Married 63 years, Bobbie and Richard dined together twice a week at their local Chick-Fil-A. Staff soon regarded the couple as beloved, elderly Chick-Fil-A regulars.

With their established routine, employees remembered their order and made sure to fix their food just the way they liked it. They set the couple's table with flowers on special occasions. They even started picking up the tab from time to time.

"Recently my grandaddy's health hasn't been great," the couple's granddaughter, Lindsay Naramore McGuffey, explained on Facebook. "He is overcoming a lot, making tons of progress, and is doing much better, but they haven't been to Chick-Fil-A in months."

Timing it to match when the elderly Chick-Fil-A regulars usually arrived at the restaurant, some of the staff made a special delivery. They drove all the way out to the couple's house with their "usual" order, all the way down to their preferred dressings and how many nuts they liked on their salads...
