As I've written before in another post, I <3 Chick-fil-A! There are so many reasons and you can refer back to that post if you'd like here .So recently I've seen lots of smack talk about my beloved CFA on the internet. And as Michael Scott (The Office) said something to the effect of if it's on the internet, it must be true. FALSE.
Last week apparanently there was an incident at a CFA in Cali where an associate put some derogatory names on a receipt for 2 Asian boys. CFA being the stand up establishment that they are, stepped forward and took responsiblity for the incident on behalf of their yahoo employee who did it, and apologized. I saw this on facebook. Then in the comments under their status, there was all sorts of things going on, lots of support for CFA, and then people bringing up the anti-gay thing again, people saying that CFA forces their "friend" to go to Bible study on Sundays. CRAZINESS!
So on that note is where I come in....I see it as a version of the telephone game, remember you used to play when you were 10? 1 person started with a sentence and then you whispered it down the row and by the time you got to the 10th person, it wasn't what it started as. Same here. Chick-fil-A does not make anyone go to Bible study. Yes, they are closed on Sunday so that their employees can spend time with their families and relax, and yes, if the employee chooses, they can go to church.
The anti-gay thing....I don't know where people are getting their information from when it comes to this or where they are getting numbers as far as how much money is donated by Chick-fil-A but CFA is a PRIVATELY owned company. Truett Cathy built his company on Biblical principles and faith and look where it's gotten him...somewhere pretty great, I'd say! Since they are PRIVATELY owned, they don't need to answer to stockholders or the public in general when in comes to what they do with their money.
On the donating note, our local CFA donated and supported the Buddy Walk which raises money for Down Syndrome Awareness and Support for families which is something that is close to my heart. This makes me want to go to CFA even more so to know that they are helping out our communities!
I will continue to go to Chick-fil-A. They have the best service, best food, and are a company that cares about their employees and the communities they servce. I still, and always will, love Chick-fil-A!
And if you are still going to not go to CFA because of this, that, or the other thing...enjoy your McDonald's ;)
