Americus Reed, a marketing professor at University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School who studies brand loyalty, says Cathy underestimated what might happen once his comments to a niche religious publication and a syndicated radio show spread to a wider audience.
"I think this is part of the wake-up call for companies to understand that social media makes these decisions very, very risky," Reed said, "because it's much easier now for these messages to get out to consumers and consumers to virtually organize."

“One irony I see is if they were encouraged to pair off and adopt or have children through surrogacy their “buying power” would drop in line with heterosexual couples who make those choices.”
Having children does not decrease one’s buying power.
Kids only cause people to spend more money.
My 46 year old daughter started her first job with Chick-fil-a at age 16. She worked her way up to assistant manager and earned one of their $1500 college scholarships.
Ironically, she is now legally married to her female partner in D.C.
I have no idea what they are doing for dinner, but hubby is picking CFA up on his way home from work tonight, before he goes to band rehearsal at church.
They're concentrated in overpaid professions in arts, fashion, media, and entertainment. And they don't have children.
It is a wakeup call to the perverted homosexuals. It is finally proving to America and the world, how homosexuality is nothing more than a racist hate group.
Factor in the disproportinate presence of gays in ultra high-dollar industries (like entertainment/Hollywood) and an average of $133,000 a year across 6million people isn’t all that unreasonable.
Facts be darned, continue the narrative.
Children do not decrease your spending power.
Children do not decrease your spending power.
Children do not decrease your spending power.
Clearly, an Affirmative Action hire.
Went to Chick-fil-a this morning for breakfast, just got back. The place was packed with three police cars in parking lot. Went in to eat and there were two flamers with a poster sign screaming,”ENJOY YOUR BISCUITS OF HATE!”....
One of them walked up and asked in a loud voice if I support this homophobic business and their chicken of hate.... I started to laugh... And I mean laughed out loud laugh... And then the people in the restaurant started to laugh... Everyone was laughing so hard we were crying... This made the two flamers even more mad.....And they left... Biscuits of hate... That just tickled my funny bone...
I never new a chicken biscuit good be so good, I picked up 6 for the family and myself this morning. A truly heavenly experience!
You can bet it's coming, though. Most esp. if Obamalamadingdong is recrowned, I predict we'll start seeing dozens of complaints. The left will be infuriated by their failure at cowing CFA into PC compliance, and even madder at the public for siding with them. Next step will be to drag them into a bunch of expensive, phony legal battles.
Me too. Just got back; used the trip to drive through a few neighborhoods I've done business in but not recently.
Good for you, I'm not a vegetarian but I respect you and your tolerance for non-vegetarians and for defending the 1st amendment.
Some vegetarians are very militant fascists, just like the smoke nazis.
They have diet lemonade? Dang, I’ve been ignoring the lemonade because my sugar’s up. Won’t any more!!
Can’t do sugar myself, so the diet lemonade is important. Its really good.
Do you eat cole slaw? If so, CFA has some of the best in the world, in my opinion.
Also, their lemonade is awesome.
“Don’t just sit there pickin’
when you could lickin’ chicken...”
