Chick-fil-A’s Peppermint Chocolate Chip Milkshake is a limited-time holiday flavor. The milkshake will be available until January 31. Chick-fil-A invited me in for a demo to their East Cobb – Sprayberry location to see the process. They had expert shake-maker Susanna on hand to make my milkshake.

Step 1 – Add sweetened cream and fill glass approximately 1/4 full.
Step 2 – Add a couple scoops of peppermint / chocolate chip mixture.
Step 3 – Add Chick-fil-A’s hand spun ice cream and mix.
Step 4 – Add whip cream and a maraschino cherry on top.

The Peppermint Chocolate Chip milkshake is indeed yummy. I talked to Sprayberry store owner, Scott Reed, and he says their milkshakes have been wildly popular since being added to the menu. Chick-Fil-A gave me several complimentary coupons to try them out. ~~If you’d like to try one out, email me with your address and I’ll snail mail you a couple coupons.~~ Coupons are all gone!

Chick-Fil-A, milkshake

AMEN, SISTER!!! Thank you for this awesome commentary! Having been a waiter in my early twenties for 3 years, I find these stupid tip jars to be offensive to the profession of wait service. I think it’s audacious and it’s all I can do to restrain myself when I see them at a self-service restaurant and drive-thru window. Drive-thru? Tip jar??!!! Are you kidding me? How did this get so out of hand?

My lady friend and I just returned from a new burger spot on the West side of Atlanta. We overpaid for an average (albeit “Organic”) burger. Next to the register? Their very own BRANDED tip jar. I wanted to barf in the damn thing.

Tip jars assume we don’t need good service. They assume we serve ourselves and then pay over and above the cost of the item we purchase.

As I said, I spent a three years waiting tables. If I get even average service, it’s 20%. But it has to be earned. Less than average and that waitperson would be lucky to get 15%.

I agree. Tips are a gesture of appreciation for service. I don’t have a tip jar on my desk at my damn job. And until I do, and the staff at Starbucks comes to fill it up, they won’t be getting any tips from me.
