Great Food and Service sounds good, but what are the Values, Mr. Graham?

Chicken deluxe and a side of triggered libs please

Is it wrong to say the owners have a right to freedom of expression?

Religion can't die out fast enough.

I was told by conservatives that liberals should just go somewhere else if they disagree with a company's values. Now CFA has a right to business regardless of people's feelings on them?

Lindsey Graham would have an exactly opposite reaction if a school didn't want a gay friendly restaurant on campus.

Who knew Chik Fil A would be one of the major factions in the second Civil War

---

Chicken War? I wonder if it'll go better than the Emu War.

---

I mean, broken clocks and chicken stock

Overcompensating.

Conservatives brains are turning to mush

Sounds like your average cfa fan to be honest

no, just like its not wrong for public opinion to impact revenue.

so why is the government getting involved here?

---

And yeah I don't get what @sabrestorm is getting at.

Of course the owners have a right to expression, but they don't have a right to anyone's business.

This is the kind of stuff that makes Republicans great. Defending a homophobic and racist Chicken place not being allowed in the private college while the covid death rate in the south keeps going up. Everyday I am so proud that he represents me. Like all republicans they care so deeply about the average person, and wants to make sure that they have the ability to get mid quality chicken, for an outrageous price. Republicans are surely the gift to America. That Heaven above for the brave Republicans .

What's the conflict here?

Open up a CFA at Notre Dame, and if nobody goes there, it'll quickly fold.

This lame duck piece of shit has no spine or any sort of principles to begin with. Fuck graham and the rest of the scum gop.

If people are boycotting Chick fil-A, they better be boycotting most businesses in America as well. I'd be willing to bet that these boycotters still shop at Wal-Mart lol.

That's my problem with it anyway. If you're going to do something, stay consistent. Otherwise you're just doing it for optics.

---

Also, Lindsey Graham wouldn't fight a war to save himself. He's a spineless coward

---

I like CFA but they're getting a bit irritating

A better analogy would be an adult bookstore trying to open up in town.
You'll have a small part of the community who really likes it, a huge majority who are ambivalent or indifferent, and a small and very vocal opposition.

This has always been a shit meme, but it's amplified by the fact that Wal-Mart isn't even close to the only store that you can shop at. But people love to put convenience above their beliefs, or lack-there-of.

You really must not know how limited people options are.

why

"I won't shop at Chik fil-A because they donate to groups that are opposed to gay marriage, but I'll gladly shop at Wal-Mart, even though they donate to republicans who generally support the same thing" is almost as inconsistent of a belief as a Trump supporter who hates authoritarianism.

then again, Graham would likely compare his stance to black people who performed sit-ins at Whites Only restaurants....

It a lot of small towns, walmart has effectively run out all the competition by either pricing them out or taking up the available labor force

But that's not what this topic is about, you're just trying to deflect away from criticisms of Chic Fil A for reasons that truly confound all of us

I mean

• Depending on where they live, these two things aren't comparable.
• You don't know that this is actually the case lol

Seems to me like you're just looking for any reason to disregard this lol

So, whine and complain and picket, so that walmart stays away.
Now the mom & pop stores (actually a Dollar General) can charge too much for stuff they never seem to have, while the people who can afford to drive to the next town over (or hypocrites with a mailing address) still get the convenience of walmart anyway.

All I know is, I tried McDonalds crispy chicken sandwich (Free with $1 purchase), and it was basically like a dried out chickfila sandwich.

I like Chick-fil-A and could care less what the CEO's of places I get food from do.

I'll pass on the bigot chicken.

It's never been on point, outside of where it originated.

And in a lot of small towns, they haven't. Also, aren't most "small towns" typically full of republican's, while big cities make up the large democrat majority? That is the case, btw, which means most of these boy cotters could easily avoid Wal-Mart, which they undoubtedly do not.

I'm not deflecting anything, just pointing out that people who boycott Chik fil-A but refuse to do so to their nifty go to establishments don't actually care about what they're boycotting for. Everyone with sense knows that Chik fil-A donating to anti-gay churches is shitty.

Let's put this lame message board to the test.

I like Chick Fli A and will be eating there soon.

Except most democrats live in big cities with ample amounts of stores that aren't Wal-Mart. So, in the majority of cases they are comparable.

I'm not disregarding anything, just pointing out the hypocrisy and stupidity.

Would the "world's most caring company" slaughter billions of chickens and support ending gays?

They need to give up this gimmick and just be a normal fast food joint.

Virtue signalling is by no means a recent phenomenon. The "Family Values" crowd invented it several generations ago.

Whatever, maybe I'll get to gun down some Nazis like my grandpa did

So it's weird to assume that everyone shops there anyway lol
