I haven't had Chick-fil-A in close to 10 years. Fuck em.

    The chicken is half decent but like, I just kind of hate them even more than I hate other fast food restaurants because of their politics. I know there are no virtuous corporate overlords but the closed on Sunday thing is really fucking pretentious.

    New York State gave them a contract to be in every rest stop on our main highway. I was opposed on moral grounds initially, but when I found out about the Sunday thing, I was flabbergasted at how boneheaded a move it was. Literally travelers can't get food on the highway one day per week.

    i hear they have decent sauces but like, sweet baby rays is better.

    I concur! Sweet Baby Ray's is superior home decor and makes a great bookend!

    Sweet Baby Ray's isn't my favorite sauce out there but it's pretty damn good for a sweet, tomato based sauce. Like, to the point where there are a significant number of better commercial sauces (and a hell of a lot of worse sauces, let's be honest) what use it as the base for their recipes.

    I'm not going to relegate it to furniture like KC Masterpiece or some garbage like that.

    I was referencing a video of the very human robot, Dark Fuckerberg, where you can see a bottle of SBR on a shelf behind him. :)

    There's a chain called Pollo campero and they have this campero sauce and it's so good. Better than Chick fil a sauce, and I like their chicken more too. Chick fil a has super soft chicken that toothless people can eat it with ease, and I don't like that type of chicken.

    Do I dare to ask why? BTW I am not familiar with USA food establishments.

    Not who you asked but the restaurant makes great food and has awesome service. Best chicken sandwich in the fast food world. They have waffle fries and good lemonade.

    That about ends that. The reason a lot of people boycott them is because they have donated to anti-LGBT+ causes (conversation therapy) and other hate fueled political agendas that people don't like.

    I think The Good Place said it best:

    Eleanor: Yeah, there are booby traps everywhere. Like, there's this chicken sandwich that if you eat it, it means you hate gay people. And it's delicious.

    Judge: It is. It is so good.

    If Chic-Fil-A has the best chicken sandwiches in the world, I have to wonder how small your world is.

    It's not even as good as it used to be. The quality of the buns and the chicken have dramatically changed. Even the pickles are worse than they used to be. Their sodas have always been mostly ice, and the quality of the waffle fries has always been location dependent. How hasn't another chain taken over their market share?

    Because other chains don't say "my pleasure."

    Real talk, at least in my area CFA's service is still head and shoulders above any other fast food restaurant. I will often choose them over other locations because I know I won't be waiting around for 10-15mins for my order.

    Don't they donate their profits to anti gay churches?

    They used to, then they got caught and said they stopped...then it came out the founder still did it, then he died. His son and current owner probably still does? But then one of its locations recently celebrated a gay couple's marriage and the national chain backed them up so who knows anymore.

    PDQ is a realistic replacement if you have one nearby.

    Dave's Hot Chicken is pretty damn good for a national brand too.

    Edit: I just realized PDQ is pretty much exclusively in Fl and VA, USA

    Whoops!

    Imagine doing sassy-food-merchant social-media viral-marketing about global terrorism in real time.

    Something very fundamental has perverted in us.

    The name stands for “chicken filet, A1 quality” which you only get from godfearing poultry

    A whole restaurant chain will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 79 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Chick-fil-A, Inc.!

    I think it makes more sense to say praise be to christ in this case, no? That was an insult, not...literally praising allah.
