Christmas-fil-A
MOTUS A.D. ^ | 12-18-17 | MOTUS

Eater, a food and restaurant review blog, is pretty much thumbs down on Chick-fil-A.

eater chickfila

Not that they have anything against their food, it’s their lack of SJW credentials, their failure to conform to correct group-think with respect to same sex marriage that earned them the distinction of being voted off the food island.

I’m here to report that the increasingly ubiquitous chain serves a pretty good fast-food breakfast, a pretty great frozen coffee, and a pretty average chicken sandwich.

I’m also here to report that it’s the only top 10 quick-service restaurant that doesn’t mention sexual orientation in its online equal opportunity statement, and that it holds a zero rating on LGBT benefits and worker protections from a prominent advocacy group. McDonald’s scored 100.

Or as Twitchy noted at the time,

The website “Eater” reviewed Chick-fil-A and came to the conclusion that “you probably shouldn’t eat” at the restaurant because of the company(‘s) “unpalatable baggage.” Got that? Christian now equals “unpalatable baggage.”

Dave Burge suggested that Eater might want to make inquiries into other food establishments as well:

iowahawk chickOf course kabab/shwarma joints are free to lie about their real beliefs so it may not prove to be useful research.

But back to Chick-fil-A: it would be that same Christian “baggage” that causes their franchises to remain steadfastly closed on Sundays, a lucrative revenue day, because it is the Lord’s day.

And that would be the same Christian “baggage” that caused them to call in workers yesterday (SUNDAY!) to feed thousands of stranded passengers at Atlanta’s Hartfield-Jackson airport who had absolutely no idea where their baggage might be.

So while Starbucks remains committedly non-denominational in its celebration of Winter Holidays,

Chick-fil-A will continue to celebrate the reason for the season with abandon.

If there is a Chick-fil-A anywhere near you, that is reason enough to enjoy a celebratory lunch today.

Tis the season to be jolly, not gay. But feel free to don your gay apparel.

...failure to conform to correct group-think...

Love that line. The left - those identifying as modern day liberals - are the most intolerant political species on the planet. They pay lip service to diversity, acceptance, etc. However, if you actually hold an opinion or view that opposes theirs, or dare to have differing priorities... Look out. They will come after you with a ferocity and disregard for decency that would make the old SS or KGB proud.

Every time the left attack CFA the company’s profits go up. Kindness is a powerful thing.

We couldn’t believe the crowd at our Chic-Fil-A this week, on a weekday too. I was lucky to grab a table while my wife ordered. This is a place I LOVE to see a crowd and wait in line. It is a fine product served with the right attitude. We are regulars there. (Wish they would bring back the coke slaw and get rid of the kale...that’s a lefty salad! )

Same old same old—Conservatives do the real work while liberals flap their gums.

And, on another note:

Chick-Fil-A broke Sabbath to feed the
stranded masses in Atlanta Airport Sunday.
CFA comes through in a pinch, even when it's closed

Hmmmmm ..... we’re doing a White Elephant style gift giving this year rather than having to buy individual presents for everyone. I’ve been trying to figure out what to give - something silly to fake everybody out, but a nice Chik-Fil-A gift card to go with it appears to be just the ticket. :-)

Do any of your gift recipients look like her? You may need to prepare for trouble...

Eater is owned by Vox Media. If you’re familiar with Vox, nuff said. If you’re not, check out Vox. That will explain everything.

All of the gift recipients, with the exception of one, are carnivores (hunt!) & Trump fans. The exception is a female college student who is a Bernie Bot, Vegan & loves Starbucks (ugh!). If she happens to get this gift, I’m sure it will promptly be “stolen” from her since everyone else in the family loves Chik-Fil-A.

Too bad, I tried Chick-fil-a once and was totally underwhelmed. As much as I like their social values, I won’t spend money on food I don’t like.

I’d be curious to know what other restaurants scored low on that rating that Eater wrote about. I might consider giving them more of my business (if I find their food palatable).

The French Revolution was founded on the principle of “equality, egality, fraternity” - culminating with the swift execution of anyone not agreeing 100% with Robespierre.

Implementing diversity thru authoritarianism doesn’t work.

I wish they would bring back the lemon ice box pie. Every place sells chocolate desserts, lemon pie was a stand out.

The thought of a restaurant promoting decidedly unsanitary practices involving waste excretion organs is repulsive.
