we need something. Obama is gonna have to come off of more money if he wants up to keep up with Bigchic prices. 10 bucks for a order of buffalo strips, tea and an extra ranch dressing. It was 5.35 not too long ago. Surely the price of chicken and fries hasnt doubled.

I can't tell a difference in my weekly check, still looks the same but doesn't go as far. By the way Bush was Pres. for 8 years dumb@ss.

It's obvious you represent the type that put Obama in office. Folks that don't have a clue about politics, and who was in office for how long. Well, don't expect your freebies much longer. The change coming is that you will have to take your ass to work. I'm going to quit and set on my ass and draw one of those free checks. You will have to go to work and support me now.

Now put that change in your pipe a smoke it.

While you currently have the time hoping for your change and free handouts - why don't you pull your head out of your ass and go read a book about socialism and politics.

I would love to see Chick-fli-A in town all week!

I actually do not like their sandwiches and especially wouldn't be interested in old ones kept warm for lunch. But making money is making money these days so enjoy your overpriced lunch and I hope there is a health inspection done regularly to keep the trailer in check so nobody gets sick.

Chick-fil-A has an approved holding method for keeping the sandwiches hot and fresh for up to 2 hours. I can assure you that eating one of the sandwiches from the trailer kiosk is just as good as getting one from the actual locations.
As for the health inspections.. Bring it on! The temperatures are checked throughout the 2 hours that they are being sold and the trailer is cleaned and emptied each week after it is used.
You should stop by next Saturday and check them out!

So you are saying that they sold over 250 sandwiches in less than an hour and a half?
#5.1.1.1 Anonymous on 04/08/09 at 06:08 AM
The actual sales were only 160 sandwiches in 2 hours. 11:30-1:30. There was a 20 minute period where we ran out of sandwiches and were waiting on more to get there!
#5.1.1.1.1 Andrew Odom on 04/08/09 at 06:42 AM
Thank you so much for this correction. I still think 160 sandwiches is remarkable and I do appreciate this final tally.

I can't wait to see y'all again. My own sandwich hit the spot for lunch and I think I am becoming addicted to the lemonade!

Are they the same price? Please think about more days in Barnesville, I know alot of people would love it

A Chick-fil-A sandwich at a Chick-fil-A location is $2.75 plus tax (for a total of $2.94).
At the trailor kiosk a Chick-fil-A sandwich is $3.00 including tax.
Chick-fil-A is coming to Barnesville as a courtesy to the residents. They are in no way trying to inflate prices or add 'convenience' charges to the products.

They do have to cook and deliver them from Griffin ... correct?
#6 Andrew Odom on 04/08/09 at 06:41 AM
As of 12:15 when I conducted my brief interview with the staff on hand in the parking lot of Akin's they had already sold 115 sandwiches and were getting a second shipment which would make the total number 250.

Look at the only place to let chick-fil-a set up wonder what kick back akins recieved for there PARTICIPATION in this fiasco.We all know what money does it usually talks but their money walks all over lamar co.
