I know ^ it's just about minmizing the damage when you have to eat fast food. While the grilled chicken has a lot of sodium, it still has plenty of protein, low in fat and calories. Making the sub for fruit instead of fries is huge too.
It's just as crazy for a corporation to alienate a group that by conservative estimates is 10% of the population. Coupled with being arbitrarily closed for close to 15% of the work week, a custom that has almost totally vanished from America, it's just not good business.
I agree.
It's very simple really. The founders had firm Christian beliefs and because of that, they've been very open about their beliefs. It's no secret that Biblically based, Christian beliefs don't align with everyone's lifestyle. It was a business risk they felt was necessary for them to stay true to the vision of the founders. It's what they believe and they're not ashamed of it. That being said, you will never hear of them refusing service to gay people. They also hire openly gay people (Edward is a good example).
People who have a problem with this have a very simple solution. If you disagree so strongly with the stance Chick-fil-a has taken with sexuality, you can choose to no longer patronize Chik-fil-a. If you claim to have problems with their beliefs, but can't keep your fat ass from ordering their food, then you're just a spineless person with no will power who likes to likes to support certain "causes" so you can feel good about yourself.

The Bible also talks about killing children... all that counts is your interpretation.......
Maybe some day someones interpretation will say that gay marriage is okay....
the people I worked with are a good example, I personally am not an example
There are many gay, Bible believing Christians. You'd be surprised. They obviously have a different interpretation. If you don't like Chick-Fil-a's interpretation, then don't eat their food.
Its pretty easy to sit back and tell someone they shouldn't get mad when its not your rights being actively campaigned against.
I have said this before, but I just do not get the obsession with gay marriage. Many, many heterosexuals cheat on their prospective spouses, but I have yet to see funding for a group denying those people the legal right to get married. They sure do seem to like to pick and choose their sins.
Their beliefs are one thing. Their contributions to what borders on a hate group actively and voluntarily enters them into the culture wars, and places a target square on their backs. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
nothing like free PR for chick-fil-A. well done guys, yall talking about them hating gay people is free advertising.
i think hemann ran a tasting segment for the newspaper over there or something...and concluded that.
Can't believe I'm agreeing with hemann, but he's right...their food tastes like poop.
Funny that the Chick-Fil-A guy mentions today's generation being prideful and arrogant, when that is just what they are doing with their religious beliefs. When it comes to business, I always think back to the wise words of one Joe Dirt. "It's not what you like, its the consumer".

My issue is not with Chik-Filet i eat there every couple of months and will continue to do so. My issue is with religion. It is perhaps the most divisive creation of human kind
What a stupid business decision.
Chick-Fil-A sucks
queens being drama queens, what's new?
It is chicken but it's chicken that's far from fresh
The Chick fil a I worked at cycled stuff where most chicken sat in the freezer for weeks before it was cooked.
Yeah CFA is certainly en led to their beliefs or whatever, but it's pretty bad business to mix your personal beliefs in with your corporate interests. I guess we'll see how many fat s are that serious about the boycott. I wouldn't imagine that a lot of gays eat there in the first place.
I don't think emotion is something that just happens once and then goes away, never to return. There are triggers. Buttons get pushed. That's part of being human.
Chick-fil-a is back in the media and a lot of us are reminded why we think this company sucks. It's one thing to say as a consumer that you won't be a customer because you don't like their chicken. But there's a big difference here.
Chick-fil-a took its own deliberate steps into the political arena and took a stance around a controversial issue that many feel denies fundamental rights to a lot of citizens. And they fork over millions each year to help keep those rights out of reach. Chick-fil-a changed the game—the protestors didn't. They are no longer in the business of just selling chicken sandwiches. They are in the business of selling chicken sandwiches and keeping gay people from getting married. When the president of the company comes out in the media and says so, you should expect a reaction.
damn, i was going to boycott them because i like lesbians but my girl brought it last night for dinner.
Chick Fil A hates s. Get the over it. No one is putting a gun to your head and making you buy and eat their ty fast food.
