Chick-fil-A awards man for accruing 500,000 loyalty points

While most people generally have their favorite go-to restaurants, a Chick-fil-A in Maine sees one man far more than most.

“My wife and I are both workaholics. We work long hours and neither of us cook. So, we came to Chick-fil-A once, and we just loved it,” loyal Chick-fil-A customer Craig Mason said.

The restaurant’s owner said Mason visits the location almost every day – sometimes more than once a day.

“Craig has been one of our very favorite guests,” owner Todd Schultz said.

Mason said he loves Chick-fil-A’s grilled chicken salads.

“They’re just fantastic, and it’s become just kind of a central part of our of our day-to-day life,” Mason said.

Mason made his first visit to the Bangor Chick-fil-A about a year after it first opened in 2016.

A year later, he downloaded their app.

Since then, he’s used hundreds of thousands of loyalty points on his orders, over 500,000 to be exact.

“There’s annual recognition that you can earn levels in, and when we started noticing by the end of January, it already had all the points to reach to maximum level for the year. That was kind of a sign that we must be coming here a lot,” Mason said.

By accruing 500,000 points, Mason has joined a club of less than 200 very loyal Chick-fil-A customers.

“He’s like, ‘Hey, I’m approaching 500,000 points,’ and I was like ‘You got to be kidding me.’ And so, sure enough, I went into our systems, and he was. I was like, ‘Well, we have to do something to recognize him,” said Schultz.

He and his wife were invited to the restaurant Monday where they were presented with a plaque.

He hung it in his home office where he spends a lot of time working as a professor.

I tried CFA once about ten years ago. Didn't impress me in the least. Never returned.

When they opened their first store in my area about 10 -15 years ago, there were big plans for wide-spread growth and dozens of convenient locations. So far they opened 3. No plans to open more.

Same with 'Sonic' - they were going to open about a dozen in the area. They opened one.

When I was a kid where I grew up Chick-fil-A only existed in Mall food courts so except for the occasional free sample I never actually had a Chick-fil-A sandwich. We never bought food at the mall except for the occasional Orange Julius and popcorn at the dollar theater.

Now there are free standing locations all over where I live and I still occasionally get it because I just get some weird hankering for it.

I think everyone who eats there is doing it out of group-think or they have vile politics. It's not as good as Wendy's or KFC.

Now I'm going to have to get some Chick-fil-A tomorrow. I usually just go for the waffle fries, but I love the sandwich, too.

by Anonymousreply 16November 30, 2024 4:50 AM

I used to get their salads all the time. Far better than any other fast food salad and with the right dressing it's good for the figure. And chick-fil-a is the only fast food place that is kept clean and has friendly employees in this day and age.

Yes, I was too lazy to make a fucking salad then. Sue me. I was taking care of my sick partner.

That being said, a plaque for 500,000 points is so fucking funny.

by Anonymousreply 17November 30, 2024 4:54 AM

I strongly disagree, r15. KFC used to be good but is now inedible. I don't think wendy's is very good either, but it's better than KFC.

As a millennial, I have a vague memory of having it at a mall and loving it, but they probably already had changed the recipe by then. At some point they were bought out and went cheap.

Absolutely not. Even back then, there used to be state laws that protected consumers from unpasteurized products. Well, gulp, at least California, my home state. What possible flavor benefit could a raw egg provide over a delightful, fake, tasty Orange froth?

In my area, we have a few Popeye's Chicken stores and they are in the most ghetto neighborhoods. Same with the Wendy's in my area - they're usually across the street from the Popeye's. So I'm not going to go out of my way to patronize located somewhere which I don't feel safe in.

by Anonymousreply 39November 30, 2024 2:12 PM

The problem with Popeye's is the employees. People keep praising popeyes and every time except one it's been dry as hell. I agree that theoretically the sandwich would be tastier (better spice recipe). But it's not. Chick fil a is never like that. It's always moist and at the right temp wherever one is. But of course experiences will vary. And it's best not to each too much of this stuff anyway.

R47 you can spend them on free food items. I think you can get small items for as low as 300 points and a meal for 1000 to 2000 points. They show your accumulated points for the year to see what level you will have (something like silver, gold, platinum,etc). The higher the level the more extra rewards (without points) you’ll receive from your local store.

I took my nephew to Arizona about ten years ago. In Flagstaff he saw a CFA and really wanted to eat there. I said, ok fine.

So we ate there. I know the gays run down the food but it’s actually pretty good. If it weren’t, the place wouldn’t have expanded so much.

While we were eating in there he asked me why I seemed reluctant to eat there. I thought I’d just be honest and told him about the company’s leadership. He stopped eating his sandwich.

Somewhere, someone hates me because I love to suck cock and keep my hole ready and willing almost 24/7, and I just can't worry about it or care any longer. I'm not going to stop sucking cock, and I'm still going to eat their chicken, so at best, it's a stalemate. No minds were changed on either side. And let's be honest, every major corporation probably has its hands in something offensive if you pull back the curtain. I don't even look behind the scenes at the companies I invest in.

So, r56, we are supposed to blame the company for what a shareholder does with his money?

At a certain point, one has to ask whether you are looking for a reason to be angry at a company because being angry gives you some satisfaction, not because the company is actually doing anything wrong.

Seems to me it is in our interest to patronize the company after it stopped making contributions to anti-gay organizations to demonstrate that being anti-gay is bad for business. If we’re going to punish them forever for their past behavior, why should they want to change?

I have no issues with people who eat there and people who don't. But, for the people who don't, do you also vet other companies and corporations? Do you also vet friends and family and colleagues to make sure they're voting and donating the "right" way? Do you cut them off if they don't?

R61, I never once said people must not eat there. I asked why they would, considering everything this company represents. But keep defending this bullshit company.

R74, why is it so hard to understand this company offends a very specific group of people and that it's understandable they wouldn't want to give them their business? It's complete nonsense to ask if we cut off people who don't vote the "right" way or any of the rest of it because of not wanting to give this particular establishment our money. You have a problem with gay people not wanting to buy chicken from an historically homophobic, Christian company? It's chicken after all.
