It's so good. Canes is by far the #1 "hangout" fast-food place in Louisiana. I see millennials and gen z friend groups everywhere in Canes. People out-of-state think Louisianans are stan-ing Popeyes lol. Nah we way past that. Everyone else living in 2010. And that Canes sauce omg

Unless you live off the grid (and thus shouldn't even be posting here) there's like a 90% chance you do business with a company involved in shit practices.

if you own any products or do any type of business with the above companies kindly see yourself at the gate for the 'hypocrite badge' you've been awarded. we meet every Tuesday.

disentangling yourself from monopoly moguls like amazon, apple, and walmart, who nearly dictate our day to day life, is a lot more difficult than NOT EATING A FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH.

like i promise you, there's at least one other local fried chicken place in your area. i promise.

are any of those companies for the active oppression of a group of people?

I am not pointing fingers at anyone for eating there, but personally, I can't support them and I do actively try to avoid companies with shitty practices in general.

BossAttack · Nov 18, 2019

I eat there sometimes, I'll be honest. And yes, their customer service is fantastic. The reason I occasionally go there is the lack of cheap, fast-food choices in my area. I don't want to eat beef for various reasons, so I'm looking for mostly a good chicken sandwich when it comes to fast food and CFA is the best at that. However, a new Smoothie store just opened in my area that sells Buffalo Chicken Wraps so I may have found a replacement. The only thing that sucks is that they are more expensive.

The way I justify eating at CFA is simple, Gay Marriage is legal. They can donate to whatever hate group they want, they can't change this fact.

efficient? have you seen how backed up they drives thrus be? Im guessing you've been to a few where its not as busy but most of the ones in SoCal fare far worse than Mc donalds drive thru...In N Out is a bit better cuz they tend to be ergonomically placed in big parking lots so if theres a line, just park, and go inside to order

The thing is around here all of the fast food places are starting to get like that. I spent over 5 minutes in the McDonald's drivethru yesterday trying to get some hotcakes and a couple of coffees. It was over 15 minutes the last time I went through the Whataburger drivethru, and they do split you into two lines. Both of those were app orders too, but I took the chance so I wouldn't have to get out of the car and lost.

Chick-fil-A's advantage is they don't cook to order. Most times if you go inside, there's very little wait for the food.

To all the anti-chick fil a people here, I have a legitimate, totally serious question I want to ask.

What do you think of people who are LGBTQ, that still eat at Chick Fil A? Ranging from every now and then to every week. Do they get a pass? Are they traitors?

I'm honestly curious because just from my anecdotal life experiences I know more gay people who like Chick Fil A vs those 100% against eating there. I have no idea what the actual distribution would be. I had one friend tell me he thought it was hypocritical for some people to be so against chick fil a and anyone who eats there to turn a blind eye toward the many human rights abuses involved in making other products they consume.

I'm not sure, not something I've encountered with any of my LGBTQ coworkers. There have been multiple promenent homosexuals that have worked directly to hurt LGBTQ people. Dick Cheney's daughter, and Milo Yiannopoulos both come to mind. Hell, Milo's also a Jewish guy who worked with Nazis. I don't know why some people give money to groups that considers them sub-human.

That argument though is pretty lazy. It's not hypocrisy because you can't 100% disengage with society. There are certain very simple, extremely easy, decisions you can make though to contribute less to harming others. Not eating at one specific fast food chain is one of them.

Sorry.

In the show "The Good Place" there's a system where people get into "heaven" or get sent to "hell" based on some calculation of their morality, which is a common enough concept.

In a later season (spoilers for the show, if you'll never watch it go right ahead)

we find out that nobody for hundreds of years has made it into the "good place" because there's absolutely no way to consume anything in the world or even live in the world and be moral or ethical. Everything is intertwined so the act of buying a piece of fruit today has so many more ethical ramifications than it did a thousand years ago. There's a man who basically has tried to live a perfectly ethical life, never stepping on bugs, etc., and he has negative points.

BTW, though I haven't been to Chik-Fil-A for a long time, I liked their milkshakes best among the fast food joints. The service was excellent too. Like the McRib though, I will never understand the fast food obsession. It's a decent sandwich, but some of you seem absolutely orgasmic over it.

This is a false equivalence and pretty insulting. Cops can violate the law on a whim and murder innocent people with zero consequence. Can CFA or their addiliated organizations stop a gay person from getting married? Can they do that? Please, tell me where they've been able to achieve this.

