What we could all learn from Chick-Fil-A

In most southern parts of the United States, there is a little slice of Heaven known as Chick-Fil-A. Now besides the high quality of their fast food, the thing that sets them apart is their amazing customer service. Chick-Fil-A goes above and beyond. Even though it's fast food they come by your table and ask if you want a refill, give you an after dinner mint, and often take up your trash. It's an amazing experience and they don't even ask for a tip! But even if you've never been to Chick-Fil-A there are a few things we all learn from them.

• Treat people with respect not because they can do something for you, but because you can. Did I mention they don't work for tips?
• Don't settle for mediocrity. Chick-Fil-A is fast food but they go above and beyond. How many times do you settle just because you can?
• Chick-Fil-A's are closed on Sundays so that employees can spend time with their family and if they choose to go to church. If we took time to rest and shut down once a week I believe we would be less stressed, have healthier relationships, and come to work on Monday's re-energized.
  •They are incredibly creative! If you've ever seen one of their billboards or calendars then you know what I'm talking about. All of us have the potential to be creative, but for some reason we've convinced ourselves that we are not. Sure creativity takes a little bit of work but it brings life to things. We need to add a little creativity to our marriages, families, and work places.

So if you are blessed to live near a Chick-Fil-A go eat their today and let them inspire you. If you don't...well it's worth it to plan your next vacation near one.
