/ck/ - Food & Cooking

because it's a cult.

>>6487704
Whatever it is, it has good food and great service

>>6487720
Varies from place to place, like any business.

It's nothing special.

>>6487700
I assume they pay their workers slightly more and when they are receiving their training its explained that its part of their job to be friendly and polite and if they don't feel like acting that way they'll be fired

>>6487738
"Be happy or you're fired" doesn't really work as a management strategy.

>>6487745
You have to at least act happy or you will be replaced with somebody who will.

>>6487745

So they don't provide service for gay people?

Because it's a religious establishment, so they actually have standards.

>>6487732
Nah, Chik Fil A has exceptional service nationwide.

>>6487745
If you're gonna get hired someplace and have a piss-poor attitude then there's plenty of other people who would gladly take the position.

>great customer service

>hi, I want X, Y and Z
>"that'll be an amount of dollars"
>here
>"here's your food, have a great day"

Where the fuck are you people eating that you feel like this is special treatment?

>>6487877
>greeted when you enter
>employees are actually smiling and making small talk
>receive food quickly
>they bring it to your table if you seem busy or have children
>they take your trash if you're done

>>6487882
Yeah. They greet you at the fucking Drive Thru.

"Hello, it's a Great Day at Chick-Fil-A, how may I take your order?"

>>6487882

I"m a straight, white, normal looking, male. I do not care for their "good service" It' just another form of marketing. I'd rather have them get my order right and cut the bullshit of "hi, hello and welcome to chick fil-a, eat mhore chiken." There's no humanism when it comes to the "extra" service they provide. However to their credit, chik fil-a has always got my order right (compared to Wendy's which seems to somehow always fuck it up.

What grinds my gears at chik fil a is they tend to me selective. Ask those people over there if they want refills, how their meal was, and if they can take their garbage but don't even walk up to me once.

I've said it before but at the end of the day this place is mascaraeding around as something it's not. It's a fast food join with a mediocre chicken sandwich that is worth eating at every so often.

faith in God

i'm sittin there eating and some old bitch cleaning tables is like "everuthing alright do you need anything??". "im alright thanks"

leave me the fuck alone i'm eating fast food chicken sandwich

also holy shit there's so many trashy black folks patroning this place

Also

thanks

"my pleasure~"

umm like are you being sarcastic
you basically are cause i know you HAVE to say that
it pleasures you to serve me? as if you go home and get off to it? no
nevermind seperation of church and state, seperate church and chicken..

also wtf i want a good chicken sandwich on my day off. thi sis bullshit

>>6487700
one time i ordered a spicy chicken deluxe
the box seemed kinda cold?
i got two top buns and no chicken in it.

>>6488040
Preach it dood.

Chick fil a employee here.

I'll admit I'm incredibly aware of how frankly weird we are with how nice we are, all the way down to "my pleasure".

It sucks because I say it so much at work that whenever someone says Thank you outside of work I end up saying it. Gives away where I work right away.

I try to do my best to leave guests alone in the dining room when they're eating or talking, and try to only come over when I see you're just about done eating, but the thing is when we've run out of tables to clean, trashes to rotate, condiments to stock, we really have nothing else to do.

>>6487700
Heteros know the value of efficiency. Homos love waste. Have you seen Priscilla: Queen of the Desert? That's how homos celebrate. With profound levels of excess waste.

Chick-Fil-A is a thoroughly heterosexual organization that shows the continued value of straightlaced heteros in this strange new world of tolerance for everything.

>Wendy's has better chicken sandwiches
>Carl's Jr. has better tendies
>McDonalds has better nuggets

"Muh service" is literally all chik-fil-a has, and frankly the overly hyped up 16 year-olds working there are more annoying than endearing.

>>6488256
wendy's chicken sandwiches are pretty awesome

>>6487745
Eh if I ran a place with employees facings the customers that would be my policy. Id politely explain take a sick day if you're truly feeling down but if you're on the premises you better look happy and friendly.

>>6487918
>Wanting bad service
>Hates people being nice to you

Full autistic retard

>>6488256
I go to Chick-Fil-A because all of those statements are false.

>>6487745
You've never worked for or invested in Disney.

>>6487745
>"Be happy or you're fired" doesn't really work as a management strategy.

...but I'm wearing the minimum amount of flair...

>>6487865
>Chik Fil A has exceptional service nationwide.

Either

1. You work for Chik-Fil-A and have visited every single one, but your opinion is biased.
2. You have not visited every single one so have no idea if your statement is true.

