Every few weeks we have to have our Chick-Fil-A fix at
our house. They seem to have the best chicken sandwich among the fast food
restaurants in our opinion.
For those of you who have never been to a Chick-Fil-A, their system is pretty
amazing…not just the sandwich, but the service they offer. If you happen to pull
up to a Chick-Fil-A and see a long line of cars, don’t worry, you’ll be through
the line and on your way before you know it. They have a system that speeds
their customers through very quickly.
Rather than driving to a box with a microphone to place your order, then drive to a window to pay and then another window to pick up your order…CFA has a different idea.
When you pull into line, soon a person with an iPad in hand is going to walk up to
your car window and ask you what you’d like to order. As you
proceed through the line, another person will come to your car to get your money for your
order. As you continue to proceed, someone will bring your order to your car
and tell you thanks and have a nice day. It’s a pretty smooth business model.
I
read a tweet the other day that Cindy and I giggled at. With the recent challenges
they seem to be having in getting the Covid-19 vaccine distributed and
administered across the country, the tweeter suggested they turn the
distribution over to the people at Chick-Fil-A. By using their system, every
person that wants vaccinated would be taken care of in just the next few days. There
may be some truth to that.
On a personal side-note, when the person at Chick-Fil-A comes
to my car window to ask my name for my order, I tell them Hercules, which
always gets a giggle from the employee. Hey why not have a little fun? I mean,
tonight when that employee gets home, they’re not going to remember much about
their busy work day. They won’t remember how many Steve or Dave or Susans came
through today, but they’ll remember they had a Hercules come through their
line…and smile one more time.
REMEMBER:
Everything will work out exactly how and when it is supposed
to, regardless of how and when you may want it to. Let your faith in the
journey be stronger than your doubts and fears. Be patient with yourself and
your growth, knowing that good things always take time. Give yourself time and
space to try things and explore different paths. You will get there one day, so
don’t forget to enjoy the journey too.
Be talkin' to ya.
