Yeah, once was enough for me as well.

What did you order? I find the sandwiches bland. I wouldn't recommend them to someone who's never been there.

I had a similar experience posted upthread, but decided to give the chicken biscuit breakfast a try based on the recommendations here. Now I echo your last paragraph. It was like some weird riff on teriyaki - sweet (ugh!), salty, and a little smoky (?) - but not as good. Never again.

Really, people, what's the big deal?

actually, it is perfectly legitimate to single out businesses that send their money to religious fanatics, terrorists, apartheid supporters, and anti-choice groups. i don't buy domino's pizza, and i don't buy gas from 76, for example.

Unless someone just wants to be environmentally unfriendly - 76 uses ethanol instead of MTBE additives - why boycott them vs. other stations?

Or are you thinking of Citgo?

Went to one at Bellevue Center Mall just outside of Nashville off of I-40 (exit 196), in 2003. Thought it was alright... nothing to write home about. Nice and moist chicken though.

I like CFA because of their advertising. Any company that has one animal trying to get us to eat another kind of animal scores big points in my book :)

it had to do with their support of the burmese dictatorship.

Aha, I was unaware of that. Thanks for the information.

Chick fil a
 

I like Chick-Fil-A but they are closed on Sunday (goes back to traditual values when alot of business were closed on Sunday) For some time just about any type of business is open on Sunday, Supermakets, Car Dealers, Banks, shopping malls. Do you think they will ever back down to their strong beliefs and open on Sunday.

No. And within a few posts, this will probably be in Omni PR.


The company's statement of corporate purpose says "the business exists to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us ..."

I do not believe they will start to open on Sundays. Somehow they get this mall waiver (usually the leases require stores to be open at all open mall hours) even when a local shop in the same mall would be evicted and sued for damages for the same conduct.

Staying on the business side - I think that mall managements look at what type of traffic and revenue CFA brings in, and then makes the decision as to whether to lease to them with the Sunday closing understood.

In my area, CFA seems to be concentrating more on free-standing locations, since they can offer drive-throughs. But then even Walgreen and CVS are closing older locations that can't offer drive-through and are building new stores with drive-up windows - in Coral Springs (an upscale suburban Broward County location) Walgreens has demolished a not-so-old Borders bookstore and built a big new 24-hour drive-through store.

I doubt they'll change (these traditional (religious) values likely draw some families to CFA) and as long as they bring in revenue for the mall, I doubt malls will start rejecting their retail presence.

One side effect of their No-Sundays policy is that it allows them to be more attractive to workers and (especially) managers. Fast food store managers work an ungodly :D number of hours, and have to be available at a moment's notice when some crisis comes up.

Being able to assure employees that you will have at least one guaranteed day off that won't get overturned is a big draw.
