A certain wholesomeness, perhaps. Maybe even a sanctimoniousness. Then there’s the whole “my pleasure” thing, as opposed to “you’re welcome.” It all smacks of a certain white picket fence quality, garlanded with food that so many seem to love. You might think, then, that the chain wouldn’t go the way of its competitors, pandering to every new whim. Chick-fil-A’s menu, after all, is relatively brief. It doesn’t even bother opening on Sundays....
