Am I the only one that thinks Chik-Fil-A is overpriced? What do they charge like 2-3 dollars for their regular chicken sandwich? They provide a fucking pickle! Wow! You telling me you can't even add more toppings to your overpriced piece of shit sandwich for that kind of money?

That is two STRATEGICALLY placed pickles to you! 


Not only that, but other toppings would RUIN the taste. I can't imagine biting into a Chik-Fil-A sandwich with any other toppings on it. But that's just personal preference.

Those toppings would take away from the fried grease taste right?

 I assume that you have had one of their sandwiches.

Back in early 2000 on Texas Tech campus.  Like I said Chik-Fil-A is overpriced.  Why would I eat at an overpriced fast food place?  They aren't some high end "fast food" place like Rudy's or Mighty Fine Burger so their price isn't justified. 

The whole closed on Sunday reminds me of their Christian values which then reminds me of the hard liquor ban on Sunday (and can't buy beer/wine till noon on Sundays) thus pissing me off.

Some people just like it like that. It's just one of those Company Policy thing's, I guess.


Can't mess with a classic I guess?  Their waffle fries are alright I suppose.

Alright? ALRIGHT?!?! 

They are AH-MA-ZING!!!

If I'm going to eat diabetes, I'm not going to be a sissy about it. I want to taste that delicious death grease.

Closed on Sunday means that their workers do get a day off.  And, well, considering you don't seem a fan of the food, I would think you would wish they would be closed 7 days a week.

You actually think they have their regular hourly employees working so much that they get overtime?  I am sure they have enough employees that they probably get an average of 20-30 hours a week if that.  I am sure the managers that are salary based appreciate a day off since they don't get overtime pay, but I guarantee that most hourly workers there hardly ever see any overtime.  Paying someone 12-15 dollars for overtime pay?  Screw that they can easily just hire another high school student or someone else.  I wouldn't go that far to see them gone but I don't see what all the fuss is about them. 

Anyways, I'll leave the discussion but I just thought it was funny that people would stand in lines for hour/hours for a chicken sandwich (I can barely wait in lines for roller coasters and that is way more fun than eating a chicken sandwich).  The governors that stated they would ban them from coming to their city were full of shit and totally wrong.  Not going to make me stand in a fast food line though...  Instead of fasting we protest by eating!  America Fuck Yeah!

I don't get any of this. Chik-Fil-A is a family-owned business, and that family doesn't support same-sex marriage. It's their personal view and no matter how dumb it is, like anyone else in the country, they have a right to share it. They also have the right to make donations to any cause they see fit.

It's not like the business refuses to serve gay people. People can protest, they can boycott, they can speak out, but why? To try to change one person's stance on an extremely divisive issue? You can't make this guy change his religion. He's obviously a very devoted Christian, of the sort that opposes same-sex marriage.

Even in a potential future where same-sex marriage is 100% legalized, this man is entitles to his opinion, as long as he doesn't actively discriminate against anyone, which he doesn't seem to be doing.

I read in an article that there were a lot of prejudiced church people in those lines preaching from the line. LOL Christians will never let gays live.

Thanks for generalizing.

My whole Family and all the people that I talk to in my Church aren't like that. I have many friends that are Christian's and they don't care/are for Gay's. So stop the generalization.


Wow don't get so sensitive, just because i spoke about a bunch of individuals who quote a book and use it as a reason to dislike others lifestyle. Well in this instance the bigotry head is mostly going to be turned in the direction of Christians. Might not like it, but when an anti-gay rally happens its generally Christians, but when its someone (muslims & others) else send me an Im. But since you're a nice person I will say Christian individuals rather than Christians as a group. I dont dislike Christians, I used to be one and my family consists of Christians, but its kind of a known thing.



Just ate there tonight. It was delicious.

@ sethnintendo

What kind of logic is that? You said they skimp on toppings and charge $2.75, which makes them over priced, while Jack in the Box gives you more toppings. Where do you think that extra $1.64 you just paid Jack in the box went towards? Besides, you could always just order the deluxe, which has cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles for an extra $0.80.

I haven't got a clue about Chick-Fil-A, but I've known of companies that have reduced hours (and days of week) to have fewer, more reliable employees that work longer hours ...

This is an unusual strategy for a fast food company because most of the companies that do this are service based companies that people will work around their new adjusted hours. For example, when I was younger a local model shop was closed on Monday and Tuesday; and only had two staff members who worked full time.
