Yeah... they're called allies, not thralls. But since this is the 500th thread about chic fil a and this post is the 1,000th one pulling the hardline "if you eat chic fil a you can't be an ally" stance, I pretty much know how this convo will go.
Enjoy your moral superiority and be glad that this kind of nonsense doesn't actually impact who actually is an ally in literally any other, more important and impactful facet of their lives apart from their fast food choices.
This imaginary equation where a chicken sandwich means they hate you says a lot about you tbh.Not much of an "Ally" if all it takes is some crappy chicken to not give a shit about them.

Same. It's not bad but nothing special imo.
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?Their staff are forced to say creepy ass shit when you go to order.
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.I never said hate, maybe you should read what you quoted again?
A lot of it are Halo Effects:
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.
Maybe that 'not a progressive forum' thread was on to something.
No thanks, no interest in supporting a company with openly bigoted values.
I'll stick to Popeyes.
You ain't neva lied, my friend.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.

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.
Likewise with the defensiveness from your side.This imaginary equation where a chicken sandwich means they hate you says a lot about you tbh.
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.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.

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.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.
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.Southern contemporaries; is CFA good enough and worth the moral dilemma to check it out?
If it's an inconsequential act, then why do it in the first place especially when you have other options available to you?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.
Good to know how little the LGBTQ2S+ means to you.
Wow Canada doesnt have Chik fil a???
What else dont you guys have..
I stand corrected. The information I had read the last time this topic came up indicated they rolled back the donations via their Chick-fil-A non for profit/charity wing. It does appear they're still doing these donations, albeit not as overtly and less explicitly than before.
