You're missing the virtue signaling of eating at Chick-fil-A. People see it as a wholesome Southern option that sticks to the hardworking America of yesteryear morals. IE no gays, overt Christianity, and limited minorities or immigrants up front.
Don't go to Chick-fil-A. Its not morally worth it.
- showdeddd 4y agoWithout needing to resort to racist slander like you did, I can tell you why chick-fil-a rules: - employees are friendly and work quickly - the food tastes great and costs no more than other fast food - the food is healthier than other fast food When I go to a place like Mcdonalds or Burger King, the employees are typically angry, mean, rude, and work slowly. And I get a pile of slop that obviously reduces my lifespan.
- kcplate 4y agoOvert Christianity, I guess. They tend to have contemporary Christian music playing softly as background music, and have occasional signage with a scripture on it, but it’s not like you are going to a church service. If you weren’t looking for it, you might not even notice it. However in my experience literally everything else you listed is completely inaccurate. People in the south eat at Chick-fil-A because they like Chick-fil-A food. I see all sorts of people eating there. It’s remarkably diverse.

- brodouevencode 4y agoRemember when you'd use a company just because they provided a good product or service? I guess now they have to align with your political views.
- a2tech 4y agoWhen companies share their owners beliefs, yes, they've brought politics and religion into the purchase process. I haven't asked them, they've made a public stance. I can't ignore it without giving up my personal morals, which I won't do for a fast food chicken sandwich.
- brodouevencode 4y agoBesides the one interview with the owner stating his Christian beliefs (because he was asked), how else do they share their beliefs?
- kcplate 4y agoI often wonder when I see a car with progressive/left bumper stickers in the Chick-Fil-A drivethrough if there was an internal voice debate over whether or not they should buy the forbidden chicken. I have hope that delicious chicken biscuits may be the thing that is able to transcend partisan politics.
- brodouevencode 4y agoGood products and hospitality transcend most problems for most people. There will be some that cannot get past their ego.
