I think that there are some problems with the extreme level to which their corporate takes "religion" particularly when it comes to the way their employees are treated. I do not hate Christianity, but their practices have been over the top at times. But that is perhaps getting too much into the OMNI side of things.
I do love the sandwiches, both breaded and grilled versions.

It happens that our "home" CFA exists in a county that has blue laws, so the entire mall was closed on Sundays - I didn't know until recently that all of their shops are closed on Sunday.
Now, can we stop the religion banter and get back to talking about how delicious Chic-Fil-A is before this gets closed? In particular, the Polynesian Sauce is out of control delicious.

On topic. What I like about CFA is that no matter what you buy or how you substitute it the price is always fair. A combo price is just the regular price of each individual item added up to equal the combo price. So if you want to buy a sandwich, fries and coke the price is the same whether you say sandwich, fries and a coke or number 1. No discounted pricing, everyone pays the same price. That is fairness.

It is by far the best fast food restaurant. No doubt about it! The Christian motives behind it are another reason that it is so successful. It is a wonderful place for families to carry their children. Great atmosphere. Family friendly. Of course if you don't agree then there are other fast food places that you can "settle" for.

[QUOTE=Eastbay1K;10494456]I refuse to eat there... QUOTE]
For the same reasons Eastbay 1K stated, I do not typically eat at Chik-fil-A. My gay dollars are better spent elsewhere.
That said, I do sign up for free Chik-fil-A notices and coupons, and often search the web for coupons... The only thing better than my own personal boycott of this company is to use coupons which give me a free sandwich or something. I'd even ask for a complimentary cup of water with that. =)
Thumbs up to their tasty chicken!

If you eat at CFA just once or twice a month, it's not that hard to find coupons. Multiple times a week and the expense would add up.

Kind of a fair weather fan here.
I like most of what their menu offers and the waffle fries are amazing but one thing I'd love to tell their owner: DON'T SOAK YOUR HAMBURGER PATTIES IN BUTTER! Wow is it ever so salty. So much sodium it's sickening.
