Opportunities Are Everywhere, Even at Chick-Fil-A

by MoneyNing · 11 comments

The title sounds more like an advertisement for careers at Chick-Fil-A or something but I assure you that this is not!  I went to the fast food restaurant today and I saw a sign that says “Thursday Appreciation, buy the cow for $4.99 and bring it in Thursdays for a free Original Chicken Sandwich”.

At first, I ignored the offer but after buying my meal and eating at the place, I noticed that EVERYBODY had a few cows with them.  I went back to the cashier and chatted with her a bit and found out that they have sold a ton of those cows because of the promotion and that they are really giving away free original sandwiches.

This really sounds like a great deal because I can get one chicken sandwich per week for a one time fee of $4.99.  Heck, I can probably go there twice a day to get 2.  Maybe I can even just walk out the door and come back in to get my second one (and third and so on).  I didn’t really ask if this was possible or allowed but I’m sure there are tons of ways around this if I really tried.

When I got home, I went to their website and I did not see anything like that on the page so this promotion might be from the owner of that particular restaurant.  The average number of cows people had were 2 (to get 2 chicken sandwiches).  Would you take this deal and buy a few cows of your own?  How many would you buy?

Hello Moneyning, so did you buy one? Maybe you should get one and take a picture to put on your site! Maybe you can ask for more sandwiches from Chick-fil-A since you help them promote the event! : )
Happy Friday!

Emily: No I didn’t get one because my fiancee and I were talking and we forgot until we got home!

Yeah I should ask for more sandwiches. I can certainly add a link to their site if they want :)

David: It’s actually quite good. I’m not sure if you like fast food anymore but check it out if you still do!

I would definitely buy the cow, and keep it in the car! There is a ChikFilA right by my office!

Cheryl: Do you have the same offer or was it store specific?
