Happy Chik-Fil-A Appreciation Day!

JohnStOnge · Post by **JohnStOnge** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 5:30 pm

Got my chicken sandwich around 10 am. There was a bit of a line at the drive through but no crowd inside the restaurant yet. I went in and ordered without having to wait at all. My daughter and her husband went for lunch and she said it was REALLY crowded then. They had some employees...a couple of them kind of cute...there to dramatize the situation. That's the first picture below. I think they nailed it.

Everyone eating the junk they serve there will be happy there is ObamaCare in a few years!

Most of them probably already have health insurance as they are productive members of society who aren't constantly looking to the government as some kind of Father Figure. At least most of them who were out today making a statement are probably like that.

Now, we can't tell you that we personally checked with each and every one of Chick-fil-A's 1,615 locations in 39 states and Washington, D.C.

But we can point out this growing photo collection on Huckabee's Facebook page of people in Illinois, Colorado, South Carolina and elsewhere mobbing Chick-fil-A outlets. Some lined up in the summer heat to get inside a store, while others waited in cars as far as the eye (or the camera) could see for a chance to place their orders at the drive-through window.

Interest in Chick-fil-A was just as intense in the online world. For much of the day, "Chick-fil-A" was a trending topic on Twitter and the most-searched-for term on Google.

If they were productive members of society, they wouldh't have hours to waste in line.

Conversation I had in my office today about Chick Fil-A Appreciation Day:

Female Co-worker: I'm boycotting that place.
Me: I don't even know where there is one.
Female Co-worker: Me neither.
Me: So how you can boycott a place if you never go there in the first place?
Female Co-Worker: Even if I knew where there was one, I wouldn't go there.
Me: I don't think that's a boycott.
Female Co-Worker: Sure it is.
Me: Eh.

So: are boycotting a restaurant if you don't even know where one is, and you've never even gone to one?

I don't believe that's the way the office conversation went, JSO. Surely there was a 5 minute rant in there somewhere.

Smart move. Waiting in line for fast food is dumb. I'll probably go to the one in Royersford later this week, all the talk has given me a craving.

That wasn't me.

As I'm sure you realize, it wasn't about fast food.

But I did call my wife this afternoon and recommend to her that she not try to go to a Chik-Fil-A as it was obvious that the point had been made and she might lose like an hour of her time. She can always go tomorrow.

Read again Fetti. That wasn't JSO.

Schwing and a miss.

Yes, and I still think the idea is dumb. Just like I think the boycott is dumb.

They don't have CFA here. So I am boycotting them too!

BigSkyBears · Post by **BigSkyBears** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 7:21 pm

I don't like their food so I don't go there, but if I were to not support their business it would be because they're threatening a lawsuit against a folk-artist who makes "Eat More Kale" for his friend that grows the crop. CFA believes it violates their copyright and it's too close to their slogaon, Eat More Chiken." I don't know about you, but I don't get confused when I go CFA and start ordering Kale. This, to me is against the Gospel. It's bullying and not showing mercy and love, which is The Gospel.

If you wanted to be productive you'd turn yourself into manure.

I miss Citdog.

I really enjoy all the love from The Citadel. It is really kinda cute - text me dirty pictures at night, act tough on CS during the day.

Love you Citdograd1990!!!

JCPenney was boycotted just for hiring Ellen DeGeneras, they didn't even take a stand on gay issues.

I'm going Friday to watch the "kiss-in". It should be entertaining.

The more I think about this whole thing, the more ridiculous it seems. Only in America would a fast food chicken joint become the centerpiece of an important social discussion.

If you supported Chick-fil-a today, you financially supported campaigns to give the death penalty to people who commit a victimless crime.

How in the fuck is this "libertarian" John? How in the fuck does this fit into your fucking sick and demented definition of "LIBERTEH"?!

I'll give you a hint. It doesn't. You're Disgusting.
