Nowadays when I pass by Chick Fil-A (i.imgur.com)

I just moved to Oregon from Florida and just realized there's not a single one of those fuckers in this entire STATE.
[–]amanitus 4 points5 points6 points 28 days ago
When I pass by it now in the mall, I look inside and see how many people are in there. I figure that everyone who is eating in there knows about the recent news/scandal. I smile a little bit when I see that only a handful of people are there and they're all older.

To be honest, i dont think its fair to hate a whole corporate structure because of one man, especially when the majority of workers dont share his beliefs.
[–]lern_too_spel 1 point2 points3 points 28 days ago*
Do you realize your flimsy argument means that no company should ever be boycotted? Nobody's advocating a hunger strike. The money will flow to other fast food restaurants that will need to be staffed.
Also, source your "majority" claim.
[–]Probydoby -1 points0 points1 point 27 days ago
Are you kidding me? What makes you believe the staff shares the same feelings about people being gay. Why the hell are the opinions of the owner relevant to customers and the staff? I can understand not wanting to spend your money there because you want to be a responsible consumer and wants to control where your money will go to. But there is no reason to believe the staff hold the same anti-gay beliefs.
Do you think their application forms said :"Anti-gay bigots only"?
[–]lern_too_spel 3 points4 points5 points 27 days ago
Snake117 claimed a majority of CfA workers don't share Dan Cathy's beliefs. I find that hard to believe.
A majority of the people in the states where CfA operates are against gay marriage. (In many cases, more than 2/3 in order to pass state constitution amendments banning it.) There is no reason to believe employees of CfA are more progressive than their surroundings, especially when the company's business practices are overtly Christian.
Extraordinary claims like snake117's require proof.
[–]snake117 0 points1 point2 points 27 days ago
You can find a chick fil a in every state, im not saying all employees are tolerant, but i think its fair to say that most of them just want to do their job and get a paycheck. If i were an employee, it wouldnt be my job to tell you my opinion on it, therefore while im on the job it doesnt matter what i think of it. My only job is to give you your chicken.
[–]KarmaAddict[S] 0 points1 point2 points 27 days ago
thats what hitlers gestapo said too
What? And thanks for getting on my ass about documentation by the way. You essentially just made the opposite to my claim that most employees are tolerant, then after your little rant, you failed to show any proof. Hypocritical much?
[–]davefromdallas -2 points-1 points0 points 27 days ago
I just stumbled on this post to do a bit of trolling, but I see you have beat me here... ON TO OTHER POSTS!!!
[–]KarmaAddict[S] -10 points-9 points-8 points 28 days ago
He heads the corporate structure and has divulged what he does with our money. So um yeah, fuck them and their employees. If they don't share the same beliefs then quit otherwise i'm going to give them the same look :).
[–]snake117 8 points9 points10 points 28 days ago
A job is a job, most people who work there cant afford to quit.
[–]KarmaAddict[S] -8 points-7 points-6 points 28 days ago
going out on a "limb" here but seriously, if there is a Chickfilet in your town imma bet there are a few other jobs around.
[–]snake117 3 points4 points5 points 28 days ago
Not really, going along with what ive seen, i would assume most people who work at a fast food store are in their teens or low twenties. Those people, especially the ones in college, probably cant afford to go even a short period without a cash income. Dont get me wrong, i think the CEO is a douchenozzel, but i think to say that everyone who works for CFA is as bad as him is a bit much
[–]AverageGatsby91 2 points3 points4 points 28 days ago
I fucking love Chic-Fil-a, but I can't rightfully give them money because of the causes they donate to. Everyone has the right to say whatever they want, but if they take my money and give it to something I don't care for, I probably won't give them any more money.
I do find it despicable that mayors have been banning the establishment from cities completely. This is just wrong and is not how our country should be run. So what if the company is run by a bigot. The only people who can prevent Chic-fil-a from establishing a franchise are the owners of the building or ground that they are attempting to purchase or lease.
[–]KarmaAddict[S] -7 points-6 points-5 points 28 days ago
If you stand for nothing then you'll stand for anything. Time to figure out how to get through that 3 weeks without a paycheck.
Have you seen the video where the man berates the hell out of the girl in the drive thru at chick-fil-a? Thats what this reminds me of. Heres the point. Its not the employees job to care about what the CEO believes, their one, and only real job at any place of work is to give quality service. In a way, by not acknowledging what the CEO believes, they are standing up for what they believe. They just do what theyre payed to. Make chicken, keep customers happy, and not take stances about it.
[–]davefromdallas 1 point2 points3 points 27 days ago
NOOOOO WAAAAY, you are wronski, sir... I have been to the Fil-A all across the USA and been told "god bless", you telling me THAT many ppl still believe in deities? I think not... they are doing it because the CEO told them too. Plain and simple, your argument is invalid, end of line.
[–]snake117 1 point2 points3 points 27 days ago
Ive never heard any server at chick fil a ever say godbless.
