Regardless of what generation you’re from, you have probably spent your fair share of time at the drive-through line of your favorite fast-food restaurant. That drive-through line may be different, depending on your age.
To narrow things down even further, if you happen to be from Generation Z, then your restaurant of choice is more than likely Chick-fil-A.
This information came to light, thanks to a study of 14,500 teenagers across 47 states in the United States. The Piper Sandler study tried to find out what the favorite fast food restaurant was for that generation.
Of course, Chick-fil-A was not the only restaurant to make the list. Starbucks was also a favorite at 12% reporting, followed by Chipotle at 7%, McDonald’s at 6%, and Olive Garden at 3%.
Although Chick-fil-A came out on top as a favorite, they weren’t necessarily the speediest fast food restaurant out there. According to Click2Houston, a separate poll conducted by QSR Magazine shows that they were the slowest drive-through service in the United States.
If you want something fast from the drive-through you should opt for Taco Bell because they were fastest out of all drive-throughs.
Chick-fil-A has also seen its fair share of problems, thanks to videos. According to Local Memphis, somebody was recently working at Chick-fil-A and was captured on video spitting into the batter. Two people were fired as a result, but the damage to Chick-fil-A’s reputation had already been done..
Accoridng to the news outlet, Chick-fil-A said that they identified the team member and the one filming and both of them were immediately terminated. They also mentioned that they have strict standards and high expectations for food safety and the behavior of team members.
They want on to say: “You trust us to deliver you safe, fresh food with a team who genuinely cares about you. We fell short of those expectations here.”
