Trilby told me that she read in the paper, that the first 100 people who lined up outside the new Chick-Fil-A in town, would receive a year’s worth of free chicken. Obviously I was game. I even weaseled a few more ladies to join in on the fun.
So bright and early we went….
AZ is saving a place in line. We were told that it’s rare that 100 people are lined up first thing in the morning. But since we were number 160ish…I guess we had bad info. But in our favor, luckily they were doing a lottery system.
The third sleeping beauty showed up (with sunglasses on like Beth!).
Here are the 909ers who told us that we didn’t just get the money and run….but instead….there was a lottery. If we got chosen, then we got to spend the next 24 hours camping out until 6 am the next morning to retrieve our prize.
WHAT?
Trilby — you forgot to mention that small detail.
Here is the CFA representative who confirmed the bad news.
The real screw job was when Summer opted out of the lottery and got a free coupon for showing up in the first place. I made AZ stay with me because I am always up for festivities. But mid way through, I had a vision of Jim Zimm saying, “Yikes! You are waiting in line for something you don’t even want. Get home Adrienne so I can get to work. And what do we need Chick-Fil-A coupons for anyway? Buy me a tub of licorice, and I can survive a year!” So I initiated the leave, when the lady on the loud speaker said that if we weren’t prepared to stay, that we could turn in our tickets. So we took the walk of shame and turned our tickets in to get our free sandwich like Scummy. But instead, the CFA officials just said a discreet thank you and sent us packing. WHAT? NOTHING I know for sure that everyone who didn’t get picked in the lottery surely wasn’t leaving empty handed. So in the end….out of 175 people….only two walked away with nothing!
Miss Zimm and Yours Truly.
