Stewart's has free air (What a sentence to write out), if you're in the northeast. They have good ass ice cream on the cheap too.
Bring $10 in change to Chik-Fil-A, get $10 in cash and free food (due to coin shortage)

Some stations give it away for free. Here we have Sinclair/Stinker gas stations where you can get free air.
also some tire stores will refill your tires for free
It's also MUCH easier to simply go to the next drive-thru than it is to completely avoid using technology altogether. There are so many other lunch options out there.
Except I only brought up that example in response to people saying "fuck anyone that doesn't partake in my boycott" and not as an attempt to dissuade anyone from partaking in said boycott?
For instance, being Puerto Rican, I wouldn't call anyone who still buys Goya products "lacking in moral fibre," even though issues affecting Hispanics are obviously near and dear to me, especially as someone who personally suffered from Trump's handling of hurricane Maria.

I was only finger wagging at the hypocrites saying anyone who doesn't partake in their boycott is morally deficient.
$4 on a chicken sandwich every now than then go a hell of a lot less further toward subsidizing homophobia than do the thousands of dollars in tech and clothing everyone spends every year go toward subsidizing slavery. Try to argue otherwise.
You should really have a portable tire inflator in your trunk. I always have one with me. Great for emergencies and you never have to use the coin operated ones again.
They aren't super expensive, either. I think I got my current one for under $50.
It's easy for people to find other options for a chicken sandwich, while it can be more difficult to find more ethical clothing or tech. You used an example of iPhone's earlier in this thread when you aren't aware of what phones people are using in this thread. And you would be right to point out that all phones are made in unethical conditions, but for a lot of us, we use our phones to look for jobs or in our work and require them in order to make a living. This is part of the reason that we have programs for providing homeless people with cell phones.
And again with clothes, those are a necessity for most people. We can't just go without and income can limit people's options from where they are able to pick from ethical and unethical clothing. None of these are really comparable to a fast food restaurant when there are countless other options for food that are cheaper and more accessible.
It's effortless not to buy new tech or new videogames every year--literally effortless.
Everyone can be making an attempt at reducing their own consumption of tech, especially if they're aware that they're subsidizing literal slavery to the tune of thousands of dollars every year. But they probably won't. I'm not going to call them morally deficient for it, though.

I work in IT, and I work from home. How do you expect me to avoid buying any new tech at all? Again, you can not compare tech, clothes, or before you even suggest it, gasoline to something as easy to replace and avoid as a chicken sandwich.
People eat lunch every day.
People do not buy shoes, iphones and computers every day.
An honest dollars-for-dollars comparison would have included that math.
You just want to deflect.
The point I'm trying to make is that boycotts are an individual choice and that nobody is morally deficient for the boycotts that they choose to partake in.
If spending $4 on a chicken sandwich every now and then is morally deficient, then so is not even making an effort to attempt to reduce (and note that I'm saying *reduce*--not eliminate) one's consumption of tech and videogames. (Don't get hung up on that example, though.)
An example I brought up earlier: boycotting Goya. As a Puerto Rican, I wouldn't personally begrudge anyone or think they're morally deficient for not boycotting Goya, even though buying a different food brand is also relatively easy to do.
My dude, you don't know the first thing about the people in this thread. You don't know our spending habits, our careers, what's required for living in our area, or anything about us but you're seriously upset that people would judge you for supporting a homophobic company that makes sandwiches. Stop assuming that everyone cares as little as you about these issues
I'm fairly certain most of the people in this thread will keep on buying videogames and keep on not trying to somewhat limit their tech consumption even while being perfectly cognizant of how their money is subsidizing literal slavery. I won't think they're morally deficient for it, though.
The difference is I wouldn't go into thread about Goya Foods when someone brings up an injustice and make a post insinuating other people eat chicken sandwiches at Chik Fil-A so it's all okay. It takes zero effort to not make a whataboutism post.
I only posted in response to people saying things like "fuck you if you eat at Chick-fil-A" and "people who eat at Chick-fil-A lack moral fiber."
I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from boycotting them, which is what you're implying I'm doing.
Use the pandemic to kill off coins, please! All money should be printed on plastic, and have holograms. No one should have to carry a bunch of tiny metal shards as currency in 2020.
Edit:
The correct response.

Many that work in service industry or work 'cash jobs' Not everyone gets direct deposit and have credit cards.
Somehow I think they'll still be able to get away with selling their sandwiches as normal.
A fast food chain being short on coins doesn't give us much to talk about.
I don't know what purpose a thread about this can serve except to promote Chik-Fil-A.

I mean you are missing the point of a chain giving free food for coins.
That's neat and all but screw Chick-fil-A and their rampant homophobia.
LGBT rights matter more than chicken sandwiches so this thread is now locked.
