Chick-fil-A Orders Values to Go
Family Research Council ^ | November 20th, 2019 | Tony Perkins

Posted on 11/21/2019 11:56:24 AM PST by Bishop_Malachi

If the last 24 hours have proven anything about Chick-fil-A, it's this: It was never about the chicken. For millions of Americans, there was a much deeper significance behind every decision to pull in the parking lot and walk through those doors. It wasn't about the menu. It wasn't even about the service. It was that every time someone ate there, they were making a cultural statement. Chick-fil-A was a business, yes. But it was also a giant rebuttal of everything the bullies stood for. Until it wasn't.

They suffered years of leftist bullcrap for their values, then they sell out. They will get no credit for selling out, and they have alienated the people who supported them. Not so smart. Meanwhile, the Salvation Army is controversial. We’ve come a long way, baby.

Feel sorry for the operators of the stores who invested in this franchise, only to be stabbed in the back by the company. The parking lot of our C-F-A is not crowded now.

Let’s see if they pay at the bottom line.

CLV = Customer Lifetime Value:

When left wing corporate board member idiots chase away fans/customers/buyers to promote Social Justice Warfare/Welfare WOKE BS, often those customers will stay away for their lifetime. CLV = Customer Lifetime Value:

P&G, Nike, pro football and now Chick-fil-A didn’t just switch their Woke actions, they broadcasted it. Then they rubbed our noses with their stances.

Chick-fil-A made a conscious choice to draw attention to this very public divorce from two Bible-believing charities. And then, in a calculated move, announced their support was going to an organization that, on its website, openly and proudly supports everything about the LGBT community.

How many of those deplorable customers will now stay away for their life time. CLV = Customer Lifetime Value:

Chick-fil-A_ have ended their relationships with millions of Deplorables customers with their Justice Warfare BS marketing.

These idiots depending on the millennials to bail them out, may be even more stupid than pushing SJW BS.

CLV aka Customer Lifetime Value:

The model for customer cash flows treats the firm’s customer relationships as something of a leaky bucket. Each period, a fraction (1 less the retention rate) of the firm’s customers leave and are lost for good.[1]

The CLV model has only three parameters: (1) constant margin (contribution after deducting variable costs including retention spending) per period, (2) constant retention probability per period, and (3) discount rate.

Furthermore, the model assumes that in the event that the customer is not retained, they are lost for good.

Customer Lifetime Value:

I liked new coke.
I liked (and still like) chic-fil-a - I’m just not going to go out of my way to support them anymore.

I think they fear hurting the kids they have. They do more damage not fighting back.

As for me, I HATE being told what to do or not to do OR having things forced on me.

Give me a musket and tell me where the meeting point is.

Probably will be just a temporary setback. Most conservatives can't help themselves, and they end up supporting those they at one time boycotted or considered boycotting. See: Target, NFL, ...

But they’re not gay enough - hence this action.

Go look at CFA facebook. There they are trumpeting their donations to the usual PC “urban” causes. Sadly, they’ve gone to the corporate darkside.

We are going to give the money we normally spent at CFA to the Salvation Army. If enough people do that, the Salvation Army will not miss the rather stingy $100K that CFA was giving them.

Yep. Put a $1000 check in the mail to The Salvation Army today and told CfA online what I did and no more them.

The decision took 7 years and was made after a great deal of prayer. That prayer took place as a group in the leadership meetings...

This is my beef with the chickens at CFA. There are Alinsky marxists trying to isolate and destroy SA. And CFA just handed them a club to use on SA. This is a war and only one side is fighting.

At least the NFL stopped the kneel downs at the playing of the National Anthem. Gillette suffered serious financial setbacks and buried their male bashing campaign. Target alone didn’t back down. None of these firms were built on promotion of a Christian friendly, family oriented company.

+1 on your post.
The children that use that term never matured past Middle School.

We’re surrounded by them on FR apparently.

Yep. Our domestic enemies are emboldened again.

Especially here, with their feigned ignorant and innocent comments, just like 2016.
