i just want the rest of the fast food world to take lessons from chik fil a. they're hands down the most efficient fast food restaurant. of course, i think they also did what a lot of places won't, and actually factor in enough labor to keep the mill going, instead of trying to save a buck and make everyone wait. speaking of things that i'd like to make illegal, stupid corporate bosses who think they have to save more and more money every year and keep moving your goalposts, usually in ways that are detrimental to the people at the bottom actually doing the real work, and the customers, who have to deal with the mess made when a company tries to do the same thing with less resources.
Everyone in Chick-Fil-A gets to rest or go to church on Sundays, is why.

My favorite fast food place. I write positive reviews for them every chance I get.
Reason #573 why I quit my job working for a Kroger affiliate. It's wrong for someone who's never worked in a store, but who's got a lovely degree in business management, to be telling the lowly store level worker-bees how to run their stores. Next time you're in a Kroger or one of their affiliates look around to see how many employees there are on the sales floor to help you. You can probably make it up to 4 fingers on one hand.....
my favorite was when my AD was discussing potentially forcing managers to work 6 days to meet unrealistic labor goals. part of his argument being that he "works 7 days a week" . . . as if his work day even slightly resembled the crap managers on the front lines were going through. of course, this is the same AD who swore that people who complained weren't looking for freebies, because they never asked him for any. because they didn't have to, because they knew he'd give them. i was directly asked in the restaurant on multiple occasions what i was going to give people for their "trouble" . . . their definition of trouble frequently being that it took 15-20 minutes for us to make what would take them an hour and a half at home if they had to do all the prep.
Yepp and they look so short leggy by the way. But may I ask what does this have to do with Mr Stephen King? Its his website. right? No wonder why he refuses to read this mess of textts.
time is on my side... fantastic song, with an immense impact. Who of you read Kings Stories?That's why God made tasers.....
i'm sure much like all of us, he enjoys the insightful messages on the occasions he happens by. the inciteful messages, probably not as much.
....you may ask...and this Board is Stephen's, is operated by his staff, but we are allowed to post pretty much anything as long as it doesn't cross the border into the tasteless, obscene or personal attacks....and he DOES log on occasionally...so maybe you should check out the whole scope of things here-before you start making comments that border on insulting...
Um... well... all of us. That's why we came here in the first place. And there are topics aside from Uncle Stevie's stuff because we are a community and communities like to chat and play games. You'll find that we are equally capable of dissecting and analyzing an SK work and playing Who's the next person... Look around and get the feel of the place before you jump to conclusions. Also -- welcome!
Ooo, good word play, my friend! Me liket-likey!
I don't eat at Chick Fil A due to the owner's and company's strong anti- LGBT stance. They've donated hundreds if thousands of dollars to organizations considered to be anti- LGBT, and I don't want my money going there. Their chicken may be unequal to others, but so are their ideas of human rights and marriage. I know it doesn't affect them that I don't eat there, but it would affect my dignity to do so.
Thank you!
i admire those that can take that stance. and i appreciate the solidarity. i'm not much of a boycotter unless an entity is fully involved in shenanigans. it's mostly the CEO and not the company, so i give them a pass. unfortunately in today's world, you'd just about have to boycott everyone for one reason or another. capitalism hides just as much shady sh** as any other system. plus these days we have the "anti boycotters" . . . who will go out of their way to buy something just because the other side won't. i feel like it's almost a wash for most companies except the worst violators at this point. but we all have our ways to fight back, so kudos.
I understand that but I can't possibly boycott every company that doesn't adhere to my own personal values, nor could I possibly know what any given company's stance is on any given issue. Granted, Chik-fil-A has made theirs public but, generally, I don't believe in boycotts. I was equally opposed to people boycotting Target for their pro-transgender policies (bathrooms) and posed this question to them: "So, you're against companies with pro-LGBT values? Ok, so are you going to then carry around a list of all the companies that share similar values (to boycott)? Like Apple, Pepsi, Doritos, IBM, Google, the list goes on. Regardless of where a company stands it's nearly impossible to adhere to such a schizophrenic list of rules, no matter how principled one is.
I understand what both of you are saying. It is impossible to know what every company stands for behind the scenes, but those who do publicly and strongly decide to voice their opinions which differ from mine, are off my list of places to which I will be a patron.
I also love how uncomfortable people around rural Kentucky get when they start going on and on about their food and I tell them the reason I don't eat there. Suddenly, the subject of juicy chicken and waffle fries is to be dropped because I stand up for people they condemn with their Holy Bible. It's just food. People get all worked up over their precious food.
My not eating there also provides me opportunity to discuss these issues with my son. It's important to me that he understands the human and civil rights of everyone, and that he has choices to make about those rights. No food tastes as good as standing up for one's beliefs, however little difference one makes in the big picture.
We all have to stand up and be heard. Let them feel it where it hurts....in their wallets. I did not know this about this eatery. I will not eat there for sure.
I'm glad your son can witness first hand a parent following their convictions, this is more important than the quality of food at one's favorite eating establishment, certainly. Personally, regarding where I spend my money, I find it difficult to remain consistent. Maybe I'm hearing you wrong but it sounds like you're saying you're a better person than me because you choose not to eat at Chik-fil-A. Isn't this like your fellow Kentuckians, Holy Bible in hand, saying they are "holier than thou"? What's the take away from this? Should I inquire (research) about every business before I patronize it? If I'm going to be consistent, that is. Or is it more like Don't Ask, Don't Tell? I'm serious, not being facetious.
