Personally I’d rather buy a chicken sandwich from a company that is upfront about not supporting my beliefs than from one that puts on a big show of embracing them to earn my business, only to throw me under the bus when the mood strikes them.
More for me
Seems pretty hypocritical to me.
You chose NOT to patronize CFA, BECAUSE of a slight shift in their charitable giving.
And yet what about the pizza place you ate at, or ANY OTHER restaurant you go to?
Do you research the giving of EVERY merchant you shop?
Sounds like todays liberals.
Except now its "conservative".
Someone can be conservative and support conservative ideals and policies their entire lives,
but slip in one area and the wailing and gnashing of teeth begins.
Do you enjoy your ride on the bandwagon?
Local Chik-Fil-A stores are not franchises, and the are not locally owned, they are owned by the corporation, not the managing operator.
They chose poorly.
And what bandwagon would that be???
WRONG!!!!
So go eat there. Nobody’s stopping you. But you sure use the language of the left a lot.
I’m done w them. They betrayed the values of their customer base and cast a shadow over two fine organizations, The Salvation Army and Fellow of Christian athletes
And what language would that be???
If I want a chicken sandwich, I go to Chick fil a. If I want a hamburger, I go to Hardee’s. Other than them using my money to feed me I don’t care what they decide to do with the rest of it.
The two I went to aren’t in my corner of town, and it’s good to not have to waste gas to get there anymore, I guess.
“All that matters to conservative purists is that their narrominded view is reflected toward hatred to the offensive chicken purveyor. It doesn’t matter that the company is a Christian business. It has offended the sensibilities and must therefore be hated and condemned”
All you have to say is: “I dont care. I will still give them my money because I can still feel good if I just dont think about it.
It’s your choice, but dont act like people here need to be shamed in order to give you cover.
You can do both. In fact one might energize you to do the other.
They’re done for me.
Supporting leftists is admitting that your standards have gone to excrement.
(Also...being family friendly DOES NOT mean being anti LBGTQRS).
But most LGBTQRSers are NOT family friendly, definitely not traditional family friendly.
We’re in a culture war and only one side is fighting. Our side is getting slaughtered. First rule of winning a war is “don’t support your enemy”.
The franchise structure of the Chick-fil-A system from a
business model is unique also. Chick-fil-A pays for the
land, the construction and the equipment, they then rent
everything to the franchisee for 15% of the restaurant’s
sales plus 50% of the pretax profit remaining.

They were not quiet about this. They made sure that the word got out.
No, Popeye's is better.