>>6488424
Maybe he is an influential chicken reviewer for the Poultry Standard.

>>6488424
The only one I have been to that's been mediocre was one in Louisiana because it was run by black people.

>>6487700
it is too expensive for me, but everyone I have eaten at always has good looking white broads or occasionally hispanic bitches. Can't recall ever seeing a monkey coon sheboon working in one.

>>6487700
they don't hire degenerates

I go to Chick-Fil-A so the pretty young girl will talk to me.

>>6488040

"My pleasure"... oh shit they said that to me too..

The best.

>All these people defending shitty food.

Wendy's and Jack In The Box do better chicken sandwiches.

For everything else In-N-Out and Five Guys shit on them.

>But muh friendly employees
>Heterosexual Christian Values

Obvious bait.

Chik-fil-a is mid tier fast food.

>tfw bored as fuck and question why I even bought it as my first gun
I really should of went and bought a mosin for my first gun

the real question is why is Chick Fil A so expensive? I could go to a sitdown restaurant and get the same cost of shit for double the portion+quality

wait its the fast part im a fucking idiot

>>6488097
Don't fear. They'll install table side tablets that customers can mash their fat, greasy fingers on when they want more lemonade, thus cutting the need for servers by a third.

>>6487745
I work in a hospital that stresses how we must smile more frequently, and to greet each other pleasantly. This is to overcome decades of shitty attitudes, especially when payment for medical services is contingent on how happy the customer is being here.

If you don't comply with this, disciplinary process begins including loss of employment.

>>6489176
>wait its the fast part

You may be on to something there, I always thought Whataburger was reasonably priced because of the paper thin patty, but it's probably because I have to wait 30 minutes for a burger.

>>6488271
I never heard of CFA until that guy yelled at some girl at a driveby window, now I go there maybe twice a month.

>>6488424
Or, there are at least two CFAs on either side of the nation that have good service, or some in-between to your extreme statement.

>>6487700
Because the company was founded on "good ol christian values".
Same as pic related.

>>6487700
They're good Christians. They care about you.

>>6487865

They're not religious. Some of the management is, but the stores are just run normally.

>>6487732
To a small extent you're right.

>>6487865
Not 100%; most stores are run really well. I ate at the one in UIUC's student union and it sucked. This was around the time that the student body had heard about "zomfg someone at the company doesn't suck cock!!!" and did some protests at the place, so that might have affected the very few remaining workers' attitudes, though. I think there were only two people working the place when I went there; I am sort of guessing that all the students who had jobs there quit from peer pressure or something.

>>6489278
So much this. Is it nature or nurture that creates such mindless mouths?

>>6489278
Mcdonalds chicken nuggets don't use pink slime and never have, it's 100% chicken breast.

>>6489389
Don't even bother trying to teach them reality. They need their conspiracy theories just like the nuttier side as /pol/ does. It's the only way they can rationalize paying exorbitant prices for bullshit at Whole Foods.

>>6489278
>>6489337
>muh pink slime
McDonalds doesn't use that shit. Regardless Chick fila is 100x better than any chicken product at McDonalds.
Only thing that comes close is Wendys chicken sandwich.

>>6489337
Both.

>>6489283
be nice. though bi-ok gay, they have good chicken sandwiches, and locally nice people you know, it does work both ways. and what is wrong with gay christians? also, the "left over" theymake a great chicken salad sandwich. they help anyone, locally.True.they don't like flamers or guys in leather or chins. nor would if I. toom any people have axes to grind. live in western NC traveled to eastNC and SC,Never a problem

I like their spicy chicken better

>>6487877
Most fast food here is handled bu Ghetto Youth(Baltimore)

Just the other day at McD I ordered a meal with a sweet tea, you can either get a medium soda or large sweet tea with your meal.

I picked the tea, and he gave me a medium, I explained I was supposed to get a large drink and he didn't wanna give it to me.

I asked for a refund and he rasied his voice saying "For fucks sake" and gave me my large drink.

Chick fil A won't hire anyone who acts like this

The fear of God

>>6487858
>So they don't provide service for gay people?
Yes, they do. They employ gay people too. The owner just doesn't approve of gay marriage. You can be gay in a Chick-fil-a, have gay sex in the bathrooms and have your gay marriage wedding reception in a Chick-fil-a, but you can't get the owner of the company to pinch your husband's butt. This is literally what people are so BTFO about. Thought crime. Yet the SJWs are so good at getting their message of "boycott" out there, that people don't even know what the fuck the boycott is about. I asked a cousin of mine and he thought it was because they aren't open on Sundays. Nope. It's about thought crime. In this country, you're not free to have politically incorrect thoughts anymore.

