Krista and the kids joined some of their friends for Cow Day at Chick-Fil-A yesterday. And I have to say, if I were to operate a fast food restaurant, I would do it their way. Without question, their employees are the kindest and most competent of any place that we go to on a regular basis. The servers actually give the impression that they realize they are getting paid to serve someone else, and I like their standard response when a customer expresses thanks, they simply say, "My pleasure!" Their stores are clean, well-organized, efficient, and other things which manifest that they care about what they do.
I also admire their steadfast commitment to closing up shop on Sundays. Theologically, I do not believe they are obligated to do so, which in some ways makes it more impressive. They turn down profits to honor the Lord Jesus Christ, and readily admit the reason for doing so. And by being closed on Sundays, their believing employees are not put in a position of temptation with respect to neglecting the gathering of the church and missing corporate worship, teaching of the Word, etc.
