It's always packed. Michael Moore is sitting in a CFA right now wolfing a six-pack of spicies. Chaz Bono and Barney Frank are sharing a booth. Roseanne tried to sneak in in disguise, but was quickly recognized when she asked for double waffle fries. Herndon Graddick is thrilled that he gets no press and nobody knows what he looks like so he can get his chicken caesar wrap without attracting attention.

Ok feel good stories about CFA are popping up on FB. I'm not buying this one. Specifically the part where the manager let them all eat for free.

After my husband returned from Iraq last year, he wanted to go to CFA for lunch since he hadn't had it for about 8 months. One of our friends called ahead to our local CFA since there was going to be about 15 of us and it was during the lunch hour. When we got there, they had a table set up complete with patriotic decorations, flags, and tablecloths! The staff waited on us at our table and took our orders, and the manager came by and insisted that he was paying for everyone's lunch! It was so special and awesome and made a huge impression on all of us. I don't know of any other fast food restaurant that would have done that for us.

Let them eat for free vs. manager paying is a small, but distinct difference. CFA was not out any money if he paid for it himself.

I'm always impressed by their customer service. Even today, while the lines were long and tables full, they were making rounds, offering refills and bringing them to your table, be polite and efficient.

The food is ok. Where they shine in particular is customer service. I don't think I've ever been to a fast food place where they will bring the rest of your order to your table - where they offer to get you a refill - and so on. I've heard many people say this, and I agree - you'll attract more people with mediocre food and great service than you will with outstanding food and poor service.

And I've been to a few regular franchise places down here I really don't want to go back to, because of inept treatment, lack of cleanliness, surly staff and just plain mistakes without apology. The attitude appears to be, hey, it's fast food, what did you expect?

Apparently the CEO of Chick-Fil-A has been going around to gay-bars at night and grabbing random homosexuals, which he subsequently hog-ties, and drags behinds his truck. They have also taken a firm stance where they will not hire, nor serve food to gay individuals.






Or that's what the left and the media* would have you and I believe.

What actually happened was the CEO answered a question about their stance on gay marriage, and he basically said they support the traditional biblical view of marriage.



Clearly, the Chick-Fil-A empire is spear-headed by a fagbashing homophobic frothing-at-the-mouth anti-gay zealot.

With full respect, withrespect, no controversy at all, really. Just the owner saying he believes and supports traditional family values, and that his company holds to those same policies. Christian principles, ya know.

I had my vanilla milkshake at a local CFA this morning. Just like my vanilla belief of traditional values as well.

Probably just wanted in on the lunch crush... heh heh...

One thing I will say for the media... They are reporting what he said, vs. what all the libtards are interpreting it too...

In the CFAs it seems like about 35/65 on free speech to traditional marriage for their reasons on showing... Of course that's what reported...

A few like this:

People get food poisoning every day, and don't even know it. Food poison is also confused with staph poisoning, which has similar symptoms. You can get food poisoning from your own kitchen, and not have symptoms until after you've eaten somewhere else, making you think you got food poisoning from a food establishment.

I'm not saying that it wasn't food poisoning, but one should know that it could be more than the obvious.

Here is what is most interesting in all of this. The military is anti-Christ personified. Let's actually read the bible rathan than just thumping it - "Thou shalt not kill". So,if CFA is a "christian values" centric place,they should be anti-military. Furthmore,to be christian is to say one is "christ-like". That is the definition. And if that is tthe case,bear in mind another quote from the bible "Judge not,lest ye be judged". CFA was not necessarily condemned due to the comment but moreso because the comment was given in a very glib manner and they fund some very hateful groups with a lot of decidedly un-christ-like rhetoric.

I don't know about other folks regarding CFA, but I know my primary beef with the issue (pun intended) is we now have mayors of major cities saying "I'm not going to let you bring your business here". They have broken no laws. They've discriminated against no one. They've done nothing unethical. A man was asked his opinion, and he gave it, and I found it neither judgmental nor insulting.

But we now have a mayor of a city saying, you can't work here because of something you believe - and that's wrong.

It doesn't matter what the belief is. The great thing about freedom of expression is that it doesn't just protect other people, it protects you, too. It means when you believe something other people don't like, you can do that. It ALSO means when OTHER people believe things YOU don't like, they can do that too.

As I understand it, people weren't planning to boycott CFA - they wanted to swarm them and just order water. They were going to PUNISH them for not thinking as they do. And so I am expressing MY right to express freely. My voice is as free as anyone else's.

