"Why Chick-fil-A Out Performs The Competition - Capitalism Done Right" | Kip Reacts to The Fat Files 

With all the Chick-Fil-A controversies, it's kinda ridiculous what people are fighting about. It's a follow the money situation, look at who's behind the smear campaigns and who's always slinging insults and attacks at a group just because they have their own personal opinions like giving employees freedom to have Sunday off, and what they choose to do with their own revenue, and not impose on others.

The founder died a couple years back, so now it's his kids that run chic-fil-a. The kids can't sell/make the company public though. Due to a legal agreement that the founder had with them.

I used to think that Chick-Fil-A was overrated because EVERYONE around me just talked about how good it was when it was brought up. Then I actually tried it, as a complete skeptic, and now it’s easily my favorite chicken sandwich. Highly recommend.

As someone who has started working for CFA in the last year, it’s the happiest I’ve been in years according to my best friend after working for another company for nearly 7 years. I chalk that up to the fact that CFA cares about their employees’ wellbeing, their starting pay for full time is really good (and the hours back this up), and I’m able to move around far more because they rotate what position you are in for each shift daily, meaning you’re not always on drive through order taking or front counter, you get a chance to work in every station and you don’t stagnate. And on top of that, the customers are very rarely ever rude because they know that CFA holds itself to a high standard and does everything it can to make that standard.

The chik fil a where i live is so busy it has 5 lanes for orders like a bank

I think the closest Chick-fil-A is about 45 minutes away. I recently was driving to a job site in upstate NY (just part of the job is drving for different types of work) and at a service plaza, I fueled up, and grabbed breakfast at the Chick-fil-A there. Despite the fact it was 8 in the morning, the staff seemed in good spirits, and my food came out quickly. It was a breakfast wrap wogh grilled chicken, egg, cheese, and potatoes. It was so tasty.

Chick-FIL-a is just built different man

All I know about how popular Chick-Fil-A is, is when my mom was in the hospital, her room overlooked a Chick-Fil-A and 5 times a day it was packed to the point, car backed up almost into traffic. Everyday, the five days she was there. And it had double drive-thrus.

Damn, I wish there was a Chick-fil-A in my city so I could behold it's brilliance.

It's the reason a lot of doctors specialize. Are you going to a general surgeon for a kidney transplant? You go to the doctor who transplants kidneys.

There is a town here in Texas that can not get a Chick-Fil-A because the company determined that there was not a good enough "dependable labor pool" to keep their restaurant staffed to their standard.

Couple of things, as someone who worked at chick fil a for 3 years and they wanted me to be a grand opening trainer. Any things chick fil a personally donates to doesn’t usually go to the owners. The owners are their own people and it’s just the big corporation that donates and stuff. Second of all. The menu is fantastic because it’s simple. Sides (when I worked there) was waffle fries, chicken soup, parfait, fruit cup, and coleslaw, there is also salads but those are packed in house and super quick to sell out the door. Salads could have hot chicken on it but we would grab the cooked chicken and cut it. Another thing back then was we did a chicken salad sandwich and used the properly cooled chicken waste that sat too long under the warmer (30 minutes) and we would take the breading off and make a chicken salad sandwich from it. The kitchen was split into pantry and hot obviously. Pantry was salads, fruit cup, wraps, salads, and stuff like that, hot kitchen was just chicken sandwiches, nuggets, and strips

Unlike KFC, chick-fil-a has actually good chicken

I've never had a bad experience or a bad meal from CFA. Only time I have an issue is when I'm REALLY hungry and the line in drive-thru is super long lol, there are two CFA locally for me and neither of them have ever done me dirty...unlike the local BKs which have gone so far down hill I'm more often than not likely to get something cooked in old grease. I prefer to go inside to make my orders unless it's basically a torrential downpour outside that forces me to use the drive-thru and even when both the drive-thru and inside are packed to the gills (something not uncommon in the south) CFA rarely if ever screws up even when they are in a hurry to keep the lines moving...biggest screw up I've ever had in the drive-thru is they gave me a wrong sauce than what I ordered and I'm not about to bitch and moan about my dipping sauce being different than what I ordered when they are packed to the gills and the service the other 999.99% of the time is impeccable.

You know whats smart? Way in the 70s 80s every mcdonalds did the research and pizza hut would open up right there.

