Yes, the 1/2 cheese slice is on the fish sammich, but I don't think
the burgers have been robbed yet?

The chicken nuggets are consistently decent, better than Wendy's or
BK's by far.

But Chick-Fil-A makes the best nuggies.

Point is, they have critical mass, market share, and most of all
CONSISTENCY.

Love it or hate it - the product is identical from coast to coast.
