Dozens of young people camping out at the front of a popular store... can only mean one thing?

 

 

Free Chicken For A Year

As Breaking911 reports,

‘Dozens’ of people are camping outside the newly built Chik-Fil-A store.

 

Why, you ask?

 

FREE CHICKEN FOR A YEAR! That’s why!

 

The chain is offering a years worth of free food to the first 100 customers. The first 100 adults in line will get a digital card loaded with a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A meals.

Welcome to the deep fried recovery.

Social conservatism has nothing to do with libertarianism.  They want THE STATE to enforce their Biblical beliefs on other people who don't share the same spiritual views as themselves.

This is why I refer to them as theocrats and not as right-leaning libertarians.

Ya know, NoDebt, you just hit on something really important
As with so much of the Left's machinations these days, and I do believe that it is crystal clear they do play the race, gay, etc., cards all hell bent to destruction.  Why, the whole concept of "Political Correctness" is that it supposedly shames you by a higher power into cow-towing and pulling the party line.... the problem being "Who's fucking Correctness we talkin' about, here?"  Beautifully manufactured (Eddie Bernays would be so fucking proud!) mind control, perceptions management process.
So a lot of folks.... most that I know as a matter of fact who are reasonably sane (throw out the neo-cons and Progressives) all are ever so sick and tired of being beat upon with others hidden agendas, that are not at all so very subtly hidden anymore.  The Gay stuff, the Race stuff, the Immigration stuff.... all just become tools for the statist to increase power, revenue and control.

And I sincerely believe that is one reason that the electorate (right wrong, difference no difference doesn't matter) this time around gave the Democraps such a drubbing.  The folks are tired of being treated like idiots and manipulated. 
To wit:  Maybe football and Dancing with the Quadriplegics is still big, the mindless stuff..... but juxtaposed thereto, the viewership of MSM television and NewsPapers is declining badly.
The "folks" have had it (for whatever reasons) with the bullshit being piped to their homes and heads.

To wit:  Your comment about the people buying the Chick-filet sammies.  Tired of the push from everybody about everybody else's agendas.

I have buds of all colors, races, creeds, political persuasions, wealth ... whatever.  And none of us care one bit for the crap being "pushed" upon us.
And none of us are racist, etc., and believe that what you wanna believe and do, is your own business.... As long as it doesn't interfere with somebody else's rights.
Racists?  Try the Democratic Party  (The R's just elected a bunch of blacks to DC!)
Homophobes?  Well, the television programs don't last long
You name it.  It's being shoved down our throats and up our butts and most everybody is sick and tried of it.

If there were a Chick-fillet near me I'd go get one right now....

Full Disclosure:  Y'all ain't heard me rail on the R's much yet, because they're not the ones who got the accountability until now.  Ah, it's gonna be sweet.  Like having 2 straight line guys feeding the jokers.

A prof of mine once said: "As long as you are pushing someone else down, you are not picking yourself up."

Ever damn day ZH tries to make its readers feel superior to some chic-fil-a/iphone "scum". The reality is that 95% of the people here are just as hooked. Ya'll smartypants chase "making money" by trading bits. Someone dumber than you chasing a few grand in food for NO EFFORT (sound familiar?)... IDIOTS!

Not direct at anyone in particular so don't take offense.

Chick Fil A is destroying McDonalds.  It is like day and night.  Nice polite clean cut kids probably from Baptist chruches versus illegals and Obola voyers at McDs.

CFA is clean, the food is good and REAL and you do not have riots or gang initiations or punch out old whitey when you IS waitin in line.   Cause you done IS be in line with Moochelle at McD's.

CFA is packed at lunch and dinner time too.  Real food, great service, clean locations. Awesome.

Let's do the math assuming one CF combo per week on the card and a 20 hour wait outside the restaurant:

Time spent in line: 20 hours

Meals per year: 52

Price per meal: $6

Total cost of meals: $312

Earning per hour: $15

This doesn't count taxes you don't have to pay.

Yea, not such a bad deal if you're gonna eat that crap anyway.

