Sung by comedian Tim Hawkins, to the tune of "Yesterday":

Chick-fil-A,
I could eat their seven times a day.
Where the people laugh and children play,
Oh I’m in love with Chick-fil-A.

Suddenly,
I need waffle fries in front of me.
With some nuggets, and a large sweet tea,
Oh Chick-fil-A, you set me free.

Kids get in the van so we can go there today.
But their stores are closed,
Oh I know, cause it’s Sunday. (Mutters.)

Chick-fil-A,
what a dirty rotten trick to play.
Now I have to settle for Subway.
Oh I’m in love with Chick-fil-A. (Hums.) Chick-fil-A.

The local one has a 'find the cow' contest. They hide a plush toy cow in various places around town (has to be in the city the store is in) and then they give clues on facebook. A friends SIL has found it numerous times. The prizes sound decent. I think they do it weekly and the prize is worth between $20 and $50 per time.

Yeah, I think it's a smart business move actually (as much as it pisses me off). I live in the bible belt and it's a great marketing ploy for my area, as many people use this as a reason for Chik Fil A loyalty. Oh, and I would argue In N Out Burger can compete on the fast food front. That place is pretty awesome too.

And it's the hipster thing in Chicago now? That's something I would definitely not have expected.

Another moran that missed the point.

At some point, though, you do approach the price of a cheap slower carryout place. For a $1-2 more, you can get a chicken sandwich and fries at most places, and it is probably much better than CFA.

If I infer your point correctly, it's pretty easy to miss. A $6 value meal is not any more expensive than Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, and many others when you look at the cost of a chicken sandwich with fries and a drink. In some areas Chick-Fil-A might actually be cheaper.

I disagree with your assumption that they are the most expensive.

And what's this talk about cheap slower carryout? A CFA sandwich with fries (no drink) is under $5, fast, and delicious.

So you have no point.

On what planet would Chick Fillet be considered expensive? Yes it costs more than McDonalds but there is real meat in the sandwich.

The fries are awsome, the sandwich is delcious, and the strawberry shake has strawberries in it.

I would never thought of putting pickles on a chicken sandwich but it really adds to the taste.

I also wish more things were closed on Sunday. Not for a "Honor the Sabbath Day" reason but it allows more family time.

if you have young kids, family nite at Chick Fil A is a great deal. Kid's meals are free. I can feed everybody for around $20 -- cheaper than McD's.

The employees hover around the dining room asking if they get you a refill on your drink or extra sauce, etc. That's my favorite part, making the fast food employees jump at my every whim.

:iatp:, but it's not nearly as awesome as a lot of people make it out to be either. Also, it's still an irresponsible franchise IMO, since they do sacrifice health for price. Don't get me wrong, I still eat there because it tastes good, but it's definitely a place where the true cost of the food is higher than the sticker price. However, I do give them props for the amazing quality of shakes. Only fast food I can think of with better shakes is Culver's.

I normally don't eat there anyway, but now it's a concious decission. Hey you want to mix religion and politics with fast food? Just sell burgers and STFU Chik fil A.
In N Out is the burger selling Christian organization, not Chick Fil A ;) In any case, Chik Fil A has always been openly Christian, so this isn't a surprise at all to me.

I'm not religious, but I do give them credit for sticking to their values, even if it means I don't get delicious Chik Fil A on Sundays. Best fast food chain in existence imo.

I can see kind of understand refusing to do business with someone because of their politics (although most of us do business with political adversaries every day without knowing it), but shutting a business out of your city bacause of politics is kind of a slap in the face to people that 1) don't care one way or another and 2) might enjoy the product the business sells.

People rarely think of the flipside of the equation: what would happen if a mayor in Mississippi actively kept a business out because the business openly supported gay marriage?

The Jim Henson Company has severed ties with the fast food chain Chick-Fil-A. The company said the decision was made due to Chick-Fil-A's opposition to gay marriage.
The restaurant's CEO said in an interview last week that the food retailer supports the biblical definition of the family unit.
As a result, The Jim Henson Company decided to support GLAAD - a lesbian, gay and transgender advocacy group.
The Los Angeles Times reported the company had been producing puppets for Chick-Fil-A's kids' meals. All proceeds the company made from the puppets will be donated to GLAAD.

In my opinion IT DOES matter. If you want to be JUST a fast food place then don't have public statements about politics and religion, etc. You're a corporation that should be in the business of selling food and making money. Burger King doesn't go on record saying that jews are bad. Because they sell delicious flame grilled burgers.

