May the best chicken win

"How Chick-Fil-A Responded To The Orlando Attack "

The Federalist:  The franchise, which is known for being closed on Sundays to allow its workers to spend time with their families and attend church, was supposed to be shuttered on the day of the tragedy. But hours after the attack that killed 50 people and injured at least 53 more, Chick-Fil-A employees went to work on their day off to provide free food for those waiting in line to donate blood for the victims of the attack.

The chicken restaurant has been on the receiving end of boycotts several times for its support of traditional marriage. But the chain’s political affiliations didn’t stop its employees from helping out the victims of the deadly attack at a gay nightclub.

I'm choking up reading that. These are the people, Christians, being blamed for the attack.

Chick Fil-A specifically. Would you like to see New York progs head's explode? It's not so fun as it sounds. Chick Fil-A opens in New York and offers the first 100 customers sandwiches for life and that is a very compelling pull. Darren Rovell Twitter post with photo of line 3-4 deep wrapping around the block in both directions from a corner shop, and all with umbrellas opened, raining with hurricane warning. The sophisticates simply cannot believe it.

The heteros strike back

Chick-fil-A eats KFC's lunch:

"Anyone in the northern half of the U.S. is likely scratching her head and wondering why she hasn’t seen Chick-fil-A outlets opening in the neighborhood. Last year Chick-fil-A only had about 1,775 U.S. stores to KFC’s 4,491, and most are in the South. Yet in dollar terms the Colonel is coming up short even with that much larger footprint: Chick-fil-A’s 2013 sales passed $5 billion, while all of KFC’s U.S. restaurants rang up about $4.22 billion, according to Technomic. And that’s with zero dollars coming in to Chick-fil-A on Sundays, when every restaurant is closed."

 Ed points out, "I think some of the homosexual rights crowd are getting the message that this sort of thing can lose them all the good will they have lied so hard to get."

Between this and Mozilla, I think it will be an interesting next few years as people vote with their pocketbooks. It used to be thought that the population was made up of about 10% homosexuals, but now I'm hearing 2%. Either way, I predict a more cautious approach by businesses in the future.
