The one that opened near me last year consumed the entire Best Buy parking lot for like three months. Fucker is still packed every time I'd like to try them. Eventually I'll see what the excitement is about.

If the average time at the window was 90 seconds (seems ambitious unless everyone was getting a free chicken sandwich and nothing else), the 100th person in line would spend 2.5 hours for a free ~$3 sandwich. Minus fuel cost. Minus the mental cost of spending 2.5 hours in a fast food line. Also that assumes the 100th person showed up the moment they opened. They’ve probably been there all night so even bigger lol. goatsestretchgoals fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Feb 8, 2024 |

Minus fuel cost. Minus the mental cost of spending 2.5 hours in a fast food line. Yeah, it's absolutely bonkers. A few years back, I was stationed in a city that never had a Chick Fil A. When one opened, there was that same level of insane traffic. I don't remember if they even bothered offering free food. Anyway, a few of my technicians had to come in on a weekend to install a bunch of VPN concentrators and servers. I told the other NCOs to stay home and enjoy their weekends, and I went in to head up the effort. I knew it would take all morning and part of the afternoon, so I was planning to order pizza or something, but my (brand new) butterbar insisted she'd bring food at noon. Didn't say what kind of food, and in retrospect I should have asked. The day of the installation rolled around. We were working in a SCIF, so I couldn't exactly pull out my phone and text for updates. 1245 rolled around, I called her from a landline to make sure she didn't forget or get hit by a car or something. She said she's in line at the drive-through, no worries. Cool. 1330. Couldn't reach her on her cell. I ordered pizza. 1430. Solidly two and a half hours later, she rolled in with Chick Fil A, long after we'd already gorged ourselves on pizza and finished up installing our servers. I'd already cut most of my guys lose and only a couple of us were left to run configs. She'd been in line the whole time. I brought home enough food to feed myself for a solid week, and had a nice chat about managing expectations. She ultimately turned out to be my favorite officer and a good human being, one of the very few USAFA grads that escaped that cesspit as a normal and well-adjusted person, but it def wasn't a terrific first impression for the technicians who'd been waiting for lunch. Anyway, what I'm getting at is, it's absolutely nuts that people will subject themselves to hours-long lines to get fast food. Like, poo poo, even setting aside the ethics of any particular place like Chick Fil E, with that kind of wait time you could either cook your own meal or pay for a chef at a bona fide restaurant to make it for you.

A court martial would be dumb on just about every level. Chaptering is most likely. An OTH is the most likely result for that, though a General Under Honorable /Good of the Service/ GTFO now is a possibility.

Started on a Monday, he was gone Friday morning. That’s what happens when you piss off not just one colonel (your brigade commander), but throw in another (the garrison commander). Getting your crimes on national media bodes well for the “you’re an embarrassment and we want: you loving gone” angle.

CfA actively hates and campaigns against members of my family so I haven't eaten there since they spoke against gay marriage and donate to groups supporting conversion therapy and poo poo. Popeyes dominates them on the sandwich game and in general anyway so its an easy choice. Haven't been to one in over a decade. Separately, when I was living in Oklahoma it was definitely "a thing" to slam into any new place that just opened no matter the wait. A new Krispy Kreme opened when I was there and it was slammed with like 30+ minute lines for the first month it opened. When another location opened not far away a while later, same thing... people there are weird about that poo poo.

Leave posted:What does getting chaptered mean? I'm pretty sure it's not good, but beyond that, how not good is it? Chaptered is the legal and paperwork process for "GTFO, you're done". The details of which paperwork and how it's filed determine a lot of other things later down the road but the immediate impact is "Your services here are no longer needed turn in your equipment the guards will escort you out." Of course sometimes the process takes months, sometimes you piss off the right people and it takes less than a week like above.
