      The food does taste good, and it’s reasonably healthy for fast food, additionally they pay and typically treat their employees well.

      Especially now that McDonald’s has the same exact thing. They even stole the bag. And are open on Sundays.

      My go-to is rofo though.

      It’s because assholes like the controversy and want to support the company. There was a time, long ago, when CFA legitimately had the only good fast food chicken, but those days are long gone. CFA is mid tier at best, so the only reason people would get in line to eat there these days is to own the libs

      can’t speak for the bigots, but as a non-bigot who buys it for my kids a couple times a year -

      there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. i say this as someone who doesn’t shop at amazon or wally world, but it’s really difficult to avoid every single brand/company with an asshole owner/ceo. additionally, my impression is they are one of the better employers in the area for people who just need a job and lack skills/ability to do something else.

      All the people here talking about boycotting chik-fil-a, yet the “boycott” has been going on for almost five years now and it made literally no difference.

      They’re way more likely to be affected by the right-wing boycott due to the company having a VP of DEI than a bunch of people that never ate there in the first place “boycotting” because of bigotry.

      I mean, if you don’t mind/know about the bigotry, it’s pretty fuckin good chicken. And their waffle fries are good too. Haven’t eaten there in years and I do miss the food. But it’s still a hard no for me.

          The streamlined menu makes it so the line goes pretty fast.

          Even when it’s around the building it’ll only take 10 min.

          People turn everything so political. Is it worth waiting 1/2 for it? In my opinion no. I don’t boycott their product. I just don’t understand the obsession with it. It’s a chicken sandwich

        Oh no, do you cry and piss and moan every time someone validly critiques a business you just want to shop at without having to think about ethical considerations?

        Someone call the fucking waahhhmbulance. So sorry that ethics are so hard for you.
