They can still eat shit since they STILL fund anti-lgbtq organizations, to my knowledge.
I don’t care if they still fund it or not. When somebody shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
With a corporation, that gets complicated. IIRC, it was the CEO and/or other top executives, not the company itself. And those executives are now gone, but still funding the same atrocities.
The new executives still aren’t great, so it’s easy in this particular case. But what if they really were different?
Words are cheap, I’ll forgive them only if they do a 180 and actually start supporting the community instead of funding bigots.
I like their food and their service is top notch, so I’d be glad to see positive change from them.
I like their food
Have you considered trying literally any other Chicken joint in the South? Most of the other ones actually season their food so that it tastes different from the packaging it comes in.
Eww, judging by the sound of it you like the taste of boots too.
Where the fuck do you get that idea? A business with shitty ownership can be well run from the customer perspective. If it weren’t for the ownership, I would eat there.
Nobody can change?
This isn’t a “body”, its a fucking company. If people weren’t so fucking sedated they would be out of business for their hate
A corporation?
Sure people can change.
But they don’t seem to have.
Fair point, but I’d struggle to forgive a business even more than a person. Sometimes it also doesn’t matter if they change if what they’ve done is awful enough.
In this case, Jesus chicken has always been anti lgbtq. Their long history would prevent me from forgiving them for that, but maybe if it was under new ownership or something.
The one nearest me is owned by a gay couple. Not sure how that slipped through the cracks…
I dont really understand it, but their employees in my area seem to be like, 30% gay. Maybe they are all closeted religious folk, but surely that cant be.
I know you mean that 30% their employees are gay, but it tickles me that it reads like you’re assigning them a position on the Kinsey scale.
Maybe they are just people who need a job??
ONE GOOD THING DOESN’T REEDEEM A EVIL ORG…
Still not eating the overrated bigot chicken.
Christofascist chicken or AI fueled burgers…hmm, maybe I’ll just get some tacos.
The taco guy on the corner and the halal truck down the street. I trust them with my life.
My taco bell has been usually an ai voice in the drive through. The staff thinks it needs too much babysitting to be helpful.
Cheaper to eat at home.
Ah yes, let me come home in between two doubles and spend time prepping, cooking, and cleaning instead of getting that precious extra hour of rest.
Make sure there’s no lettuce on them.
How about pizza? Can’t go wrong with pizza
Very true. It’s tough to find really bad pizza. Little Caesar’s tries their best to make awful pizza but somehow manages to make minimally acceptable pizza.
They can do whatever they want, still not supporting them. Their food isn’t good.
Nor are their politics!
That’s just a lie…
The food is good, for “fast” food it’s amazing. Like, I don’t think there’s another fastfood option that hasn’t fully transition to the mcChicken method were the patty is reconstituted scraps.
Their politics with LGBTQ is (was?) absolute dog shit and more than enough reason to boycott them as an isolated issue…
But honestly looking at any other aspect of their company, and they’re one of the most worker friendly options. Which again, is not a high bar to clear, especially in fast food.
So if anyone is boycotting Chick-fil-A, they have valid reasons. It’s just damn near every other option is even worse, so if they have consistent logic their boycott list is every major corporation. Like, the owner has 10 billion dollars, no billionaire owned company is going to be ethical. If someone’s only issue with Chick-fil-A is the anti-lgbt stuff, that doesn’t mean they’re a good person, it means they only care about the demographic they consider “us”.
But again; saying they’re food isn’t good is just a flat out lie.
Greasy beading that sloughs off the chicken immediately isn’t good by any metric, fast food or otherwise.
They also went to the supreme court so they could determine the healthcare their employees get. Company is rotten
Greasy beading that sloughs off the chicken immediately isn’t good by any metric, fast food or otherwise.
Ok buddy, but:
-
That’s not the norm, and remember, this is in comparison to other fastfood options.
-
If you’re boycotting them, how do you know that’s what it’s like?
But most importantly:
Company is rotten
I said every corporation sucks…
That includes chicfila…
They also went to the supreme court so they could determine the healthcare their employees get.
Not sure why you expect people to know what you’re referring too…
No, that is the norm. And has been for years.