Sadly, the nearest Chick-fil-A is like 40-50 minutes away, so opportunities to even try their food are few and far between.

Funny i used to never go to Chik Fil A not as a political standard but because it never interested me. Until two things happened 1) i had a gay friend that worked at chik fil a when a rumor was started that they would never hire gay people which made us laugh at the idiots on Twitter and 2) one of my exes was a single mom and the starting salary/flexible hours they gave her was so good that i decided then and there that, unless i craved a specific meal, CFA would be top 3 fast food to go to.

Chick-Fil-A and In & Out have some of the best management and business practices in the US.

I’ve stopped caring about every single little thing that a CEO or company does, as long as they’re treating their right. Look, if my gay family members refuse to stop going to Chick-Fil-A, why the *hell* should I beat *myself* up over it?

My sister has worked for two different Chick-fil-As and she said the operator would show up at least weekly, hop in whenever he needed to, etc. Also, all of the Chick-fil-A I've lived near are always swamped. There is only about an hour or so out of the day that they actually catch up with the drive thru. And yet people will still sit and wait 30 minutes for their food, whereas at McDonald's I've seen people leave the line after 30 seconds of waiting and seeing the line not move.

The "buying a gunstore" vs. McDonald's analogy misses the part where I tell you that you have to buy all of your ammo only from me can only use equipment from my certified vendors, and can only get service done to that equipment from certified companies of my choosing. Chick-fil-A owns the thing, so this isn't really your problem so long as they're not burning the profit you're sharing. Owning the supply chain effectively makes the franchisee the customer.

My college had a chick-fil-a _on campus._ I ate that a lot because it was absolutely delicious. I miss those days because I'm nowhere near a location these days. Also, I have the ability to separate the creator from the work. I didn't stop watching The Usual Suspects because Kevin Spacey is a POS. I still like P. Diddy and R. Kelly's music. I still watch Weinstein films. I can ignore or hate an artist, and still like the art.

As someone who has family who works at Chick-fil-A as a director of a store. I can say without a shadow of doubt. I like the food.

When I worked in IT during the pandemic, we had a boss that got peomoted to said position from our function. The entire management team made sure to do a round of every single team and every single room in the building every day to make sure everyone is OK and to make sure there were no issues. It was a safe, chill and happy environment that I was happy to work at, and every day at 3pm my boss would walk into the room and just ask "how's everything here?" And we'd inform him of changes and such and if we reported an issue, it would usually be fixed THAT SAME DAY (so before 5pm)! So yes, this approach of the boss being visible and having a visible ladder did WONDERS for morale and atmosphere! It is THE best job I've ever had and it has set the standard for my selfrespect as an employee and for what I will accept from leadership moving forward!

those waffle fries are so good

Customer service is hecking amazing at Chick-fil-A too. Genuinely the worst experience I've ever had there was when an employee smiled halfway when they told me to have a good day. That's it. I know you have personal concerns about the ethics about the whole gay thing, but honestly I'd recommend going there once just to experience the customer service at least once. Hell, even go during a rush and see how fast that line goes.

I fly to California every couple years to visit friends and every time I smuggle a bag of in and out burgers back on the plane for the return trip to share with my family.

if I make a system that has a bug the person that finds the bug is someone I WANT ON MY TEAM

Hearing that Doritos story makes me think about Sobe. You remember Sobe? Pepsi wishes we didn't.

Kip I feel you on the mcrib. During my family day during basic the first thing I ordered was two large mcrib meals cause they had just came back. I was a happy trainee that day.

I'm 46 and I've eaten at CfA in every state in the southeast. I've certainly eaten hundreds over the years. In all that time, I've gotten two that were overcooked and bad. Just two. Both were taken back, thrown in the trash and replaced with a smile and an apology. You can't ask for much better than that.

I sadly can not have chick fil a or popeyes because I am allergic to peanut oil 🫠

I wasn’t sure you were from California until the “love an epic burrito ma dude”

I live near where the founder of Chick-fil-A lived/died, and there is something of a specialty Chick-fil-A that has a Hawaiian theme. It still has the regular menu, but it also has some Hawaiian menu items. I believe there used to be a pizzaria, but I haven't been to/seen it for a while, so they might have shut that down. Last I went was years ago, mind you.

The field of dream approach works because there r like 4 in my city and i know where to go for each and how to get there and depending where i am in the city which is closer

I did work for Wendy's/Arrby's as a contractor and they flat told me rather than figuring out where to put a store they would open the phone book and look up McDonalds and put a store next door because McDonalds already did the research.

