Chik-fil-A caves to LGBT lobby. Chik-fil-A just announced they will no longer donate to charities like the Salvation Army which refuse to support gay marriage. Another cowardly CEO takes his company down the primrose path of political correctness.

Looks like Popeye's came out with a good chicken sandwich alternative at just the right time. I'd stay away from the long lines though.
Instead of going out of my way to visit Chik-fil-A it will be just another fast food joint.
Chik Fil-a makes a good chicken sandwich, but there's an In n Out right next door to our local chicken shop, I'll just go there. I'm not a religious person, but it doesn't bother me at all that In n Out prints a tiny reference to various Bible verses on the bottom of their cups, and I don't think the family would cave if the left started harassing them.
The problem seems to be, from what I can gather, that when "the family" dies or decides they want to semi-retire and start enjoying the money, they hire a CEO straight out of some brainwashing manufactory like Harvard or Yale, who promptly begins abandoning all the principles that "the family" used to build the business in the first place.
The founder of Chik-fil-A is deceased. His sons are still alive but they're probably off in the Bahamas rebuilding their hurricane-damaged chateaus, leaving the company their father built with rock solid principles floundering in the hands of a professional CEO.
Another reason I like In n Out so much. It's still firmly in the hands of the family that started it, way back when I was a small child. Even though they could easily expand all over the country, they stay committed to their principles, and will only open a location if they can be assured they have reliable suppliers close enough that they never have to freeze their burgers, or use frozen french fries. If they can't do it fresh, they won't do it.
I wish there was one of those around here. The fast food around here is abysmal. You buy a burger and it looks like someone threw it together from six feet away. If you get a burger where the burger is less than half outside the bun, you consider yourself lucky. A couple weeks ago I walked into a Burger King, ordered a Whopper, and before I even got my change the damn thing was plunked down on the counter ready for me to eat. WTF? When was that thing made, who was it made for, and how long has it been sitting around waiting for a new customer to order a Whopper? I should have asked for my money back but I sat down and tried to eat it... it tasted like it had been made the day before. Nobody seems to give a shit anymore. I keep rooting for robots to take over the making of fast food. It's got to be better than having high school dropouts making it.
Oh, and the last time I ordered a MacDonald's fish sandwich, they completely missed the sandwich with the tartar sauce. I had to scrape the sauce off the cardboard holder to get any on my sandwich. Like I said, it's like they throw the ingredients at the box from six feet away.
And still it’s not enough for the woke rage mob.
Apparently there's quite a backlash among Chik-fil-A customers:

I was looking forward to eating my first Chik-fil-A sandwich now that we finally have one in Grand Rapids. Now I'm good never eating one.
Rename it "Dick's Filet"
The diss of the Salvation Army is what irritates me the most. There is no charitable organization on the planet that operates with lower overhead than the Salvation Army. While big bureaucratic beggers like the United Fund pay their CEOs huge salaries, the head of the Salvation Army barely earns enough to be called middle class. While the head of the UF and similar big-name charities are hob-nobbing with the elite on Martha's Vineyard and in the Hamptons, the head of the Salvation Army is out ringing a bell and praising God.
No, I am not a member of the Salvation Army. I just see the genuine good they do, and recognize the genuinely good people who are members.
Ditto. There was no reason to abandon the Salvation Army.
Get woke, go broke.
