But you’re still a shift worker at a fast food place. Surely not all of them love their jobs.

The company gets to pick from a better class of employee as a result, it would seem. One of the things I love about them is that a very good friend of mine has a special needs child (the kid’s around 19 years old and will probably need adult assistance for the rest of his life) and Chick Fil A has a part time job for him that he loves and allows him to earn money and gain what bit of independence he can. I’ve noted this at most of the Chick-Fil-As I’ve visited and at almost none of the other fast food establishments around here. I mean, I don’t like aspects of their politics, but I feel the good they do outweighs the bad. Such is life. So I continue to patronize their establishment. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Around here, at Wendy’s, a spicy chicken BLT, four nuggets, fries, and a medium drink is $4. If you’ve paid a couple of bucks for a fundraiser keychain tag at the beginning of the year, you can add a junior frosty for free. That’s a complete meal, including dessert, for less than half of the price cited for CFA. And a similar meal at Rally’s is only $3. You’re comparing the cheapest menu items at Wendy’s to Chick-fil-A. Those .99 cent chicken sandwiches at aren’t even comparable to the other chicken sandwiches Wendy’s offers including the home style, spicy, and grilled versions which go for about $4.69. A home style chicken combo comes out to about $6.70 at Wendy’s and pretty close to the same about for a Chick-fil-A combo. ---

They believe that they could grow their revenue in the US by 50% if they could capture the people that turn past their restaurants because the perception that the wait will be too long, because of the filled parking lots and long drive thru lanes. So why don’t they? Build more stores, and the lines won’t be as long. If there are really 50% more potential customers out there, then build 50% more stores. ---

I hate their politics but love their sandwiches. Actually the “closed Sunday” thing doesn’t bother me; I think it’s cool that fast food workers can have at least one day a week that they are guaranteed not to be called in. The employees there do seem happier and busier than average. The newer builds around my area have just MASSIVE drive throughs. We’re talking double-lane, hugely extended drive-thru lanes that can easily accommodate 30 vehicles during the lunch rush. Even if the line is long, they are pretty impressive with how quickly and efficiently they move the lines along, inside and out. If I refused to eat at or do business with every single corporation that annoys me with their political messages, religious messages, and general corporate greed, where the hell would I shop? ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > OK, so to be fair, compare it to the cheapest items Chick-Fil-A offers. You’re still comparing a budget item to a mid-tier item. The Wendy’s .99 cent chicken sandwich is both smaller and the meat of lower quality than any one of the three regular chicken sandwiches they offer. I’m a fan of Wendy’s and would rather have their spicy chicken sandwich to Chick-fil-A’s spicy chicken. But comparing a budget item to a mid-tier item isn’t exactly fair. Sure, Wendy’s wins on price with this one but the .99 cent sandwich is an inferior product to even other Wendy’s products. > [@](#): > > So why don’t they? Build more stores, and the lines won’t be as long. If there are really 50% more potential customers out there, then build 50% more stores.

I enjoy their food but I don’t go there because of their politics. I don’t have a problem with closing on Sunday even though that is when I’d usually go to a place like that. I think it is good for workers to have one day they can rely on having off. Some of the things they do I could really get behind, such as this story: > [@](#): > > …the fast food chain decided to break that rule on Dec. 17 for a very important reason. On that Sunday, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport lost power, which caused more than 1,000 flights to be grounded. > > When Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed reached out to the company to see if they could help feed hungry, stranded passengers, the restaurant’s employees were more than happy to oblige. However it’s the owners particular version of Christianity and the organizations they support that keeps me from ever giving them my money. ---

> [@scabpicker](#): > > I really think that people who are attributing their success to their politics are projecting. As noted, they were quite popular before that became known. I abhor the politics and the creepy christian overtones, but the food is: damn tasty, always consistent, served fucking fast.

