Well to repeat myself: I can only conclude steady year to year growth and an extremely loyal customer base is not as important as a few brain washed students protesting.
Nothing is more fragile then loyalty to a fast food franchise and CFA had a LOT of loyalty. This is one to watch and I for one will be watching as I drive buy the locations I used to stop at.

You want me back?

Get in front of the cameras and fire Ballard and tell us publically what a big mistake you made and you will restore Cathy’s values. Less than that, I’m out. I feel sorry for the franchisees.

Because it isn't true?

Add: and then actually restore Cathy's values, don't just tell us you're fixin' to, show us.

Or whither. Your call.

With luck, this will be a case study on how to lose your way, your honor and your livelihood in business schools for many generations to come.

Perhaps the next aspiring AOC will hear of it at Boston University College?

Ha! I made a funny!

$2500. You've got to be kidding me. For a company with more than 10 billion in annual sales that's not even measurable.

If conservative people turn on this company because of stories like this then they are dumber than liberal useful idiots. Wake up people.

CFA is a tremendously successful business. In business sometimes you have to do things you don't agree with completely in order to get things done for your company. That is likely all this stuff is. Maybe they needed a favor to get a prime location zoned properly or who knows what. DJT has given money to lots of dem orgs and candidates for the same reason. It's just business.

People now supporting boycotting CFA are nitwits.

a lot of there support as a business model came from the fact that they did not equivocate years ago when they were targeted by the gay mafia instead they just behaved as a business and continued to serve there customers. They are going to find that the good will of its fans will move on Quietly with no fan fair. there will be no organized boycott but instead its customers will just not make a point of going to chic filet. they will still be customers they just wont be going to the restaurant to stick it to SJWs that tried to ruin the company.

Why do companies feel the need to donate ANYTHING?

If they are a successful company, they are already serving society with products that people need and/or want to buy.

I recall reporting during 2016 primary season that Donald Trump had donated $100,000 to Clinton Foundation. I recall thinking at the time that I’d reluctantly and voluntarily go out of business before I’d donate a dime to the Clintons.

I wouldn’t call $2500 bankrolling anything these days

Sure it is a lot of money to us as individuals but to corporations and organizations, $2500 is a rounding error.

This is what our side does, that we hate the left for doing as well. Over exaggerating the facts to create “fake news” click bait nonsense.

Our side needs to stop this as well.

** It is my opinion that SPLC should never received one nickel from CFA and CFA should be ashamed for it. But we shouldn’t exaggerate the facts either.

“...It is amazing how a leftist communist infiltrator can bring down a company without them knowing it....”
Yep. The CEO needs to fire him, find why that jackazz was not properly vetted to start with and fire whoever recommended/hired him.....then apologize to the Christian community for the mistake...that’s assuming that it wasn’t done deliberately and that they want to stay in business.
FWIW, A couple of young folks that we know have already quit them and found other employment. Whole church congregations are now boycotting em. Their next couple of quarterly reports will be telling.

Won’t even reflect one cent on the balance sheet

I went to CFA yesterday, line around the building into the street for the drive thru, I parked at the neighboring bank, line to the door for the counter, but I got my food in like 2 minutes. It amazes me how many people they can serve in such a short time.

Only thing you are doing is possibly harming the local owner/operator, corporate won’t feel the pinch. But that is your choice and right.

exactly. I drove 12 hours for Thanksgiving and we usually stop at Chick-fil-A for lunch. We did not do that this time.
