I have been on the YouGov panel of “experts” for quite a while. I consider their polls and conclusions slightly better than worthless. Took one this morning. Nothing about Chic-Fil-A, but when I got through with the one they sent me, they had a propoganda sheet touting the serious impact this was having on Chic-Fil-A.

On a side note, my wife and I stopped at one in north Knoxville, TN last Friday at ~3:30 p.m. Drive through crowded when we arrived and when we left. Dining room full. Employees humping to keep up. Managers having to actually work to help keep the chicken and fries coming. Go Chic-Fil-A!

Thanks for the quote... and thanks for backing up my gut feeling. The “survey results” are about as reliable as teenage gossip.

And do you know how to post photos? I had one hell of time failing in my attempts.

Everything is good at chick fil-a - the grilled chicken is good, salads are fresh, chicken salad is good too but spicy is best!

I’m going to stick my neck out, and call BS on this one as Chick-Fil-A’s locally are crammed with customers which to me says the restaurants approval rating is still up there, and this article is perhaps Leftist wishful thinking.

You are correct as far as I can tell. I just came from the local CFA and it was very busy. For 3:00PM, it was extremely busy.

How are they getting these numbers? Because when I went to Chick-fil-A a couple of days ago (Sat.) it was packed with a line out the door! I would say they will have record revenue....

Yeah, Chick-Fil-A is so hated that when I went to one of their south Florida locations today the drive thru line was wrapped around the building and the parking lot was 70-80% full.

Hated indeed.

The controversy caused by Chick-fil-A COO Dan Cathy's interview, in which he said the company was "guilty as charged" for making large donations to anti-gay causes, has not been good for the restaurant's brand, GLAAD reports.

Well, thank GOD it was a TOTALLY UNBIASED, absolutely UNINVOLVED party like GLADD.

Because NOW we can believe all these so-called polls and surveys. After all, polls and surveys are impossible to jigger for desired results.

And GLADD is utterly impartial.

Y'see.

Anyone see how packed the stores are recently?

I did today in Suffolk, VA. They can flash all the charts they want, but the business bottom line is what counts, and they're not going to be hurting.

Watch their 3Q profits!

I’ve been increasing visits and will tell you they are more crowded than ever.

Hope their October financials report a huge increase!

Then they were disappointed when they got there and it was closed.

Oops! Thanks for the correction. It was SATURDAY night when they went: from Randolph, NJ to Woodbridge, NJ. They said it was doing great business.

YES. I tried to go on Saturday, and it was mobbed. The cops were there directing traffic. The parking lot was absolutely jammed, and people were parking at a nearby mall and walking over.

People are voting with their wallets, it seems.

I’d pay more attention to monthly or weekly sales figures than some leftist “survey” quoted by the happy boys at GLADD - Chic-Fil-A is, by all accounts, hitting it out of the park as we speak.

Personally, I applaud any company, anybody really, that is willing to stand up to the fagofascists in their quest to “normalize” abnormal behavior.

I’ll be at Chic-Fil-A tomorrow, and if any fruits stand in my way, I’ll push them aside. If they touch me, I’ll deck ‘em.

They plan to take up the seating areas

So go in and buy gift certificates. They make great gifts for young people and you don't need a table to buy them.

I don’t agree with their perspective, but its interesting to get conservative reactions, which are always shrewd and intelligent.


Yeah, and most guys read “Playboy” for the articles.

Gays can get rid of Chick-fil-A for good by perverting every rooster in the nation into gay sex with other roosters and chickens on chickens lesbianism. Results would be no more eggs or chicks. Problem solved and gays win, eheheheheheheheh. Any rooster who breaks the rules with a hen is charged with a hate crime and subject to circumcision.

If Chick-Fil-A was a public company, I’d be buying the stock.

They will prosper long term over this.

I hope their employees have profit sharing.
