Not my experience at all. I've been to several in Ohio and Michigan and it's the same experience I have in the south. Great service, great food and always busy.
Im in ohio and there are dudes directing traffic in the parking lot of the one i go to

There is a reason a movie was made about White Castle and it isn't because the food is "good" but it does scratch a certain itch occasionally.

I've never had a problem with them here in Indiana. I usually go to the one in the mall outside Indianapolis.

Right. And if we had more than 2 locations west of all the Rockies I could enjoy it occasionally on a late night too.
Given the chance to go to a White Castle or a Chick-fil-a once a month...I'd not choose CFA

Every time I visit a Chick-Fil-A I am continually amazed how good they operate. I've been a manager in the casual dining segment and I can tell you how hard it is for them to be so consistently fantastic. I've had zero issues outside of the South but I'm sure the staffs down in the South are more friendly ect. They are so far ahead of any other fast food chain in terms of overall experience and taste.
That is exactly what I experienced at Chick-fil-A in the South. It is exactly the opposite here. 30+ min wait time in the drive through and got my easy order wrong. . Go inside and it might be worse, even dirty tables, which I never saw in the South.

I don't smoke, sir.
I said the food isn't worth the wait. It's not. It's typical chicken sandwich fast food with DMV wait times. I pass on Chick-fil-a, and I pass on grass.
I think you've had anomalous experiences at both your ChickFil's in the south and the one you have now.

It's a franchise. There are bound to be differences where a franchisee doesn't quite get it. Further, it's a franchise that builds you zero equity. If you quit, you walk away with nothing. Corporate owns everything. Also, a franchisee must work at the business and can have no other businesses at all, including another Chick-fil-a. Each store pulls in quite a bit of money and you can make a descent salary, but that's what it is. Buy a franchise to buy a job. It's one of the worst franchises all in terms of building wealth.

Sounds like a management issue to me.
Nope, I think it is a regional issues. Multiple Chick-fil-A in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois, not just one place.
How would I word that>
Dear Chick-Fil-A your restaurant suck up here, please make them more like they are in the South!
