I visited store number 373 on 10/27/06 and because of what I experienced, I do not plan to return. I asked the person that waited on me if I could have the next batch of waffle fries that came out and I told her that I didn't mind waiting for them. She told the people in the back that I wanted to wait for the next batch of waffle fries.

The team leader walked over to her and said something that was apparently displeasing because the team leader started shaking her head no. I heard the team leader say that she wasn't going to do it and then she went in the back to talk to the fry cooks. Less then a minute later, the person that was originally waiting on me, hesitantly gave me my order; her actions seemed to say that she was doing something that she didn’t want to do. Puzzled by the events that transpired, I asked her if the fries were fresh. She said that they hadn't been there that long, all the while she was very hesitant. I tasted them, and although they were very hot, they were soggy and greasy which is unlike Chick-fil-A fries. While all this is going on, another person in a different line had asked for fresh waffle fries, which he received. I know this because he was actually a friend of mine. The person that originally served me kept watching me, as I tasted my fries. I asked my friend to taste his fries, which tasted different. Before I could say anything, the person who originally served me said that she would get me some fresh fries because she didn’t want me to get sick.

It is my belief, although I didn’t hear her say it, that the team leader on duty, told the fry cooks to reheat the fries that were already there. There was no reason for the team leader to go in the back and tell the fry cooks anything, especially since she was not the one taking my order.

    Wow. All of this over an order of fries. In all seriousness, getting old or possibly bad food is never cool, but you make this sound like an episode of the X-FILES.

    Although you seem to have a legitimate gripe, I'm not sure this is the forum for it. I'd call corporate, maybe you'll get a coupon or something.

    Maybe this person isn't telling the whole story. I find it hard to believe they wouldn't honor his request for fresh fries??? Even thought I don't eat chicken, I have had those delicious waffle fries, and have never been disappointed. It seems this person just has feelings and is assuming they were against him. I also have to say, I couldn't read this whole complaint. Two pages dedicatd to the fries, well I just found boring :p

    That should read "even though". I type too fast sometimes when I am in a rush.

    I don't know, it sounds like the difference in freshness is noticeable with these fries and the poster's account of what happen seems plausible. As far as bringing the story here to this forum, isn't that what the site is about?

    Quite frankly myzzlisa, with what you've stated, waffle fries tossed back in the cooking oil would be the least of my concern. I've heard too many war stories on this site about what happens when customers are unhappy with the meal and have it sent back, object to what they have been served or insist on waiting for a fresh batch of whatever.

    The original individual who took your order seemed to have a problem. That makes me wonder exactally what was going on.

    Chick-fil-A IS a religion-based store, religious people are allowed to lie to other folk as long as they apologise to their (the liars) God afterwards.

    So Joe who do you apologize to?

    There are no microwaves at Chick-fil-A, so you mean they had been refried. This would have made them crispier; not soggier. I really doubt the team leader was making any rude comments or suggestions about your simple request. You're probably just paranoid. Better luck next time.

    I work for a Chick-fil-A and honestly, it isn't that hard for us to cook fresh fries. 2 and a half minutes and there out of the fryer, glistening with oil, hot and ready. If I were you, contact the operator of that store, and tell him the actions that the team leader did. That should've never been done. And putting fries back in the fryer is against our stores policy, as it contaminates the oil.
