Allow me to introduce to you the Saudi food restaurant chain called Al Baik

What happens if prayer time comes while you're still in line?

Their women not only dress like ninjas, but like the ninja are also masters of stealth.

Step over and sneak past those in line who knelt toward the Kaaba and hope no one sees you doing so.
There is a more reasonably-sized chicken place nearby that has better food and also serves it up quickly despite being busy all the time. So I have my own "Al-Baik" of sorts, except a lot more expensive.
I can't believe how huge that place is. You guys "super-sized" both the meals AND the restaurant itself.

It's good when members post their beloved brands in posts.
Tis not merely advertising to sing the praises of outstanding products.

I remember as a lad, we were having a new very large diesel generator fitted in a barn, to supply electricity both to the house and yard buildings.
As is was being bolted down to its concrete base, the fitter took out a vast King Dick spanner and proceeded to swing on it ... whilst singing its praises....... In mid swing there was a loud crack and he went flying into the back wall. The much lauded spanner had snapped at the head.
It's complicated and detailed. Everything is managed that some time before the prayer a warning is given, telling customers that orders are only for take out, cooking stops and what's available is listed and announced, etc. I personally never had problems with it, and I'm a faithful customer. The shown cases are rare actually, but it still does get seriously crowded in a way that does not cause any problems in this regard. Also, customers know the risk and attend ready for it.
It's complicated that only a local like me would really know how it feels
Edit:
Some places don't say a thing if the customers are in side and ordered already. They just close the place until prayer is over then open again.

Actually, look close in the pics and there are some women around the upper right corners

Is it any where near that gym? If it is, I'd understand why
Yeah, this one is different. It never ceases to amaze me even after all these years! No other place here comes even closer to it.
The gym is closer to work, the chicken place is closer to home. I tend to visit the chicken place more.Is it any where near that gym? If it is, I'd understand why
lol.

At lunchtime do they have a loudspeaker that announces the call to chicken?

The call to chicken?
No seriously... what's that?
It's like how mosques play the call to prayer over loudspeakers, except chicken.
Dude, I'm laughing and I don't even know what I'm laughing for! You're not making any sense

OMG @Smart_Guy ...How long does it take to get through that line in the picture. Being impatient, I would go through the teeny line at KFC and have their reconstituted mashed potato powder
Here is another thing I wonder about. In Saudi Arabia, about 25% of the people are foreign workers/non-national immigrants. Are they the ones that do most of the manual labor for this great chain (making a better life for themselves than in their home countries).

I honestly never been in such big lines. Those pics are taken in two rare occasions; one in a Hajj season (once a year and stays for 3 days only) and the other in an opening of the only branch in another city (I think they closed haha). I run away from such cases
But from the looks of it, getting done there could take no less than two hours (being optimistic here). In the daily normal rush hours, it takes me like 15-30 minutes. I consider it a huge accomplishment if I pass in less than that.Yes, non nationals are most of the staff. But there are lots of locals working with them, and I noticed the difference for sometime now.
Hmmm.....I happen to have some King Dick sockets.
I'll be careful with'm.
