Chick Fil A. What awful people!

[Cameramonkey]

That's a stupid response to this thread. Idiot.

Good on CFA for caring for employees, customers, and people in general.

So how much Prednisone are YOU on?

So how much Prednisone are YOU on?

Not steroids; baseball.

I'm watching the World Series, and so I was only about 1/3 paying attention to what I was doing on INGO. Then when I figured out what I did, I was mad at myself.

Now I see why the left protests them so much.

My pastor's daughter has lived her whole life with heart issues. Now in her 30s she NEEDED a new heart. (she got as low as 25% function) With God's will, a compatible donor came up a couple weeks ago and now after a couple off and on periods she is doing amazing. She is on high doses of Prednisone, (a steroid) and one of the side effect can be extreme emotions and anger. Basically "roid rage". However, just like they say alcohol doesnt make you an a-hole, it just brings out the true you, it is doing the same for her. Well, lets just say she is the sweetest, kindest lady deep in her heart.

She is insisting on being obnoxiously thankful and praising God at every possible moment. She will tell her story to anyone who comes in and share the beauty of God, and often will ask her mom (our pastor) to pray over the person right then and there before they go. Some people are mean drunks, I would have to assume she would be a happy drunk.

As part of this "rage" she insisted that the family needed to buy lunch for the critical care staff as a thank you for all they have done, and called CFA herself to put in an order to feed the floor. And of course in her roid rage, she tells the manager why she is doing it and how wonderful they are for saving her life, and of course how God has watched over everyone during this time.

Her dad dutifully goes to the restaurant to pick up lunch, credit card in hand to pay the $200 bill. Can you believe what they had the nerve to do!?!?!


THEY WOULDNT LET HIM PAY AND INSISTED ON GIVING HIM THE FOOD FOR FREE!!!! I mean, the NERVE of some people!

The manager explained that they appreciated the gesture, and knowing it was the patient that wanted to do this and more importantly why, they insisted on giving it to the family for free because "Its what we do."

Amazing. All the way around.

Thanks, nice to hear about something so uplifting when we are all too often confronted with darkness.

Thanx. Saved me the trouble. Basebaall can be hard on a feller.

Great story glad she was able to receive a new heart. May she live a long and happy life.
I know several great people who have worked for CFA at some point and it definitely had an impact on their lives. A family I knew well as a child owns the CFA on Southport Rd, truly awesome people. Now I want a chicken sandwich and waffle fries

So how much Prednisone are YOU on?

In 02 when diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's lymphoma (and given a stop watch with very limited time in it) part of the treatment process was called CHOP which was 4 serious drugs in a cocktail. The "P" is Prednisone and yes, it will put you in a higher orbit. Intense.
But it worked.....

Prayers and positive thoughts outbound.

Big thumbs up for Chick-fi-a, prayers inbound.

Gotta drive 45 min to get Chick-fil-a in Lafayette, always packed, well worth it. We have a Culver’s 20 min away (yes we live in the middle of nowhere) every bit as friendly as C-F-A and a wider selection, great ice cream. Culver’s is pretty awesome.

 

[bcannon]

Been through 2 ohs and somewhat familiar with the big P side affects. This little girl rocks, could not ask for a better outcome for her. A for CF. Very good people. This story gave me a serious case of the warm fuzzys. A to St Vs also. Wish there were more people like CF and St V, this country would be a much better place.

 

[KellyinAvon]

I'm fine with the woke-crowd avoiding Chick-Fil-A, they can go get a bowl of grass and I'll have a shorter line for my spicy chicken and waffle fries.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

Awesome on chick-fil-a! Was there last night, and the line was around the building, had my order taken, food handed to me, and headed home in under 10 minutes. They have the best people.

This post 100% made my day! Praise God and Thank You Chic-fil-A! Thank You to OP for posting!

You ok if I copy/paste your post on Book of Faces?

 

[rhino]

Everyone knows that anyone associated with Chik-fil-A is a monster!

 

[Alamo]

I think I will stop reading any more internet for the rest of the day. Can be only down hill from here.

 

[femurphy77]

THOSE BASTAGES!!!!!!!!


Think I know where I'm going for lunch today!

Copy/paste? I prefer you dont. The snark is calibrated for INGO and wouldnt carry over well to FB. But if you would like to share the story and reword it, you are welcome to.

 

[fullmetaljesus]

My mother works at Chik-Fil-A. She had a customer call in and complain that she was being too personable. I‘m not kidding.

Once had a boss receive a similar complaint about me.

He said "you sound too friendly on the phone and they were worried you were a solicitor, can you not be so friendly?"

My response "you want me to be less friendly and helpful to our customers?"

Probably one of the most ridiculous conversations I've ever had.

 

[Brad69]

Can I use the story for my sermon tomorrow?

I am rehearsing my Prosperity Preaching gig!

The country is full of good people and organizations like this. These types of things happen everyday, we just don't always hear about them. Media and politicians don't like to highlight these acts because they make money and gain power through sowing division and pessimism and fear.

I will say one bad thing about chick fil a, I eat a lot more fried chicken than is healthy because of them.
