Chick fil a is definitely the goat of all fast food. In N Out is a close second.

Chipotle isn’t fast food.



Interesting how in n out & chick fil a can be literally miles ahead of McDonalds, Burger King, CJ’s, and other much larger fast food joints. BTW White Castle is literally raccoon food and only satanists eat there. Even though I support the LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP community, I’m still damn well gonna go to Chick Fil A and In N Out because their food and beliefs are far superior to other fast food restaurants. The customer service is always top notch and they genuinely care about their customers and fellow employees.

The other night I was there and overheard an employee was clocking out and they were saying stuff like, “Hey Mark, I hope you have a great trip this weekend. Drive safely. Tell your (parents? semi-inaudible) I said hi!” The last time I was at McDonald’s, the cashier was sketchier than a Waffle House cook on graveyard shift.

And they pay $12.50 for starting position and up to $17.50 (I assume for managers?).

good point
I agree
Chick-a-Fil should not be considered for airports



Both Tampa and Philadelphia have them in the airport food courts. At TPA, Chick is always busier than the Wendy’s and Quoda next to it. Same at PHL where it’s right next to a Genos Cheessteaks. Obviously airports know they won’t be open Sunday’s and still see the value of having them there. And customers still have plenty of other options on Sundays.

It appears to me that in both locations they do more business in 6 days than their competitors do in 7.

It is amazing how they get the good workers. The "my pleasure" thing seems canned and weird, but I can deal with that. I tried getting a survival job there when I first came back east, but the manager strung me along. He probably didn't think a middle aged guy would stick around long, which I sort of implied as I said I needed something stable for the moment.

Guy could have blown me off but we talked for a bit. He told me the story of the company, which was far more than I knew. He gave me the founder's book, and I got IIRC 2 free sandwiches out of it as we actually met twice. Being an operator there is a fantastic deal, you get half the annual profit out of the store, though you do put in the hours.

A shame so many haters out there that cannot deal with a religious ownership. Equal shame that the same haters think not saying how great it is to be gay is anti-gay. Haters gotta hate I guess.

The stores do near twice what a McDonald's does in one less day per week. My local one moved about half a mile to a store about twice the size and it seems twice as busy. They are an example to be followed.

I don't have a lot of time for boycotts of any sort. Not saying never, but it would get tedious boycotting musicians or actors base don their political views. Artists tend to lean left as a group for whatever reasons.

I would not go to a Democrat's political rally to see a musician perform, but I will go to concerts they play. One example is Jimmy Buffett....his music plays all the time at our house. I am pretty sure we don't agree politically.

Besides, I can never remember who I am supposed to boycott...

Still haven't tried them.



I'll bet you $5 it won't be open Sundays. Respond in this thread if the bet is on.

I find chick fil a ok. No giant step up or down from other fast food restaurants. The airport part is up to the airport. If they feel that the space needs to be open 7 days they will not rent to CFa. If they feel they have enough other options and CFa pays a 7 day fee for their 6 days then good for both parties.

My 18-year-old nephew works at Chick Fil A. They treat their employees very well. A lot of the times on Sundays when they’re closed the franchise owner (? not sure if that’s what he really is - but he’s the head honcho) will have the employees over for a get together at his house. They celebrate birthdays and holidays and stuff. Great for team building and employee morale.

As for the LGBT stuff, I know plenty of gays who love them some Chick Fil A. Notice how it’s always people on the right who bring up the subject of lefties boycotting it? It’s definitely overblown.

They call them "operators." They own nothing but get a piece of the action. High demand, 98% get turned down.

So, it is our imagination that colleges and even the mayor of NYC say they don't want them there because they refuse to toe the PC line?

This thread is good in that it makes you wonder to what extent you have to agree with an organization to financially support them. To me, the pros are that they have great customer service, excellent morale, decent wages for fast food and tasty chicken. The one dislike I have is their anti LGBT stance. It leaves me conflicted. I'll eat their food if someone else suggests it, but never by my own choice, which seems like a decent compromise. Anyone else have industries, organizations, other causes that pull them multiple directions?

Is it imagination that some on the right are blatantly racist and anti-semetic, and marched through the streets enmass with torches chanting “Jews will not replace us”?

There are extremes on either side. Those extremes to do speak for every single person that lean right or left.

Good to hear you also see the Mayor of NY is extreme. Along with 6 of the 10 members of the San Antonio City Council.

It’s about time some of the left start calling out crazies when they see them. We have always called out David Duke and other crazies on the right.

The anti-Chick-Fil-A crowd is not one small group. They keep popping up at colleges. They are in fact in the administration of colleges. And we are talking about the mayor of the largest city in the USA.

The left hates Chick-Fil-A simply because they will not say how great it is to be gay. The gay movement is not about wanting tolerance, it is about wanting obedience. If you do not give them and their agenda 100% support you are their enemy.

The only "anti-LGBT stance" I have seen is they do not support the LGBT agenda. Let me ask you, would you be as upset with a company who called people "Jesus freaks" and would you boycott that company for that stance?

I think the politicization of companies is generally a bad thing regardless of side and it often looks like a money grab. I'm thinking of Nike here. I'm on the fence as to whether or not I'd boycott it; but I think it's in poor taste and would be a terrible PR move.

I think its absurd to ban chic-a-fil due to politics
Anybody that supports that is stupid and dumb
I wont eat there because the food is gross and does not taste good and the prices are a ripoff

Racists on the right are not one small group either. I’m not talking about “you’re racist because you are republican” BS, but legitimate hate for anyone who isn’t white.