Occasionally for work functions, someone else brings some in. And, because I have eyes, I can see them falling apart before even being picked up. And I conclude that I’m still not missing out on anything.
Why go to bat for this shitty food?
So you’ve never eaten it and are judging it as bad food?
Why go to bat for this shitty food?
Why are you ignoring how bad everything else is?
Hell, look at what McDonald’s gives trump…
But for fucks sake man, when someone says “every corporation is bad” they’re not defending any of them…
I have no idea why you can’t understand that, but I’m sure as shit not hanging around for a miracle and I really don’t care if it finally clicked or not.
What are you on about? Why do you have such a hard on for a corporation? McDonald’s fucking sucks too. This thread was explicitly talking about Chick-fil-A

One extra large order of the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, please. To go.
Listen, I’m not going to tell them to get bent for doing the only sane thing they’ve ever done, but I’m not throwing them a welcome-to-the-family party either. The lesser evil is still evil and I will continue to avoid so much as letting my shadow darken their doorway.
There’s a reason why Chick Fil A is doing better than every other fast food company: Service.
There’s a reason why Chick Fil A is doing better than every other fast food company: Service.
No, the reason is blind loyalty from Christofascist Christian Nationalists.
Every time you pay them for their bland ass chicken, they spend some of that money on torturing gay kids for Jesus, or supporting a politician that wants to make heresy a capital crime.
Bullshit. There’s always 5 extra employees at chickfila, an extra 1-2 in the drive through alone. My order is never wrong at chickfila, I’ve never had to complain of missing items.
Service trumps it all, whether you like the taste or not. I don’t feel cheated, I don’t feel abused. I get what I pay for and move on.
It’s a very simple system that so many others fuck up so badly.
Hope you’re part of whatever group they start finding the oppression of next. Anyone not militantly opposed to Christian Nationalism is supporting Christian Nationalism.
Where do they support that, I’m only familiar with the religious angle.
I’m anti-religion, so it’s kind of a testament towards the business.
Come on my dude they are closed on Sunday for a reason. I agree that they have fantastic service and it is probably a major reason for their success, but they also have a major share of Christian Nationalists that eat there because they are Christian Nationalist and anti-LGBTQ. Anyway here’s a succinct wiki that outlines their anti-LGBTQ connection and Christian Nationalism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick-fil-A_and_LGBTQ_people
And here’s Dan Cathy’s wiki page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Cathy
In June 2021, The Daily Beast reported that the National Christian Charitable Foundation (NCF), to which Cathy is reportedly a major donor, was helping to fund opposition to the Equality Act.
And just read the wiki page for them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick-fil-A
S. Truett Cathy was a devout Southern Baptist; his religious beliefs had a major impact on the company.[56] The company’s official statement of corporate purpose says that the business exists “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.”[57] Cathy opposed the company becoming public for religious and personal reasons.[58]
Feel like you almost have to be willfully ignorant to not know about the connection between Chick-fil-a and Christian Nationalism in current year though. Are you just an incredibly uncurious person?
As much as you think that matters to everyone else as much as it matters to you, you are wrong.
You aren’t wrong about what their owners do and what supporting them funds. But 99/100 people going to Chick Fil A just want a damn chicken sandwich. They don’t think about the owners or politics. They think about going somewhere that is fast, easy, and relatively tasty (compared to other fast food places).
Blind loyalty only accounts for a very minor percent of their business.
99/100 people going to the lunch counter just want a sandwich. They don’t care about the politics or who isn’t allowed to sit at the counter
Racist fuckheads only account for a very minor percent of their business.
I’m not sure what point you think you are making here. I already agreed that their owners are bad. I already agreed that people who eat there don’t care about the other people who are hurt by the owners’ policies/practices. And racist fuckheads account for a minor percent of literally every business that has ever sold a product.
Also, I would be careful equating the owners of a large corporation donating money to anti-LGBTQ+ organizations with Jim Crow laws. There’s just a slight difference in level of impact, and it might be offensive to a large number of people.
Nah. I agree it helps them unfortunately,
But their food quality and service is better.
I say this as an antitheist
