ONE GOOD THING DOESN'T REEDEEM A EVIL ORG...

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 166 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

They can still eat shit since they STILL fund anti-lgbtq organizations, to my knowledge.

[–] PlantJam@lemmy.world 50 points 3 days ago (16 children)

I don't care if they still fund it or not. When somebody shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

The one nearest me is owned by a gay couple. Not sure how that slipped through the cracks…

[–] Goforce5@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I dont really understand it, but their employees in my area seem to be like, 30% gay. Maybe they are all closeted religious folk, but surely that cant be.

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Maybe they are just people who need a job??

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I know you mean that 30% their employees are gay, but it tickles me that it reads like you’re assigning them a position on the Kinsey scale.

Still not eating the overrated bigot chicken.

[–] bashibazouk@lemmy.world 46 points 3 days ago (8 children)

Christofascist chicken or AI fueled burgers...hmm, maybe I'll just get some tacos.

[–] rethnor@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

My taco bell has been usually an ai voice in the drive through. The staff thinks it needs too much babysitting to be helpful.

The taco guy on the corner and the halal truck down the street. I trust them with my life.

There's a reason why Chick Fil A is doing better than every other fast food company: Service.

[–] DudleyMason@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 days ago (5 children)

There's a reason why Chick Fil A is doing better than every other fast food company: Service.

No, the reason is blind loyalty from Christofascist Christian Nationalists.

Every time you pay them for their bland ass chicken, they spend some of that money on torturing gay kids for Jesus, or supporting a politician that wants to make heresy a capital crime.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Bullshit. There's always 5 extra employees at chickfila, an extra 1-2 in the drive through alone. My order is never wrong at chickfila, I've never had to complain of missing items.

Service trumps it all, whether you like the taste or not. I don't feel cheated, I don't feel abused. I get what I pay for and move on.

It's a very simple system that so many others fuck up so badly.

As much as you think that matters to everyone else as much as it matters to you, you are wrong.

You aren't wrong about what their owners do and what supporting them funds. But 99/100 people going to Chick Fil A just want a damn chicken sandwich. They don't think about the owners or politics. They think about going somewhere that is fast, easy, and relatively tasty (compared to other fast food places).

Blind loyalty only accounts for a very minor percent of their business.

Nah. I agree it helps them unfortunately,

But their food quality and service is better.

I say this as an antitheist

Yeah, as much as I disagree with the owners religious stance/beliefs, there isno denying that Chick-Fil-A is simple well priced, fast, decent fast food with great ustomer service added on around it. They have a very solid business model.

[–] GoldAxolotl@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

they are just not yet fell in the abyss of enshittification on the same level as others dropped themselves willingly, but it's only temporary and enshittification is so much greater than we are 😭

[–] JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's not a publicly traded company.

When you notice some company being way less shitty than others for apparently no reason, that's almost always the reason.

[–] invertedspear@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Publicly traded, or backed by private equity. Both of those situations encourage racing to the bottom, no matter what the founders might want.

They can do whatever they want, still not supporting them. Their food isn’t good.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 22 points 3 days ago

Nor are their politics!

Listen, I'm not going to tell them to get bent for doing the only sane thing they've ever done, but I'm not throwing them a welcome-to-the-family party either. The lesser evil is still evil and I will continue to avoid so much as letting my shadow darken their doorway.
