else I cant remember where.

Its pretty organized, you come in and they give you a wrist band with a number on it and you cant leave the parking lot. Through out the night they do random line-ups and if you arent there they cross you off.

You end up getting 52 coupons for no.1,3,or 5 combos. I did it twice and got 104 coupons

3/1/2012 6:25:46 PM

So do you know where you are in line when you line up?

3/1/2012 6:30:12 PM

went today...will probably add this to the lunch rotation so i don't have to continue eating harris teeter subs everyday

3/1/2012 7:57:50 PM

I wish I worked near a Harris Teeter

They fund anti-gay organizations and don't allow gays in any of their WinShape programs.

I just got back from there. That is one nice Chik-Fil-A. I think it would funny if they had some cow statues out there.
I will be making more trips out there.

3/1/2012 8:36:04 PM

^^ oh. where can i read more about this? what anti-gay groups? and what is winshape?

also, what is wrong with having a company that is based on what you believe in?
