But help is on the way, thanks in part to Chick-fil-a:

Shoutout to @ChickfilA for feeding everyone who's stuck at the #ATLairport.
Also shoutout to everyone at the ATL airport who will now be able to say they were served fresh Chick-fil-A on a Sunday.

The most frustrating part is that in my walk across two terminals, it was totally unclear who, if anyone, was in charge. There was no one to tell us how or where to exit. Law enforcement presence only after I had gotten near the exit.

It is SWELTERING inside the airport. No water or fThere are people sleeping on baggage claim belts. The line for delta support is VERY long.