Oh, that explains so much. Chick-Fil-A has never fu¢ked up my simple chicken sandwich with only cheese. Also having a less absurdly large menu probably helps reducing chances of mistakes. It’s funny that my preference hierarchy is the opposite of what are successful businesses. McDonald’s is on the low end of my list. Chick-Fil-A and Wendy’s are at the top now.

This is a random part of the video to latch onto, but I hate that McDonalds needs different buns, burger sizes, etc. You're a fast food restaurant, quick, cheap, and consistent product is what made that entire part of the restaurant industry become so big to begin with. Have one type of bun and focus on your core products, those being burgers, fries and chicken nuggets. 86 the random fish and chicken sandwiches and for the love of god... STOP THE CONSTANT PROMOS. McDonalds kind of touches on a core issue I have with almost every game or movie to come out of the US and even those that make it over from Europe in recent years. They try to hard to have a bit of something for everyone, and in doing so they forget to actually make their product for a target audience.

Where I live it’s hard to find a Chick-fil-A. That doesn’t have at least five or six cars in line. It’s ridiculous.

Huge fan of chick-fil-a's grilled chicken

Have to give you a hard time because you don't usually make mistakes. I've never seen a bank open on a Sunday. I don't doubt it may be a thing in some regions but all the banks near me as well as the banks my parents worked at as I was growing up were all M-F 9-5 except they close on 7 on Fridays to give people a chance to get in before the weekend. This can be forgiven thanks to your praise for In n Out at least

The Chik-fil a near me also has waffle fries and Mac&Cheese

It’s also not a publicly traded company, hopefully they keep it that way forever.

We need Chick-fil-A in the uk

I miss In N' Out! I can't wait that they are coming to the South, to my area in Tennessee.

The reason there is a McDouble is because of the $1 menu. Originally the double cheeseburger was on the $1 menu. Now cheese is the biggest money maker at McDonald's. They make thousands of dollars on 1 case of cheese and it costs $65. They realize if they take 1 piece of cheese off and rename it the McDouble they can jack the price of the double cheeseburger up 30¢. Therefore making more cheddar cheese

Mcchicken gets shredded lettuce; that's what you're seeing on the sandwich.

The "controversies" CFA keeps getting in kind of reminds me of gaming controversies but inverted. Instead of it being a company changing their goods and then immediately disowning their current fan base, CFA stayed on course for what their customers wanted. So now the not-customers are demanding changes where none is needed!

The only good thing about MickeyDees is the sweet n sour sauce 😂😂

I live I'm Maine and the nearest Chick-Fil-A is like a hour and a half drive away and I have never been I want one closer

As a former chick fil a worker they pay absolute shit especially when i worked there pre covid i was 10c above minimum and they schedule u like 5 hours a day

My take on sesame seed buns. Most sesame seeds on hamburger bun seem raw and don't taste good. Either toast the seeds or use poppy seeds because poppy seeds are glorious.

CFA opened their first ever non US chain in England 4ish years ago and activists got it to close within weeks despite the huge lines to buy food, all because of the former president and that it's an openly Christian company that donates to Christian charities. My Mom's former manager, who was a convertable Miata driving 50 year old queen, paid for her lunch at the nearby CFA once to have someone order for him to try it despite the former president's anti gay marriage stance, and he's been hooked ever since. I've even had similar instances with uke's I've been with in the past. CFA is just that good.

My first Job was Chick-fil-A I can say for certainty that while the operator 10k deposit helps kill off nepotism for the owner of the store it does not help with nepotism on the employee level. My sister and my Brother were hired at the Chick-fil-A I worked at because I was a hard and dedicated worker, I had no position of power but I was one of the employees that had regulars actually request my services (CFA is a sit down table service fast food place) a local CFA director started working at our specific store and her sister joined was immediately put in a manager position… (I complained enough for them to put her through the normal 90 day probational period) but they gave her the manager position back the same day she finished that. They then targeted me with Constructive Dismissal. (They eventually suspended me for something I wasn’t capable of doing and I put my two weeks in the second they did that) they also Violated the Americans with Disabilities act as they knew I was diagnosed with autism and purposely made my work load harder

