A fast food chicken sandwich chain recently opened a store relatively close to me. You couldn't get near it for months. The drive thru line stretched around the building and the lobby was always filled.
I was on a quick shopping trip last week, and I was shocked by what I saw. The place was practically deserted, and lunch time was fast approaching. Apparently, the novelty has worn off.
I should add that I am familiar with this chain's products, having stopped at other stores, in other states, while on vacation. I was a fan.
I breezed through the drive thru, got my sandwich, potatoes, and drink, and circled back to the parking area to dine. The soda was mostly ice, overwhelmingly so. I did enjoy the chicken sandwich and fries.
As I munched away, one thought dominated my mind. It wasn't as good as I remembered. The place where the little red haired girl works makes a better chicken sandwich.
