I worked at Chick-Fil-A for a year or so in high school. One of the ones in a free standing building in the middle of a parking lot of a much larger shopping center- bordering the interstate. A group of 6-7 of us, INCLUDING the General Manager, were big gamers.

At the time, Call of Duty releases were all the rage. The night of the Modern Warfare 2 release, we all closed up at 10pm, invited a few of our friends, and brought in our monitors (mostly 40inch TVs) and Xboxes. We set them all up on the Chick-Fil-A tables and booths and made several batches of Chick-fil-A nuggets and fries. We played 6v6 from about 11:00pm - 4:00am.

I remember thinking how ridiculous it must have looked from the interstate to see a Chick-Fil-A lit up with 12 screens inside through those translucent shades at 2:00 in the morning on a weekday.

That is one of the greater memories of my childhood. It delights me just to think about it!