Remember that the CEO of Firefox was fired because he donated to a Christian charity once in his life, and of course Christians don't support gay marriage.

We need to support Chick-fil-a and other companies with values because the SJWs are spreading lies about them to try to ruin this country. SJWs won't be happy until every private business is out of business and the only food distribution is via government bread lines. Don't let this terrifying reality come to happen.

>>6488256
>>Wendy's has better chicken sandwiches
>>Carl's Jr. has better tendies
>>McDonalds has better nuggets

None of those statements are true. Some of that shit is made from chicken paste too, so I don't know what you're smoking.

>>6487754
Fucking Friend Computer... I haven't Troubleshot in years and I just nostalgiaed hard...

Supporting the First and the Second Amendments.

Got interviewed for a job there, and the manager explained that customer service positions (cashier, etc) paid more and were more desirable because they are generally less work than cooking. It's a privilege to work at the counter; they have interaction down to a formula, and drill it into every new employee (make eye contact 3 seconds before the customer comes forward, smile, ask them how their day is in a specific way, etc). He also said that they can get cut after a single customer complaint (or even a less than great review on a customer survey), and will be replaced with any of the other billion young qt girls who are lined up for cashier position.
Their thing is that they're a "step above fast food" and want to create such an atmosphere; that's why the service people are expected to adopt an attitude more like that of a polite waitress at a nice restaurant, as opposed to a subhuman McDonald's worker who grunts and shoves your bag at you.

>>6489734
I don't support Chick-fil-A because they gave me one of those Chick books for Halloween trick or treating when I was six that convinced me that I was going to hell/gave babby me nightmares.

I don't know if they're still pushing that Christian propaganda shit beyond the religious music but I do know that if I park my car nearby one when I go to the mall that there's a good chance I'll find one of those books on my windshield when I return.

>>6490233
You poor thing. Did the mean Christians bully you?

>>6490233
When you tell a six year old that they're going to burn for not supporting your religion it can be traumatizing. I don't know how many other children have experienced that and I can't support a company that condones spreading that nonsense to young minds. I'm not against Christianity but there are other ways to brainwash children than telling them that they're going to be tortured for not believing what you want them to believe. That's all.

>>6490233
>they gave me one of those Chick books
You poor bastard.

And McD's can claim they don't in chicken, but they're pureeing the "breast meat" before forming it into little sausage patties, so it's not like you can tell for sure.

>>6490274

>>6490279

>>6490233
>>6490262
I'm surprised an establishment gave you that, their official children's toys aren't of a religious nature at all, and all Chick Fil A establishments are required to distribute the official toys/books. Chick Tracts is a private company, one single Chick Fil A wouldn't give them out.

>>6490300
There's literally nothing wrong with pureed meat other than "but it looks icky :("

>>6489469
We've missed you breh
>>6490233
>they gave me one of those Chick books
Bullshit, unless a worker brought it from home and personally slipped it into your bag. >>6490389 is right, they all give out the same kid's meal things, which are those educational/creative books that you can trade for an ice cream if you're a fatass.

>>6490085
I don't get how buying a chicken sandwich supports the 1st Amendment. Somebody explain.

>>6490425
Chick Fil A employees literally have the right to execute anyone they suspect of being gay or pro-gay marriage on the premises, don't you know?
And they have every right to, the Anon was brave enough to pay for another box of ammo for a nameless qt cashier, keeping the streets clean of AIDS-ridden filth.

>>6490425
It doesn't. However, there are anti-American groups in the US who want to boycott the company because the company has Christian ownership who doesn't support gay marriage. I have no idea how people think this affects their ability to make a chicken sandwich, but by supporting Chick-Fil-A, you are telling the anti-American cultural marxists in this country that it's OK to have your own beliefs, and that you support our First Amendment right to individual religious freedom. What the anti-American cultural marxists want is for everyone to be an atheist homosexual, and if you diverge from their narrative of degeneracy and depravity then they label you "politically incorrect" and you become a target for their hatred, which albeit can't accomplish much on its own, but they have agents in the mass media, and if their targets fail to bend to their will, then political pressure is applied, and sometimes the target's life is ruined, as happened with the former CEO of Firefox.