In my region of the US, the attempts to cancel CFA was really petty and only helped them in the long run. Protesters at the first location in the state were saying CFA hates LGBT people, citing that they donated to Salvation Army and how SA goes about thier business in relation to LGBT people (Ive never found confirmation of the claims, but that isn't germane). CFA said (abridge version) "Our donation relationship with SA is because we are a Christian-values company we wanted to donate to a Christian-values charity. We are happy to have this branch donate to a different Christian charity the community recommends." Well, the protesters didnt think that it was enough for CFA to be LGBT neutral. They demanded CFA dontate to a pro-LGBT organization. This was a no-go for CFA (being a pro-Christian values company). Since it was clear meeting the protesters half-way, in good faith, was pointless, they decided that they would not be changing their donational relationship with Salvation Army since it would be added paperworks/cost/effort to change to another organization to please a group that was never going to support them anyway. Conservatives loved that they wouldnt abandon thier principles and went out of thier way to support them. Moderates like me respected the good faith effort they put into accommodating the community they were moving into and we gave them a shot. The only people not happy are those who were unwilling to have anything but absolute compliance... and some of them I *know* occasionally eat there (Ive seen them in there and the wrappers in thier car bins).

I recently tried Chick-Fil-A fir the first time relatively recently. Service was great, people friendly enough, but I wasn't really impressed with the food. It was filling and inoffensive, but kinda mid. Same deal with Five Guys, though theirs is more quantity.

Blessed be the lords chicken.

WalMart and other businesses have failed (Ben & Jerry's I'm looking at you). Making money is not success, its the 'way' they're making money. A business can be considered good but when people hear its practicing child labor or treating employees like garbage, I cannot see that as a success. Chick Fil A and the kids of the Founder handling the business, the fact they're doing this well shows they know what good business practice is and what good employee treatment is, THAT is a successful business because EVERYONE is happy from Top to Bottom to Customers.

I have never actually had Chick-Fil-A, and for whatever reason I really like the McD's "basic bitch, not-real-food, probably-sawdust" McChicken, but only after putting it in the fridge and eating it cold the next morning.

I think they sell a product similar to a mic rib in grocery stores

I’ve eaten at In-In-Out (Can’t remember how to spell it) A couple of times and I don’t think it’s AS good as people say. I think the main reason people say it’s so good is because it’s hard to find outside of like 4-6 states. For reference I live in South Carolina and we have this restaurant called Rush’s and it’s also only found in like 4-6 states, I don’t find it to be amazing and just like In-In-Out I think it’s just hyped up because it a more exclusive chain. Anyway this concludes my small rant, have a nice Day!

Politics aside, them Chick-Fil-A waffle fries are fire lol.

Why is it so entertaining to listen to Kip go off on food. Lol 🤣

Wow... This video released on the same day I bought a McChicken from McDonald's and it was so hot that when I bit into it, expecting a normal heat for a burger off the grill, the inside of my mouth was literally burnt. Like legit skin peeling off a portion of my mouth. Hell, I can still feel the smooth part on the roof of my mouth, right above my upper teeth, where my skin is still healing from that burn. Edit: And yes the green stuff is supposed to be lettuce, but it's more like a slop that doesn't have the texture or taste of lettuce. Hell, everytime I've had the "lettuce" I always felt sick later that day.

All banks are definitely closed where I am from, then again I do live in the South.

They even have mini chicken sandwiches for breakfast. It’s like a sweet biscuit with chicken nuggets in the middle and you can have caramel sauce with it freaking awesome. I love Chick-fil-A.

If you want a mcrib year round find a AB Rib sandwich. Or check save o lot

They just added a bacon honeymustardbarbeque sandwich, its pretty good

12:00 ........ Djreedos

When it comes to McDonald there is 1 kind of burger I like there (Burger Drwala which is season thing), and only because I have fond memories from trips to Czechia as a child and I really liked to eat fried cheese with tatar sauce there (among other things like knedliki) and this burger has exact same type of cheese inside

Man, I’m extremely early for this one, bet it’s going to be a good video!!

26:55 This made me laugh when I watched the original video and it made me laugh again now.

Red beans & rice is pretty good though. Especially with some corn bread.