Now if you want to be MORE than just a chicken fast food place and make public statements (as is your right) about religion and specific groups of people then you must intentionally WANT to be more than just a place that sells burgers...at which point your stances will influence me as to weather I want to eat there, want to petition my lawmakers to kick you out, etc. As is my right.

Not really a bad person. Just means you hate gay people and want to see them rounded up and put in work camps.

In all honestly, that makes you somewhere between jay walker and hamburglar levels of bad.

http://www.theonion.com/articles/chickfila-debuts-new-homophobic-sandwich,28888/?e


ATLANTA—As part of its recent efforts to publicly align itself with fundamentalist Christian values, the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain announced today the debut of its new Queer-Hatin' Cordon Bleu sandwich that would be on sale in all of the company's 1,600 restaurants this Wednesday.
In a press conference to reporters, company representatives said the homophobic new sandwich will include the national fast food chain’s trademark fried chicken filet wrapped in a piece of specially-smoked No Homo ham that would be topped with a slice of Swiss cheese and lathered in a creamy new Thousand Island-based Fag Punching sauce.
"The Queer-Hatin' Cordon Bleu is our company's way of showing our firm commitment to strong, Christian family values," said Chick-fil-A spokesman Robert Gary, before adding that the vehemently anti-gay rights sandwich comes served in a combo with waffle fries and a medium soda for just $6.95. "From the very first morsel of this savory meal to the very last bite, customers can envision gays burning in hell with their sodomizing cohorts, and know that our sandwich is on their side.”
"Of course, the young ones will want to finish their meals off right with a No Fudge Packin' Soft Serve Cone," Gary added. "I can't think of a better way to follow up a sandwich this good."
While the release of the Queer-Hatin’ Cordon Bleu has led to anger from pro-gay rights groups, loyal Chick-fil-A customers claim they are happy they can finally enjoy a sandwich that takes a firm stance on the issue of homosexuality.
"Any sandwich that combines that great Chick-fil-A flavor with a hefty dose of vitriolic homophobia is definitely going to keep me coming back for more," said Atlanta customer John Oaks. “Come Wednesday, I’m going to be first in line for this thing.”
According to sources, the Queer-Hatin’ Cordon Bleu is merely the first of Chick-fil-A’s new family values menu which is set to include the AIDS Is God’s Curse chicken nugget combo and the Fags Caused 9/11 strawberry fruit smoothie

Marriage was originally a religious right or sacrament. I think it should be allowed to stay that way and gay couples should be allowed civil unions which have all the legal aspects of a marriage, just not the religious ones.

Huh.. separation of church and state. Where have I heard that before?
Well, your first statement there is 100% false. But I will play along...

And what say you about the non discriminatory churches that perform gay marriages and sacraments?
Seems like those marriages should be just as legally valid as any other churches?
And I guess you can only get married by a religion then atheist are not allowed to get married in your views?
And are you saying that there should be no legal differences once a couple gets married, since it is only a religious ceremony and should have no legal bearing.

separation of church and state sounds like a great idea. only if ignorant hypocrites out there actually knew what it meant when they try to hide behind it.

Civil Union = Goverment recognized legal contract binding individuals.

Social Union = Non-government "contract" (without any legal standing) which binds individuals in the eyes of nongovernmental organizations. You can call this marriage or whatever you like.

No marriage is recognized by the government as the government only recognizes civil unions.

This of course will never happen as most Americans can not accept any aspect of society beyond the reach of the government.

“Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values,” the mayor said in a statement when asked about Moreno’s decision. “They disrespect our fellow neighbors and residents. This would be a bad investment, since it would be empty.”
With Chicagoians being gunned down daily on the streets, this could be true.

Libertarians like to think people can have different opinions and get along, but that tends not to be how actual people work. Real people, especially when they act politically, tend to be very on/off when it comes to moral questions. Either being homosexual is right or wrong. To be celebrated or vilified. If it's to be celebrated, legalize. If it's to be vilified, make it illegal.

Legal but not celebrated is not a sustainable equilibrium. It will either one day be celebrated or one day be illegal. That's just how things work in a democracy.

I went to a gay wedding reception, but it was just one part of a longer trip and I didn't pack well. Had some beat up dress shoes that didn't match my belt, and the only nice clothes I brought were kind of shitty. So I had to buy some nicer stuff at the hotel, in somewhat of a panic because it was totally last minute.

Later on I told the gay friend the story, and said something like "I couldn't show up to a gay wedding in ugly shoes!", but he didn't think it was funny. I think he was kind of offended.