This is what the cultural marxists actually believe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg-jzlWcc0E

>>6489734

go fuck yourself, /pol/

>>6490607
lol

>>6487745
...and yet, Chick-Fil-A still exists as it is.

So you clearly haven't tried that strategy for yourself. Because clearly they've got something right happening.

>>6489197
I would seek employment elsewhere and begin my search at once.

>>6489137
No, he's a faggot. He's just dating a beard so he won't lose Daddy's inheritance money.

People still care about the chick-fil-a incident?

>>6491101
Only the faggots who were professionally angry to begin with.

And I have it on good authority that Chick-Fil-A sincerely hopes they get boycotted to a similar extent again. The counter-protest in response to the boycott threat produced CFA's biggest sales day in its history.

>>6491106
I would barely even call it counter protest, since most people just went "everyone's yelling about chick-fil-a, damn that sounds good right now"

>>6490607
The ironic thing is you think you're being ironic and you aren't.

No you cunt face. I just don't like fake ass phoney shit by some teenage shit who is worried that if he doesn't properly greet me according to corporate culture that he is going to get written up and shit canned. I'd rather just have a guy at a quality locally/family owned place ask me "so, what'll it be" or "what can I get ya." I don't want bad service but I don't need service with a fake smile to get me through my fucking day. For the service that is good and genuine, I am grateful for it. It's a fucking chicken sandwhich, there's no need to form a cult over it.

Straight talk is so undervalued and under appreciated cause of shitheads like you who don't realize that there are still alternatives to fast food row.

Next you'll be telling me I can't get fucking breakfast because its ten till 11 and breakfast stops at 10:45.

>>6490389
>There's literally nothing wrong with pureed meat other than "but it looks icky :("
Well, that and bacteria grow in it a lot faster than solid chunks, and then have to be killed by thorough cooking or antibacterial additives (which is why "pink slime" has ammonium hydroxide mixed into it and then neutralized).

But go ahead and eat the filthy muck if it makes you happy.

>>6492004
I agree, if you came into my shop as a customer I'd treat you like the slimy piece of crap that you are.

>>6492121
>>6490425
One of the C-level executives at Chick-Fil-A donated money to Christian organizations that promote traditional marriage. Homosexual activists got all butthurt about it and started a boycott campaign. By purchasing Chick-Fil-A food, the Anon is saying that he is supporting, however indirectly, the executive's right to speak his mind without retaliation from a bunch of assholes, by sending a signal to the activists that their behavior is unacceptable in a civilized society.

It is not a perfect example of opposing governmental restrictions on free speech, which is what the First Amendment is all about, but it's one of those "penumbras and emanations", y'know?

tl;dr: fuck off SJWs.

>>6492864
>fake phony shit
You reminded my why I hate Catcher in the Ryw.

>>6494386
Just as it was that executive's right to give money to homophobes, it is also the homos' right to not buy Chik-fil-a.

Nobody's rights were violated by the government at all.

>>6494376
Gee, I guess it's a good thing we usually cook meat before we eat it.
Keep on eating slabs of raw beef you fucking caveman.

>>6494475
But when people I agree with do something, they are exercising their freedom. When people I disagree with do something, it's TYRANNY.

> be in college when they gay comment was made in twitter
> gay friends who love chickfila still go but renamed it "homophobic sandwich" for a month
> "Holy shit I'm hungry, I'mma go get me one of those Homophobic Sandwiches."
And I live in Georgia. Truly no one gave a shit. Also I think the founder of the company, the guy who made that tweet, died in the past year anyway so there are no more ties to anti-gay organizations although they are still closed on Sunday because it's a tradition.

>>6494386
>fuck off SJWs.
Beyond the homophobe thing there's the fact that the company does try to maintain a Christian culture, all the way down to not being open on Sundays. So I can't even buy a homophobic chicken sandwich whenever I want one because not only does god hate fags, but he doesn't want me eating Chick-fil-A on Sunday.

I'm all for people believing whatever they want, but if it inconveniences me I will hold it against them. And I'll take that into account when it comes time to make my decisions about where I'll spend my money.

Their equally Christian brethren at In-N-Out manage to proselytize, but they do so in small print on the bottom of the drink cups and wrappers, putting nobody out in the process. Seems like a much smarter way to mix your religion with your fast food business, if you feel you absolutely have to do so.