For fucks sake. You can pick up chicken at the store for like $1.50 a pound. And you're a god damn idiot if you eat fast food fried chicken every single day. Even if it's every other day, then, you'll get like $300 value out of this tops, to eat food with pretty much the lowest quality level possible.

Everyone knows what "mechanically separated chicken" is, right? Yum. Hint - it isn't a Fil-A of chicken.

And speaking of what's in your fast food, everyone knows what "pizzles" are, right? Of course most pizzles go into making those "beef jerky" doggy treats you lovingly feed to Fido, because there's a higher profit margin in that use, but you can bet that your "100% all beef" burger contains at least a little pizzle.

Well with the average price of $7.50 for a decent meal there (factoring in the upcharge for "going large" & the lemonade (which is actually quite good) multiplied out over a 6 day-a-week & 52 week period (closed sundays) that would be ~$2340.00 worth of food.  I might consider camping out a single evening for that sort of thing.  Not as pristine as the lake, but I suppose it might be worth the payoff. (depending on what the fine print of this "deal" is)

At first I thought the people are camping out to get one of the few new jobs in this economy.

Unfortunately the jobs are already gone.

The campers in-line who can afford to wait several hours for roughly a $300 value in chicken meals must be pretty desperate.

That's the equivalent to a 30 hour work week for the lowest of the food chain. How many hours of camping out does it involve? Selling a bunch of crap on Craigslist on a weekend and there's the $300 income right there.

Jobs are gone. What's left are the scraps and when camping in store fronts doesn't deliver scraps, the fighting will start soon.

It’s perception.

That’s a very sad photo.  Those are our people.  Those are Americans.     

Ironically consider Chick fil A as a corporation too. 

Romney said, “"Corporations are people, my friend... of course they are. Everything corporations earn ultimately goes to the people. Where do you think it goes? Whose pockets? Whose pockets? People's pockets. Human beings my friend.”

The strong survive while the weak beg like dogs in alley for scrap as pictured.

From a purely financial perspective, Mr Cook (God bless his pointed little head, he can be and do whatever he wants, I have no bitch about that) has potentially screwed some future growth as a number of countries upon which Apple plus many others are betting they derive their growth from, have a big ass taboo about gayness.
So on the one hand, the great outing process applauded by the lefties versus his fiduciary (well at least best commercial efforts) duties to shareholders.
Oh well, in Obama land the shareholders, bondholders and whomever else don't fucking matter, a la GM nationalization, no?

It's not bad, but not particularly amazing and certainly not worth the wait.  I like it sometimes as a change of pace but wouldn't go out of my way to get it...although it is better than a lot of other fast food places.

I'm guilty of making regular stops by Chipotle for their tacos so I'm not one to really judge.

Chick-fil-A has been doing this for as long as they have been in business.  

It is famous they do this for first 100, and good local advertising.  The newspapers take lots of pics and interviews.

It always looks like the management is in the tents though...many have nice clothes and ties, so it might be somewhat a scam, and always everything is tidy and almost set up like it was pre-planned who got what  spot...and no fights.  Again they all look like managers in the tents.  Oh well, it would be fun.

Anyway it tastes good.

Fri, 11/07/2014 - 04:09 | 5422826 HardlyZero
HardlyZero's picture

there are a few interpretations.

Being Electrical I see it as being zero then amplifying the zero moar towards zero.  Being "HARD" zero or HardlyZero.  

I think this above interpretation is were I begain...I wanted to show my desire to be more zero than naturally possible by amplifying zero...like a virtual ground in an amplifier or Op-Amp circuit.

There is definitely positive feedback.

 

Also look as a little man with right hand on the amplifier output and feet on ground back to the amplifier input...a risky thing, always keep your left hand in your pocket around high amperage.

I've heard it looks lika an Ankh, so the "little man" may have religious overtones.  Subjects like Jubilee occasionally come up.

 

Another interpretation is that I am "not zero" and so am Hardly(ever)Zero...we all count.   To be Hard Zero and Hardly Zero at the same time has a Yin-Yang or Zen concept, or maybe quantum to be both zero and not zero at the same time with a certain probability at any one time (Schrodinger's Cat ? ot Heisenberg Uncertainty).

 

Just having fun.
