Boston Mayor Thomas Menino wants to restrict a single private business, Chick-Fil-A, from opening any franchises in Boston. His reported remarks were,
Chick-fil-A doesnt belong in Boston. You cant have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates against a population. Were an open city, were a city thats at the forefront of inclusion. ==========================================
I have not eaten meat or fowl since 1991 but wanted to give support to Chick-Fil-A in the battle against the gay fascists and Boston Mayor Menino. So, I went to my local restaurant in Upland, CA and got a bag of their incredible chocolate chunk cookies.
It was about 12:30 and the place was packed with customers. When the counter girl was about to give me my cookies, the other lady who brought them to her decided to take them back because she didn't like how they looked. How about that; they wanted to make sure they were perfect for me.
I really appreciated the good service and great American flag. On the wall were phone numbers to call the national HQ and the local manager in charge. So, I called the local guy to give my support, explained that I don't eat meat, but came in to buy a bag of cookies to give them support. The guy said, "All I want to do is sell sandwiches." He wishes the controversy never occurred. I told him he has the support of the majority of people (particularly in my community) and he shouldn't listen to the left wing fascists. He told me that the comments made his day.
Call your local restaurant. Give them your support in the battle against the heavy hand of government trying to suppress free speech.
The photo below shows the store on a Sunday. That is why you do not see any activity. It is closed on Sunday.
I’m in.
(different location though)
Bought dinner at the local Chic-Fil-A tonight. Expensive, but good, my family loves it.

The Foothills Parkway Rocks (I was just out there last week)!!! Oh, and i love Chick-Filet. No worries, their product is so good, they won’t be losing business.
Chick-fil-A has the best lemonade in the world.
Menino is full of himself and full of it. The company does not discriminate in hiring or serving the public. If they did that, he would have a valid argument. In this country, you are allowed to have a political opinion without the government trying to prevent you from doing business.
Ate there tonight. So, the CEO is a professed Christian. Not once has he said anything about “discriminating” against anyone.
I'm not a big Huckabee fan, but I read that he is organizing "Chik-Fil-A Day" on that date to try and get as many people as possible to show support for the chain.
I also am not a big Facebook fan, but my understanding is that there is a petition on Facebook to sign up and show support.
I use to go to the Upland all the time!!
Now I live in Southern Oregon...
no Chikky :(
My husband shot off emails to his co-workers and the one in Corona will get a lot of business Wednesday.
If you don’t eat chicken, their waffle fries are yum! Good coffee too, and they make it fresh often.
We ate at the Chick Fil A in Nashua, NH last Saturday. Will go again next week-end.
Just moved from CA to TX, had never heard of Chick Fil A until a few days ago. Ate there for the first time tonight. Great fast food, nice store, great service.
Yep, Wednesday is a good day.
Meanwhile, the National Organization for Marriage is promoting “Eat at Chick-Fil-A Day” for Wednesday of this week.
Please join me this Wednesday in supporting this courageous company, while at the same time sending a powerful message of support to every individual and every company with the courage to stand for marriage.
It is good, but 2nd best. Best is found at Toomers Drug store in Auburn, Alabama.
I’m in...same location as DfU...
They’re closed on Sunday? ALL fast food workers who are off on any sunday should go to church with them. A guaranteed Sunday off every week would be one of the FEW things one could count on these days.
I will support this fine company. I know a guy who has hunted with the CEO, says that he is a great guy, does a lot for kids.
