It seems like over the past couple years most of the chains have started serving... well, not GOOD chicken, but at least not dried out leather chicken anymore. It's at least fairly reliably moist. Has brining chicken become standard practice or something?

Point being, chik-fil-a doesn't even stand out among the trash joints anymore.

If you're not brining or marinating your chicken in some way you're just doing it wrong.

Good news. I’ve reached a new level of camping in the dining room today!

Had a reso for 20 people at 7:00. First members of group arrived at 6:30.

It’s now 11:45 and there are 4 people left in the group, sitting at the banquet table for large groups and they just ordered another small pizza to share.

We close in an hour and 15 minutes.

Edit: they left at 1:15. We close at 1:00

Make your own Chick-Fil-A at home. Add pickle juice to your brine or buttermilk. Problem solved.

Convince your bosses to put "We have the right to remove customers we feel are being disruptive or loitering" on the menu. Tell them they're loitering and boot them. When they complain, tell them to look at the menu.

Enjoy your yelp reviews if you do that.

My personal camper strategy is to refill water and thus interrupt the conversation every time someone takes so much as a sip.



So there's these regulars, very nice people, always say hi, ask how I've been, etc, that come in for lunch pretty often throughout the week. We chat often even when they're not my table. They've started calling ahead to let me know they're on their way if they know the have a time crunch so I can get the app going for them and have the wine on the table. No problem, except when I wait on them they leave 10%. Every other server/the bartender when they come in at dinner gets like 25%. I know nothing went wrong with the meal, everything was there ready to go, they had a good time, they even ducked back in because they were deep in conversation on the way out to say thank you etc. Its really kind of pissing me off and I've stopped waiting on them obviously, just pass them off to another server, but they still call, ask for me on the phone, and have me get the app and everything going for them. Its baffling as hell. I can't think of any variables except that I'm the only woman on FOH staff at the moment, but then its always the lady who pays so who the gently caress knows.

We brine in pickle juice, then dry-wet-dry (seasoned dredge I make myself, buttermilk, dredge). Come at me, you homophobic fuckwagons who get every Sunday off while I'm doing the lord's true work hauling rear end on brunch every single Sunday since I started. My chicken brings all the Baptist boys to the yard, and they're like, gosh darn it, it's better than yours.*

Hail Cook-Out, Lord Of Shakes

Just to be clear, although Cook-Out is Very Christian, I have no knowledge that the company or its ownership have any heinous political beliefs, employment practices, etc. I want to like their shakes, but they're so dang thicc I find them inedible.

Finding out Cinnabon, Moe's, Auntie Anne's, Hardee's, Carl Jr.'s, Arby's, Jimmy Johns, Carvel, Corner bakery Cafe and like 10 more are all run by a Randite cartel was much harder. I can't even keep them all memorized to boycott!
