Chick-fil-A has to abide by federal laws granting non-discrimination.

Company policy cannot apply hideous personal values to their companies policies. Chick-fil-A is not a church. It has no non-profit status. Noted below is a very healthy profit margin for the fast food chain.


...Chick-fil-A, (click title to entry - thank you) whose founder distinguished the fast-food chain by closing on Sunday out of religious piety, continues to mix theology with business and finds itself on the front lines of the nation’s culture wars after its president, Dan Cathy, confirmed his opposition to gay marriage in June 2012.

The company cannot abuse customers either. If there is a story to tell about abusive practices of customers by the stores, then "Submit Your Story Today" (click here)


If every corporation in the nation decided the only people worthy of employment were purple people eaters, then the rest of us would be out of luck. That principle applies here. If Corporate America can be dominated in their practices as dictated by some CEO or demented Board Member or owner, the country would suffer for absolutely no reason except discrimination, bias and/or hatred. They can't do it.


I do believe the owner of Chick-fil-A has a sincere public relations crisis and needs to work on how she gets along with people. If she can't move past her own discriminatory priorities to promote her company than she needs to sell her shares and move on. If not she is in for one of the worst PR nightmares a corporation ever faced. Americans aren't putting up with hatred these days. She has problem, but, it is her problem, no one else's. If she wants to be a political figure she can run for office, otherwise, move out of the market place. There are plenty of small business owners across the USA that would be more than happy if Chick-fil-A closed up shop and left their neighborhoods. Chick-fil-A does not have the corner on fast food chicken. A loss of a Wall Street icon is the profit of the local economy and its small businesses.


Bye, bye Chick-fil-A. People have the right not to purchase food from kitchens run by those that hate others as a corporate symbol demanding the government to adhere to some faux agenda. It's nonsense. The President of Chick-fil-A has to make at least an apology. I am sure there are lawsuits on the way from those working within the company wondering why they were passed over for promotions. I wish her a lot of luck.
