Considering it's likely a franchisee that has nothing to do with it, of course. -- nm - spamlet Aug 3, 12:39 30
- It's my understanding that CFA doesn't franchise. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 12:40 24
  - Sure they do. This article by Forbes is a bit old, but it talks about how the company manages franchisees -- (link) - Roger More Aug 3, 12:43 3

      - Sure. You should read the article, it gives some very specific examples of how the parent company exercises control. -- nm - Roger More Aug 3, 12:47 1

  - Yes, they do. There have been stories about franchisee's donating food to local pride parades. -- nm - spamlet Aug 3, 12:41

      - "is that the place just off the Highway?" -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 3, 12:52
      - Who are every bit as Christian as Chik-Fil-A -- nm - amoxy Aug 3, 12:44 14
        
        and vastly inferior. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 12:46 7
        
        I can't compare because I haven't had both, but I like their burgers - amoxy Aug 3, 12:47 6
        
        thousand island is not a burger topping. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 12:49 5
        
        oh, yes it is -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 12:51
        
        [deleted]
        
        Why not? -- nm - amoxy Aug 3, 12:50 2
        
        because of course. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 12:50 1

        Curious, how do you know that the owner doesn't? - ty97 Aug 3, 12:48 1

        And besides, I think we can all agree that "In-n-Out" is really what we all want to be doing any given Sunday - oblique Aug 3, 12:47
        
        Exactly -- nm - amoxy Aug 3, 12:47
        
        *gets pitchforks ready* -- nm - spamlet Aug 3, 12:44
      - (that's what she said) -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:43
- Other than franchise fees and profit sharing going to the parent company which then uses that money to support hate. Beyond that, yeah, nothing at all -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 12:40 4

    - Based on my past experience with CFA around the country, the look, feel, service, and experience are extremely consistent. - ty97 Aug 3, 12:47 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        On the other hand the franchisees can't go against Equal Employment Laws. - the liioulu witu extraneous u Aug 3, 12:53
Clearly hatred is bad, unless the people you hate also hate people... -- nm - Ender Aug 3, 12:39 17
- STOP! Hatin' is bad! - oblique Aug 3, 12:42
- [deleted] 15
  - What do you mean by "you guys"? -nm - Ann Vermney Aug 3, 12:48
  - Whuh? -- nm - Ender Aug 3, 12:41 13
    - Evidently we all hate gay people so we don't bat an eyelash when a story about anti-gay vandalism or bullying is posted... -- nm - Stephen Aug 3, 12:43 12
      - [deleted] 11
        
        Yes, your perception is unquestionably biased, which is why you often can't see the implications your words carry. - Stephen Aug 3, 12:55 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Seriously? You just replied to a post making the point that all hatred is bad by attacking the other "team" and you're going to lecture on teamism? -- nm - Ender Aug 3, 12:47 8
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        Um, the VERY FIRST POST IN THIS THREAD supported the vandalism. You're the one reading all this team stuff into this. - Ender Aug 3, 12:59 5
        
        No it didn't. -- nm - the liioulu witu extraneous u Aug 3, 13:05 3
        
        "So we feel bad for Chik-fil-A being vandalized...." - Stephen Aug 3, 13:08 2
        
        It was about feeling bad for CFA, not supporting the grafitiing. There is a difference. -- nm - the liioulu witu extraneous u Aug 3, 13:11