Hmm maybe your store didn't get the memo, give it a shot next time you hand over one of those damn tasty chicken sammies. You never know your next customer could be a secret shopper and you could get kudos from your CEO????
they have to say at least "my pleasure". One source for da snake http://www.fastcompany.com/resources/customer/chickfila.html
[–]KarmaAddict[S] -6 points-5 points-4 points 28 days ago
I'm sorry you got stuck working at a bigots restaurant but time to man up and find another job.
[–]unclebag 4 points5 points6 points 28 days ago
Great piece on NPR discussed the problem these franchises have had because of one idiot. One owner actively supports his local lgbta through fundraising saying hat he promotes his community. What is he supposed to do? Close up shop because the CEO is dumb? Never been to a chikafil cause I think it's gross but I guarantee the people that are getting the shit end of the stick are just people trying to live.
[–]DiscoRage 2 points3 points4 points 28 days ago
You're a fuckin' idiot. I hope when you're a bit older, you get the chance to spend some time being unemployed because you can't find work in your field, but you're too overqualified to work in fast food. You little shit. Situations aren't always black and white.
[–]davefromdallas 2 points3 points4 points 27 days ago*
@DiscoRage: You should have stayed out of the disco and stayed in school, maybe then you too would be qualified for more than fast food employment... just pointing that out
Please clarify, you talkin to me or the other guy?
[–]KarmaAddict[S] -1 points0 points1 point 27 days ago
Way to bold your letters douche. have fun sleeping at night dreaming about chicken, meanwhile i am going to be a real man and work at, i dont know, one of the other hundreds of jobs out there. "you little shit" sounds like a pedophile, is that your game DiscoRage?
I actually dont work at chick fil a, just because i defend some employees doesnt mean i work there
[–]davefromdallas 0 points1 point2 points 27 days ago
Yes it does, you sir, work at Chick-Fil-A... and you make one damn tasty chicken sammy
[–]TyleReddit 2 points3 points4 points 28 days ago
I found myself doing this yesterday as I drove by a papa john's.
[–]drunkenwaffle 2 points3 points4 points 27 days ago
Damn, I loved The Wire.
Soooo, just tossing this out there... if the Head Chicken farmer guy for Chick Fil-A catches two chickens scissoring, do they process them... or do they get tossed aside? This could be a great avenue to investigate if I were a chicken. Could be life saving...
[–]SarcasticMC 1 point2 points3 points 28 days ago
Today my after taking my dog to the animal hospital (She wasn't eating), she asked where I wanted to eat. I said Sonic or Chicken Express, the only other options besides Chick Fil A, but she said she wanted to go there. Not wanting to tell my mom I was against their principles (I haven't told her I'm atheist), I ate there. All I could think while eating a chicken sandwich was that bigotry never tasted so good.
[–]Batboylives -1 points0 points1 point 28 days ago*
Hi I'm an American, I'm completely unaware that most of the companies that breast feed me my products 1 engage in regular unethical behavior, 2 have staunch political stances, 3 aggressively seek to have their interests and opinions served. I IGNORE this for convenience, because where else can I get sponges, cereal, and a broom all in one place? BUT, every now and then one honestly and openly spoon feeds me their stance. This requires NO RESEARCH on my part, no action, it's as easy as joining a bandwagon and I feel like I'm helping! I almost forgot to mention, the stance of a chicken restaurant on gay marriage couldn't be a less important issue, be you gay, republican, transgender, whatever. There's a plethora of more critical issues, pressing and potentially solvable. 1 example, while people are taking sides over gay chicken, they forget that nearly 3,000 people die annually from unclean food! That's a yearly 9-11 happening on your plate, if that isn't irony I don't know what is. But that's an issue that would require some activism, sacrifice, knowledge, and it isn't sexy enough for mainstream media, so fuck it. At least I'm contributing by feeding the intentions of my political caretakers, empowering interests that should be ignored, and clogging avenues of meaningful discourse!
[–]lern_too_spel 3 points4 points5 points 28 days ago
Hi, I'm batboylives, and I don't understand boycotts.
Learning about what every company does and then individually choosing whether you agree with it accomplishes nothing. A boycott is choosing one company that is easy to stay away from and publicizing it to enough other people to cause a dent.
[–]Batboylives 2 points3 points4 points 28 days ago*
I understand boycotts, and their costs, and publicity stunts as well. I apologize that the CONSTANT mention between papa johns, oreos, and chic fil-a has me considering the priorities and intelligence of our citizens.
edit: I personally am more offended that they are saying anything at all, above what they have to say. Shut up and make the cookies, no one asked you to weigh in on anything else. Same thing with Tebow. You throw a ball around, shut up, no one asked what you think about the large hadron collider asshole.
[–]KarmaAddict[S] 4 points5 points6 points 28 days ago
in a country built on consumerism, the biggest way of changing things is where you spend you money.
[–]maysque 1 point2 points3 points 28 days ago
Yea but the point is that the majority of people wait for scandals to happen before they take a look at what companies are doing.