Why is it that the two most liberal members of this forum are saying that the Chik-Fil-A hate is stupid, but you are not willing to condemn something like the blatantly racist Charlottesville march?

Nope. It is spot-on. This is the perfect example. Gays tried to destroy this company. Remember the gay "kiss-in" where they planed to disgust Chick-Fil-A customers by gays going in and kissing each other? It is not that they just weren't going to eat there, it is that they hated the existence of Chick-Fil-A.

It backfired. People tired of their tactics went to Chcik-FIl-A in such numbers many stores ran out of food.

But the hate for them continues.

More than balanced out for hate for whites on the left.

The ones that say the hate is stupid then still say they dislike the company?

Condemn freedom of speech? Condemn the group that was having a peaceful, permitted demonstration? That wanted to keep their own history from being torn down? Nope, not going to do that. Not going to their meetings, but as long as they are peaceful they have a right to speak.

Peaceful? Like the guy who ran his car through a crowd and killed someone kind of peaceful? Like the video of a mob clubbing a black guy on the ground of a parking garage kind of peaceful?

You’ve been condemning people who hate Chik Fil A for 2 pages. These people don’t have the same rights to free speech? It’s becoming obvious that you think free speech only applies when you agree with the ideology.

You mean after the antifa stormtroopers came and caused the violence? They were peaceful until the leftists came and caused violence.

Free speech is not coming into a business and trying to ruin it.

See, the gay lobby is not saying, "we don't like Chick-Fil-A, so we will not eat there." They are saying "We don't like Chick-Fil-A so it should not exist!"

I do not know what I have "condemned." I have been asking how just not supporting the gay agenda is "anti-gay."

I’ve heard concerns about what this could mean for the fate of Deadpool 3, because Disney in no way shape or form wants to be associated with that franchise.

But with both Deadpool movies pulling in around $780 million EACH at the box office, there’s no way they are leaving that money on the table.



Haha... They have Deadpool practically front and center on their main website, literally right next to Mickey Mouse. I don't think they're trying to shy away from it at all.

They can slap the label of one of their subsidiary companies on future Deadpool movies if they don't want "Disney" and "Deadpool" in the same sentence. After all, they also own the Alien franchise now, and I don't think they'd want to let that die, either. Despite a lot of crappy movies, it's still a massively popular I.P.

The second one was better than expected. Looking forward to number three and to be honest haven't seen a Disney movie I dislike, so I'm not worried.

That wasn't Disney. It was Don Bluth, released by MGM/UA.

No
I am saying I searched Fox and did not see it
Mainstream conservative media is not on it. why?



Actually it happened years ago. We never heard much about it. Why? Muslim violence doesn't make the news I guess.

Do you read the news? Did you read what I pointed out? What others pointed out? The left hates Chick-Fil-A due to politics. A child can see this. Or is it my imagination about how many places lefties have tried to keep them from opening?

Haha... They have Deadpool practically front and center on their main website, literally right next to Mickey Mouse. I don't think they're trying to shy away from it at all.

They can slap the label of one of their subsidiary companies on future Deadpool movies if they don't want "Disney" and "Deadpool" in the same sentence. After all, they also own the Alien franchise now, and I don't think they'd want to let that die, either. Despite a lot of crappy movies, it's still a massively popular I.P.


Huh I would not have expected that. I knew they wouldn’t nuke the franchise but I didn’t think they’d associate themselves with it either.

Clearly what I read/heard was a bit alarmist.

"Muslim violence doesn't make the news?" LOLOLOLOL!!! Middle Eastern, Islamic-based violence has been in the news constantly for pretty much my entire life. What on Earth are you talking about?

Why has the Central African Republic Civil War not been in the news for the last few years? Thousands have died and hundreds of thousands have been displaced.

African violence doesn't make the news.


Here's a little tidbit from that war:

'On 5 December 2013, called "A Day That Will Define Central African Republic", the antibalaka militias coordinated an attack on Bangui against its Muslim population, killing more than 1,000 civilians, in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Djotodia.'

Antibalakas are CHRISTIANS, and they slaughtered 1,000 civilians. Why did THAT not make the news? Hmm?

Christian violence doesn't make the news, I guess....

That news was overshadowed by my 55th birthday. Timing is everything..

I take back what I said. Some of the Disney animated sequels are visibly worse than their predecessors. I'm talking about Aladdin, Atlantis and other 90s and early 2000s movies.

I think maybe part of that (maybe because I'm not sure what specific sequels you're thinking of) is, they look to make a quick buck off the major animated release by issuing a bunch of Direct-To-Video products, using cut scenes and other animation in storage, and a strung-together story, to sell to parents of toddlers and up who get fixated on the movie and characters.

They already spent the money on background and character animation. All they have to do is write a script, record the voiceovers and music, and re-use the animation. Can't say I blame them, since that dreck sells. New content for the electronic babysitter and the collectors.

I can't think of one of those feature follow-ons that's worth the time to view it even once. But any number of kid programming products are unwatchable. Ever tried to sit through a Barney or Teletubbie or even an episode of Sesame Street as an adult? Ugh.

So you are saying an attack with three times as many victims is getting no coverage? Why I wonder?

Because it happened in Africa. Same reason the cyclone in Mozambique that killed more than 300 people with thousands still in need of rescue got so little coverage. It’s shame on the press all around for coverage of things (anything’s) that happen on that continent.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.
