Bye-Bye Chick-Fil-A

Dear Chick-Fil-A,
We are not children. We are adults, parents of children. We understand rules, we set them ourselves. We also understand that rules sometimes have to be loosened a little depending on the situation. You are catering to families and children, you need to plan accordingly. We realize that the no food or drink policy in the play area is set for a reason. You are trying to keep it clean and avoid messes. We get that. But you must understand that it is not comfortable or even safe to leave food and drink just sitting on a table unsupervised. Also kids get thirsty. We invite you to explain to a 2 year old that we must put on our shoes, leave the play area, find a table in a now crowded restaurant and set everything down just for one supervised sip. Also we would appreciate an even application of the rules. Don't chide a mother and 2 year old for one sip, when a father and 6 year old have just walked in with drinks in hand.

So for now this mother and her child will not visit anymore. Fast food, even if it is chicken, is not the healthiest choice anyway and we need a play area that gets us.
