Is it wrong to be gently mocking my NYC friends who are all rushing to declare their boycott of Taco Bell, Wendy's and Pizza Hut

Posted by znufrii, silly old man (aka znufrii) Jun 3 '20, 12:52

because the CEO of a franchisee in Texas donated $400k to Trump's reelection?

Responses:

To be clear (and this speaks to Spawn's post below, as well) It's not the CEO of Wendy's, but a franchisee? -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 13:24 1
- Yes -- nm - spamlet Jun 3, 13:57
I remember getting letters in with my paychecks from our Pizza Hut franchisee that we shouldn’t vote for Obama. -- nm* - Qale Jun 3, 13:12 1
- I thought that was Papa Johns -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 13:20
Why would you mock them? - Krusty Jun 3, 13:02 4
- I don't have an issue with them boycotting, I just think it's silly to announce it on facebook - znufrii, silly old man Jun 3, 13:11 3
  - *shrug* one person boycott means nothing, many people boycotting does not. not giving your money to companies with policies/views you don't support - Andie Jun 3, 14:27
  - The next time they are in Texas they’ll show them! -- nm - spamlet Jun 3, 13:16 1
    - He owns stores in many states -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 13:19
I've never set foot in a chik fil a... fyi I do believe KFC is part of the same franchise corp??? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 13:00 12
- Also, the CFA thing for me is that the money goes directly to the owners b/c it is a privately owned company. - ty97 Jun 3, 13:05 3
  - Except CFA locations are run by independent owner/operators - znufrii, silly old man Jun 3, 13:09 2
    - owner/ops are choosen carefully by the corporation as much for their spiritual and political values as they are for financial and management exp - zeitgeist Jun 3, 13:24
    - That's still $$$ directly to the owners -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 13:15
- If it's the YUM CEO, they own KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, The Habit Burger Grill, and WingStreet -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 13:03 7
  - It's not. It's MUY! Brands. -- nm - Mrs. William Henry Harrison Jun 3, 13:05 6
    - Whoops, forgot to turn off the autonick. :) -- nm - Ba'rona Beast Jun 3, 13:14
    - Can you please explain? I was so confused by MUY. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 13:11 4
      - Yum! Brands the the corporate owner of the restaurant chains. Muy! Brands is the franchisee who owns and operates the restaurants in question. - znufrii, silly old man Jun 3, 13:13 2
        
        THANK YOU both. I was so confused. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 13:14 1
        
        You're not the only one. Many people are conflating the two. -- nm - Ba'rona Beast Jun 3, 13:15
      - It's the name of the company he runs that owns hundreds of fast food franchises. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 13:13
you will tear my double stacked taco from my cold dead hands. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 12:58
Link them -- (link) - ty97 Jun 3, 12:56
No? We already dropped them. But had not declared it to anyone but ST right now. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:54 4
- (also, dude owns hundreds of locations) -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:57 3
  - in texas. look, here's the thing. I can hate you because of one of your renters is a trump supporter, but I don't because you need to make money, - amanda Jun 3, 12:59 2
    - Not just in Texas. NY, PA, NM and other states -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 13:12 1
      - so I won't go to his restaurants. I will still go to taco bell. as often as possible. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 13:29
not at all. in fact, you can probably remove the "gently" part and still be ok. -- nm - Marty Byrde Jun 3, 12:53
