McDonald's only dreams that they could hire the employees that CFA does. It's more attractive to work for CFA. My nephew in N.Y. is a 1st yr manager for a new store in N.Y. and they treat him like gold. He graduated from UConn and had a job at CFA before graduation.

I think one thing that really helps CFA is they don't hire anyone who speaks in the lazy and ignorant vernacular of the person who created this video. Or perhaps their standards are so high that nobody who respects themselves or respects their employer would want to project such a ridiculous image.

I wouldn't want anyone who speaks this way to teach my children, prescribe my medicine, represent me in court, or even prepare my food. Would you?

It is all about standards, people. Standards of behavior, standards of dress, and standard of living. Every decade we choose to slip further from our high standards into the cesspool.

With that said she is correct. CFA does it right in every single way. It is their standard.

Fast food & fried food is not healthy.

Of course a funny video about Chik-Fila gets turned into a commentary on culture and race by the second comment on here. Geez people.

And their ice cream machine ALWAYS works!

One Saturday morning a few years ago I went to the Chick-Fil-A at Dogwood and got there as they opened. The service was great as always, but the man who handed me my food was the owner of that restaurant. He was there at 6am and was working the line.

The owner wasn't sleeping in on Saturday. He was at work alongside the staff making sure all was well at his establishment. That's a big difference for CFA. The way I understand it, you can't just swoop in and buy a franchise. You have to start working the line so you understand the business. Owners are not just financially invested.

Liberals hate CFA because the founders are Christians, but what they do works. The proof is in the results.

7:37 and 7:50 are Debbie Downers.

I eat at CFA a lot and I never get anything fried. CFA's salads are great.
There was no mention of race in the earlier post. Maybe 7:50 is the racist and thinks that societal ills are always the fault of minorities. Let tell you, there is plenty of lazy white trash in the world.

All racial groups have their problems. I just wish accountability could be raised without people screaming racism.

You mean the owner can't just buy franchises and then run around town looking like a big shot?

To qualify for a franchise, you have to work at a CFA for at least 5 years. Why? Because that’s what they require!

She mentions Popeyes always being out of chicken. I have to laugh, the Popeyes in Madison is damn disgrace to all things Popeyes. I used to stop by every now and then just to see if I could get a spicy three piece. I swear every time I did those idiots were out of chicken. Its been 10 years since I pulled through. Shame.

10 comments as I write and not one of the chronic malcontents that haunt JJ has found a way to denigrate Phil Bryant and/or Tate Reeves? Man, you losers are slipping.

Politics has become so tribal and trendy that cheering on the fast food franchise that waves the Conservatives' flag brings on hoards looking to jump on the band wagon. But can the Far Right mania for CFA chicken ever carry that brand up to McDonald's heights?

Conservative politics has become maniacal.

Popeyes? The only one worth going to is the one on Lakeland Drive. Staff is very friendly but yes, even they are out of chicken from time to time. High Street was the worst. It was nothing to see a line of cars at the drive through (BEFORE the lobby closed) because they had to cook chicken.

Popeyes really practices Just in Time inventory.

For those that didn't know the secret to that CFA taste, it is pickle brine. The chicken is literalky marinated in pickle juice. You're welcome.

The good service is due to them having a very clever hiring technique that weeds out scum. Doesn't matter the race of who is working there, they want to be there and they will eventually move on to better things. That great CFA employee that served you 5 years ago probably is being successful somewhere else now and is really doing some good in the world somewhere else. They only hire good people.

Thanks. While we are dishing out recipe secrets, here is one for you.

That delicious catfish at Cindy's? Dipped first in mustard before battering.

KingFish,
I know a lot of Cajuns use that mustard technique on their saltwater fish prior to battering. Saw them doing it years ago at their fish camps down on the coast.

The sass you deal with and real effort it takes to finally get your Popeyes chicken give it that something extra that makes it taste so so good.

Effortless fried chicken just isn't the same.

Yes, CFA's success has everything to do with their culture, and CHRISTIAN culture at that. We can sit here and debate why they are so successful, but their Christian values are paramount. They treat their customers and employees like they want to be treated themselves, which sounds familiar doesn't it? Other brands can try to duplicate CFA's model, but without that specific kind of culture, they never will attain it.

@10:33
I abandoned Popeyes for Churches chicken years ago. Always fresh and juicy and they are never out of actual chicken. They do run out of specials a lot. I also prefer their biscuits and sides.

@11:09

I agree but I don't know of a Churches location that I can visit without fearing for my life. If you know of a safe location please tell me and I'll be heading there for lunch today! Oh, I do CCW but even with heat I felt threatened at the last couple of locations I visited.

@11:50, if I'm not mistaken, there's a Churches Chicken on Hwy 80 in Pearl across from that old shitty Roses. That is a safe area.

@12:21

Thanks! I'm going to check it out soon.

@:12:21
Thanks for sharing that information. The Pearl location is the Churches that we patronize. It is worth the trip from Brandon.
It is safe and it is relatively fast. It is super busy for the dinner rush but they get you taken care of way faster than Popeye's in Brandon. The food is always good.

Someone give Rod Knox a Popsicle. He is in a bad and nasty mood.

CFA is very picky about the chicken that they purchase. They must be certified republican and no RINOs. The dems and progressive chickens are tossed out and sold to Popeyes.
