Chick-fil-A just fixed one of customers' top complaints
Business Insider ^ | 6/1/2016 | Hayley Peterson

Chick-fil-A is rolling out a new app that will let customers avoid waiting in line at the register.

The app, called Chick-fil-A One, will allow customers to order and pay for their food in advance, then pick it up at a counter designated for online orders.

That's big news for fans of Chick-fil-A, which is typically slammed with customers during regular meal times, making long lines inevitable.

The app will also allow users to customize and save their favorite orders.

Michael Lage, a veteran of Facebook and Google who helped develop the app, says it will change how customers, particularly parents with young children, experience and interact with Chick-fil-A.

"I have a 2-year-old daughter, and I can't imagine interacting with Chick-fil-A without the app anymore," he said, commenting on the difficulty of managing toddlers while waiting in line.

To celebrate the launch of the app, Chick-fil-A is giving away free chicken sandwiches to everyone who downloads it between June 1 and June 11.

Customers will get their choice of a free original, spicy, or grilled chicken sandwich when they sign up.

Well, it could be worse. I walked into the KFC a few weeks ago, ordered two small breasts, a left wing, and two large thighs, and the lady behind the counter said she wouldn't serve a Clinton supporter, she was voting for Bernie.

You're lucky you didn't get what you ordered all that fat and bile would have killed you. If you order the Bernie Plate it's extra, extra crispy, but they send someone else the bill.

OMG! I managed to raise THREE KIDS without an app to show me how to feed them! However did I do it


Well, obviously you did not. No one managed to survive childhood prior to the I-Phone and the Obama administration.

We’re all dead.

What’s going to keep disgruntled faggies from using the app to spam the order desk with hundreds of orders that never get picked up?
