What’s so bad about a plain sandwich that you can choose to put your own toppings on in the exact amounts you prefer? Are we really that lazy that we can’t open a couple condiment packages?
Besides, the sandwich is just something to eat with your waffle fries.
I want to second this. The dill pickle slices are what make the sandwich perfect.
No, the thing is that a sandwich shouldn’t have to have a bunch of extra crap all over it to taste like something. You should be able to add all that garbage if you want it, but the plain old bread and filling should be able to stand on its own.
I love that a) Chick-Fil-A chicken actually tastes and feels like a real slab o’ bird and b) I don’t have to remember to tell them to leave all the extraneous shit off it.
Gee, I never thought of it that way before! How intolerant I’ve been! I must go out forthwith and tolerate bigots, assholes, and schmucks of all views, otherwise my call for tolerance (I must have made one at some point, right?) is a sham!
I’m tolerant as a motherfucker of other people’s opinions. However, when they’re taking my money and turning around and giving it to someone who’s trying to influence the government to deny people fundamental rights, guess what? I’m not going to be giving them any more money.
It’s like with my daughter. If I give her a marker, and she turns around and scribbles on the carpet with it, no more markers for her. Same thing, only for “marker” read “dollar” and for “scribbles on the carpet” read “fund bigotry and oppression.”
Dill pickle slices are the Devil’s poker chips.
I, uh, think he was talking about the sandwich itself, not the policy. I hope so, anyway.
I mean I don’t care what the company does with their money as long as their sandwich is good
McDonald’s has a similar sandwich on their menu, the “southern chicken sandwich” which is just meat and bread with a pickle slice.
I am loving it. (fixed for grammar)
Yeah, and for years, I’ve had to ask for my chicken sandwiches plain at all those places. We have one restaurant that does it the way I like it - one. Can’t you let us just have this one? I mean, come on, if you want your lettuce and tomato just order the damn Deluxe sandwich. It’s not their fault you didn’t order the one you want.
Oh. :rolleyes:
I went once and found it way over priced for what I got.
Some of us do, and we’re still boycotting.
Yeah, because civil rights are sure as hell not as important as a tasty fried chicken sandwich. :rolleyes:
Three pickles shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three pickles. Four pickles shalt thou not count, neither count thou two pickles, excepting that thou then proceed to three pickles.
I didn’t know about the extent of their policies before. I don’t really like their nuggets, I find them dry and flavorless. Their chicken sandwhich I rarely get, but I get it because it is offered as part of my “donation goodies”. Not my favorite but if I need to pump up iron and get something after donating (or beind deferred due to anemia), a couple of those plain sandwhiches does the trick. Their breakfast biscuit sandwiches… Those are my favorites, and again, I don’t buy them at the store, per se, but as fundraising for a group in my school. Which can be slightly amusing, considering that that group has a significant amount of homosexuals.
And those sandwiches still have the evil pickles on them. They’re not even truly plain. Plain would be the bread and chicken, sans the horrible pickles.
It gets worse: It turns out that less than 35% of a Chick-Fil-A sandwich patty is made from beef! 
In all seriousness, I ate there all the time when I was in college living in the dorms. They had it in some of the food courts on campus, and due to the rather minimal variance in what anyone might order, there was pretty much no delay in getting your food if you were in a hurry. Just grab a sandwich and fries from under the heat lamps, grab your soda cup, and pay at the register. I tended to dip my sandwich in bbq sauce.
If they really do support those anti-rights wackos, I have to say I’m probably not going there in the near future. Of course, since I haven’t seen a Chick-Fil-A in Korea, that’s probably not gonna be a hard promise to keep.
Indeed.
That would be lovely iPhone autocorrect when typing too fast and not proofreading.
Setting aside the anti-gay stuff (which means I currently cannot in good conscience patronize CF-A), the deluxe with pepper jack cheese hits the sweet spot for me, and mayo is a must. I don’t hate the plain sandwiches, but I agree with some others that they’re a bit too minimalist for me. OTOH, I prefer Micky D’s ‘southern style’ chicken sammie to their more elaborate offerings, so I guess I’m just a big bundle o’ contradiction.
Canada has a minimalist chicken sandwich chain called Mary Brown’s. They’re pretty good too. One thing that cracks me up is that they serve the sandwich with the pickle placed on top of the bun rather than inside. It’s like, “here’s some pickle, but you don’t have to take it if you don’t want it”.
I love Chick-Fil-A. I don’t love their ownership and their politics. So I only go there a little.
And why don’t they put ketchup on the fries? Why do I have to do that??
