If you choose to sit at the closest booth next to the play area at Chick-Fil-A...

The door is insanely heavy for kids. Kids without disabilities often can’t open it. It’s heavy for safety reasons; they don’t want to make it too easy to open, so, no button.


There should be a button for parents with disabilities.

The question isn't "would you help a kid with the door"; the question is, if you choose to sit near the door/end up sitting next to the door, SHOULD you/are you obligated to open the door?

The answer of course being, NOPE, parents are responsible for their own kids at all times.

I would not open the door while in the middle of eating my meal. If for some reason I lingered in a CFA, and I happened to notice a child struggling with the door I would help.

Discuss amongst yourselves, I’m curious to know if I’m the only one who thinks this way. Family tonight just sat there watching kids struggle to open the door it was really bugging me.


No
This is your job as parent. Why the hell should the rest of us act as your butler?

I would open the door with a napkin. No big deal.

Open the door to get in or out? In, sure, out, no way. I'm not going to responsible for letting some random kids run around the restaurant.

Not unless their parent is right there also coming out. I don't understand the people who would let a small child out of an enclosed area without a parent.

+1. Not really a child-friendly environment, IMO. I would not expose my child to that.


Of all the fast food places it’s literally the most child friendly.

These people are so ignorant. Like they are preaching over a loud speaker to damn all the gays to hell or something. The children are fine and have no clue.

DP I understand why you wouldn't eat there but, it really doesn't answer the question and therefore, is really unnecessary.


Well I don’t understand. They are NOT an openly anti gay company. The owner and founder is not with the times, and has in the past personally aligned with an organization that doesn’t support gay rights. But the franchises are owned and run by individuals. Who do not pass an antigay litmus test. So it is patently ridiculous especially if you like chicken to punish all of these small business owners who actually run pristine and polite operations for the personal views of the founder. Did you notice when after the murderous rampage at the gay nightclub in Florida, that the next day it was a franchise owner who went in on a Sunday and made up a bunch of meals and delivered them in solidarity with and for the people standing in line to give blood? Guess not.

No I wouldn’t. Why would I interrupt my meal for someone else’s kid? They clearly didn’t drive themselves there so the parents can help.

LOL, no. Although I wouldn't sit next to the play place if there was another place to sit.

Chick-Fil-A is disgusting on so many levels and I am not just talking about the food. I would not go there for $1,000,000!


Bull! You'd go for $10.00.

No, parents can take care of their own kids. How is this even a question? Holy moly.

You lost the moral high ground once you selected that establishment.
