pam Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 It's a privately own company and therefore have the right to donate to whom ever they would like to. I would probably have a hard time if a company listed on the stock exchange who represented many stock holders did such a thing without stock holders consent. Since they are not..I don't have a problem. Quote
NeuroTypical Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 We LOVE chick-fil-a. Their kid meal toys are the only toys that aren't pop-culture insults to my children's intellect. Their constant fundraising and other community support stuff is great to watch. They've helped our homeschool co-op. Their food is good. Wherever they are, you'll see them busy, and the fast food joint next to them not so busy. Time to go there every day for a year! Quote
Saintmichaeldefendthem1 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Loudmouth Mormon, I think your reaction will be typical among the pro family community. In fact, as soon as I can get to one, I'm going to support Chic-Fil-A with my patronage as well. It's time we stood up to the bullies and the self appointed political correctness police. Quote
rubondfan2 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 While I don't personally eat at Chic-Fil-A, in our area they are closed on Sunday's and I assume that is a company-wide policy... which for us Latter-Day Saints who are concerned about honoring the sabbath day, is a pretty cool thing.

sixpacktr Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Unfortunately, there is no Chik-Fil-A in Buffalo, but I gave many weeks of salary to them when we lived in Atlanta! In fact, on our trip to Kirtland over the Christmas holiday when one of my daughters was home, we planned the day around breakfast at Chik-Fil-A in Erie PA and on the way home stopped at Steak and Shake for dinner! But we did buy a bunch of breakfast sandwiches to freeze so that we can enjoy at another time. And Erie is only 90 mins away, so definitely close enough to support when we pass thru. Quote

If we got along better, I'd invite myself up to stay so I could take my family to Niagara! Quote

Guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 We love Chik-Fil-A... BEST. CUSTOMER. SERVICE. EVER!They got Kids Tuesdays where they got kids activities from 5:00PM-7:00PM - last Tuesday they had a magician perform magic tricks. And they always have free build your own sundae on Kids Tuesdays too. And they're closed on Sundays.And they usually have lots of relatively healthy choices. And yes, the kids meal toys are good. We got a slew of different Veggie Tales CDs when they were giving them out with the kid meals. I love those CDs. So, yeah, Chik-Fil-A is the place to go!My 2 favorites from the CDs:1.) CrazyA horse and a flea and 3 blind mice, went out skating on the ice.The horse slipped and fell on the flea."Oops", said the Flea, "there's a horse on me"Boom-boom isn't it great to be craaa-zy.Giddy and foolish the whole day throughBoom-boom isn't it great to be craaa-zy.Way down south where bananas growA flea stepped on an elephant's toeThe elephant cried with tears in his eyes,"Why don't you pick on someone your size!"2.) DanielOh, no, what we gonna doThe king likes Daniel more than me and youOh, no, what we gonna doWe've gotta get him outa hereWe could throw him in the dungeonWe could let him rot in jailWe could drag him to the oceanHave him eaten by a whaleWe could throw him in the TigrisLet him float awhileThen we'll all sit back and watch him meetA hungry crocodileWe could put him on a camel's backAnd send him off to UrWith a cowboy hat without a brimA boot without a spurWe could give him jelly doughnutsTake them all awayOr we could fill his ears with cheese ballsAnd his nostrils with sorbetWe could use him as a footstoolOr a table to play Scrabble onThen tie him up and beat him upAnd throw him out of Babylon Quote
