The real boring dystopia is the radical car-centrism of having a drive-thru at all to begin with.

Try having small children; drive through a can be a lifesaver because you don’t need to unbuckle them, get their winter clothes on, get them into the restaurant, wait in line, order the food to go, then wait for the food, and then reverse the steps to get back into the car. It’s a giant PITA to just get some French fries, chicken tenders, and carrot sticks, let alone the drastically increased exposure to germs associated with a crowded restaurant. You may have heard, there’s a pretty bad wave of Covid, influenza, and RSV right now. Not sharing air with other people is a big part of staying healthy right now.

I don't eat chick-fil-A because of reasons but damn when I did they knew how to move lines fast. Also, the food is okay but it isn't as good as people make it out to me.

I'll never understand the literal lines around the block for fucking Bigot-Chicken.

can't speak for the bigots, but as a non-bigot who buys it for my kids a couple times a year -

there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. i say this as someone who doesn't shop at amazon or wally world, but it's really difficult to avoid every single brand/company with an asshole owner/ceo. additionally, my impression is they are one of the better employers in the area for people who just need a job and lack skills/ability to do something else.

I mean, if you don't mind/know about the bigotry, it's pretty fuckin good chicken. And their waffle fries are good too. Haven't eaten there in years and I do miss the food. But it's still a hard no for me.

it’s pretty fuckin good chicken.

But is it "wait a fucking half hour or more in a god damned drive through" good? Fuck no it isn't.

The streamlined menu makes it so the line goes pretty fast.

Even when it's around the building it'll only take 10 min.

Evidently some people value their time less or the chicken more.
