Chic Fil A coming to Canada (Toronto) in 2019
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
I feel like CFA has been going down hill quality wise ever since they started this global expansion.
Now I didn't say bad, but I do think it's taken a dip in quality food wise.

If the chicken is good and locations are plenty I'll try it. I don't get when people say we have too many fast food places....they're all shit.
If it adds to the overpriced fast food mediocrity then I will ignore it.

Not much of an "Ally" if all it takes is some crappy chicken to not give a shit about them.
This imaginary equation where a chicken sandwich means they hate you says a lot about you tbh.
As mentioned, CFA already has a location in Canada, but the menu is limited and the location remote (unless you want to visit an airport for chicken).
I hope that this is a start of an expansion across Canada, as Popeyes has been very successful in this regard, and Jollibee is following suit.
The more competitors to the declining KFC, the better.

I never said hate, maybe you should read what you quoted again?
Never ate them, but you've already lost if you're eating biscuits from any fast food place not named Bojangles.
Lies. Their fried and grilled chicken are tender and juicy. My sister once drove four hours from Savannah to my old house with a box of their nuggets, and they were tender as hell when she got there.
I've never had anybody say anything creepy to me at the window or the counter before. What did they say to you, exactly?
Given how most of the problems you have with their customer service and food appear to be either made up or just an absolute fluke, it's not hard to see how they actually are still in business.
Hatred or indifference, you're making the same judgment call and negating any other things people do in their lives based on the fast food joint they eat at.
A lot of it are Halo Effects:
Service is extremely good. It kills most fast food service, which is horrible
Stores are clean
Staff is friendly
Service is fast
Food is better than most fast food trash
There you go.
Agreed. I mean, it's good, but it's nothing special, IMO. To me it just tastes like run of the mill fast food chicken - but at an insane price tag.
Yeah I take back what I said in it lol
Who cares about gay people when we can get some chicken
I've never had CFA as none are near me, but ever since the Popeyes in my city opened some years ago, I haven't gone back to KFC since. Their spicy tenders and biscuits are divine and I'm easily happy with them so no need to try/support CFA.
How many people here currently praising CFA were just the other day outraged over Papa Johns latest scandal? Because CFA is more morally repugnant than Papa Johns and that's saying something.
You ain't neva lied, my friend.
The last Chick-Fil-A thread taught me that we shouldn't ask allies to walk the walk; hell, we shouldn't ask them to do anything. We should just be accepting of their flaws, such as wittingly supporting homophobic businesses. When did we forget our place and start thinking we could demand things from our betters? Uppity, uppity, uppity! And apparently these chicken sandwiches cure impotence, baldness, ALS, and the stanky leg, because some people would rather stab their mommas than stop going to Chick-Fil-A.
Posters in that thread responded by gleefully posting pictures of their orders and waxing poetic about the wonderful chicken. I got called a purity testing liberal who was the reason Trump won.
So yes, I have very limited expectations of straight ~~~allies~~~.
There's two things some people on this site have issues with. One is the concept of redemption/forgiveness. The other is not being able to see the forest for the trees. Someone can be 99% in favor of, an ally to, or supportive of something, but one act immediately and permanently makes one an enemy or not to be trusted. No matter how small or insignificant the act is. Some frame this as "you can't do one simple thing," whereas it can also be characterized as "this is me doing one simple thing compared to everything else." It's frustrating, but you learn to ignore it. Thankfully this is not the majority of people here.
That's how I feel about this. I've participated in voter registration drives, rallied against ICE in support of detainees, and attended town halls with my representatives asking important questions as an admin of our local indivisible group. But I eat a chicken sandwich from a local franchisee, who is doing wonderful things for our community, who's employees are always in a great mood and not have a crap
Attitude, are paid well compared to other fast food employees and with restaurants so clean, that it puts other casual restaurants to shame.
And im apparently the horrible ally
Their chicken biscuits are total crack for me. However, not worth it to be giving my money to their anti-LGBTQ causes, particularly as a queer person.
Likewise with the defensiveness from your side.
It says that I think it's ridiculous to nullify everything someone may do in support of LGBTQ causes based on something as inconsequential as buying food at a restaurant, sure.
If arguing against stupid positions makes me defensive, then sure, I'm being defensive.
Basically, don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

It's not that black and white for me. I've been to franchises managed by queer people, or supporting local LGBT groups, and the two closest ones to me both employ gay people. Plus the staff has only ever been nice to me and my partner.
Sometimes it feels akin to boycotting tipping culture by stiffing your waitress... just not something I can rationalize.
For the "allies" that are cool with supporting Chik because it is supposedly inconsequential, here's a link to some things the Family Research Coucil is responsible for. They're the "charity" that Chik donates to, once directly, but now by filtering it through another organization to cover their tracks.

For sure. Even working there is pretty great. The minimum pay for a regular employee is over double minimum wage here in Texas for example.
If it's an inconsequential act, then why do it in the first place especially when you have other options available to you?
Good to know how little the LGBTQ2S+ means to you.
Apple Jacks save for a limited release here and there. Crunch Berries too. USA is a cereal paradise.
Was looking at Toronto's current non chain offerings

so then why are we advocating them, is it because the chicken is so good?
it's a serious question.
Every Canadian who's been to Florida has probably tried it already.
It's good, but overrated af. Wouldn't sell my morals a second time.
Same with the Publix chicken. I don't get what it is with ERA and overhyping fast food chains. We see threads for minor menu changes and product launches lol.

We just got a Popeyes where I live. It's way better than I had expected.
