Numerous Right-wing political observers went after Chick-fil-A after the chicken sandwich chain announced its renewed commitment to publicly embracing diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.

Chick-fil-A put out a statement on Tuesday to speak about its company mission to care for customers and employees alike, a purpose they summarize as “Better at Together.”

“We understand that the path toward Better at Together looks different for every business,” the statement says. “At Chick-fil-A, Inc., our commitment is to approach this work with intention and humility, always believing the best in one another and striving for common ground. We’re early on in our journey, but we’re honored by the opportunity to steward our organization’s greatest asset – our people – and are energized by the road ahead.”

Reading past the charged language, do we go back?
I say "we" but not the sort of food I eat anyhow.

Observations on the story?

1. I don't think CFA's statement...

says much of anything definitive at all. It just talks around the issue.

Besides, I really don't think their food is all that great.

2. I've never been there, but a friend of mine ate there and said that "it sucked."

If I need a greasy chicken sandwich fix, there's nothing better than Popeye's Spicy Chicken Sandwich. It's the best. I get a craving about every 6 months or so, lol.

3. I'm calling BS.

This is lip service. If they actually DO something - stop closing Sunday, welcome all genders (including paying for health insurance for all reproductive and gender affirming surgery, etc.) - then maybe people who actually like rancid pickle chicken might think of eating there.

4. What's wrong with closing Sunday? n/t

5. I've eaten there exactly twice.

It was well over a decade ago, at least before the reports of them supporting and donating to international anti-LGBT causes and laws. Both times the chicken sandwich was soggy, and I ate it right away, not like I waited til I got home.

I also don't remember it tasting all that spectacular. And yet, the one closest to us, which is right next door to a Popeye's, backs up street traffic with their drive-thru service - even with 2 lanes and employees out there taking orders.

No accounting for taste, I guess.

6. I will NEVER support Cick-Fil-A

The damage that company and Hobby Lobby have done is unforgivable.