At the location nearest my work, during the lunch rush there are four people walking the two lines of cars taking orders and handling credit card transactions themselves. When you get to the window, there’s a guy standing outside marshaling the three folks inside to complete bagging the order and completing any cash transactions. It’s never more than 10 minutes, even when the line is going out the parking lot and down the street. > > I invariably want one on Sunday, and Truett Cathy is a jackass for closing on that day. Hire some fucking atheists and make some fucking sandwiches on Sunday. Hell, make the on Saturday and put them in a vending machine. If you hear about someone getting arrested for breaking into one and making a sammich while completely loaded on a Sunday, it’s probably me. No, no one else’s chicken sammich tastes the same. > > At least they don’t have that stupid “IN GAWD WE TRUST” bullshit plastered all over the windows like Whataburger does. You want a drive through line that takes some sort of religious dedication to get through? Go to Whataburger. I love them, but they are fucking slow. My sister used to roll two huge joints before she had me drive her there. Any time of the day or night, we’d have time to finish both of them between ordering our food and reaching the window to pay. > > Why go to Whataburger? It’s tasty as hell (and yeah, it IS better than almost every other fast food burger), they’re fucking everywhere in this state, and they’re open 24 hours. Their drive through line is the fast food consumer’s equivalent of the gulag, though. If anything, I know more people who explicitly avoid Chick-Fil-A because of their Christian glurge and anti-LGBT stance, than I do anyone who thinks that’s a feature, not a bug. And that’s totally dependent on which Whataburger you go to… most aren’t that bad. ---

I have no idea of the ideological leanings of the owners of most businesses that I patronize. If a business owner wants to make their views public, they have to accept the reaction. Some businesses I avoid for that reason, and others I support. It isn’t a mandatory thing that these views are made public by the businesses, that’s a choice they willingly make. ---

^This.^ As a libertarian, I think the owner of a business has every right to state views outside the mission of the business itself – or not. If they do lay their views out there, I am free to decide whether they align with my mindset or not. I had no trouble joining the Great CFA Boycott because I didn’t like their chicken sandwiches much anyway; my preferred boneless chicken is Popeye’s spicy chicken tenders. I did like their waffle fries, though. And the cow campaign. > [@fedman](#): > > I may have missed it, but what “religious crap” was in n out involved with?

> [@Lamoral](#): > > TOTALLY leaving aside their politics, speaking strictly as a business, they have accomplished a number of savvy strategies: > > 1. Their fried chicken tastes noticeably different from similar offerings from other fast food chains. It’s much more heavily marinated than other places’ chicken before being fried, which makes it more tender and also just more ‘memorable’ tasting which is always a good strategy. Along the same lines it’s also not as heavily covered with batter, and the pieces are even shaped differently. Doing something to make your product stand out, even in a very trivial way, is virtually always a smart move as long as it doesn’t involve an outright gimmick. > > 2. They serve waffle fries rather than the type of fries that can be found at virtually every other fast food joint. Again, it’s distinctive, and they’re good fries too - not too greasy, not too ‘gritty’ textured, and seemingly made of higher quality potatoes than are typically found with such meals. > > 3. Their ad campaign with the cows is really clever. I know a lot of people probably think it’s very obnoxious, juvenile, and annoying, but I think it’s actually clever as hell. The poorly spelled “eat mor chiken” signs and the idea of cows being ironically used to market chicken is something that grabs the attention of curious children, who are, of course, a major demographic that fast food chains need to target. Because their food has a distinctive taste, AND their visual ads have a very distinctive look, the combination is effective at locking in customer loyalty on a subconscious level. > > 4. They train their staff to be, well…for lack of a better word…really, really good at their damn job. Every time I’ve ever been there I noticed that their employees actually look like they’re busting ass, not dragging ass, to get everyone’s orders ready, and they never seem jaded or surly. Yeah I know, the inevitable retort that they’re just being robots putting on an artificial front mandated by the management. I’m not so sure. I think I’m decent at reading peoples’ body language and faces, especially people in the workplace, and either they go through intensive acting training as part of their hiring process, or they for the most part are genuinely enthusiastic to be doing their job. > > I don’t go there that often, but every once in a while. I do not agree with their political stance, but I am also not naive enough to think that my $7 is going to make a goddamn bit of difference one way or the other. If it’s not me buying the food there, it’ll be someone else. Another thing, as well; you know all those horror stories you hear about the what goes on back in the food prep areas of fast food restaurants? Completely not true for Chik fil A. I worked at one when I was in high school, and the kitchen was immaculate. And the food is really good, IMO. Quality, too - I used to make the lemonade. Step 1: Cut a box of lemons into halves, then juice them in a mechanical juicer. No mixes, here. (The lemons were refrigerated, and that damned juice would find _every_ hangnail and papercut on your hand…) I avoid CFA over their corporate support for homophobic organizations, but I do give them credit for what they do: sell good food. ---

