    I mean, if you don’t mind/know about the bigotry, it’s pretty fuckin good chicken. And their waffle fries are good too. Haven’t eaten there in years and I do miss the food. But it’s still a hard no for me.

          I’ve only been to CFA a few times, but even with lines wrapped around the building I don’t think I’ve ever waited longer than 10 minutes. Burger King is regularly that long of a wait and I was actually stuck waiting 20 minutes at McDonald’s last week (they asked me to pull up and pretty sure they forgot about me.) I try to plan ahead and not rely so much on fast food, but as much time as I spend in my car driving for work, I’m usually stopping somewhere 1-2x a week.

        They usually have double lanes and are taking orders throughout the line as shown above, the lines always long but seldom slow.

        That said fuck bigot-chicken

        I’ve never waited more than 16ish min for food, and that is an extremely long wait for them. It is always super fast, so idk where you are pulling this 1 hour long wait time stuff from unless you are talking about their opening weekends for new ones.

        The streamlined menu makes it so the line goes pretty fast.

        Even when it’s around the building it’ll only take 10 min.

        People turn everything so political. Is it worth waiting 1/2 for it? In my opinion no. I don’t boycott their product. I just don’t understand the obsession with it. It’s a chicken sandwich

              Condemning organizations which support hate speech and eroding of civil rights is too ‘political’, we better just not talk about it.

              It’s chicken. It isn’t political

              THE COMPANY MADE IT POLITICAL. Is it easier to understand who brought politics into the dinner conversation if it’s in larger letters?

                It’s sound you are making excuses that damage the community. It’s funny you want to seem holier than though when I don’t even eat there. I just don’t do it for political reasons. If I thought the food was good I would eat there because of the way they treat their employees.

                  It sounds like you are making excuses for “right to work” corpos owning their workers. Wage slaves are wage slaves and the further we remove the predatory practices the better. It is funny you want to seem holier than ### thou when you are really nothing but another clueless libertarian.

                    I have made zero excuses. I am not holier than thou at all as I clearly stated I would buy the chicken either way, if I thought the chicken was good.

                    I am sure you are crushing what ever imaginary issue you are trying to fight with such edgy words a wage slaves by not eating the chicken and I am sure that makes you feel better. I am sure you are doing your part to change the world and I wish you well.

                    I still won’t eat the chicken because I don’t think it taste very good.

              Why are you arguing when you know you don’t know what they’re talking about, and a quick Google search can verify what they’re saying? Or are you just playing stupid?

                Maybe you are simple but I clearly described that to me it’s chicken. I get with your slacktivism you think you are saving the world but you just look silly to me. While you not buying chicken shows you are stopping whatever imaginary threat you think is real, I don’t buy the chicken because I don’t like it. I can’t prove a negative. When you google, it comes back with nothing recent since CFA stopped donating to certain groups many years ago.

                  Well, I can see that someone who moves the goalposts this often isn’t worth arguing with. Maybe just state the point you really want to make the first time instead of being sheepish about it?

                  Also, “slacktivism”? Man, I can’t take you seriously. How hilarious would it be though— you’re so quick to assume people don’t do anything but argue on the internet, someone’s gonna show you up someday. You honestly sound a whole lot like you’re projecting about “slacktivism”. But oh well, onto reading the next Lemmy post.

                    I never moved the goal post. It’s chicken. Nothing more but chicken. My gay BIL works there and loves his job. He is treated well and it’s owned by a gay couple. Yet, you think you are going to help him by not eating the chicken? How strange.

                    Are you simple? I am the opposite of slacktivism. If I wanted CFA, I would go eat it because of the good they do. THe only reason I don’t eat it is I don’t like it.

                    I am sure you are leading the good fight in the real world. lol… that made me chuckle, thank you. You consider not buying a chicken sandwich as sticking it to the man and for that, we are not the same.

              I just looked at your profile, and man I have not seen anyone have such a strong downvote count. I mean, I don’t look at profiles a lot, but still. You’re a politically-edgy little bastard, aren’t you?

      Is the chicken even that good?, no way they don’t come from a CAFO. Stressed out chicken meat taste like water to me.

        Idk what the hell everyone else is talking about. Their chicken has always been great. When i get chicken from other fast food places its always hit or miss, and even on their best day, it’s as good as chick fil a on one of their average days. Hell, I’ve never had a dry or overcooked or small portion of chicken from them, and they always pay their workers well.

      I found the food greasy and unsettling, but I live in a large city full of better options. I guess I can get why people in a small town may miss it.
