Chic-fil-A

I am about to share with all of you a life lesson.

Do not go to  Chick-fil-A in Spokane, Washington.

Four months ago our family went to Spokane to pick up my sisters from the airport. 

My younger brother asked if we could go through Chick-fil-A for lunch after we picked up the girls.

It would be a first time family experience and my brother was pretty determined to go there. 

It took us an extra twenty minutes from the airport to the part of town where we would grab lunch. 

We would have a three hour drive home after we ate.

We pulled into the turning lane at the light but when it was our lane's turn to go, no one was moving. 

Ladies and gentlemen, we were in the Chick-fil-A drive thru line! 

There was no turning back or switching lanes! We were in a cattle shoot!

We wondered why there were policemen directing traffic. 

Turns out they direct traffic for Chick-fil-A as the customers have to block around in line before ever reaching the Chick-fil-A parking lot.

We were in line for an hour and a half! 

We prayed a Rosary and a Divine Mercy Chaplet while waiting, with plenty of time to wait and spare!  

You can imagine our family dynamic having to wait that long for " not so fast food." (Or any kind of food!) 

My dad was pretty sure we were going to be given free food for having waited so long. 

After we finally got to the parking lot, there was an obstacle course you had to drive through to reach the drive thru itself. 

The gal taking our order told us that this was normal business for them. 

She said some people even camp out in their parking lot over night to be the first customers the next day! 

Unbelievable! 

My brother felt guilty for asking to go there to lunch. 

When he finally got his chicken sandwich, he said that it was the best chicken sandwich he ever had! 

Even if it were the worst chicken sandwich, after waiting an hour and a half, it better have been the best! 

This is both humorous and painful blogging about. 

   Now you all know why I hadn't blogged about this experience sooner.

We are still in shock over it. 

However, now we can at least sort of laugh looking back at it.

Chick-fil-A remains to be Max's favorite. 

I still cringe and shake my head. 

Lesson learned. 

I hope this made some of you laugh! 

I am going to be visiting my sisters and will not be blogging until I return home. 

Sometime next week I will begin blogging again!     

This video cracks me up!