> [@scabpicker](#): > > I really think that people who are attributing their success to their politics are projecting. As noted, they were quite popular before that became known. I abhor the politics and the creepy christian overtones, but the food is: damn tasty, always consistent, served fucking fast. The fact the staff is nice to pretty much everyone is a bonus. People inside political bubbles especially social media/internet ones tended to grossly overestimate how much average people care about various cause célèbre in those spheres. Even the audiences of political cable TV shows is a few million at most in a country of 300mil. Average people have heard of issues like changing the traditional definition of marriage, and a fair % might care to a significant degree, or did care back before it was a settled issue. But caring enough about what the founder of a particular business thought about an issue which is now basically settled (to the contrary of his opinion) to go there or not, that’s a small % of people I believe, either way. It would be interesting though to test that hypothesis, survey the people in Chik Fil’A’s to find out how/if it factors in why they are there (‘I feel guilty but it’s so good’, ‘the boycott calls make me _want_ to be here’, ‘I’ve never heard of the controversy’ [which is my guess for plurality answer], etc). And do it in a variety of areas to correct for the predominant local opinions. I strongly guess the big crowds in the CFA in the shopping area next to Teterboro Airport in NJ, the one we occasionally go to, are not mainly there to counter a boycott. They just like to eat there. We like it when we go there. But it is still junk food and to me more ‘tastably’ high sodium than some other junk food. So it’s a few times a year. Although I don’t like the concept of spreading politics into everything. I realize it’s not a constitutional issue, first amendment doesn’t deal with people not patronizing businesses because they don’t like the owner/founder’s politics which they have a right to do. I still think it goes against the general grain of a free society. Particularly given that the underlying ‘cause’ is defining the opinion _virtually everybody had only maybe 20-30 yrs ago_ of what ‘marriage’ is as now morally beyond the pale. If you think the definition needed to be changed, fine. In fact it has been changed which should be doubly fine from that POV. Seeking to punish people who still don’t agree with you, again IMO that’s just not the way to a harmonious society which is itself important, and again especially if you’ve already gotten your way on the actual public policy. But does that make me want to raise my junk food quota to go to CFA all the time? not particularly. ---

But you’re still a shift worker at a fast food place. Surely not all of them love their jobs. I believe CFA pays slightly higher than other fast food outfits, but as mentioned earlier there are a lot more employees at one time. So the local McD’s may have 5-6 people working the lunch rush, CFA has easily double that. It’s a lot easier to have a greater attitude when you aren’t overwhelmed with doing everything. At other fast food places, some of the employees have to be cashier and put your food together, whereas at CFA cashiers take orders and then you have other people putting the order together. > [@Spud](#): > > There is a Wendy’s very close to me and I love their Spicy Chicken Sandwich.

I used to not eat at CFA when corporate gave money to ex-gay organizations. They stopped doing that after the outcry. Now they give money to groups that don’t allow LGBTQ folks in leadership, but that’s not their primary focus (Christian Fellowship of Athletes, Salvation Army, etc). So I’ve decided to go back (it was the ex-gay donations I found to be too much over the line). It’s above average, but not wonderful, but their service is top notch.
