First, a little history:
The first actual Chick-fil-A
restaurant opened in Greenbriar Mall near Atlanta, GA in 1967. It was sprung
from another restaurant the Cathy’s had called The Dwarf House (some
Chick-fil-A’s still have this name attached to them) that began in circa 1944.
Neither The Dwarf House nor Chick-fil-A has ever been opened on Sunday due
partly to the fact that they were tired after working the other 6 days but mostly
because the Cathy’s are devout Christians, making Sunday the day of rest and
prayer. **Make a mental note of that last part, folks.** Just for the fun of
it, we’ll say that CFA started in 1944 (at least the idea of it) so that makes
68 years that this restaurant has been in business. For you people who want to
get technical, from 1967 it’s been 45 years. My point is they’ve been opened
longer than my readers have been alive (I’m assuming) and that’s a long time.
So, with that said, they’ve been opened and doing quite
well with the standards they started out with. And by standards, I mean
Christian standards. Sixty eight….or 45….YEARS. I don’t understand all the
hoopla about them “all-of-the-sudden” being against non-traditional Christian
ways. I said earlier they are devout Christians.
That means they’re seriously devoted to God for those of you who were lost in
the history portion of this blog. Depending on what you believe, God’s against
gays and especially them getting married and so is CFA and most of the
Republican Party.
Me? I couldn’t care less. If two people love each other enough
to want to get married, I say hell yeah, go for it. Who cares? I also don’t
care that CFA is against the concept of gays getting married. I don’t care what
politicians try to use this angle to make themselves look better in the eyes of
God and the American people. I just don’t give a fuck and you know why?
Chick-fil-A makes a fucking good chicken sandwich. And the waffle fries?
Outstanding. I like almost everything on their menu. I don’t care if they kneel
down and pray to a goat for 2 hours every day and then eat the goat’s shit; I will
not stop eating there. They employ very courteous people and I’ve never once had
to send an order back or gotten the wrong order in the drive thru. Never! And I’ve
been eating there for a lot of years. You few people out there who have eaten
CFA for years and now are boycotting for some idiotic reason should be ashamed.
And guess what? It won’t matter one bit to CFA because they will still make
their money from people like me who will continue to eat there. You can try to
ban it or try to not have one built in your neighborhood, but it won’t matter.
They’ll just build somewhere else and make way more money than you ever will.
So just suck it up and go get a chicken sandwich and some waffle fries. And a
sweet tea. You know you want to.