>>6492864
Most people grew out of that phase your in at age 16

>people wanting them to have WORSE service

Just admit you're still asspained about the fag shit

>>6494554
Not the Anon you're replying to, but the concept of voting with your dollars is valid. If you don't like the way a company does business (even on a philosophical level) you can take your money elsewhere. There are plenty of products I won't buy because I think the companies that make them are shitty corporate citizens, and I'd rather not give a shitty corporate citizen a penny of my money if I can help it.

If anything my feelings about this have intensified as I've gotten older and become more aware of the options available to me. After all, it's my money, and I don't have to settle for the default options if the fail to please me.

Chikfila is different from other places because of the way they hire people. Hiring the right people can make a huge difference in a company

>>6494554
>Most people grew out of that phase your in at age 16

You're one to talk sonny boy. You make it a juvenile crime because I want no frills and no bullshit quality, straightforward service. America has come a long way in the service industry. Not always in the right direction. You think the man behind the counter in Hopper's Nighthawks tried to get you to upgrade from the club sandwich to the club sandwich deluxe?

>>6494707
I've been to McDonald's before where I've wasted 45 minutes for a McDouble and they would never clean up unless they were ordered too. Why do you hate quality service, anon?

>>6494826
Catcher in the Rye is about a rich white kid skipping school to walk home to see his sister. The whole book is him bitching for 3 days about how "phony" people are. During this time he uses his parents money to rent a hotel room, hire a whore only to not have sex with her and then he gets mad when he still has to pay.

>>6494844
oh god i hate him so much. i used to sort out girls based on wether they liked this novel or not. in retrospective this is the same level of arrogance i hated in holden caulfield. shit nevel though

>>6494844

So uh what's that gotta do with John Lenon...

Seriously though, not to defend myself but that doesn't sound anything like me. The only time I skipped school was once in third grade. My dad picked me up and we went to an opening day baseball game. This isn't /lit/ but I'd much rather prefer hard boiled crime detective stories. Stories where they get a good cup of coffee and a decent meal without much fuss. It seems there are some here who can not differentiate between great customer service and what today passed for customer service when it's actually the art of the corporate mouthpiece looking for the super combo upgrade.

>>6494877
The issue I had was the tone and word usage was almost identical to Holden Caulfield which makes me belive that you are an edgy shit head (if you are the same anon).

Maybe it's cuz I'm from the South and I accept it as normal when a stranger smiles at me and says "good morning," and because Chick-fil-A was founded not far from where I grew up I am not surprised when the employees have the same kind of hospitality.

I find the complaint of "they're phony because they act nice" as condescending. I pity you for whatever town you live in where you dislike a positive environment in a fast food joint.

>>6494844
>>6494873
Part of what makes the character of the alienated, disaffected young man looking at the expectations of the society around him and finding it all to be bullshit is something most of us can relate to. This guy would have been a hippie in the late 60's, a punk in the 80's or an emo kid in the late 90's or a /b/tard in the 2000's. But at the start of the 1950's there was nothing for him to do but sit and whine about growing pubes, wishing he could return to the safety of childhood.

And as hateful a character as he is, every one of us can relate to this:

""We always had the same meal on Saturday nights at Pencey. It was supposed to be a big deal, because they gave you steak. I'll bet a thousand bucks the reason they did that was because a lot of guys' parents came up to school on Sunday, and old Thurmer probably figured everybody's mother would ask their darling boy what they had for dinner last night, and he'd say, 'steak.' What a racket. You should've seen the steaks. They were these little hard, dry jobs that you could hardly even cut."

You can't be American and not have choked down a shitty steak that was supposed to be special just because it was a fucking steak, and is supposed to be a big deal. Part of what makes the character so hateful is that you can't be an American and not relate to him at least a little.

>>6494914
> hippie
> punk
> emo
>/b/tard
Yup, I still don't like him as a protagonist. He drones on and on like this for the whole book. "Everyone is a phony." It's like that guy on Family Guy. Is he right? Yes. Is he annoying? Yes

To compensate for mediocre food and discrimination

>>6494904

>The issue I had was the tone and word usage was almost identical

Swell, so I'm a natural writer as good as the crackpot who wrote Catcher in the Ryebread.

