Wife and I stopped at the one in Gonzales while driving around with the kids to look at Christmas lights and she wanted a peppermint shake. We were told that corporate made them stop selling it. When questioned further, the kid said he didn’t know exactly why but that they even stopped sending the shake base to make them. We got our food and left then called another one to ask. They lied and told us their machine was broken ( ). If CFA can be affected, we’re all doomed.

Where? I wonder if that one just hadn’t run out of theirs yet because the guy at Gonzales told us corporate halted it for all locations. Maybe he was full of shite though.

Costs have risen to the point of dropping margins below 30% in the fast food industry. That’s not sustainable and many franchisees have chosen to forgo the costs associated with offering holiday specials because they’re not making that money back on secondary items purchased.

It’s because costs have gone up.

You can’t stay open without profit.

Restaurants will cut things on the menu, cut labor, and raise menu prices to stay open.

Did you ask for another flavor?

Maybe it was just the peppermint

Let me get this drink: you didn't get a peppermint shake at Chick-fil-A and this prompted you to pick up the phone and call another Chick-fil-A to investigate? Jesus, how fat are you?

The peppermint shake is definitely available, they will run until Jan 10-ish. Each store will have them as long as there is supply. With the way supply chain is these days, getting even regular items is a crap shoot.

Their milkshake machine was broken?!? That is like saying a four letter word in a CFA.
