They're working on a vaccine for that.

Del has been a test subject for years. The delivery system is rolling papers and a lighter. Although I hear they're experimenting with gummies.

I tend to agree, but when I was out at Camp Pendleton two weeks ago, I tried In-and-out burger.

My wife and I don't eat fast food in general, but we do like Chick-fil-A once in a while.

They have the friendliest workers I have encountered, and thus far they have not made a single mistake on any of our orders.  :thumbsup:

I don't eat fast food very often. The g/f and I decided to try chick-fil-a to see what all the hoopla was about. They had a line that was about two blocks long at the drive through and they were working like a well oiled machine. They had two girls outside working the line and taking orders while you were on your way to the window so the wait for the length of the line wasn't bad.

I didn't think the food was anything to get excited about but it wasn't bad. Better than KFC or Popeyes from what I remember. It's been a long time since I ate at either of those and I can't imagine it's gotten any better.  :D

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

Yeah I was surprised how quickly the drive thru line moves at Chick-fil-A too.

We try to stay low-carb when we can, so I like the Cool Wrap with their Avocado Ranch dressing.
My wife likes their salads that all have some form of grilled or crispy chicken.

Their frozen lemonade is really good too, especially on a hot summer day.  8)

My wife goes to Chik-fil-A to get drinks. They are the only ones in her area to still use Styrofoam cups, which keeps the drinks cold longer. She doesn't really care for the food. I was up there this past weekend. We went through and they had people in booths, like a toll booth, taking orders.

In-N-Out has ALWAYS been the exception.  

They have always paid more, had better service, had better benefits,  etc...

That is the one thing that keeps me from going there. Hate everything about styrofoam cups, how they break if squeezed, the straw catching on the foam and it chipping off, the taste they give the drink, and especially the environmental issues with them.

What, are you having a seizure when you're trying to drink from it?  :)

I agree about the environmental issues, although i don't think plastic is any better. Don't have any of those other problems.

I don't get why people like In-and-Out so much. The burgers were average, and their fries are sub-par. Wendys fries are better. No options for bacon on my burger? Fuck that. I've been there once and am in no hurry to return.

I like 5 Guys Burgers. Pricey though.

Try pushing a straw to the bottom corner of the cup when it is 3/4 full of ice and 1/4 full of drink to get the last bit of drink. You'll catch the foam. That reminds me, I dislike that they don't have the soda fountains within reach of customers and have to ask for a refill. The amount of ice they always put in is ridiculous.