I will meet you part way. I was from a big city and moved several years ago for a job to a decent sized but much smaller city in another state in the heartland. I was caught off guard on the kindness of people. They would as you mention say "good morning" but they would often go further - damn near giving the shirt off their back and without asking for anything in return. I've adapted and adopted to that way of life. I quite enjoy it but I can also differentiate between what's genuine and what's in the employee handbook. There's no crime in being courteous at a fast food restaurant, it's their corporate culture but it's also part of their marketing schtick and in your case and many others, it works like a charm. It's a similar concept that Cracker Barrel and their down home theme has. That being said, it won't stop me from occasionally eating at either restaurant, it just allows me to be conscious of the subconscious.

At the end of the day, these are big businesses. Millions of dollars are at stake. The smile and hello is the first line of defense in keeping these operations purring. Other businesses use this as a tool in their toolbox. Chik fila executes it so well- to the point where they standout above the rest.

Anyone else digging the new captcha? It wants me to pick out food pictures

>>6494941
I appreciate you clarifying your view on the matter. Now I understand that they're doing the "southern hospitality" thing for image and business purposes, same reasoning goes behind them still being closed on Sundays even though Truett is dead now. That doesn't change the fact that I have a positive experience every time I go there. A fake smile and clean tables are better than sticky floors any day of the week.

>>6494931
That's kinda the point: America breeds characters so unAmerican they can be cynical about being served a steak every Saturday night. But realize this character lived before the beatniks had made lifting the veil on that particular reality fashionable.

And yes, the Family Guy character is a direct reference.

>>6494950
>That doesn't change the fact that I have a positive experience every time I go there. A fake smile and clean tables are better than sticky floors any day of the week.

Agreed. For me Chik fila is the complete opposite of an experience at Wendy's. At either place, the fries have enough salt to increase my blood pressure. There's no reason to make that go up any higher from the stress of grabbing a quick bite to eat when the sandwich order is wrong, the fries are cold, and the syrup is out/off in the coke machine. Chik fila does a good job at preventing these all with the hint of southern charm. Wendy's not so much.

>>6487745
It's common

>>6494533
>Beyond the homophobe thing there's the fact that the company does try to maintain a Christian culture, all the way down to not being open on Sundays.
So what? It's their First Amendment right to believe in any god that they want to believe in, and follow any religion they like, without persecution.

>>6494494
>But when people I agree with do something, they are exercising their freedom. When people I disagree with do something, it's TYRANNY.
You are free to not buy chicken sandwiches there. However, when you participate in a mass boycott - and lets' face it, participating in a boycott is not the same thing as 'not buying sandwiches from them' - and the SOLE reason behind the boycott is the other person's religious beliefs, then you are sending a clear message that you do not believe in people's First Amendment rights. Don't try to weasel your way out of it; this is the reality of the situation. Homosexual couples have no right to the same tax breaks as are given to married couples, but you don't hear conservatives labeling gays as "thought criminals" in the same way that liberals do about those who hold religious beliefs that don't mesh with their narrative. The fact is that if SJWs had their way, then we would live in an Orwellian state that would fail within one generation because there would be no new children.

>>6494678
Why do you think that the private beliefs of the people who run the company have any bearing on their ability to make a chicken sandwich?

>>6494873

Nobody thinks that. That's not the point.

>>6494969
You're wrong. The anon I quoted believes that. If not, then why not buy your chicken sandwiches from the company that makes them the best? Why have a concept of "voting with your dollars" at all?

>>6494966

Lol do you actually think that's where the phrase originated?

>>6494974
I bet that it's where 99% of the people on 4chan first heard it.

>>6494974
Yeah, what would you know about it ?
>fuck all

>>6494974
Of course not. But it shouldn't be used specifically because of that.

Kind of like I no longer tell people to "watch their language", because I would rather not be associated with people obsessed with The Avengers.

>>6494966

>being this upset regarding the use of someone's verbiage and yet disregarding the entire crux of the argument.

Autist. There can only be one.

>>6494984

Not sure you know what this word means.

>>6489337

It's not that fucking hard to tell if what you're eating is trash. Are the meat fibers still intact? Is it a solid piece of piece of meat you're sinking your teeth into?

>>6494960
>It's their First Amendment right...
Absolutely. And it's my to choose whether or not I want to patronize a business that makes the decision to endorse a specific faith. I prefer agnostic businesses, because I'd rather not have some of the money they make off of me going to support religious causes I disagree with. There's no reason the chicken sandwich I buy has to support a specific stripe of Christian values. Given the choice of a chicken sandwich with or without a side of "values" I'll take the one without every time.

>>6494533
They seem to be doing well enough without your business :^)

>>6494995

There you go again.

