Bill, just about every grocery store makes its own fried chicken.

I said I am bummed, not suicidal. Also, last I checked Publix doesnt have a drive thru.

sucks that there's such a paucity of fried chicken in the USA that people are forced to eat at chic-fil-a

You are truly an idiot.
Sweet -- you got a Publix nearby. Their chicken rules.

also why is this news re. chik-fil-a just breaking these past few weeks? somehow i knew about their donations years ago...

I've never been to Chik-Fil-A (there weren't any where I lived when I still ate meat), so I don't know how good the food is -- but the company's overt Christianity (closed on the Sabbath!) weirded me out even before the anti-gay brouhaha.

amateurist people have known about the donations for years but it's in the news because of this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/17/dan-cathy-chick-fil-a-president-anti-gay_n_1680984.html

Not that there's a Chik-Fil-A in NYC, or maybe NYU had one in one of its cafeterias for like a second? That can't have lasted long or ended well, under the circs? But yeah, their religiousity was always gross to me.

I don't remember them ever saying "Have a blessed day!" when they were on campus but I only went there maybe 3 times
― PITILESS LIVE SHOW (DJP), Tuesday, 24 July 2012 20:24 (twelve years ago) link
also if they were to say that on campus, it's likely they would burst into flames
― PITILESS LIVE SHOW (DJP), Tuesday, 24 July 2012 20:25 (twelve years ago) link
of course the guy could have said "have a messed-up day" because whenever I approach the counter I mince.

I'm not sure if comparing them to fried chicken places is valid because Chik-fil-a is almost all chicken patties/nuggets/strips. It's mostly finger food.

Yeah, this is kind of odd. I thought their conservative/fundie/homophobe bona fides were universally known. I've been avoiding giving them my money for at least a decade, since I heard about them donating to Eagle Forum and the AFA and such.

also people who are bummed about chick-fil-a: it's just shitty fried chicken, you can get pretty much the same thing at mcdonald's or popeyes or kfc without directly funding a publicly homophobic company

not defending chick-fil-a as a company but their batter's got a unique flavor compared to most of those chains.

this has literally never happened to me at a chick-fil-a. i also worked at a chick-fil-a for a few weeks right before graduating high school. i imagine it might be different for store managers or franchise owners, but there was zero religious pressure put on me or any employees that i could see. in any case, fuck 'em.

I've been in only one CAF in my life so this might be the policy at the store located in the secular heart of a diseased county, i.e. a public university in Miami-Dade.

I stopped eating Popeye's because of the "Annie the Chicken Queen" commercials, and now this. I need to eat less fried food though so I guess overall it's a plus.
also the only times Chick-Fil-A employees have said stuff like "have a blessed day!" to me were in semi-rural regions where a Wendy's or Burger King employee would have said the same thing. I've never been too weirded out by the closed on Sunday thing. That's not an offensive practice imo.

the only chik-fil-a i've ever been to was on my old campus, where the employees were obv just stressed-out students trying to move the line along as fast as possible -- so yeah, never got to hear 'have a blessed day.'
