Want to know why? Because of the Clemson City Council.
Mar 25, 2021, 3:51 PM

The double loop drive through the drive thru is city demanded, as is the exit with Zaxby's. Did you know of those little 1 gallon shrubs out front the city made them take 1 out because they only approved 18, not 19. Nice City Council has their priorities in line.
BTW - the "no inside dining" is a corporate directive.

There’s a lot to like about CFA but their traffic Jams are becoming a real problem. The one on hwy 29 in Spartanburg is a sh*tshow.
I can understand their position on the takeout only being good for sales but I don’t think that’s what’s best for the consumer.

I was trying to get into Kohl's in Anderson for an Amazon refund and discovered too late Chick fi La is on the other side of the intersection, which means during lunch time, it is an absolute mess. I was at least smart enough to use the intersection getting out of the Kohl's because otherwise I would have been trying to make a left until hell froze over.

If you find CFA traffic that much of an issue, could you maybe run your errands in that area on Sunday afternoons?

Yes. We’re all just fighting to survive. Eyes rolling.
Bet money the reason they haven’t opened back up is money.
The cars backing up in the road has got to be dealt with. It causes wrecks and headaches for those who could careless about Chick Fila. Police should start ticketing drivers who do it for impeding traffic or write cite Chick-fil-A if they refuse to alleviate the problem.
Or start eating at local owned restaurants that didn’t have the capital that these large corporations had when China shut us down.

So help me understand...
Y’all are griping because a restaurant has really good food and people “choose “ to get in line and wait for it? Lines have always been bad but obviously worse now with no in person dining.

Every other restaurant around has a dining room open

Chick Fil A figured out day 1 that not having the dining room open and not offering refills was good for the bottom line for them.

Doesn't matter. They should not be allowed to have traffic block a major highway. Its ridiculous. On lay a matter of time before someone is injured or killed because of the traffic issue. Someone will own them or the city. The city had a flashing sign out earlier but did not enforce it. That is proof they realized it was an issue and failed to act. The time is coming.

No, we're griping because they have really good food and people who haven't chosen to get in line are stuck trying to make it through the 123/133 intersection because people trying to get into chick fil a have traffic blocked up all the way back to ace hardware.

Most of them have lots of business and traffic for sure.

The one in Gaffney is the same way. The only good one I have seen is in Steelecreek, and that's because the line up down beside the Best Buy, which borders 49. Not in the way.

Lakedude you must be close. I’m in the TC/FM area myself. Fact is Chic Filet has hands down the best fast food combined with the best customer service IMO. Actually fixing to add an additional drive thru onto the one in FM. I understand the busy times and avoid that the area during peak times. Kudos to them in my opinion. They are def doing something right. Burger King right down the road may not have but one car in their drive thru.

Wish my life was so good that all I had to do is gripe about a successful fast food business.
Don’t like it ... don’t go. Don’t like the traffic ... use Waze and find the next best alternative route.
Problem solved and everyone SHOULD be happy!

comment more so than "successful fast food" dig. Empire Pizza is in the strip mall behind the ChicFila that they're referring to in Fort Mill.

I've tried boycotting it in protest but I don't have the will power.
Other locations allow you to order on the app then park in a designated spot while they bring it to you - why can't this location?

if the line of a restaurant is out to the road I am going to eat somewhere else. Fast food is not worth waiting in a line out to the road.

Bingo! Someone who makes sense.
If you are going to have to sit in the road to get into a place then MOVE ON. Any Bozo should know it's very dangerous to just sit stopped in a major roadway and should be pulled by the police and have their license taken away.

Well, there are 2 problems with that:

1) Police are scared to do their jobs correctly for fear of winding up on the news. 2) People only care about themselves. Common sense, manners, and consideration for others are all loooonnng long gone.

Most followers of the cult known as ChicFil-A don't know there are other places that sell fast food.

The more it attracts the CFA cult.

its good. even better than most fast food joints, but its fast food.....not worth waiting in a fifty car line for. But I prefer a burger over Chicken though, so I go to hardies or wendy's. yeah they are going to throw it at me and treat me like crap, but its pretty good fast food burger so I let it slide.

There are others but I always keep in mind the number of times that CFA owners have fed travelers stranded during snow storms, closed on Sundays, and when they were open, had a small table set alone in respect for veterans that sacrificed for all of us.
