Chick-fil-a discontinuing coleslaw.......if that don't beat all....It just ain't right!

I haven't eaten fast food for a very long time, but I think all the hate directed towards CFA would be better focused at McDonalds.  They haven't sold anything that resembles food for decades.

struck a nerve i see, @doublegger.

still though. not a mistake, alas.
walmart family controls more than 50%.

it's thereby  "family owned", since they control it. ...unless there is some magic definition that no one else in the business world uses.

Their cole-slaw:  They taste like fetid grass clipping from a rugby field combined with soiled and muddied grass clippings surrounding the port-o-lets at an Insane Clown Posse concert composted with refuge from a fish processing plant in Bangladesh and seasoned with the tears from business major graduates flipping burgers for $7.50/hr and the swill from South Carolina pig farms.  Delicately served in a polystyrene cup by happy employees that often get 1/2 off their fast food subsistence (although they need to clock out before they can eat it and the food cost is 20%).

Just the thought of a double cheeseburger gets me hard.

Nola is just butthurt because one of the executive officers said he supported traditional marriage. He didn't say... 

Well won't hire gays
We hate fays
We loathe gsys
We're better than gays
We don't do business with gays

The lgbtsfabdd. 

Don't like their chicken or politics.. Dont fu&king eat there. It simple. 

nolaegghead

@henapple - slightly true.  But I see threads on them all the time and they're fast "food" joints and this is supposed to be a BBQ forum.  So I troll.  BTW their food tastes like fast food dredged in vomit.

In January 2011, the media reported that Chick-fil-A was co-sponsoring a marriage conference with the Pennsylvania Family Institute (PFI), an organization that has opposed same-sex marriage legislation.[34] Chick-fil-A clarified that "one of our independent Restaurant Operators in Pennsylvania was asked to provide sandwiches to two Art of Marriage video seminars."[35] The WinShape Foundation, a charitable organization founded by Truett and his wife, also stated it would not allow same-sex couples to participate in its marriage retreats.[36]

Chick-fil-A has donated over $5 million, via WinShape, to groups that oppose same-sex marriage. Of this, more than $3 million was donated primarily to Christian organizations whose agendas included positions that oppose same-sex marriage,[37] with the money donated between 2003 and 2009.[38] A total of $1.9 million was donated in 2010 to groups such as the Marriage & Family Foundation, Exodus International and the Family Research Council (FRC).[39] That year, the FRC, which received $1,000[38] was listed as an anti-gay[40] hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[41][42][43] WinShape has also contributed to Christian groups including Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Exodus International, the latter noted for supporting ex-gay conversion therapy.[39] In response, students at several colleges and universities worked to ban or remove the company's restaurants from their campuses. On January 28, 2013, Shane L. Windmeyer, leader of Campus Pride, suspended their campaign.[44][45][46]

In June and July 2012, Chick-fil-A Chief operating officer Dan T. Cathy made several public statements about same-sex marriage, saying that those who "have the audacity to define what marriage is about" were "inviting God's judgment on our nation".[47] Several prominent politicians expressed disapproval.[48] Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, and Chicago Alderman Proco "Joe" Moreno said they hoped to block franchise expansion into their areas.[49][50] The proposed bans drew criticism from liberal pundits, legal experts, and the American Civil Liberties Union.[51] The Jim Henson Company, which had a Pajanimals kids' meal toy licensing arrangement with Chick-fil-A, said it would cease its business relationship, and donate the payment to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.[52] Chick-fil-A stopped distributing the toys, citing unrelated safety concerns that had arisen prior to the controversy.[53] Chick-fil-A released a statement on July 31, 2012 saying, "We are a restaurant company focused on food, service and hospitality; our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena."[54]

So they believe in something and support that cause. They put their profit where their mouth is. They aren't hateful about it. They don't put others down. They are strong enough to go against the PC crap we have in this country.

Yet, others that disagree are ugly and disparaging. Why?

If you disagree, move on. Quit bashing them because they don't conform to YOUR beliefs. 

henapple

So what..? You don't like their food or views. Get over it. It's (at least for now) a free country. Don't eat there... Be like the Christian people that won't shop at Target. Don't be a snowflake. 

NCSmoky

All progs are snowflakes. Absolute worst for telling others what is right and wrong and their thinking is the correct way. Most conservative / libertarian minded  people don't give a rats ass what people do until you start shoving your agenda down their throats.

They supported hate groups.  I'm exercising my right to free speech.  They could just sell their vomit-flavored swill without meddling in politics and religion.  They opened the doors, someone else put this thread on a bbq site based on a rumor.  The stars are aligned to troll this.  I'm not going anywhere.  In fact, I find this entertaining, and the more you hate it, the more I will do it.

BTW - did you even read anything I posted?  Hate groups?  "They aren't hateful about it" you said.  I think, umm, supporting hate groups is the very opposite of what you said.

I'm over it.  Never was under it.  I'm just having fun!  I don't harbor any hate towards anyone.  They have the right to run their company, I don't care.  I am just working the entertainment value.  You guys are getting mad, not me.

So you hate the people you say hate? Smh.

It's a well run outfit but it's not the best fast food chicken around. That title belongs to Popeye's. That should be right up your alley @nolaegghead

@northGAcock placed this thread in "Off Topic" category, not the eggheadforum.  But even if he didn't do that, cole slaw is very much BBQ related.  So your argument doesn't apply in this case... Just like it didn't apply in the thread I started on cold smoked cheese.  I understand you were trying to make "a funny" though, so it's all good.    Love ya still though brother.    LOL

@northGAcock , thx for sharing the recipe!  I will be giving it a go soon.

This bothers me about as much as it would bother me if MuckyDs would forever 86 their meat glue slurry they call the McRib. Oh the humanity.

I don't eat at Chick-fil-A much cuz the drive thru line is always Crazy FULL! They have to run tandem drive thru lanes with employees working outside to take and shuttle the orders its so damn busy. And this stores have been there for years. Must be doing something right.

I like McDonalds for breakfast too...or Taco Cabana.
