The only Church's in our area is the old-fashioned type, very little
seating and mostly drive-through or walk-up service. Does a booming
business.

If it wasn't ten miles from home I would buy chicken from them as
Popeye's is too salty to suit me.

Back in the Sixties I made a little extra money as an armed guard for a
Church's in a bad part of town. Got stuck up so many times they finally
shut it down. that was after I quit working part-time for them. Not to
many folks try to stick up a chicken stand with a man with a pistol and
a pump shotgun standing guard behind the counter.