>>6494960
Do you really think the boycott was because they were Christian or are you being an obtuse 4chan faggot that wants to pretend that the boycott was not because of his homophobic remarks

>>6494972
No I don't. The private beliefs of who runs a company are their own business. Choosing to make them public is another matter. Your stores are closed on Sunday because of your beliefs? If that ends up inconveniencing me a couple times my attitude toward you will sour into "Fuck you and your beliefs." Because now your beliefs have become a pain in my ass, and I'll take my business elsewhere.

>>6495022
So you're just going to do this for a while? Okay.

>>6495027
>remarks
Supporting a charity isn't "remarks," anon.

>>6495028
That's your prerogative. They probably don't want your business, anyway, being this hostile toward their worldview.

>>6495033

As long as it takes, "friendo."

>>6495008
You're free to choose only businesses that are run by people whom you agree with, but I'm going to call you un-American because you seem to think that people in this country should be punished for what they believe in, even if it's only economic punishment - that's what it is, nonetheless. The irony here is that in some countries, atheists are the ones who get punished for what they believe in. The fact that you are able to enjoy such freedom to express your beliefs in America is due to the First Amendment, and if you don't support that wholeheartedly, then you don't support it at all. Freedom of Religion doesn't let you pick and choose which "approved" religions get to avoid persecution. That would be exactly the same as the medieval style culture of where the first Americans fled from, or modern Muslim countries. If you support that, then you are un-American.

>>6495027
>it wasn't because they didn't believe in Freedom of Relgion, it was because they didn't believe in Freedom of Speech
How do you think that makes it any better? What country do you think you live in?

>>6495028
>The private beliefs of who runs a company are their own business. Choosing to make them public is another matter.
No, it's not "another matter." They enjoy the same Freedom of Speech that allows you to voice your opinions about how much homosexual intercourse is Gods gift to humanity, to voice the exact opposite opinion. In the words of someone who posted earlier in the thread,
>>6494494

You have no right to be served food. Perhaps instead of getting your food a restaurant, you would prefer to get your food from a Soviet bread line, or our modern equivalent, EBT card?

If you're having to eat fast food on a day when you don't even have to go to work, maybe you should be worried about more pressing issues in your own life than worrying about the life of someone whom you don't even know who said some things you don't agree with.

>>6495061
>You have no right to be served food. Perhaps instead of getting your food a restaurant, you would prefer to get your food from a Soviet bread line, or our modern equivalent, EBT card?
This all the way.

In MA, respectable liquor stores close at 6 on Sundays. They used to not even open on Sundays.

One time I was invited to a friend's place last minute and went out to pick up some wine at 6:30. Had to go to 3 liquor stores before I found one that was open. It was a little dump run by a paki.

In the future, I will continue to patronize the ones that were closed. Partially because I think it's a respectable thing not to encourage drunkenness on Sunday.

I like to think so. Same reason I avoid food products imported from Israel. I'm hostile to their world view. Yet I'll go out of my way to buy stuff imported from Lebanon (tahini, wine, olive oil) because I'm rooting for the poor bastards.
>>6495041
>I'm going to call you un-American because you seem to think that people in this country should be punished for what they believe in, even if it's only economic punishment
I'll accept that. Not a big fan of "American values" to begin with. One very un-American value I hold is that businesses should not be granted the same rights as people. People have freedom of religion, but I don't see how that applies to businesses. I would never discriminate against people based on religion. I will discriminate against businesses based upon it if I dislike their values/politics, or find them the slightest bit annoying. Because where I spend my money is very much my own business.

I remember when I went to college orientation as an undergrad, they had everybody fill out a 4 page survey to check their compatibility with other entering students in order to find everyone a suitable roommate. Typical questions were things like "do you smoke," "do you stay up late," "do you wake up early," and "do you value studying over partying?" However, there were a couple questions which kept popping up, just asked in different ways. The most common question, which was re-asked about a dozen times, went something like this,

>Are you OK with the fact that somebody may exist who disagrees with you and whose mind you may never be able to change so that they agree with you?

I honestly never imagined that there were people in the world who would answer "no" to this question. How wrong I was.... why can't people just 'live and let live'?

In a nation of immigrants what could be more American than living side by side with them and eating all the delicious foods they bring with them? As for overpriced, some of us were smart enough to buy our places years ago, and pay next to nothing to live here.

