    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?

            are you trying to imply that being a fedora’d edgelord is somehow worse than being gullible enough to believe there’s some invisible magical sky wizard watching you diddle yourself?

            LOL the answer to your question is no, but that would be me if the choices were that, or be someone who gets butthurt any time someone belittles jeebus

            enjoy your “family friendly” chick fila tv

            this you?

        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.

        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?
