| 0:19.5 | This headline caught my eye recently. A Chick-fil-A manager saved a drive-through COVID-19 |
| 0:26.1 | vaccination clinic after traffic backed up. When the computer system handling vaccine registrations |
| 0:32.4 | went down in Mount Pleasant South Carolina, hundreds of people were left waiting for hours. |
| 0:38.3 | The mayor told reporters that he called a local Chick-fil-A manager, who showed us how to do it |
