Isn't that going a little to the extreme? I mean, CFA is good, but it isn't that good.

Since I like fries, I generally stay way from getting my meat fried too, so I stick with the grilled and it is actually quite good. IMHO, the best grilled chicken sandwich of any fast food restaurant and better than some fast casual and sit down chains. I like that they use halfway decent lettuce and tomato and you can get a quite tasty whole wheat bun.

As an atheist, the religious thing bugs me too, but I have no problem giving business to a place that makes a good product. If they were actively discriminating against people, I would have a problem, but simply being religious and closed on Sundays doesn't bother me. Indeed, Cathy himself said that his religion isn't the only reason they close on Sunday. They also do it, as mentioned elsewhere, to give their employees at least one day of rest a week. That is something I really can appreciate, as an employment lawyer, because there are tons of people who get completely screwed on their work schedules.
