They’ve lost me as a customer.
The only thing as bad a progressive is those who bend over and assume the Obama position for them.
For the life of me I can’t understand why Chick-fil-A gives one inch to the leftist, anti-Christian blackmailers. It’s TOTALLY UNNECESSARY.
Chick-filA is a business. To sell more sandwiches they have expanded their customer base.
Success is achieved by being apolitical, not by catering to one group over another.
I’ve worked in publishing for 15 years. The author of this article, Bill Hull, has a book releasing in January 2020 titled The Cost of Cheap Grace. It’s one of the best I’ve read in my 15 years in my job. Much as he does in this article, it discusses the softening of the Gospel and a move from cheap grace to costly discipleship. It’s convicting and challenging.
Sadly I went by there last night and the drive-thru line was still circling the building.
I have let them know in no uncertain terms they have lost me and my entire family unless and until they totally abrogate their position to no longer donate to Christian Organizations.
I reminded them of the support we the consuming public gave them some time ago when the Left called for a total boycott of Chick Fil A and because of OUR support they had the very best day in their corporate history.
They are no worse than the scores of national chains who either never contributed to great causes or worse, contribute to wicked ones. Of course, they remain closed on Sundays. I don’t want to totally abandon the company for having been good, otherwise new companies will be unwilling to ever contribute to good causes for fear of long term risk if (for whatever reason) they have to change course.
That said, the shine is off the halo, and I prefer bone in chicken.
I rarely ate at Chick-Filet before. Kind of expensive. After the boycott, I would go out of my way to eat there whenever I wanted fast food. Not anymore.
It’s a business. People shop at non Christian stores all the time for food and sundry items.same with chick fil a. I’ll still go there and not worry about what anyone says or does.
Expecting a fast food restaurant to be a flawless exemplar of Christian values in all ways at all times is going to lead to disappointment. They’re still the same company that provides good food for a good price in a very clean, pleasant environment with polite, happy employees that closes on Sunday that they were before. They’ve been attempting to depoliticize themselves for some time now. I’ll still enjoy eating there and will patronize them every chance I get.
When he came in he was in a rather sour mood....swearing he'd never eat at CFA again.
The CFA bag was on my desk. I didn't say a word to him. Didn't have to.
CFA had record sales that day.
From there the business accelerated to put them very close to the number 1 fast food company in the USA.
And now, CFA has seemingly capitulated on the very issue that made them what they are.
I will seriously have to reconsider my future purchases with CFA.
I'm an agnostic.After action report:
Tomorrow I'm getting breakfast at Chick-fil-A in Sparks.
My plan is to ask to see Tiffany, the owner.
I will give her a $1 bill and make her promise to do all she can to insure Chick-fil-A corporate donates that dollar to The Salvation Army.
Who's with me? Is it worth one of your own dollars and a promise to support your favorite Christian charity?
If an agnostic can do it, what's your excuse?
Tiffany wasn't there, nor was her husband.
I asked to talk to the manager.
She very politely refused my cash saying that employees are not allowed to accept money, adding that they have no control over what Corporate does.
I asked her to at least request that Tiffany invite a bell ringer to stand in front of the store, she seemed delighted with the idea and agreed.
We rarely eat out. My wife loves to cook, so we eat at home 95% of the time.
I couldn’t verify the statement below, but FWIW:
“the new donations strategy also meant several dozen other groups — with no anti-LGBT record — would not receive funding in 2020 either, and so the strategy does not appear to have been targeted specifically at the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.” - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/chick-fil-a-anti-lgbt-donations/
We held then high for doing right.
When they fall, we stone them.
So old testment.
I wonder how much business CF has lost because of this stupid decision. Probably not as much as people would think. Ideology takes a back seat to hunger. I go to CF about 2 or 3 times a year. If I dont go again I doubt they would not notice. If a million people did the same they would notice but it would not hurt them very much. I drove by one yesterday and the cars were lined up for the drive-thru as they always are.
Make more chicken...
Let’s use Guerilla tactics: Take Gospel Tracts and drop discreetly leave them in every Chick-fil-A.
Do the same thing in EVERY Starbucks to the “Community” bulletin board.
Truett Cathy was a moral Christian giant, it may be hard for his son to live in his shadow especially now that they've taken their franchise's out of the South and into more hostile territory's with the pressure that's being applied in those conclaves. The Cathy's should take note of what happened to JC Penney's.....stand strong and remember to dance with the one that brung ya.