        /votes for 'glib' over 'shrill and confusing'. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 12:59
No we feel bad that someone on our side of the argument stooped to this level. -- nm - Jim Aug 3, 12:38
Well, if you worked in a Federal building that got vandalized in response to an unpopular opinion of Obama's... - Prof.Vermin Aug 3, 12:35 2
- [deleted]
- or rather, you owned a building where the feds leased space for a cafeteria that makes delicious chicken sandwiches... -- nm - znufrii, missing an arm, swimming with sharks Aug 3, 12:37
Other than the fact that they did a decent job artistically, I'm disappointed that people would stoop to that level. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 3, 12:35 6
- Exactly. Before I clicked, I had a very different mental image. - Spawn Aug 3, 12:36 4
  - It looks like the CFA ads. And if someone on the right wanted to make it look like it was done by the left it would be a smart thing to do. - the liioulu witu extraneous u Aug 3, 12:52 3
    - you've been thinking to hard about Spies v. Rebels. :) -- nm - znufrii, missing an arm, swimming with sharks Aug 3, 12:53 2
      - AMBUSH CHICKFILA! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 13:07
      - Nah, there's something about this that doesn't sit right. No matter who did it. -- nm - the liioulu witu extraneous u Aug 3, 12:55
- it was a fairly clever way to do it, I agree... - znufrii, missing an arm, swimming with sharks Aug 3, 12:36
Two wrongs... -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:34 14
- comprise most of Bacon's strategy in fantasy football -- nm - prayformojo Aug 3, 12:38 1
  - Please. That's only half of the first round for him. -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:40
- dont make a something-something -- nm - mud Aug 3, 12:36
- If I were Doctor Doom, they would have 1 day to evacuate all their restaurants before I leveled them. -- nm - Jovian Aug 3, 12:36 10
  - If you were Doctor Doom you would just level them. - Spawn Aug 3, 12:37 9
    - lol yes. but I would strive to be a nicer Doctor Doom -- nm - Jovian Aug 3, 12:38 8
      - Just like David is a meaner Reed Richards! -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:39 6
        
        Please. Reed Richards started a civil war in the Marvel Universe due to some math calcs. -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:44 5
        
        I could totally see you doing that. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:48 4
        
        I mean, you did create a blood feud that lasts to this very day. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:50
        
        More importantly, his hair is gray -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:50 2
        
        For all we know, so is yours. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:50 1
        
        Spamlet knows! -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:52
      - Physician's Assistant Doom? -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 12:39
I believe vandalizing a Chick-Fil-A is wrong, just like I think Chicago trying to block CFA is wrong. -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 12:34 12

  - But they've never once said they wouldn't serve or hire gay people. - spamlet Aug 3, 12:40 7
    - The franchisees do. - the liioulu witu extraneous u Aug 3, 12:45
    - Lets see if the serve the couples today. - Spawn Aug 3, 12:42 4
      - I doubt the couples will attempt to buy anything. - spamlet Aug 3, 12:43 3
        
        They will smell that delicious chicken and not be able to help themselves. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:47 2
        
        The gays do like the cock. Especially when brined, breaded and fried. -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 12:52 1
        
        Eat up Sodomizers! -- nm - oblique Aug 3, 12:53
    - [deleted]
  - Yup, this is the right approach. -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 12:40
- That was an extremely stupid move on Moreno's and Emanuel's part. - the liioulu witu extraneous u Aug 3, 12:35
- this -- nm - oblique Aug 3, 12:34
Yes, it is not the right thing to do -- nm - amoxy Aug 3, 12:34
It's graffitti a pretty minimal form of vandalism. It'll take some scrubbing or paint to take care of it. -- nm - the liioulu witu extraneous u Aug 3, 12:33
yes. - znufrii, missing an arm, swimming with sharks Aug 3, 12:33 6
- [deleted] 5
  - except we're talking about what happening in our country and culture right now - znufrii, missing an arm, swimming with sharks Aug 3, 12:39 4
    - What's happening in Uganda is supported by right wingers here. - the liioulu witu extraneous u Aug 3, 12:49
    - [deleted] 2
      - and if you want to take what I said out of context to make an absolutely irrelevant point just to have something to criticize me for, go nuts. -- nm - znufrii, missing an arm, swimming with sharks Aug 3, 12:43 1

Repaying bigotry with vandalism just means adopting the currency of hate. -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 12:33 2
- Rise above it, man -- nm - Cena Aug 3, 12:34 1
  - Perpetrates a hate crime -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 12:36
More like, vandalism isn't going to convince people that your side is correct. -- nm - Roger More Aug 3, 12:33

- me either, but i still think doing it is wrong and tactical mistake. -- nm - Andie Aug 3, 12:36 1
