Reposting my post from another thread that clarifies the situation, BEFORE I post what I think of this idiotic decision by the heirs of the Cathy empire:

Despite the above info--all people are HEARING from this is:
Chik-Fil-A has gone woke
Chik-Fil-A has 'hired' (already there but still) a DEI manager--and MOST people associate that with gay/bi/trans.
RESULT?
Chik-Fil-A has--as my mama used to say--dropped their candy.
My boss just yesterday came back from lunch asking, "What's happened to Chik-Fil-A? I drove by there at lunchtime and there was NOBODY there---no lines, no cars parked--what's going on?"
The rest of us explained it to him--and he found it hard to believe.
Then today I drove by a Chik-Fil-A that's on a busy highway on the way to Lake Lanier---usually on a Saturday (esp a beautiful one like this) should have customers running out of their ears. Hardly ANY cars.
If they don't do something FAST---they're (pun intended) COOKED.
The reason people (especially Christians) patronized Chik-Fil-A is because of Truett Cathy's Christian principles. He determined when he started the store to do all to God's glory, which involved the highest quality food, a true servant's heart in service, and honoring the Lord by not being open on Lord's Day (Sunday).
Since his sons have taken over---food quality has dropped, and I was shocked at seeing the workers there last time I went in-store--the hairstyles, tattoos, and behavior spoke more "McDonalds" thant Chik-Fil-A--and now this.
I guess Dan forgot what his dad knew--that you can't be "friends with the world" and "friends with the Lord" at the same time.
He's about to find out.

Not Even Chick-fil-A Is Safe From Anti-'Woke' Right Wingers
The Christian-owned fast food giant is under attack for its corporate diversity policies

Fresh off a siege against Target for the crime of releasing a Pride collection, far-right influencers have been roving the digital countryside looking for the subject of their next meltdown and have landed on a surprising choice: fast food chain Chick-fil-A.
Why are conservative accounts attempting to gin up outrage about Chick-fil-A? Because the company has (gasp) a diversity, equity, and inclusion program. The fervor over the famously Christian chain has reached the point that lawmakers are now getting involved. RawStory pointed out that Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) called Chick-fil-A “abhorrent” while speaking to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Wednesday.
“That’s where we’ve got to certainly stand up for the principle and the truth where the abhorrent conduct comes from a putative ally, someone we’ve relied on,” he said, referencing how conservatives can’t depart from their values. “It’s very disappointing, but you cannot make it better by papering it over and letting it roll.”
Kirk tweeted on Tuesday that Chick-fil-A had gone “WOKE” by committing to a “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion agenda.”
The freakout seemed to be prompted by a Monday post from podcaster Joey Mannarino. “We have a problem,” he tweeted, “Chick-Fil-A just hired a VP of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. This is bad. Very bad. I don’t want to have to boycott.”
Chick-fil-A’s website includes a quote from Erick McReynolds, VP of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion stating that the company is “committed to ensuring mutual respect, understanding and dignity everywhere we do business.” McReynolds has worked at Chick-fil-A for years, according to LinkedIn.
Several other conservatives logged their outrage. Cringe-poster Benny Johnson posted a video calling for a boycott of the fast food chain over the company’s “Anti-White, Anti-Christian Woke Agenda,” while Ian Miles Cheong, a right-wing influencer with over 600,000 followers, declared: “Chick-fil-A has gone woke.” Columnist Todd Starnes wrote that the company’s DEI division “explains the fried cauliflower sandwiches and kale salad.”
Johnson posted another video on Wednesday, calling Chick-fil-A “the biggest fraud ever pulled on American Christians, that this is some type of Christian company — shame on them, shame on them.”
Johnson then argued that “tolerance is not a Christian virtue” while accusing Chick-fil-A chairman Dan Cathy of suffering from the “woke Christian mind virus.”
Conspiracy documentarian Stew Peters tweeted a clip Cathy, with Peters claiming that Cathy had said “ALL whites should get on their knees and shine black peoples’ shoes with ‘a sense of shame, a sense of embarrassment.’”
The chicken-based eatery has historically been a darling amongst conservatives who laud its religious roots and values. The company’s owners are devout Christians and Chick-fil-A restaurants are, to the chagrin of hungover college students, famously closed on Sundays. Its prolific monetary support to organizations with anti-LGBTQ views, which reportedly ended in 2019, has long been a point of criticism against the company. That the chain is now being accused of being too friendly to minorities quickly became a point of mockery for those who have long avoided their fare.
From Bud Light to Target, the roster of companies being blacklisted by reactionaries is growing at a feverish pace. On Tuesday, the hashtag “BoycottDisney” trended, fueled by conservative outrage over a male employee of Disney working at one of Disney Land’s dress shops while wearing a dress and eye shadow.

Well, there you go….
Chic Filet is way over priced for what it is.
The closest one to us charges 7.15 for a 4 piece chicken strip box. Maybe a 1/3 of lb of strips depending so 18-21 dollars a lb for not that good of chicken strips deep fried in whatever seed oil they use. No Thanks. Same as gas station food.
