Their food tastes like bigotry.

Bigot chicken is our name for it heh

thats not the chick filet i know. good food great service and they dont preach to me.
wadatahmydamie
They donate to hate groups.
LSquid64
I'm sorry to admit it, but I like their food. I like waffle cut fries abd their sauce. It's just so good.
CatrionaShadowleaf
I honestly think if more restaurants served waffle fries, CFA would get less business lol
SalmySwims
Chick-fil-A isn't even good. You can't change my mind.

Everyone is obliged to act morally, not to ensure everyone else is acting morally. I boycott places but don't judge others for not doing so.

All I ever heard was praise for Chick-fil-A. Finally tried it....that shit is nothing special. Wendy's has better nuggets.

I've never eaten there. Never will.
sydneygirl
I never once at at Chick Fil A and I stopped shopping at Hobby Lobby years ago. Awful businesses, awful people running it
TheSlackerKing
my best friend is gay, loves Chick-fil-A. he says "jokes on them they're saving this homo from starvation"
alex5775
I suppose that's his own prerogative, but like.... Other places sell food

So which one is your preferred option? The one who is exterminating indigenous amazonian tribes? The one involved in modern slavery? etc

Cousin's got rejected from a Leeds golf course because they were Jewish. Grandpa was the doc to the Lord that owned the land. Golf course

That is true, but it's not a reason not to do your best.

Precisely this. There's no way to avoid it completely, but that's no reason to not avoid it at all

You can brine your chicken in pickle juice and get the same delicious, less hateful taste

I call it “hate chicken”

Me & my ex used to call it the Hateful Chicken as in “I’m going to the hateful Chicken, want anything?” Felt bad but their stuff is delish!

Homophobic chicken
whatpassesforclever
At first, I thought it ironic, as half their employees are gay teens. Then I remembered how much the GOP represses, projects, and grooms.
ICollectReactionGifs
i saw something about them stopping support to some problematic "charities", but i'd need to go back and see if they actually followed thru
CraftyGiant
I don't even care if they stop, they never get a dime because i know the people in charge feel that way.
Tassyr
IIRC they dropped one or two, but kept most of the others that are slightly more plausibly deniable.
ICollectReactionGifs
i still haven't given them any money since either way lmao

They stopped the donations in 2012, but in 2019 changed focus away from the Salvation Army & FCA, to other charities.

The best part is their food isn't even good but people lose their fucking minds over it for some reason
debthepleb
I tried this thing where I buy everything from the farmers market and the local butcher. Prices made me cry. I don't know how long I'll last
PunchyFromCleveland
Our grocery sells a lot of local products and marks them as such. Maybe yours does as well? My state is big on local agriculture though.
debthepleb
In my country the grocer does that too, but at the grocery store I just end up buying a lot of stuff that isn't local to make up the lack.
UnqualifiedOpinionDispenser
Don't fool yourselves. Most if not all of the companies that change to their rainbow logo in June are just after your money.

We know how advertising works, thanks. Meanwhile, I prefer a world where it’s bad for business to *not* publicly support LGBTQ+.

billyrayvirus
Every company wants your money. That's the point of a company.
uzetaab
That is the whole point of a company, to make money. It is not inherently bad to make money, we all do it. It is not a bad thing for a -
uzetaab
company to openly support LGBTQ rights. I would be more suspicious of a direct competitor who does not openly support.
Kenshin0019
Why do people act like other companies care about the LGBTQ community other then their money.
geruhn
Other companies might not care about LGBTQIAA but this one actively works against them. So yes there's a difference

TheChunguskaEvent
Among other things, I've never forgiven Chick-fil-A for a double drive-thru that fucked up access to the Thai restaurant I like.
cleverlydisguised
The one near me clogs up the driveway and parking lot to my gym. And people leave trash all over the parking lot. I hate that place.
CatrionaShadowleaf
I don't understand what it is with CFA and choosing the worst possible traffic patterns for their restaurants.
TheChunguskaEvent
In my case, they installed SO MUCH CURB. They took a ton of a shared lot, and reduced the # of entrances and spaces. Sucks for other tenants
ElbowDeepInAJedi
... Albuquerque off San Pedro Ave?
GoldenBrownApples
Is this a common problem with them? The one that just opened in our town is getting sued for blocking traffic on a busy road.
TheArrestingAbhorrentArrantAbominableAlliterator
I think you underestimate how much idgits love Chik-Fil-A. The one near my house has a line wrapped around it twice almost all day
GoldenBrownApples
First week open the police had to come out and redirect traffic for them. It was insane how badly they fucked up traffic.
Neednoggle
Fucking up access to a good Thai restaurant is a sin so egregious even their gay hating god won't forgive them.
Justadude101010103000
Thing is, it's not god that hates gays. It's just that bigots will be bigots.

No, I get that, I didn't mean to imply that god actually exists.

As tasty as in-n-out, at least imo. (don't like either one btw but every swears they're good so...)

I don’t doubt that, but there are other good foods out there instead

Very true. It’s conflicting. I support the queer community, but I love the food & service
alex5775
I've had it because my work already paid for it, if you like flavor you should doubt that

Also why all their sauces so bad
metroid2
No one is forcing anyone to eat there. Infact boycott them.
Youhavinagiraffe
Boycotting silently without trying to encourage others to join you is basically pointless
metroid2
Do you honestly think "Corporation is bad don't buy from them" posts on imgur are effective?
Youhavinagiraffe
Not really, but I think they're more effective than doing nothing at all. Investigative journalism and detailed exposes followed by...
Youhavinagiraffe
...organised protests and putting pressure on partnering companies seem to be the most effective... and even that's more miss than hit
tobesmcgobes
For those of us that clearly live under a rock, what did Chick-fil-A do?
hwatL4bloopy
They used to donate to anti LGBT groups but stopped years ago. There was no press follow up so the anti LGBT status stuck
shivalvv
A couple of degrees of separation but their money trickled down to the guy that pushed the death penalty for gays in Uganda.
masterbot
Holy shit , pardon my language , but that is some messed up shit
shivalvv
Same guy was involved in Russia banning public support of gays.
Sherpafish
Actively contributed to anti-lgbtq+ 'charities'... promoting- amongst other things- conversion 'therapy'. Owner family is faux 'Christian'.

I'm Australian, so me boycotting isn't as impactful, but count me in anyway

Who can forget the super important sermon from Jesus. Love thy neighbor, something something … all businesses MUST close on Sundays.

Not the one near me. It has the worst staff of any restaurant in the city. It's yelp reviews are fucking amazing.

Nobody kills for chick-fil-a. Hundred's have died for Popeyes chicken. There have been riots. This is serious chicken.

Well, I don't think the one at Brown's was over the chicken itself. But that made big headlines at the time.

It's horrific. I'm kind of glad I didn't hear about it. All dead over less then $2K. FFS. Can't imagine what it was like in there.

apart from being outspoken in support of the gay community, she turned her house into a sort of safe haven for many like Rock Hudson.

Someone needs to make an ethical index for companies that takes into account their upstream impact. Chick Fil A is a drop in the bucket

Materials. It’s easy to say “fuck chick-fil-a” for what they stand for while also buying shit from companies that use child labor, exploit

Workers and farmers, and then screw employees plus the environment. It’s easy to skip the chicken, but you also gotta be willing to spend
