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.
it’s pretty fuckin good chicken.
But is it "wait a fucking half hour or more in a god damned drive through" good? Fuck no it isn't.
The streamlined menu makes it so the line goes pretty fast.
Even when it's around the building it'll only take 10 min.
can't speak for the bigots, but as a non-bigot who buys it for my kids a couple times a year -
there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. i say this as someone who doesn't shop at amazon or wally world, but it's really difficult to avoid every single brand/company with an asshole owner/ceo. additionally, my impression is they are one of the better employers in the area for people who just need a job and lack skills/ability to do something else.
there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
the only valid critique in the thread.
Although I am a bit tired of it amounting to an excuse of not trying to do positive things at all.
I’ve had this idea kicking around in my head for a few years: Christian Chicken Offset Charity. It would be an app that would notify you “You appear to be patronizng a bigoted establishment, do you wish to make a $1 donation to Charity X to offset?”
Could work for Hobby Lobby, In ‘n Out, etc, too.
It would be so much easier to just not shop at those places.
But if you didn't know about it in advance, that system would be useful
I don't eat chick-fil-A because of reasons but damn when I did they knew how to move lines fast. Also, the food is okay but it isn't as good as people make it out to me.
I tried it a few times when it came to my area after hearing people rave for years, and I feel the same. It's good, but that's it. On par with KFC.
Popeye's is way better in my opinion. It's also cheaper, and the staff tend to be pretty entertaining in an unintentional and chaotic way. It's the only fast food restaurant where employees are consistently very honest. Like, if they don't have red beans because somebody fucked them up, I have been told exactly that.
“You get what you get. NEXT!”
Ngl the raw “you think I give a fuck about this job?” attitude their employees give off is super refreshing compared to the saccharine, focus tested to death, mandatory prompts that pass as conversation at Chic-Fila
its a Christian thang
bigot chicken
Fuuuuuccccck Chikfila
You can see it in the photo, but it's always bothered me how my local chic fil a built a nice covered spot for their workers to work with heaters and fans for temperature control and then I basically never see the workers actually work there. They all seem to work at the very beginning of the line, never patient enough to just let cars move up to them.
Why build it that way if you never use it (or aren't allowed to)??
They go down the line during a rush to give the kitchen more time to prep orders.
And people in us say somethig about weather when talking about pedestrian infrastructure.
I don't know what those are, but I love standing in the rain and I hate getting wet. So that just looks incredibly nice
Yes but have you ever been stuck in a 1 foot square tent with yourself?
The in-person order taking is a much worse experience for the customer. Let me look at the damn menu board. It should not take any more time to prepare a meal than it takes for a car to progress from the order board to the window. I don’t see how them getting the order earlier (presumably the purpose of this) is helping in any way.
If you want chick fil a and value your time, the in store pickup is a much more efficient.
I used to work at chick-fil-a. Those things sucked. They were hot and smelled of body oder. It was hard to do anything in them.
Chick-fil-A minions*
I've read that the chicken Aldi sells in a red bag cooked in an air fryer is on par with CHICK-FIL-A. 🤷♂️
Rain hoods and bigotry.
Popeye's chicken sandwiches are awesome and no one has to stand in the rain.
You should visit the Popeye's in Detroit. You place your order, sometimes you get a bag full of food you didn't order and appreciate the generosity. Other times the staff takes a 30min weed break before they get to serving you. It's a special place.
