A CFA is opening here this week and people have lost their minds! They are camping out there! I never understood the draw.

Say What?
I mean their chicken isn't bad, but 100% not something I'd wait more than 10 minutes at a drive-thru for, let alone camp out overnight!

People are losing their clucking minds.
And you know that in less than 6 months from now, those same people will be moaning about how there's too much traffic here and we're becoming just like Northern VA. Then, they'll resume their push for a Trader Joe's.

It's as if they've discovered indoor plumbing. It's chicken tenders FFS. You can get them at every gas station and convenience store, and half the other fast food joints. I remember when they opened the Steak & Shake down here (daughter worked there). The line went from the exit onto 95 all the way down rt 1 south until you got to Cosner's Corner and it was like that for 6 months. Hamburgers and fries. GET A GRIP FOLKS!
The only places that have remained highly in demand, at or over capacity, for years has been Olive Garden and some of the CFAs. The new CFA over across from the new VA hospital being built is usually busy but not the traffic jamming lines you see elsewhere.
How someone can justify hours in line to get a burger and fry, or a chicken and waffle fry, is beyond me. I don't like lines anywhere I go whether I'm on foot or in my car.

When we lived in 24501 they opened Lburg's very first Popeyes. It was the mother of all shit shows if I've ever seen one. Put it tight smack on the corner of a fairly major intersection which is at the edge of the mall and liberty u properties. And get this...... I shittyyou not there was a KFC on the opposite corner and God's Chicken one block from another corner.
lasted about a month until you might go by and see no more than 3 cars in line at Popeyes or KFC but the CFA was always rolling all day every day.

Note the CFA that moved RIGHT NEXT DOOR to KFC. It used to be where the Baymont is on the lower right of the map. They did this a couple of months after the Popeyes opened. I know KFC was like WTF?!

Ooo, Popeye’s. Now that, I can get into. Love their popcorn shrimp. And the biscuits! Yummy. But nope - won’t camp out for it.

Won't camp out for any restaurant. Eventually the crowds will die down.
The CFA/KFC things sounds almost like Subway, where it seems like there is one on every corner.
As for Popeye's, I was never a huge fan. But when I was pregnant with my eldest, I developed an intense craving for it. I'd call my co-workers right before our lunch break and sing them the jingle. They all wanted to know why I was so desperate to go, since I would throw it back up anyway (had horrible morning, afternoon and evening sickness). But I NEEDED that cajun spice!

Hahahaha! It's the vegan chicken sandwich!
I read somewhere that they have a test restaurant where you can try their new menu items in advance. One had a burger. Wha? Their ENTIRE brand is built around chicken - how is this even being remotely considered?

Not vegan because cheese. Vegetarian, but not vegan. (This is why I refuse to be vegan. Can’t give up cheese!)

Forgot about that - cheese is life itself. I shall never leave it's goodness!
