[Funny] BAN EVERY CHICKEN SANDWICH

And then Brawno can buy the FDA and the FTC... and hilarity (and/or Idiocracy) can result.
I do eat them for fat practice.
On a related note Chick-fil-a consistently has the most friendly, polite staff and quality service of any fast food restaurant. I'm amazed at how their employees don't have the typical "I'm dead inside, and fuck off" look that makes me long for the day they're replaced by a machine. Plus I can order through the drive through and not have my order fucked up. Who'd a thought being closed on Sunday would make that big a deal.
OOH oooh oooh! Me.
When I started working all businesses in Texas had to be closed at least one day a week. It is so nice for a minimum wage worker to count on one paticular day a week off.

KFC SNACKAAAAA
The staff even seems to be able to handle heckling from the drive thru:
The guy who made and posted the video has since been fired. Apparently, his employer did not appreciate one of its corporate officers drawing them into this issue.
Here is his follow up statement:
He had a good message, and had he just ordered his free water, that would have been the end. But he decided to make a scene on camera, vented his frustrations on entirely the wrong person, and I'm the end made someone who has nothing to do with the corporations policy feel terrible.
At least he apologized, and got that, good for him.
He got fired, of course he apologized. He acted like a complete self-righteous asshole who harassed and personally insulted a (presumably) minimum wage employee just trying to do her job and serve him despite the fact that he's not even bothering to have paid for anything. On top of that he was an executive at a company so he certainly should have known better, but hey he's a "nice guy" really.
Kudos to her, though. She handled his bullshit like a champ.
I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for that jackass.
You never fuck with anyone that handles your food.
...at least not until they've handed you your food...
Then don't try to be a steady customer.

Soliloquy
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard that all this started when the Chick-Fil-A owners answered a question by reporters about whether they support the traditional definition of a family or whatnot.
They answered in the affirmative. They didn't say anything specifically about gay marriage, or go on any rants, or anything like that. They just said that this was their view, and everyone pro-LGBT starts rallying in against them (to the extent of the Chicago Mayor denying them the right to open more stores in the city due to their stated views, which is blatantly illegal).
In response to that, all the hateful anti-LGBT people started rallying in their favor.
Meanwhile all Chick-fil-a did was answer a reporter's question and leave it like that.
So if you want to not go to Chick-Fil-A for that, that's within your rights. But unless I'm missing something, Chick-Fil-A hadn't exactly been actively promoting hatred, or even been a symbol of it until everyone reacted to a simple answer to a question during an interview.

Here's my basic take on it
1) Chick Fil A is a franchise. Therefore the views of the individual franchisee are what matter. There was a franchisee recently who donated a ton of sandwiches to an LGBT parade.
2) What Micheal Jackson, Phil Spector, Roman Polanski, Billy Bob Thornton, OJ Simpson, Garry Glitter, Ty Cobb, or Micheal Vicks did were considerably worse than what's been done here, and I have a hard time believing that anyone has stopped listening to MJ music or watching movies with RP or BBT in them, or completely stopped watching professional sports. Do you still listen to Let it Be? Because the royalties for that pay for a murderers defence lawyer. And I watched the Naked Gun recently, and you know what, I laughed.
Or, how about all the companies that refuse to honor domestic partners in their health insurance policies? That's basically the same thing, except instead of just saying something they are actually hurting people.
3) I like their sandwiches.
Edit: More fun people to look into:
Mark Wahlberg - Committed a hate crime, almost killed someone.
Principle from Ferris Buellers day off (Jeffrey Jones) - bad stuff with kids (look it up)

I've never even thought about that. That is something worth protesting. Heck, I even know people who are against gay marriage that would get behind a protest against that.[DOUBLEPOST=1344366165][/DOUBLEPOST]
Case in point: Have you eaten at Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, or KFC recently? Then you've supported candidates that are against gay marriage.
I'm sure that other companies everyone uses all the time are the exact same way.
Again, none of this is news. I've avoided chik fil-a for years because they directly funded several "defense of family values" organizations that I didn't agree with. I didn't like the idea of my dollars going to those groups, so I got my chicken sandwiches somewhere else.
It seems only recent that it's come into the spotlight.

OK, what did Billy Bob and Ty Cobb do?
Ty Cobb went into the stands and attacked a guy with only one hand.

Also, there are a lot of claims that he was a racist.
