Sometimes, reading stuff here just makes me go WTF???
Wow, this almost makes Chick-fil-A seem like a non-bigoted 21th century hospitality establishment. Only almost though.
Chick-fil-A employees are the most polite out of all the fast-food establishments I've frequented. The tables are always spotless, and the food is (I'll concede, this is subjective) damn good.

I'm guessing there's a gap between place-your-order and receive-your-order where you sit while your order is prepared. So, if the place is busy, the person immediately behind you has already placed their order at the time you receive and pay for yours.

You're the one being cynical... It's just a bias, people don't comment if the only thing they have to say is "oh that's great".
Am curious how this works. What amount do you pay forward or do you swipe your credit card for an amount?
You then just ask for your bill to include theirs as well. Or if you're part of a chain then just state that you'd like to pay their bill instead.
Makes you think about how much fast food is consumed in the US. I like a McBurger myself once in a while, but people eat altogether too much of that junk over there. Nice article though: people in the US, especially outside the big cities, are often very kind. My Italian wife is always pleasantly surprised by this when we're there.
