    Alternate title: Chick-fil-A about to raise menu prices.

    Also, don’t buy from them. It’s run by Christian nationalist and every dollar you give them goes to taking away the rights of someone else.

      You gotta donate to planned parenthood for every dollar spent there. It’s like buying carbon offsets, but for sandwiches. /s

        The last time I was in a Chick-fil-A there was a flamboyantly homosexual guy wearing a neckerchief who took my order.

        I had many questions, but I kept them to myself.

          I worked there for 6 years while I was still struggling with accepting my own queerness. I thought that by working a “Christian job” while going to a “Christian school” would help me “overcome” my queerness.

          It was a desperate attempt to be accepted by the community I grew up in.

      Also, because chickens are sentient, sapient creatures! Their experiences are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own.

        chickens are sentient, sapient creatures! Their experiences are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own.

        do you have evidence for the sapient claim? and what is the basis of whether their experiences matter: how much, and to whom? and as for the identical-ness of the nature of their suffering, can you substantiate that in any way?

        I won’t go there on my own but don’t say no if someone I’m with wants to go…that place is the second most overrated fast food chain in the country right behind In-And-Out. I really don’t understand the hype, it’s just an OK chicken sandwich. The sauce is good once in awhile, though

          Nah, In-N-Out hits all the right spots imo. Chick-fil-A is definitely overrated as fuck though. The one in my local mall is almost always kind of soggy, never really crispy, and almost always just “meh.” They constantly have a line at least 10 minutes long most days.

          And then there’s another one down the street from the mall, and both their drive through lanes are always packed.

            Goyslop is an antisemitic slang term from 4chan so I’m not so sure I can agree with you there…

                No, it’s antisemitism implying that Jews are the elite oppressing the peasants. I am certainly not one to throw that term around lightly:

                goyslop

                (Internet slang, 4chan, offensive) Low-quality, unhealthy food, seen in antisemitic circles as being promoted by Jews for consumption by gentiles for malicious purposes.

                I agree that it’s not great…but not that a famously Christian fast food chain is serving low quality food at the behest of Jewish elites.

        I won’t buy from them because they’re Christians.

        I guess that’s an idea

    Missed opportunity to have just bought the assets from Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, which apparently had rights to actual content?
