Star Trek Replicator Chicken fingers. It looks perfect and is always the same, but it's the type of place where somebody probably got thrown out of a window for suggesting that a pinch of black pepper be put into the recipe. The sauce is pretty decent, but I hope you like it because it's utterly necessary. Good lemonade too. Founder leans right, but not "Cathy-family" right.

If you live somewhere with a Layne's Chicken, that's way better. Popeye's is generally better too, though it's traditional fast food grimy versus "pretend we're fast-casual" veneer that a lot of the chicken places like to do.

Above average chicken fingers. The CEO is a MAGA donor, so beware.

Utterly unseasoned chicken, but wonderful bread and good sauce.

Like, seriously, the chicken just tastes like the flour they fry it in. If I go there, I just order bread and a little sauce to dip it in

Oil! Lots of oil!

Popeye's depends on location. I've had some amazing Popeye's and some "holy shit how do you fuck up a chicken tender" experiences.

Greasy beading that sloughs off the chicken immediately isn’t good by any metric, fast food or otherwise.

Ok buddy, but:

1. That's not the norm, and remember, this is in comparison to other fastfood options.

2. If you're boycotting them, how do you know that's what it's like?

But most importantly:

Company is rotten

I said every corporation sucks...

That includes chicfila...

They also went to the supreme court so they could determine the healthcare their employees get.

Not sure why you expect people to know what you're referring too...

steak n shake is one of the things i really miss after moving to the DC area. other fancy burger places like five guys held me over for a while, but they don't hit like steak n shake.

It's really not good food.

You people need to get off your high horse. I don’t give a shit about them or their agenda. Their food is gross.

I mean, there's a reason humans are still tribal in 2026, and it's not exclusive to conservatives.

We evolved to handle the social load of less than 200 other humans, that's the entire world we evolved for...

Everyone else is a "them" and we can juggle a couple groups of them, lumped by superficial characteristics because that's how tribes identified themselves.

We couldn't know every member of every tribe, so we judged everyone by their tribe.

People who strongly identify as LGBT, hate Chick-fil-A more than they hate McDonald's, despite McDonald's working closely with trump, treating their workers much worse, and serving vastly unhealthier food. And their CEO probably being just as against LGBT as chicfila's.

All that matter is chicfila is "a bad tribe" so anyone that doesn't treat that specific tribe as 100% an enemy, becomes an enemy of everyone slightly connected to LGBT in their eyes.

It's not logical, but I understand why they're doing it.

It just sucks that same behavior is exploited for issues much larger than a fucking chicken sandwich. If they "fight" chicfila with shit like comments in this thread, they get the same dopamine hit as doing anything productive, and then are less likely to actually be productive.

Bread and fucking circuses man.

The only way out of that maladaptive wiring, is treating every individual as a tribe of one, it's just hard and brains are lazy.

You like their food

What the fuck are you talking about?

I said compared to every other fastfood place that uses processed chicken patties, it's good.

Some people don’t.

The other point you e completely missed:

So if anyone is boycotting Chick-fil-A, they have valid reasons. It’s just damn near every other option is even worse, so if they have consistent logic their boycott list is every major corporation.

How the fuck is "So if anyone is boycotting Chick-fil-A, they have valid reasons" defending chicfila's politics?!

I'm saying boycotting them is valid

But only boycotting them is illogical
