waiting there for him, just the sick realization that he was wrong and can't fix it.

The staff was very nice, actually. No one got all religious. The food was good. I was with a big group and we ordered a bunch of the fattening "sides" and took bites. We also had the chicken which was really, really--I mean REALLY--tasty.

Sinful, I guess.

I feel bad that our money may have gone towards spreading hate.

I also found a disconnect with the "dwarf" name of the restaurant.

It's gotten to the point where any fast food place you go to, you're giving money to some company that sux whether it's anti-worker, anti-Obama, anti-whatever

At some point in your life you're kind of forced to unless you grow all your own food, spin your own yarn and thread to make your own clothes.
Sadly, no matter what you buy today it's funneling money into some sleeze's pocket

My wife and I do our best to make choices that are mindful of labor unions, human rights, LGBT equality, etc. In some cases the egregious violations of these principles in which we believe are easy to spot and even easier to avoid. Not eating at Chick fil A, Cracker Barrel, Papa Johns and Dominos is an easy choice.

There bad too? It is getting too much. Nothing left. I have tried to stop giving money to places that are bad. I hope you made a mistake about Cracker Barrell.

I've known about Cracker Barrel's racist and homophobic policies for years and personally knew of one gay man who was fired for being gay, which they wrote in very ugly terms on his termination notice. I also knew of the longstanding investigation of and lawsuit filed against their racist policies. Maybe you can pick up some Duck Dynasty trinkets while you're there. They love those.

7. Cracker Barrel
It's almost a laughable stereotype that Cracker Barrel would be racist and anti-gay because of its southern roots, but of course, there's nothing funny about a company that doesn't treat its employees equally.

In 1991, 11 employees were fired for not displaying "normal heterosexual values," as was prescribed by an intra-company memo. Although founder Dan Evins later called this policy a "mistake," the attitude remains.

Since 2008, Cracker Barrel has jumped from 15 to 35 on the HRC scale, but that’s not much. It also has yet to include same-sex couples in its benefits coverage and doesn’t have a non-discrimination policy that protects "gender identity and/or expression," according to HRC.

It should also be noted that in 2004, the US Justice Department, after a long investigation, found that the chain restaurant had segregated customers, seated and served white customers before black customers, and allowed for white servers to refuse to wait on black customers.

Of course this list is just a handful of companies who have knowingly, and without care, discriminated against gays. But if you truly care about where your dollars are going, you can get the complete rundown of just how gay-friendly a company is or isn't by checking out the Human Rights Campaign’s Buyers Guide.

Sorry you didn't like the answer.

Even if the "Duck Dynasty" reference was going a bit far, perhaps.

Cracker Barrel carries Duck Dynasty souvenirs in its restaurants. When the uproar over the Robertson's anti-gay rants became public, CB removed the items from its restaurants only to put them back on the shelves the very next day. It was a well-publicized stunt.

Mainly I thought it was funny how the other poster took such offense.

2 guys I went to school with worked at 2 different CFAs. One went into management and was with them for quite awhile before moving to management in the Burger King chain. I dont think there was a "no gays" unspoken policy. Matter of fact, I dont think you could own a CFA without actually working there for some time either. All franchises should be that way, IMO

Terrible food.

Say what you want.

And good bye/good riddance to him.

chik fil a is DISGUSTING

but I love their boneless chicken pieces. I have to hold myself back from eating too many.

Some grocery stores have 'restaurant-style' chicken patties in their frozen aisle. Very similar in taste.
McDonald's southern-style chicken sandwich. If the golden arches aren't in your 'no business' category yet, it tastes remarkably similar.

try this recipe.

http://www.topsecretrecipes.com/Chick-fil-A-Chicken-Sandwich-Copycat-Recipe.html

What my wife and I have done differently is use a buttermilk batter instead of plain milk, and marinated the chicken in dill pickle juice 6 hours before cooking.

But then, my mother (born and bred Scandahoovian) taught me to brine my poultry for at least three hours in a apple cider vinegar, citrus, and salt bath before preparing it to "kill off any salmonella" when I was eight, so marinating raw chicken in pickle juice was not a big stretch to begin with. Chickens also tended to be older when sold (you had a choice of the bigger but stringer plain chicken or the smaller, more tender and therefore more expensive young chicken), so brining also tenderized the poultry.
My southern in-laws swear my pan fried chicken is just like Chik-fil-A's, only better. Vlasic pickle "juice" seems to give the best results, and the Mt. Olive brand with Splenda works for my diabetic husband's fried chicken fix, but one of these days, I'm going to experiment with my own pickle recipes and see if I can't come up with a spicier pickle for the chicken.

Haele

becareful when you spit in the wind as it falls back on you.

What did he do so wrong that you have such hate? I don't eat at fast food places, so if it was his food I wouldn't know.

I know his stores were closed on Sunday (as he viewed that as family time)

I know he only believed in the "traditional" family, but he was 93.



Please provide me a link so I can understand your hate

thanks

what you wrote

Post 1. You hate this guy, glad he is dead.
post 2. You have no respect for haters

others brought on by people of his ilk for mindless reasons!

How old are we?

Do you think I lived a life of not feeling hate from others? I am far from being privileged. I don't even have the white privilege that gets discussed on this board.


You know nothing about me. Hate is something that is learned and I am sorry for your anger and hate. Don't put it on me because my "post" are low in numbers.

you have access to 'white privilege". You're only kidding yourself. If you're so under privileged, you better get crackin.......

because I am a sucker for love stories

I won't grave dance but don't act like he was some kind of great guy

Temperature there just went up a couple of degrees.

These are the days I wish I did believe it the silliness of heaven, hell, and a nanny god meting out sentences on Judgement Day.

even the salads are good. And that's the most I can say for this man.

by far. I just don't hate the guy or the restaurant as much as I should I guess.

As long as he made a cheap chicken sandwich.

sickening

nor fast food restaurants. Meh.

their chicken salad sandwich made with that berry wheat bread followed with a vanilla shake. But haven't been back since that gay-bashing episode.

stored-up rewards in heaven.

i have been there about 5 times and was always treated very nicely. I was consulting with them on their POS system. If i hadn't changed jobs i probably would have cabled all their restaurants.

They are wrong about their stance on gay rights but as opposed to some other organizations I don't think they are mean people. They are just very religious.

... are you referring to the family, the company, employees, what? Because I can assure you the family has given millions to persecute LGBTs. I'm sorry, but that's way beyond "mean" and religion is no excuse for that kind of bigotry.