Let's actually read the bible rathan than just thumping it - "Thou shalt not kill".

A couple of things about "Thou shalt not kill"

That's an anglicanized word from a roman translation of a greek translation of a hebrew manuscript.

The original text translates to: "Do not commit murder". This excludes things such as self-defense, war, executions, etc.

Secondly - that's from the Old Testament. To Christians, the old testament is good for historical context and prophetic recordings. The laws set forth in the Old Testament are not binding to Christians.


So,if CFA is a "christian values" centric place,they should be anti-military. Furthmore,to be christian is to say one is "christ-like". That is the definition.

That's so not the definition.

Supporters of Chick-fil-A turned out in droves Wednesday morning at the chicken chain’s downtown Chicago and Orland Park restaurants in the wake of criticism directed at the company for an executive’s anti-gay marriage comments.

Now that is funny stuff...

IIRCC you had something going on and could not make it so maybe not so much of a turn down as an "I'm busy".
I'll be going again tomorrow night about 7 and who knows when else after that. The old bay wings were my favorite until I tried the steamed crab wings.Yes! I remember that! And it is the steamed crab wings that I like! See, I haven't been there in awhile...:lol:

I don't know about other folks regarding CFA, but I know my primary beef with the issue (pun intended) is we now have mayors of major cities saying "I'm not going to let you bring your business here". They have broken no laws. They've discriminated against no one. They've done nothing unethical. A man was asked his opinion, and he gave it, and I found it neither judgmental nor insulting.

But we now have a mayor of a city saying, you can't work here because of something you believe - and that's wrong.

It doesn't matter what the belief is. The great thing about freedom of expression is that it doesn't just protect other people, it protects you, too. It means when you believe something other people don't like, you can do that. It ALSO means when OTHER people believe things YOU don't like, they can do that too.


:yeahthat:
I agree.

Secondly - that's from the Old Testament. To Christians, the old testament is good for historical context and prophetic recordings. The laws set forth in the Old Testament are not binding to Christians.



Where does it say that?

In the new testament.

I';m sure we're not going to see any of these stories on the news..

But we'll hear how some poll somewhere says their "opinion values" are down 40%.. CATASTROHIC losses for Chick-Fil-A for anti gay marriage stance..

Not in the MSM anyway. They're pretty much ignoring it which is pretty typical when a news story doesn't fit their liberal world-view. Hopefully people are snapping pictures and posting them online.

Must be that the greater % of the population finally got the cajones to stand up to the noise makers. I don't usually go to CFL ,but I did to support their stance.I am tired of small ,mouthy groups telling the rest of us that we must change to their way of thinking.Protect the Constitution and all of the amendments at all costs.

The anti-GLBT crowd have always made the most noise, no different today. Most people just don't care.

Personally, all my conservative friends on Facebook, ramming this down my throat, forced me to take the position of "I'm gonna shove a chicken down someone's ####ing throat" on an issue I otherwise give zero ####s about.

And IDGAF if we're a "Christian" nation, rights are rights.

Ok feel good stories about CFA are popping up on FB. I'm not buying this one. Specifically the part where the manager let them all eat for free.

So you've never actually eaten at a CFA.

Sorry for you.

There's a story of the local California store on 235 sending boxes full of condiments to the troops in Iraq, gratis, because the troops asked if they could buy some, since it would remind them of home, and they couldn't very well ship food over to the suck.

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is about their food... Just like every other fast food joint...:barf:

For us older folk, we don't eat all the food we get anymore. We end up taking half or more of it home. It's nice to get fries home that aren't all slimy with oil. That alone ought to tell you something about the quality of their food, and the preparation thereof.

Here is what is most interesting in all of this. The military is anti-Christ personified. Let's actually read the bible rathan than just thumping it - "Thou shalt not kill". So,if CFA is a "christian values" centric place,they should be anti-military. Furthmore,to be christian is to say one is "christ-like". That is the definition. And if that is tthe case,bear in mind another quote from the bible "Judge not,lest ye be judged". CFA was not necessarily condemned due to the comment but moreso because the comment was given in a very glib manner and they fund some very hateful groups with a lot of decidedly un-christ-like rhetoric. Now this is all of no consequence because I don't care who likes it up the ass. I like gay people and I like chicken.

Somebody's off their meds, apparently.

I'm NOT wading through all the posts, so if somebody already mentioned this, tough.

But I find it kinda ironic that he used "Chik-Fil-A" and "packed" in the same sentence. Just sayin'
