this is just like bloons td
lmao, yes
I don’t understand this restaurants draw. It’s not that good and it is always packed. And they are owned by bigots.
It’s incredibly easy to understand, people have different tastes and are able to not mind that it’s packed! They’re probably also unaware/don’t care that the restaurant is owned by bigots.
I rarely go to such places but the quality of service tends to be above average.
What is the bigoted part about them? Sorry, my country only has a handful of American chains(looks at shitty pizza from Dominoes) and I don’t think this one has launched here yet.
The owners are (or at least were) serious about their Christian beliefs and used the company’s wealth to help fund anti-LGBTQ+ groups. Whether that’s changed or not, I don’t know, but they shell mediocre chicken sandwiches so it’s no loss to just ignore them, except for the amount of pollution people seem to generate waiting in line around their buildings:

its insane yes, but it cant even keep up. Lines out to the street are common in Arkansas
In WA they’ve had to close one because morons would back up onto the street, down an offramp, and onto the freaking interstate. For a chicken sandwich.
Of course it’s in a non-walkable spot, across the interstate from all of the businesses and offices so everyone drives there
fuck I hated getting off 405 there, fucking madhouse bellevue christian chicken frenzy every fucking lunchtime
and you knew exactly where I was talking about. They closed it finally!
They closed it finally!
No shit?! excellent!
Just searched it. Hate chicken is back open in Bellevue after a remodel.
you can’t keep a good hate bird down apparently
They did! But I’m real real nervous it’s only to add another drive-thru or something stupid.
I love Dutch Bros but they all look just like this too. Often with cars forming a line in the actual street.
Yeah never understood the hype for that place. Just syrups and terrible espresso.
I thought Tim Horton line ups were bad. Holy heck how do they even account for this at the city planning level?
Gotta love how whenever someone posts something about Chick Fil A, there are several comments calling them bigots.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick-fil-A_and_LGBT_people
They stopped donating to anti-LGBT organizations 11 years ago (except for FCA and the Salvation Army, organizations that are considered anti-LGBT due to stances, not actions. They stopped donating to those in 2020 anyways.)
The owner is still the owner and still a bigot.
The owner, Dan Cathy, is still actively involved with groups such as the National Christian Foundation, an organization spearheading the derailment of the Equality Act.[11]
Til that guy steps down, fuck Chick-fil-A
it’s okay to like their greasy sloppy bullshit chicken in peace. you don’t have to defend their bigotry online.
plus.
“they only USED TO donate to hate groups” really isn’t the defense you think it is
I’m not defending bigotry. I’m saying they stopped doing what people accuse them of years ago.
Also, I might have the wrong word here, but why are you arguing hyperbolically?
hm I’m not sure. hyperbolic means using exaggeration for rhetorical or dramatic effect. i dont think I was doing that.
Yeah, I don’t really know a better word for it. I was referring to how you turned my “they haven’t done it for years” into defense of them doing it, and then also insulted their product so colorfully. Maybe “extreme” would have been a better word? Less specific, but I think that’s okay.
Well my comment was certainly biased! It seems like people who grew up eating their food like it a lot more than people who didn’t, so I wanted to be sure to make that jab that I don’t think their food is that good.
As for how long it’s been since they took that stance… I dunno, I do think it’s different for average folk in the 90s to make cultural commentary that perpetuates homophobia. What CFA did was bigger, on a systemic level with the aim of affecting policy, and it was at least 20 years later when there already had been a major cultural shift against homophobia. I’d give an individual a pass on improving their bigotry much more easily than I would a corporation.
How do you even walk in there?
I don’t think you do
What’s the red umbrella guy? Another order spot?
I’m guessing they basically made a second drive through line. They just need someone outside to walk the food out to the second line.
Given that exact location, and surrounding infrastructure, that is by far the fastest way
