If Chick Fil-A Ruled the World

I tweeted this earlier this week, but I felt like it was a blog worthy thought. What if Chick-fil-A ruled the world. If you are a robshep.com reader outside of the south you may not know about Chick-fil-A. What you need to know is it's amazing! Both the food and the customer service are top shelf. It's fast food yet they come by and ask if you want refills on drinks, provide after dinner mints, and wet wipes. They also always respond with the phrase "my pleasure" whenever you say thank you. So what if they ruled the world?
  • Places like the DMV, cable companies, and Wal-Mart would have stellar customer service.
  • You would pay a little bit more (they don't have a dollar menu) but it would be worth it for the quality and service.
  • Businesses would be closed on Sundays so that families could spend time at church and then with each other. Thus I believe we would be less stressed, have healthier relationships, and come to work on Monday's re-energized.
  • Comedy would be smart but void of crude humor. Have you ever scene their billboards? Ha-larious.
  • Politicians would run clean campaigns while at the same time poking fun at their opponent. Chick fil-A picks on hamburgers non-stop. Their slogan is "Eat More Chicken" and it's said by a cow. It's funny but it's not mud slinging.
  • All coupons would be taken even after they expire. I love that about Chick-fil-A.
  • Creativity would be appreciated and taught at schools. It's one of the most creative companies I know.

Any other ideas of how our world would be different if Chick fil-A ruled it?

  1. Chic-fil-A excels at efficiency. They nearly always have a line, but it moves quickly. I have often waited longer in shorter lines other places, so the length of the line doesn't cause me to pass by Chic-fil-A because I know it moves. I often compliment the staff at the drive thru window because they are so efficient. It would be nice if other establishments took some training from Chic-fil-A.

  2. People would go out of their way to serve you

    There would be no more fake flowers in the world

    Everyone would be fat...but happy!

    I'm definitely with you on all of those. Every time I go in that place I think to myself "Dang, Chick fil A knows how to run a business" Let's go sometime

  4. every business, media, or political outlet would have their own personal costumed-character roaming the property.. greeting customers & employees, possibly dancing around in a carefree manner.

    oh, and every new business opening would be super-exciting & event-worthy. i've always wanted to go to a chick-fil-a store opening. all that free food in coupon-form as a result.... SO worth it

  5. Too funny. The other day we had a CFA drive-thru worker tell us to "enjoy our ride to the window". Even their drive-thru workers are nice. That's hard to find. :)

  6. Mim, very true.

    Ryan, let's do it. Soon!

    Brian, yes you can.

    Jake, you are the man! I agree with your comment.

    AL, I couldn't agree more.

  7. They need to come to Australia!

    No tipping in Oz (generally) so service is fairly abysmal

  8. John, if you are ever come to Virginia I'll take you. It's worth the flight from Australia.

  9. I have been to two chick-fil-a openings. They are legit! not only do they give you $300 worth of coupons, they feed you every meal, snacks and drinks all day long while you are there! They treat you like v.i.p.'s while you are camped out in their parking lot! it is amazing!

  10. I love all of that about Chickfila too... but I also love that you can use any coupon for any item. They just take the dollar amount from the original item listed on the coupon off of what you order! So nice!
