Is Chic-fil-A Conspiring with Your Spouse?

How big of a role do you want a fast-food place to play in your life?
I like Chic-fil-A. I like their food, they are generally well organized when you go through their drive through, plus, their employees are polite.

‘I need a number four, hold the Q-Tip.
If he’s hesitant would a couple more chicken strips and a large order if waffle fries convince him to take the test?
If he was proven to be the father, would he get a T shirt that said, “Pappa Nugget?”
How many crew members would take to get that t shirt on a reluctant pappa?
When I go out for food, I don’t want surprises.
Generally speaking, going out for fast food shouldn’t be a life changing event. Most of the surprises I get when I go out for fast food is when they get my order wrong. I don’t want anything more traumatic than that.
