I am fine with them wanting to let their employees go to church, if that is the reason for closing on Sunday. I just think if that was your plan, then you really didn't need to have a location inside that stadium. That's just my opinion.
You can say that again ... oh, wait, you just did.

:D

lol. Yeah I posted it earlier, but the internet was lagging so I just walked away. When I came back it said I needed to log back in for the comment to finish going through, so I did.

Then I saw that it was somehow already posted on my first try. The internet is a frustrating place.

Frustrating, but ever more necessary. It's amazing how dependent we have become on it and it has just been around for a relatively short period. Not sure if that is good or bad.

The revenue from 52 lost days of business is irrelevant to CFA. The company places values above monetary gain.NO one's 'opinion' will move them from their stance and I for one appreciate a company that delivers quality products, POLITE service and gives back to it's community.

I know what they stand for, and I happen to stand with them. But business is still business. If a regular location wants to shut down on Sundays, that's perfectly fine and not a big deal. When you have a location in a building that is only open part time, it makes no sense. Why not just open another restaurant in a normal location that can be open 6 days a week, and have Sunday off, instead of going through the trouble of opening one up in a stadium and closing the restaurant on the stadium's busiest days?

I don't think this is an unreasonable question. I'm not taking anything away from Chick-fil-A, as a whole. But this particular instance just doesn't add up.

I think someone might have touched upon it earlier ... marketing. They are getting tons of free publicity.

I really like what we have seen in terms of movement from companies in recognizing that families need time too. I think they really led the way there. Now you're starting to see more places closing for black Friday or opening regular hours. I don't think people should be working on major holidays, just my opinion. It is better for society to be home and for families to enjoy time together. Just my opinion.

Adding that I hope CFA continues to do this since the founding owner ,Mr.Cathay, is deceased,if I am not mistaken. I hope the adult heirs keep it like that........

plus I WANT to make sure CFA stays closed on AtlFalcons gameday in their fancy stadium because I am football mean like that:bandg:

Also, to consider:

* Chick-Fil-A is moving its College Kickoff games to the Clowndome.
* Its sponsored bowl, the Peach Bowl, will also take place there
* College Gameday is moving there too.
* The Clowndome has employees who work a regular work week too.
* The stadium is set up to be a convention center.

And who knows, may be that CFA makes an exception and opens on Sunday during Clown game days.

So put your imaginary MBAs away.

I'm betting they open on Sundays.
