Wafflehouse has the same no judgement flair you get from Walmart. You're never not good enough for Wafflehouse. It accepts everyone as long as they love hashbrowns.

I just ate there. I don't care for that kind of hash browns.

Chick Fil-A has a perfect fast food business model. They hire good help and have real food.

A pleasant new employee just now came to my table and offered to take my cup, refill it, and bring it back to me.

Great place.

Why would we not compare Chick-fil-a, a restaurant that sells chicken as it's only entree meat for lunch and dinner, (yes, they have other meats for breakfast), to other chicken fast food places? KFC, Church's, Pollo Loco, and Popeyes are also fast food joints. It's not like we're comparing them to some high falootin' place like Denny's.

For the same reason you don't compare Taco Bell exclusively to chicken places, even if their flagship product was a fried chicken taco. I thought I made that clear. Can I get a leg of grilled or fried chicken there? No. One of these things is not like the other.

They sell chicken sandwiches among other things. I can get chicken nuggets at McD's, Wendy's, Burger King, Chik-Fil-a, etc, but I can't get them at KFC, El Pollo Loco, Church's, or Popeyes, same as I can't get a chicken leg at CFA. It wouldn't even cross my mind to compare Burger King *exclusively* to chicken places just because they sell nuggets, chicken fries, chicken sandwiches, and a chicken Whopper (they once did) because my brain makes LOGICAL connections beyond "chicken = chicken." Anyone comparing them exclusively to box/bucket chicken places has a brain dysfunction.

KFC = strips
Church's = tender strips
Popeye's = tenders

In fact El Pollo Loco appears to be the only restaurant you listed that doesn't sell some form of chicken nuggets.

You have a unique and precious world view.

How do you reconcile that with CFA and Burger King both having both strips AND nuggets?!

Burger King has sodas. So does KFC, El Pollo Loco, Church's, and Popeyes. That makes Burker King a chicken place.

Logical disconnect. Strips made of chicken do not make them the same as KFC, El Pollo Loco, Church's, Bojangle's, and Popeyes. You are only further proving my point. Do they sell boxes or buckets of chicken pieces like legs, breasts, thighs, and wings? No? Then shut up. They don't belong together FFS. It's OBVIOUS that neither chicken nor nuggets nor strips define the category because it's obvious what really DOES define the categories if your brain functions properly.

People take better care of their automobiles than their own health. I can give more direct reasons other than political correctness why someone shouldn't eat fast food.

You aren't making your case very well. In fact your argument sucks. Chick-fil-a is a fried chicken joint just like KFC, Church's, and Popeyes are fried chicken joints. I see you also slipped Bojangles in there, also a fried chicken joint like Chick-fil-a.

Is my local CFA the only one with a "complimentary mouthwash" dispenser in the restroom? I never used it because I don't want to eliminate the awesome flavors lingering in my mouth.

Honestly, I can't bring myself to compare CFA with a bucket chicken place or any place where bone-in chicken (exception: buffalo wings) is even an option. Maybe compare CFA to Zaxby's or something.

No. They chose to fund politicians bent on murder.

Try again, bigot. They funded a WELL KNOWN Christian organization: Focus on the Family. In 2010, Focus on the Family's Family Research Council ONCE paid money to *US* Congressional lobbyists in support of changing the wording of their condemnation of the Ugandan Resolution in 2010 while specifically condemning their actions toward gays. They did not ever give money to suppress gays in Africa or give money to Ugandan politicians promising to do it. You and Zinfamous were LIED to and you chose to continue believing that further funding for Focus on the Family/FRC is "continuing to support gay oppression in Africa." It's total bullshit. To continue spouting this nonsense is intolerant and ignorant hate speech against a Christian organization. Brainwashed.

All they ever tried to do there was get some wording changed on a bill for having the House of Representative condemn the Ugandan Resolution.

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.

Bojangles IS Popeyes :|

Read what you just wrote. The Family Research Council knowingly supported African politicians who wanted to murder gay people simply for being gay. They provided bribe money lobbied Congress in to attempt to support these politicians. Chick-fil-a provided the money.

Read what you just wrote: US House of Representative are NOT "African politicians." All they ever tried to do was have some wording changed on a condemnation of the Ugandan Resolution, but they got listed as a hate group by a bigoted anti-Christian organization and you ate that shit up. Screw you and your irresponsible hate mongering. These were US lobbyist. FFS, it isn't perfect, but that's how the system is supposed to work, genius. Take one step back and LOOK at how stupidly easy it was to manipulate you and others to whip you into a frenzy. Screw you for being such an unapologetic media tool.

Bandwagon! Yay! CFA hates gays!

How would you like it if someone disagrees with you politically over something like abortion and ruined your business by having you listed as a hate group? Luckily, they weren't ruined, but clearly the damage continues with ignorant jerks like you running around.

You are wrong.
