Chick-Fil-A is Awesome.

[SMOGZINN]

They never did "hate." That was just the impression given by runaway media (including social media).

The founders believe homosexuality is a sin, but they love the "sinner" with "brotherly Christian love."

They helped fund the ugandan 'kill the gays' bill. If that is not hate, then I don't know what is.

I thought it was more than that... I thought they donated money to organizations that actively opposed gay marriage.

They did, but the ugandan thing, along with their support of 'reparative therapy' is the real problems. There is a lot of groups that oppose gay marriage, and as long as it is a peaceful opposition then that is acceptable.

They have not been supporting the 'hate' nor 'anti-homosexual' groups for quite some time now.

Their statement was they did not know those groups full mission.

The public never forgets it seems and never remembers the full story.

That is completely untrue, Their public tax records show that all they did was create a new organization "Chick-fil-A Foundation" which they funnel the money to in order to fund those objectionable groups. They have not changed their stance or funding of hate groups, they have only gotten better at moving the money around to make it less obvious.

Love spicy chicken biscuit/sandwich.

Cleanest FF restaurants around with the happiest, most courteous employees around!

Their waffle fries are most excellent. I've been trying to replicate them for the last year with no success:

http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2375116

I think the key to their great texture is having a thicker fry, but still with holes in the middle - that makes it a bit crispier than just a no-holes waffle fry, or a thin-cut waffle fry with holes that doesn't have enough thickness to really bite into. This is a very delicate process y'know

Any idea how they compare to Hardees/Carls Jr. waffle fries?

Besides the spicy chicken sandwich biscuits that are great with strawberry jam, the lunch menu also rocks with spicy chicken deluxe sandwiches.

For dinner you can have another FREE spicy chicken sandwich if you take the survey. They taste great with waffle frys.

On the downside, the menu can get pricey and they are a tad slow sometimes.

CFA's prices are in line with any other FF restaurant. Have you been to whataburger, McD's or Wendy's lately? A value meal will put you around $7-8. And that's w/o upsizing or double meat.

Slow? Are you kidding me? CFA is one of THE fastest FF chains out there. They can get out orders for more people than any other comparable chain. Jimmy Johns might be the only other place that's faster, but they are sandwiches.

Lots of black people work at my local CFA. All employees there are clean, courteous, and friendly.

NVM, I see the person you are quoting claims Chik-Fil-A doesn't hire black people...which is BS.

They also don't hire slobs and losers. They are very selective in who they hire.

Everyone at Chik-Fil-A looks you in the eye, is polite and at least acts like they love to serve.

At most fast food places, you get someone that mumbles, doesn't make eye contact, practically throws your tray at you and wouldn't care if the place burned down with you in it.

Do you have proof?

Ditto.

And in response to the troll posts from Ironwingnut, this was only about the food, the gay issue is no longer front page so nobody is 'up in arms' anymore.

Finally, I have a free survey sandwich that I intend to cash in tomorrow during my day off for Veterans Day.

Love,

In other words, they donated money to Christian family organizations who also have Christian values and don't "hate" gay people. The organizations were not centered on opposing gay marriage though some were as "active" as any Christian family organization with a political opinion on the matter.

Focus on the Family, for example: I have always hated them, but I grew up around Focus on the Family books, radio programs, and cartoons, and such stuff and I can't recall any anti-gay hate. I don't even recall them talking about gay marriage because it wasn't a political hot-button issue yet. The organization to no more extreme a stance than Obama himself, who still publicly opposed in in 2011. Suddenly a Christian organization simply expressing their Christian values is a "hate group?!" Bull.

They wanted you to believe it "was more than that," but it wasn't. Take your blinders off and you'll see that it was just a media rail-road.

I did not know that, thanks for posting. FOTF used to broadcast locally on WBAP for years and havent been on in years....must have lost funding.

I did say a "tad" as in "tad". Whataburger is just damn slow. Period. I can turn off the engine and read a book in the drive through after 10PM.

Since he quoted me so the person was me. Where did I say CFA does not hire black people? I said "Mayberrytown". Learn to read and stop putting your own words into my sentences in which I NEVER said. :thumbsdown:

Mayberry is well known as a fictious town where black people should have been seen, but the show did not portray them.

Mayberry originated in an episode of The Danny Thomas Show and was the setting for The Andy Griffith Show, Mayberry RFD and the 1986 reunion movie Return to Mayberry. Although the county seat of an agricultural county, black people were rarely seen in the original series, but occasionally seen on RFD.

It along with other shows were criticized for these omissions.

When I used to visit my gf and sister at FSU this was ALWAYS the first stop. There are none up in these parts and unfortunately they are long graduated by now....

Again, where did I say CFA does not hire black people and I am quoting you:

I see the person you are quoting claims Chik-Fil-A doesn't hire black people

I stated what I saw that the CFA locations (3 of them) I visit at that particular moment while I was there. I never said ALL CFAs were like that. Period.

Pwned!!! Stop lying and putting your own words into mine.

 

[waggy]

damnit. now i want a chicken sandwich =(

You used Mayberry for a reason, perhaps you were ignorant to what that meaning usually portrays.

Hardly pwned though....I think this is more *BLINK BLINK* stuff from that other thread you were in.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

They could fund Al Qaeda for all I care, as long as they keep making those waffle fries and the regular chicken sandwich with pickles. Spicy one is good too, though I find their grilled sandwiches and nuggets pretty bland.

Yes, PWNED hard. You said something that I never said. You "think" I said it. If I did say it, why don't you quote what I said then?


Well??....you couldn't...because it did not happen. Look like you are the one that spread BS.


Until you can quote what I said as you claimed, don't bother me.



Nice try, same ole Alky. :biggrin:

In the past couple of years MN has gotten ChikFilA and Popeye's.

I guess the south WILL rise again, just not how they might have been expecting...

 

[vi edit]

Popeye's is weird. About once a year I'll get a craving for their spicy chicken fingers and their salt and butter drenched biscuits. So I'll go there, spend $10 on it..and then realize why it's been a year since I last ate there.

But I eat Chick-Fil-A about once a month. That's mostly because my kids will eat there and you can lock them in the play rooms for a few more minutes of peace and quiet while you finish your meal.

Popeye's spicy chicken 10 pieces mixed for $10 (plus sale tax) was the hot deal, plus their dirty rice. Sadly, the 10 pieces for $10 is no more, only 9 pieces for $10. <sad panda>

 

[zinfamous]

Yes, the homophobia is indeed delicious there. One of the things I miss about being out west (there is one here, somewhere--but it's a 40min drive).

And I always crave it the most Sundays, and only after driving out to one do I remember that those assholes close on Sundays. assholes!

Of course the Christian founders and operators oppose gay marriage. They believe it's a sin. It doesn't mean they "hate" homosexuals.

They're religious and the religious organizations they support are in-line with Christian ideals. What else do you expect?

Yeah, I pretty much call that hate. It's very polite and southern and all, and I do appreciate that, but that's just how us southerners are nice to the people and things we hate. "Bless their heart, they are such sinners!"

As far as fast food chicken places go imo: Bojangles(best fast food place ever)>Chick-fil-a(pretty solid)>Popeyes(If I have to)>KFC(gross)

Chick-fil-a has by far the most pleasant staff in fast food, they've somehow cornered the market on high school/college girl employees and they're all super nice. Their places are usually insanely clean too as far as ff goes. I echo the sentiments that I always seem to want it on Sundays.