You know I just realized a good counter point. Chic-fil-a basically only offers 1 seasoning type, it's signature seasoning blend, while delicious it's basically a 'vanilla fried chicken' spice blend. I like Chic-fil-a a lot but what I really like are BUFFALO chicken sandwhiches. So I have absolutely gone to McDonald's before over Chic-fil-a. I've never understood why they don't go for more seasonings. If you want garlic-parm wings you basically need to make 'em or order from a Pizza-place. BBQ, Nashville hot, Ranch, Honey BBQ, Sweet and Spicey, even if they don't put it on the chicken in the sandwhiches having those be flavor options for the tenders and nuggets would be awesome. Also why tf do they only have waffle fries? I get that they're a chicken place and I like fries but waffle cut are just objectively a low-tier french fry and when you're choosing a side, you want something good to pair with your sandwhich/tenders/nuggets. Crispy straight/crinkle cuts and steak fries are baller french fries even if you don't season 'em like checkers does or load them with cheese and bacon or chilli and onions. And don't get me started on curly fries, WHY TF IS ARBY'S ONE OF THE FEW DRIVE-THRUS THAT SELL THESE!? It's a damn crime.

the mcdonalds thing doesn't work on me because I'm autistic lol and I don't like to deviate from what I like, I will always get a cheeseburger plain, or double cheese burger plain, with 6 chicken nuggies (ten if I'm really hungry that day), and a smoothie because they're the only good place to get a smoothie in my area. I may or may not get fries if I have a friend to share them with but by default I don't get them because I never finish them, so legitimately i don't deviate from those combinations. That said I am sadge that my order is on average $15 even just for a cheeseburger, nuggies and a smoothie.

I can’t get over how he pronounces Doritos, fucken “dritos” who says it like that lol

3:15 fun fact in my country in the Philippines banks close in week ends the concept banks open 7 days a week is forign to me And technically ur working week ends to if clients just keep calling you from a problem

Ain't Broke don't Fix it... This is why In & Out has been around so long XD

Top 10 best tornadoes by Pecos Hank please he's a storm chaser with some of the best tornado footage online

that's why mcdonalds is trying to outsource the decision making to your own home with the app by encouraging people to order ahead and use their goofy ass coupons

If i remember correctly, all the controversy came from debunked claims in a vice hit piece.

The McDouble was created when I worked at McDonald’s it was created so we had a double cheeseburger type burger but they could cheap out and only give you one piece of cheese but now the dollar menu is non existent it should be done away with

Plus, they have really good lemonade and I mean really good

im the almost same with the doritos but with pringles, i only like the normal standard salt pringles, but its really hard to find some in my area because the shelves are just stocked with all sorts of fucky flavors that i have 0 interest in, make the normal one and sell it to me by the truckload and ill be happy

If you want mc ribs kip drop by in germany. Its a regular item here.

Are banks open on Sundays where you live?

Obviously it's just a front for Gustavo Fring's meth operation.

DRITOS

Where I live all the banks are closed on Sunday.

They are good at chicken sandwiches

The McRib is weird for me. McDonalds really nailed the hype train for it, because I'll get one when it's available to remind myself that it's just meh, realize it's still just meh, and then give a nod to their marketing team. Don't @ me, I'm not saying the McRib is any more meh than the rest of the McD's lineup. But the hype is real.

Chick-fil-A is a family owned company with Christian values and American values, wonder why they are "controversial" If twitter says something is "controversial" you should probably just assume that its quality and good, you'll be right more than wrong.

I don’t know what you’ve heard about Chick-fil-A but I’m willing to bet at least 90% of it is bullshit, I can’t say for certain of course but going off what I know of Chick-fil-A and having known several people that actually worked at one, it seems like they’re not only one of the highest quality fast food places but they also treat their employees far better than most, if not all others

They are good.

chickfila is great if anyone thinks otherwise kindly f off lol. One of the best restaurant chains out considering their food and wat they believe in.

Hey the MC.CHICKEN is good

Bojangles is better food and without any added Christian Nationalism. That’s an ingredient you definitely don’t want in a biscuit.

If you think Chick-fil-A's business model is good, you should look into Raising Canes. They're another chicken restaurant chain, open 7 days a week. But they don't do breakfast like Chick-fil-A does, they don't open until 10:30 am and their menu is even smaller. It's Chick-fil-A without all the religious bs

Just take the pickles off. Pickles dont belong on anything.

Its honestly too salty for me (high blood pressure runs in the family), and how they put money towards anti gay groups. Its the same reason I refuse to go to Hobby Lobby since they go against gay and women's rights.