RedMercury said:

That's a separate issue and more concerning, that being the funding of gay conversion therapy centers. You can't really justify that and research shows the practice is still legal in most states. Of course one would have to define what "conversion therapy" is, but it's still seems to be on the books. And, support of any such centers is unconscionable. The only rationalizing I could make is that CFA can't force parents to take their kids to such places. Ir's the individual parents that are responsible for torturing their kids. Still, if the torture centers are primarily funded by CFA then one could argue the parents couldn't take them to such places without CFA dollars. And, if CFA is lobbying to keep laws banning them off the books then they are doubly responsible.

It's a situation worth considering.

Lol what an ignorant take. They donate to global organizations that have funded torture conversion therapy globally. Gay marriage isn't legal everywhere they donate to. Frankly just because something is law here, doesn't mean all is well. They still get away with supporting discrimination against gay people on religious freedom grounds in other organizations and support hateful figures. That's wrong.

On what planet do you live where "right to marry" is the gold standard of equality? Yeah, gay people can get married now and that's an important and big step. They're still being persecuted, vilified, assaulted, and actively oppressed on a daily basis. The idea that everything's okay on this front now because gay marriage is legal is what's really fucking insulting, here.

It takes extremely minimal effort to avoid eating at the chicken store. There are a dozen chicken stores a stone's throw away if you absolutely need chicken. All those companies you listed are much harder to avoid or provide more utility than being just a chicken store.

I guess to me its they decide to have this one guilty pleasure. They grew up around it and ate it before they ever knew about any donations.

They are otherwise very supportive of the community, aligned politically, some even do some activist work.

They just don't care and it feels weird for me as a straight dude to tell them they can't eat here. I understand if they maybe receive pressure from others in the community but to me as an outside observer it feels like a liberal shopping at walmart for savings/convenience or choosing to ignore all the problematic issues that stem from companies that manufacture other products.

The other thing I wrestle with is that the majority of my LGBT friends are indifferent about eating at Chick Fil A. Honestly right now I can only think of one who I know for sure refuses to eat there. And come to think of it, he's vegetarian, so it seems like an easy decision to make lol.

I don't know if my anecdotal experience is an outlier or common. I understand there are gay republicans and black trump supporters but they seem incredibly more rare than gay chick fil a eaters.

I understand the people that say that its hard to avoid dealing with problematic aspects of society but its easy to find an alternative to a homophobic fast food restaurant.

I am 100% convinced that they only stan it to troll or because they agree with the anti-LGBT sentiment.

It's free to like something shitty and keep your mouth shut. You don't need to go into a thread talking about X, when X is most well known for being shitty, and blurt out how much you love X. You can stay silent, but if you do, you won't be able to play the victim, and we can't have that.

Some people in this thread comparing eating a fucking fast good item and like, having to use Microsoft Windows and Google, things that are practically monopolies and integral to several careers. Nobody thinks you're evil when you make that sort of point, people think you're DUMB when you try to.

Try not to compare services and neccessities to like, your rumbly lunch tummy cravings being satisfied.

Bad people will go to pretty great lengths to try to prove that they're not bad people. Again, I wish people would just own it and state how little gay peoples' rights and safety means to them, especially in relation to a fried chicken sandwich.

the one thing I'll never get about this forum is how black and white people see things.

i'm an irredeemable piece of shit because I eat a sandwich? lol okay. Guess the hundreds of community service hours I've put in within the last year have all been scraped away because I decided to stop by the nearest fast food joint. Unless you live off the grid (and thus shouldn't even be posting here) there's like a 90% chance you do business with a company involved in shit practices.

Goldman Sachs
JPMorgan Chase
ExxonMobile
DuPont
Bayer
Microsoft
Google
Facebook
Amazon
Walmart
McDonalds
Apple
Nestle

if you own any products or do any type of business with the above companies kindly see yourself at the gate for the 'hypocrite badge' you've been awarded. we meet every Tuesday.

I don't have any choice but to deal with Microsoft or Google/Apple products, or oil companies.

I very much have a choice in where I get my mediocre fast food chicken sammys. If I were to prioritize my lunch over the well-being and respect of others, I'd say yeah, I was being an asshole. I actually found it very easy to stop shopping at Walmart and Amazon and stop using Facebook. It was about as easy as not eating at Chick-Fil-A.

But no, I don't think you are an "irredeemable piece of shit" because you eat there. I just think your priorities are really fucked if you do.

Every single fast food restaurant can learn from Chik-Fil-A in regards to service
