Just want to say that I lunched at a Chick-Fil-A today.
The place was so Tea Party that I wanted to pour milk and sugar all over the floor. I'd be surprised if any of the clientele weren't fundamentalist Christians. The manager, dressed like a Mormon missionary, visited from table to table asking us what plans we had for the afternoon, how far we had to travel for Thanksgiving, etc. I expected him to ask if I had accepted Jesus as my personal savior.
The oriental chicken salad was very good, but for about $1.00 more I could have had unlimited soup and salad at Applebee's, served on china, not styrofoam, and with unlimited beverage refills. No senior discount was offered. I won't be back.

Sure, it's just a fast food chain. And, OK, it's (previous?) stance on same-sex anything was only a few notches a way from full troglodyte. But those chicken fillet sandwiches, man. Fucking voodoo action mixed with cocaine and unicorn tears.
If they were bought out by IN-N-OUT and opened up a combo-location in PDX, I'd savour-gasm myself into an early coronary.

And for this pathetic reason you started an entire Hell thread?

Having never been to the United States, I've never had the opportunity to see or visit a Chick-Fil-A. How am I supposed to pronounce the name? Chick-Fill-Uh or Chick-Fill-Ay or something else?

Good question!
But having to endure a poor restaurant is a petty small problem, is it not?

I make it a personal policy to never dine at fast food outlets. In fact I avoid all chain restaurants, unless the chain is numbered in the low single digits. There are plenty of small businesses that need my support, and the food is =definitely= better.

You must have better Chick-Fil-As in your area than mine. I tried a sandwich here once and I was definitely unimpressed.

Well what the fuck is he thinking? Being nice to folk and all. What I can't understand is what you think this kind of niceness, cloying though it is, has to do with being Mormon, or Tea Party, or fundamentalist Christian, or any combination of the three. I find myself wondering if your jimmies always get this rustled when someone goes out of their way to be nice to you, or if it only happens when you think that person is of a different political persuasion than you are.

It's a pathetic OP, the sort of petulant whinge more suited to a spoilt child than a grown man. I can't believe you'd actually start a Hell thread to complain that you didn't get unlimited soup and salad and that what you did get (which you admit was actually quite nice and that the manager was attentive) was served, O horror, not on china plates. Such terrible injustice!
Actually, it isn't a Hell thread, it's a Heck thread. Though when I think of the people in refugee camps who'd give a great deal, if they had it, to be able to walk into a restaurant and order a meal, and who wouldn't give a monkey's whether it was served on bone china or a piece of linoleum, it does make me angry that you think this kind of self-indulgent crap is worthy of an entire Hell thread.

Why, oh why won't people think of the refugee camps?!? The refugee camps!!!
Because Miss Amanda couldn't possibly be using haughty snark about the quality of fast food to vent about something symbolically significant - such as a gay person setting foot in an establishment quasi-famous for homophobic agenda after the homophobic owner dies. Because that would be too gay.

On one hand, Chick-Fil-A (and honestly, what kind of name is that for a restaurant chain? It sounds like a slice of genetic code) is a place where, God willing, I'll never have to see, let alone step foot inside.
On the other, I'm sure their 'meals' provide cheap protein/corn syrup/hormones/anti-biotics to their target clientele at an acceptable cost (to their health, life expectancy and wallet).
All in all, it sounds perfectly ghastly, but what the hell did you expect? Of course, back here in Blessed Albion we have the food of the gods.

Pah! You don't want to worship anything that subsists on a Gregg's cheese slice. OTOH, any afterlife serving this would be worth entering in upon.

What is the point of having a breaded piece of chicken (or fish, for that matter) then put into more bread? It makes the humble chip butty look positively healthy.

Underneath the golden arches the fi*et-o-f*sh gives you less fish than the children's f*shfinger happy meal - just saying...<tangent over>

Miss Amandas feelings are Miss Amandas feelings. You can argue that your feelings are not the same. Arguing that her feelings are not right is - well . . . an interesting exercise in something or another.
Like many other aspects of life Chick-Fil-A is a conglomeration of good and bad. Bad in that they are openly condemning of homosexuality. That is sad and - to my mind - a misunderstanding of what God wants from us. For instance, I am pretty sure that God did not appear to the owners as a flaming bush and say "Go forth and judge homosexuality." Could be wrong. You never know.
Does Miss Amanda deserve crapola for posting about her experience and feelings? It was in Hell and the Ship is the Ship. I hope everyone who condemned her feels better about themselves now.
Chick-Fil-A is also a generous employer with good benefits.
We are all a combination of good and bad - except RooK, who is all shining light and goodness knows. Accepting our bad parts, and the bad parts of others is - in my experience - part of being closer to God who already knows we are a combination of good and bad; light and dark.
So much for my rambling. Carry on.

Not to a Brit. We pronounce fillet as it's spelt - to rhyme with skillet.
Filet, spelt the French way, would be prounced fil-ay, but you only see that on restaurant menus.
It was only recently that I figured the name was a pun.

I agree with their view that it is wrong to engage in such acts. However, it is chicken they are selling and I don't buy bland tasting chicken. Especially when they don't have beer on tap. We normally go to Rocky's instead. There's nothing like chicken with seasoning that could eat through stainless steel, along with a side of fried okra and a local draft brew.

Define good. Choice cuts of meat, aye, but we might differ on the amount of congealed ingredients that still manages the appellation "good". There are items that are wonderful, Cornish pasties as mentioned. Beers and cheeses...drool And Chips! No one does chips better, save perhaps the Belgians. (Stupid, Skinny improperly cooked American "fries") But overall...?
Travel around the world and one finds French restaurants, Italian restaurants, Indian restaurants, etc. and British pubs.

If it is a Melton Mowbray Pork Pie then it is good. Accept no other. Take it out of the fridge about half an hour before you eat it to let the flavour develop.

Ooh I love a good growler. All warm and juicy and with a lovely bite when you get your mouth around it! Karl... Watson and Brown on Whittington Moor. You wont be able to get one for Christmas because they stop taking orders in October but you can get one if you just turn up in the day.
Oh, and OP... when he got to your table, why didn't you ball up a fist, summon up your courage and... twat the bastard?
