Breaking: Active Shooter HS Broward Co, FL

Post by CID1990 »

When private businesses do this I secretly pull for them to fail - as in bankruptcy failure - I don't care what the cause or crusade is. IDGAF about your corporate activism. I also don't pay attention to your green endorsements, your charities, your work with children's homes, whatever

I want you to do what I pay you to do and minimize my inconvenience and heartburn when you do it.

That said, US airlines don't have to worry about it - if sh1tty service was a killer theyd all be dead already... so I doubt pissing off NRA members is going to dent them any more than the regular manhandling of passengers

They'll go cap in hand to Uncle Sam whining for more o that corporate welfare

Same here, they are going to lose half their customers being stupid like this.
Will they.

Boycotts tend to not work in either direction. I’m guessing Chik fil A survived its public fear of the gay? (We don’t have any here).

Yum, we are being infiltrated by Chik fil A in the Twin Cities. I think their corporate message is being massaged to conform to modern values. Similar to politicians like Obama and Clinton. Follow the money. Unfortunately the right is not moving as fast in that direction.

Chick Fil A is so delicious, so clean, and the employees are so friendly that I don’t care about the owner’s feelings about gays.

Similarly, as an NRA lifer, I don’t really care what airline I fly on. 10 times out of 10, I’m picking the one that has some combination of the cheapest and shortest flight to where I’m going. So they made a show for the media on guns. Don’t care if it saves me $500.

Fried chicken, like simple, non-exotic spice mixtures can only be so good. You guys oversell the fuck out of these things... :ohno:

In other news, Floridians are so distraught about guns that a record number (7,000+ each day) attended the Florida Gun Show at the fairgrounds in Tampa this past weekend.

Of course it's just my opinion. I've had highly regarded fried chicken before, just not Chic fil A. The Elk Public House in Spokane's Santa Fe Chicken Sammy with roasted poblano and honey cream cheese has the most perfectly breaded and cooked chicken breast you could ever imagine.

Call it an educated guess that there's a ceiling on how good it can be.

Not legally in the state of Washington with the new distracted driving law. :ohno: Otherwise...yes, but I preferred to dine in, have great conversations with the wife, people watch, and have it with an Apricot Ale or a Fullers ESB back in the day. Do they serve those at Chick fil A?

I have no parochial connection to Chick Fil A. I believe they were founded in/around Atlanta. Their chicken sammich is the best in the industry, but that’s just part of the equation. Their biggest asset is their HR. They only hire good kids to work there. Friendly, hardworking, and the girls are wholesome hot. Those who have been there know what I mean. I hesitate to call it a fast food restaurant, though it surely is. It’s really in a different category than a McD, BK, KFC, Popeyes, etc.

It's basically fast food, so no alcohol. I'm a Sweet Tea Toddler at this point in my life. I'll pick it up from time to time and have it at home with my wife.

Totally different level than McD, BK, KFC, Popeyes, etc. Whenever I say Thank you, they say You're Welcome, very friendly. The chicken is so much better too.

Probably Kenny. He was bald and grey haired when I knew him 1997-2001
