The irony is this Chik-Fil-A customer would’ve not gained an advantage getting their food sooner by trying to cut in the first place.

Chik-Fil-A customer and Redditor /u/kcassidy3 shared headshaking security cam footage from this Sanford Chik-Fil-A from earlier last week (June 30, 2025) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing an idiot driver in their GMC pickup try to cut in line at a merge point, only to cause thousands of damage to his own vehicle.

Check out the security cam footage courtesy of Chik-fil-A below with the original Reddit thread linked here.

The incident happened at Sanford, NC’s only Chick-fil-A at 3224 NC-87 (exact location on Google Maps linked here.)

To put the incident in perspective, here’s an overhead shot of this Chick-fil-A’s drive-thru.

As shown in the video and the area highlighted in red, vehicles enter either of the two available lanes and order.

From there, both lanes merge into one lane.

Every vehicle does this; it’s literally labeled Merge Point on the video, too.

“This is the merge point. They have the lane ahead coned off to allow people to pull out of the main lane when they get their food,” OP clarified and re-clarified multiple times in the comments.

As is the idea, vehicles take turns, one vehicle slotting in front of another.

OP in the blue Hyundai has finished ordering and is clearly half a vehicle length in front of the driver in the white GMC pickup.

Logic would dictate that OP slots behind the black Dodge Challenger first.

But no, the driver in the GMC pickup doesn’t want that to happen, and brute forces his way forward at the same time OP inches forward.

Seeing a crash can happen, and as shown in the video, OP stops while the driver in the GMC continues forward.

But, since he’s in a large truck and can’t see out very well, he collides with OP’s Hyundai.

…I think he figured his big boy truck would go unscathed, but my little trooper Hyundai has a near invisible scratch on the dark plastic section above the wheel, and he scraped half the paint off the corner of his front bumper.”

Crash aside, and even if he did manage to cut, he’d gain no advantage.

“I think the funniest part is that they bring the food to the car, it doesn’t matter who’s in front, so he did this for nothing,” /u/Tjones2219 commented.

“He immediately screamed at me for hitting him while his young daughter sat in the car looking anxious as all hell.”

Seeing that there was a crash, the Chick-fil-A employees wrote down OP’s number and forwarded her the video evidence for insurance purposes.

It sounds like the situation, at least from an insurance standpoint, might mostly be done.

“I did nothing wrong, and my insurance company agrees. Thanks though,” OP responded to a comment implying she was at fault, too.

“The cop said with NC laws, most insurance will prob say pay for your own damages bc it’s a parking lot and the damage between both cars was estimated under 1k. My car is fine. I only snagged the video in case he decides to try to get my insurance to pay for his small-ween truck to get fixed.”

Everyone needs to be more patient.

While you think you’re saving time and getting ahead by cutting, oftentimes, you really aren’t.

And, in this case, if the scratch is as bad as OP says it is, it’ll take, at the very least, a couple of hundred dollars to get a detailer to buff it out.

Even if you DIY it, there goes the better part of your Sunday afternoon.

Oh yeah, so much time savings.
