That would be up to the franchise manager
That would be up to the franchise OWNER
No. Starve them.
“If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink : Proverbs 25:21”
I’ll buy that.
Cakes are in no way part of the wedding ceremony. By the time you have cake (or cupcakes, or doughnuts, or whatever else is in fashion at the moment), you are entirely married.
If you went home after the ceremony, you’d be 100% married.
This is the exact same thing.
That said, I don’t know pretend to what the answer is. I’m never sure that micromanaging who you will and won’t serve food to is a viable idea for just this reason.
Where do you draw the line?
How far into the private business of customers do you pry?
Is there any value in showing them goodness and kindness?
I don’t know the answers, and I have worked with the pro-life movement for many years.
All I can tell you is that I have never been rude or nasty to anyone and won them over. I have disarmed several anti people by showing myself to be calm and kind. They don’t expect it and never know what to do with it.
Sadly no one at the clinic is breaking the law. So, yes, sell to them.
Abortion clinics value chicken eggs more highly than human eggs.
Sigh - a priest “activist” (writing letters is the next best thing to inaction). He may be justifiably outraged, but I side with the business on this one. I find it interesting that the baby-killing folks aren’t boycotting Chik-Fil-A.
Perhaps the priest would do better by holding prayer meetings outside the abortion place instead of writing scathing letters...
Chik fil A absolutely "discriminates" in who they sell franchises to. You obviously have no idea what they do in that regard.
To be "awarded" a Chik fil A franchise, one must be a Christian, preferably married with children, an active participant in one's home church and a whole lot of other requirements.
To be awarded a Chik fil A franchise, the applicant must undergo a year long process under direct supervision of a Chik fil A Senior Manager, the applicant's family life is scrutinized, so are their finances and a whole lot more.
Chik fil A franchises cost a whopping $5,000 and there are over 25,000 applicants for franchises each year for somewhere around 15-20 new restaurants each year.
You cannot say Chik fil A doesn't "discriminate" in who they award franchises to, they absolutely do and that's their right.
Why not work it into the menu and sell “aborted chicken sandwiches”...crikey...does the left ever get tired of playing with dead babies?!? What a great lot of ghouls...
“Cakes are in no way part of the wedding ceremony.”
It was hard to get past that first sentence. Of course WEDDING cakes are part of the WEDDING ceremony. The reception is a big part of the ceremony, the opportunity people have to affirm and support a couple that has just married.
No. Wedding cakes are part of the tradition after the ceremony. You’re married without the cake.
Some people don’t even have cake.
The reception is a tradition that some people participate in, but not everyone has a reception, either.
Not sure why this is even a “thing” for you. By definition, a “wedding” cake is directly related to the “wedding.”
My point: Providing food (sandwiches) to people who are engaging in systematic immoral behavior ... is different from providing food (a wedding cake) that is an integral symbolic element in a gay “wedding” celebration. The gay couple cuts the cake and feeds it to each other as part of the ceremony, right? It’s a ceremonious activity, an important symbolic element of some wedding ceremonies.
My point: CFA did well to just serve the sandwiches to the baby killers. And the baker did just fine by choosing *not* to participate in a gay “wedding” by not providing a wedding cake for a gay couple ...
