So, we were driving past the new Chick-fil-A in town last night. It opens this morning and has had signs up counting down the days until it opens for the past week.

I think this proves my theory that people are sheep and will line up for anything as long as someone else does it first.

Or maybe that "free" is too tempting to resist, even when the cost is high.

I'm having trouble supporting you because I've been in a Chick-Fil-A free zone for most of the last 5 years, and the thought of lining up all night at one doesn't sound that crazy right now.

Maybe there's some kind of celebrity performance? Or some kind of fantastic prizes for the first few guests? It does seem pretty ridiculous, though.

But if they opened one in NYC, I might just camp out.

I think the first several people in a new Chick-Fil-A get a year's supply of combo meals or something. I've heard about groups that follow them around and go to grand openings.

Man, now I really want waffle fries and polynesian sauce... and the nearest Chick-Fil-A is over 100 miles away. =P Just as well because I don't really like their connections to Focus on the Family, but the food is like crack.

Yeah, you get 1 one free combo for a week for a year. That happened here when they opened the one near my work.

[katishna]

connection to focus on the family? now i'm going ot have to go google.
