A couple of years ago, a new Chick-fil-A restaurant was under construction in my neighborhood. Now, Chick-fil-A and I go way back. I went to high school in Georgia. I well remember the Chick-fil-A in the local mall (well, the only mall) in our small town. While the chicken sandwiches weren’t exactly a revelation, they were a nice change of pace from my usual McDonald’s cheeseburgers.
Although I no longer eat chicken, I followed the construction progress of my neighborhood Chick-fil-A restaurant closely. However, it’s what happened when a neighbor posted a photo and an update about our soon-to-be open Chick-fil-A that most caught my attention.
Someone commented on Nextdoor that they would never set foot in this new Chick-fil-A—or any other. The reason: “The company supports anti-LGBTQ groups and laws.” That was news to me. With my curiosity piqued, I decided to do some research, and what I discovered surprised me.
To begin, Chick-fil-A is famously closed on Sundays, and there’s a reason for that. The founder, S. Truett Cathy, who passed away in 2014, was a devout Southern Baptist. It was his decision to close Chick-fil-A restaurants on Sundays so that employees could “rest and worship if they choose.” That business model has worked well for the company since its founding in 1967.
However, Chick-fil-A got tangled up in the politics of same-sex marriage more than a decade ago. News reports asserted that the company had donated many millions of dollars to groups considered to be anti-gay. The reported donations sparked widespread protests, boycotts, and criticism at the time.
However, Chick-fil-A stopped donating to such organizations years ago.

Chick Fil A is doing just fine and profit continues to grow year after year.
If more businesses would actually follow their model of customer service, they would be booming like Chick Fil A.
Chick Fil A has been flipped by the LBT crowd. That is bad.
And anyone that calls bad good is hankering for trouble.
Yep. And the author doesn’t eat chicken. Too bad for them. Not buying what they are attempting to sell. Great outfit and I’d give them more biz except that their food is a bit caloric for this old guy who’s attempting to lose some weight.
They were targeted by the Degenerate Homo Mafia because they refused to pay protection blackmail.
The HomoNazi racket was only partially successful, and Inc is incompetent for not knowing that and not publishing the real story.
The new decision maker(Truett’s son) discontinued their amazing Cole slaw.
The chicken now has antibiotics in it, the sandwiches are very small and the French fries are covered in some dust that makes them flavorless when fried.
We used to eat at CFA all the time but now we go maybe once a month, if that.

My sentiments exactly!
We love their salads.
Be a shame if somebody showed up at their Nextdoor house and punched them in their sh*t-licking face.
The founder had spiritual convictions; it doesn't appear the current leadership does. I say that because they are playing around with the devil.
The new leadership will figure the closed-Sunday model is costing them money and, for them, losing money is a sin.
I won't say I've never bought a quart of milk on Sunday; I have. But as a rule I don't shop on Sunday because that requires other people to work that day to serve me.
There are six other days to shop.
I’d rather a resturant just serve food. Businesses of all kinds should stay out of politics all together. We don’t go to these places for slogans or other things. We go to get an item we need or want or a meal.
“I won’t say I’ve never bought a quart of milk on Sunday; I have. But as a rule I don’t shop on Sunday because that requires other people to work that day to serve me.”
They are already at work. Your Sunday purchase may help put milk on their table.
Even though one of their eateries is about two miles away, I haven’t eaten at Chick Fila since 2018. I stopped going there after they went woke.
Chick-Fil-A broke trust with their real customers . . . US.
They donated to the SPLC.
They went mask-crazy during COVID.
They make great lemonade. The chicken is loaded with MSG. I prefer bone-in chicken, but my daughter like Chick-Fil-A, so I accompany her at times.
So, out of the seven days of the week, why did you choose to honor Sunday with this distinction?
I remember when the BLM stuff was going on. And their CEO made a message that white people should wash black people’s feet. I don’t like their food anyway.
I also don’t like their food. Too greasy and too salty. When I’m in the mood for fried chicken, I go to a Korean fried chicken shack down the block.
Please stop.
I haven’t been back since I read a list of ingredients they use.
