Open Letter to Chick-fil-a
Dearest Chick-fil-a,
I was thinking about you yesterday. Yes, on a Sunday. Sorry S. Truett Cathy, but I was thinking about your fabulous restaurant on a day it was closed. I have a suggestion for you, DON’T RUN COMMERCIALS ON SUNDAYS! Seriously, I’m begging you. It’s just not fair for you to tempt me with your funny cows with their misspelled words. I want to “eat mor chikin,” I really do. But I can’t do that when you’re closed.
I respect that you feel that your restaurants should be closed on Sundays, that’s admirable. I would eat at your establishment everyday of the week if I could. But I can’t. I have given you my patronage for years. YEARS! My senior year of high school, after every school day, I would go pick up a #5 8-pack with a sweet tea, two ranch, one buffalo (I have very specific sauce needs.) Your waffle fries are delicious, I love the chicken minis for breakfast, and I’ve been known to skip class to eat lunch with you.
My point is this: I’m a loyal fan of you and your original chicken sandwich, you should listen to me. I know what I’m talking about. It’s kind of hateful to tell me to eat your food when you aren’t there to make it for me. But because I love you, and I got a special request (@jimmiebjr,) here’s my tribute to your delicious sweet tea.
Ode to Chick-fil-a Sweet Tea
Oh delicious sweet tea
I do love you so
You’re looking at me
With your straw all aglow
I always read your side
With its interesting stuff
I’ll watch the Chick-fil-a bowl
My Jackets are tough!
I will take a free refill
If you really don’t mind
It gives me a thrill
That you’re always so kind
I really must go though
Oh wondrous sweet tea
I’ll be back tomorrow
So please don’t miss me

This is a very good point. I respect them for being closed on Sunday since that is the owner’s religious beliefs, but then I think it is wrong to advertise on Sunday also. They probably haven’t thought about that. It also doesn’t make a lot of financial sense to advertise on a day that people cannot visit your business.

[...] thus warmed my heart to read this post which is full of praise for all things Chikin. I also understand her dilemma. Sunday is one of the few days where I’m free to pick up [...]
