DIA Blocks Chick-Fil-A restaurant because of bigotry

Post Reply New Topic

They seem to be doing quite well for themselves, their sales have exploded over the last couple years. Chick-fil-A is apparenty the most profitable per restaurant than any other fast food place and will likely continue to expand probably at the fastest pace in the industry. People don't care about twitter activists, it causes more backlash than anything.

That's because it's become the political in-thing for the anti-LGBT rights crowd to eat there.

I don't think most people are making any political statement when they go eat fast food

I'd just like to point out that I've never eaten at a chick-fil-a, not because of political views, but because there's not one within 200 miles of me. I feel fortunate, every review I've read intimates that the food there taste like ass and this is before the controversy over their beliefs started a few years back. Since the conversation is well outside the scope of the initial post I'd just like to know, is their food really that bad?

I've eaten at them before and consider them to be pretty much like any fast food. When I want a chicken sandwich, I'd much rather have a grilled chicken sandwich.

I'd take Chick-Fil-A any time over many of the fast food hamburger places, especially Burger King.

their franchisee process is significantly different from most other fast food chains: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140725 ... istian-way

There's nothing wrong with that.

Then what on earth was-



-all about?

The only possible way this could be remotely relevant to the discussion is in a hypothetical future scenario in which you predict an occurrence of racial antagonism. Otherwise, I have literally no idea why you're bringing it up.

I don't eat there because the nearest is a 200 mile round trip. If I'm driving 100 miles to eat and 100 miles back, I'm looking for something besides fast food.

More than a tad troubling.

If you can discriminate against a business because of religion then you can discriminate because of race or sexuality or anything. It doesn't matter what the religious beliefs of Chick-fil-A's corporate structure are if it in no way effects their business. Saudi Arabia beheads homosexuals in public squares and we're talking about chicken sandwiches, this stupid non-thinking twitter activism has to stop. I think this is another example of do gooder liberal guilt giving way to totalitarian thought police. You don't have to like each other, just because you buy a product doesn't mean you whole heartedly agree with all the views and actions of everybody involved in the chain of that one transaction. Who cares? It's such a weird thing to stick your flag in the ground for, most of the stuff we buy every day is made by slave labor in China but we need to boycott Chick-fil-A because their 90 year old founder didn't support gay marriage? Remember Obama didn't until the very end of his first term.

If you want to make a libertarian property rights type argument then you would also have to believe that private businesses should be able to discriminate for any reason as it is their money and property but I don't think any of you will make that leap. You just want your views and your morals enforced, I live and let live.

I've never eaten at Chick-fil-A, I don't eat fast food often and there is a about 15 other places I'd eat at before settling for Chick-fil-A. The nonly person that I've ever known to like it is a lesbian ironically enough, she apparently wasn't bothered by it. Some people get offended by the hidden scripture and stuff but In-N-Out does that too and they're the GOAT.

Also they have their stupid theme of 'eat chicken to save cows' this has always disturbed me to be honest.

taking marketing seriously is a fool's errand.

It's overpriced pathetic little servings of chicken that seems like its more air and breading than chicken, the condiments probably have more food value than the crap.
