Do your research. That’s not why they’re closed on Sunday. My kid worked there and a part of the orientation they say It’s just so employees can have a set time to spend with their families, but only if they wish. There are employees there of different religions. Chick-fil-A doesn’t have any beliefs. It’s a company.

I'm an old gay who still doesn't believe the "we don't discriminate since 2019" hype. I choose not to eat there. I don't judge those who do. I just won't.

Is it really a gen z favorite? Maybe if you live in the middle of nowhere and it is the only restaurant around for miles…

You’re against people getting a weekend day off?

What about all of the museums and restaurants that are closed on Mondays? Is it only those that are closed on Sunday that are pushing their religion on you? Or you are creating an issue in your mind that isn’t there.

PP from above- I can remember a time when most stores were closed Sundays.
I have also lived in Europe or almost everything was closed for a half day on Sat and Sundays. I thought it was marvelous.

Chick fil a is poison. Why do people eat this stuff or worse feed it to their kids. It doesn’t even taste that good.

We don’t ever eat any other fast food except the occasional CFA. For years, I got the grilled chicken sandwich, attempting to be a little bit healthy, and I thought it was gross, couldn’t understand what the hype was about. Then I ordered the real fried chicken sandwich one time, and thought wow, this is delicious. Tried a wrap recently—gross. But that fried sandwich is quite tasty. Once in a while.

I’m vegetarian and an activist so I have two reasons not to eat at CF. Subway and Taco Bell are good fast food alternatives.

You are really overestimating how much people care for red herring social issues. This chatGPT response to a prompt reads like it was generated by someone who lives in an echo chamber.

God damn you now I want a peppermint milkshake and can’t get one for at least a month!!

The food is. terrible. I do not get the appeal.

The survey doesn't say Chik-Fil-A is the most popular, fwiw. That's not what it's counting.

It says that users were most satisfied. That could mean only 10% of the surveyed population actually went there, but the ones that did, really liked it.

I don’t boycott them but never eat there because the food makes me sick to my stomach (ditto my kids - could we be allergic to something in it?). We eat other fast food so I’m not being a snob.