>>6495187

>In a nation of immigrants
This is a little lie that's been fed to you by the liberal media. 60+ years ago, "multiculturalism" was living next to people who'd come from France, Germany, England, Austria, and Italy. Before immigration was reformed, we used to actually have standards for who we let live here, mainly we were looking for upstanding citizens who would be able to adjust to white American society.

>b-but muh ethnic food
It's so sad that this is the biggest benefit you can think of, when there are so, so many negatives.

>Diversity and social trust
>Harvard professor of political science Robert D. Putnam conducted a nearly decade long study how diversity affects social trust. He surveyed 26,200 people in 40 American communities, finding that when the data were adjusted for class, income and other factors, the more racially diverse a community is, the greater the loss of trust. People in diverse communities "don't trust the local mayor, they don't trust the local paper, they don't trust other people and they don't trust institutions," writes Putnam.[97] In the presence of such ethnic diversity, Putnam maintains that:
>"[W]e hunker down. We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it's not just that we don't trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities, we don't trust people who do look like us."

They pay $9/hr base

Seriously though. I went to a Chick-Fil-A and they had a motherfucking HARP PLAYER. One of the employees also basically acted like a waiter and brought food to where I was sitting and got me refills.

I'm surprised they didn't offer a blowjob, but they're anti-gay, so I'm guessing that's why

just moved to the south.

its the only fast food place ive been to that hasnt

Holy fuck. There's an Arby's I sometimes stop by on my way home from work. Every fucking time, this.

>>6495951
so it's the only place with good service but also the only place that hasn't tasted good?

conundrum.

>>6495988
thats a list of various combinations ive encountered since moving to the south. I dont mean that ChickfilA is the opposite- just that I have yet to experience any of those qualities listed happening at one, but have at every other fast food place.

I hope this clears your confusion, I was mearly listing my experiences in all the other places.

>>6495959
It doesnt bode well for the food, in my opinion. Also, most of the places look dirty as shit inside, even more so than normal fast food places.

I havnt been here long, but fuck the south.

The only ignorance is such a statement as you just made. They don't have any kind of anti-gay policy in the store. The ownership just personally doesn't agree with gay marriage, which isn't anywhere close to the same thing.

I don't know the details, but everyone at those camps is there voluntarily, so it's not exactly some kind of unethical torture camp. And no, it's not "a bit different from having your own opinion."

>>6496142
It goes both ways, dumbass. Read up on the Nigerians living in Tokyo. They cause all kinds of problems and there's not even any white people involved. The issue isn't that the majority group is "racist." The issue is that there are many cultures living together where historically they have not lived in close proximity. If you want an example with no light skinned people involved at all, look at the recent division of North and South Sudan. They hated each other so much that they formed their own separate countries. But I'm sure you'll find a way to blame whites for this.

There is such a thing as two cultures that have low compatibility. For example, if you think that you could live the same way you do now, if you lived in a majority Muslim country, then think again. They actually execute people for the crime of homosexuality there. If it's possible for Western and Middle Eastern cultures to be incompatible, then maybe, JUST MAYBE, it's possible for ghetto blacks and middle class whites to have different, incompatible cultures.

The amount of delusion in this thread is staggering.

going to say two things

never seen a black person working there and i've been to probably 8-10 different chick fil a's in my life

they won't hire a ghetto person

i don't see many uninspired 30 year olds that hate life working there


the teenage and 20 year olds that work there generally don't hate life yet, and the older managers seem to be more motivated than most fast food places


also they don't seem to hire many fat people


that's my take on that

>>6496151
I live in Tokyo. The vast majority of the Nigerians are backed by Yakuza members who pay their expenses and bring them over from Africa because they think its cool to have black security guards for their clubs (I've heard it described like the clubs in Las Vegas).

The majority do not cause problems, since its not in their interest to be sent back to Africa on their own dime and they do not want to lose their well paying jobs that they use to send money back to their families back in Africa. They can be pushy, but its literally their job to get people into the club, and they make their money based on the number of people they bring in.

If you actually just talk to them and tell them you're not interested, they are normally knowledgeable about the area and are happy just to talk to someone since they know its a shitty job that causes people to dislike them.

The ones that do run the scam (and its a small number) run it because their Yakuza boss wants them to run it.

Stop talking out your ass about shit you don't know.

Actually, it's a way for a business to be polite to its employees, by giving them some guaranteed time off to spend resting or being with their families or whatever.

As opposed to all the whining you see here from service employees bitching about how their manager told them they have to work on Thanksgiving Day because HUGE SALES DAY!!!
