The Chick-fil-A in Yes, The OTP

March 9, 2009

So, Andrew, I did really go outside the perimeter today for a closing in Kennesaw. On my way, I stopped at the Chick-fil-A on Barrett Parkway. Let me just say this experience was a bit surreal. First, I walk in and go to wash my hands in the ladies room, and there I find, not just toilets and a sink, but mouthwash, fresh plants and flowers, lotion, tampons (if needed) and air freshener. What? Where am I? Am I in a 4 star restaurant? No, I am at the friggin Chick-fil-A.

I am ordering at the counter where everyone is smiling like crazy because they seem to enjoy their job so much, and then as I get my food, a gentleman, Ralph Stephens, offers me a fork for my coleslaw, then offers to take my tray to a table outside and tries to get napkins for me. Jesus. He and I chatted, and he indeed is the owner of this fine establishment. This guy ain’t fooling around. This little chain location rocks. I did notice that for once, a Chick-fil-A was not playing contemporary Christian rock. In fact, he was playing oldies but goodies. I had often wondered if the franchises had to play Christian rock, but Ralph told me no. Good to know.

Anyway, if you are ever at the Target on Barrett Parkway, stop in to visit Ralph and his fabulous restaurant - and certainly make time to wash your hands in the “powder room.”

The mouthwash (small cups are provided of course) in the ladies restroom in the Chick-fil-A.

Yes, I love that Chic-Fil-A for the same reasons. The restroom feels cozy, the employees are friendly, and the music is great! Coming from an era where a great radio station was “it”, I forgot about satellite radio is now the latest craze and inquired about the radio station. What a laugh that was. Nevertheless, the music was just that good.
