This past Thursday night, Kayley and I participated in our second Daddy/Daughter Date Night. This time the venue was Chick-fil-a. Now, you might be thinking...a fast food place for a date night? Really?
I was thinking the same thing.
However, it turned out to be one of the coolest experiences Kayley and I have had. First, we had made reservations a few weeks ago after seeing the promotion on Facebook. I just thought they might have some balloons and maybe an employee dressed up in a cow costume walking around the dining area.
It turned out to be a lot more than that...
When we arrived, we signed in and Kayley was given a pink rose (above). Then, we took a picture with the employee dressed up in a cow suit (fun job) before we headed inside for dinner. The restaurant was sectioned off so that we had a special area to dine. The tables were covered and had place settings and candles. The employees waited on us instead of the normal counter ordering. We had "starter" questions to ask each other. They played music and had a man playing the saxophone. There was a photo booth to take silly pictures. Kayley got free ice cream, a goody bag, and a tour of the kitchen. It was really over the top and I walked out of there paying $10.04.
In a day and age where the "family" has been attacked by societal changes, it is comforting to see an organization go out of their way to make something special happen. Imagine if more places offered this type of environment for parents and their children, children themselves, or just parents. HUGE props to manager Doug Pugh and the entire staff at Chick-fil-a.
