Chick-fil-A changing its chicken sparks backlash

I think that's the trick though, they aren't "their" chickens. They're buying them from 3rd party vendors.

If they wanted to be serious about quality, they'd set their own standards and raise their own chickens.

Not sure if you're a sexist asshole or referring to tests that were originally made to be sexist/racist to only prefer a specific type of person, like the Jim Crow Literary tests that were purposely difficult and confusing to stop black folks from voting.

This is completely off topic, but here's some facts for you, from someone who works at a fire department.

Those physical fitness tests were pretty arbitrary. They don't have much basis in the job itself.
At most departments, physical fitness tests are for the application only, and a LARGE percentage of current firefighters couldn't pass them just a few years later.
There are many, many jobs a firefighter does, and most of them do not require massive amounts of physical strength.
Firefighters deal with the public, and often in a medical capacity far more often than an extinguishing fire capacity. Having female paramedics available to run medical calls is very important for the community. This is the same for having a mix of employees from all socioeconomic groups that are in the area.
There are a LOT of fire departments that are switching to a more fair entrance criteria, and that is making the job better, not worse.

If you could get them to ignore their "moral compass" you could save them $4,416

They don't give a shit about LGBT lives, but they sure do give a shit about antibiotics... I'll give you a single guess as to why.

No it doesn't. It's just generally immensely popular.

I guess you can still call it good but they switched to Tyson on the East Coast like 10 years ago and yeah it's bland and generic.

KFC in North America could learn a thing or two from KFC in China. It's their McDonald's.

Fast food also varies so much across the US. I talked up Chick-fil-A so much after having it in Texas, and then when I brought my girlfriend to one in Florida it was garbage.

Twenty years ago? Probably?

Ten years ago? Doubtful

But the past few years have seen most of the fast food fried chicken places go hard on chicken sandwiches. And even mcdonald's has stepped up their game to being actually pretty decent.

Mostly chikfila just coasts on their recognition from 20 years ago and the zealots who refuse to try anything else.

Dave's Hot Chicken would like a word with you.

Popeye's is better. I've had Chick-fil-A once (bought for me) and it was exactly what it looked like: a chicken sandwich. It was a bit bland and watery.

One thing I do like is that they have (the option of) whole grain buns... I've been unable to find that elsewhere.

If juicy=flavorful then sure, it's flavorful. I look for more though.

This is the only explanation that makes any sense.

Everything is expensive now

In my city, the dive bars make phenomenal chicken sandwiches, which cost 4-5 times as much as Chick fil A, who makes a good chicken sandwich.

Taco Bell isn't that cheap anymore. I ate there not long ago for the first time in years and it was over 10$ for the basic taco combo, not even Supreme. And they sucked. They were almost completely devoid of fillings. They are on my eternal shit list now.

They're not inexpensive.

Not here. Here that's the "normal" side, eating the homophobia jesus chicken is the minority.

Of course, all of the lgbt people I know eat also there, so I don't feel the need to be performative about it, my friends won't deride me for going they'll ask for de-ride there.

I bought a sandwich for them when I read that they stopped doing all that stuff, of course they quitely started up again.

You really aren't missing much. It is marginally better quality compared to any chain and lower quality than a real restaurant.

It's a very mixed bag, due to the fact that most of them are franchises.

I remember when I quit and went to amazon, my hourly went up by more than 50%. I worked 20 hours less every week and for health insurance.

But there's also some near me with signs up advertising $18/hour.

I find it almost impossible a religious business treats their workers well…..THEY FUCKING WORSHIP god FOR SUCKS SAKE

He asks as he gaf about some random Lemmy comment lmao

The chicken has always been moist-soggy. This was fine when everyone else had dry as fuck chicken. Now everyone else has figured out the moist-crispy sandwich and CFA just isn't that great.

Yes. The chicken is soggy and gross.

are you regularly tasting homophobes to the point where you feel qualified to make that statement?

if you've bought anything there then you are contributing directly to people who fund and support the anti-lgbtq+ movement so yes, you cannot be a customer there and also support these social movements

Good. Fuck hick fil-a

No...they're specifically using antibiotics we don't need for people. It's cool if you want to advocate for veganism, but make sure you're being factually accurate when you do so if you want to be taken seriously.

The article specifically said they're only going to administer antibiotics to sick chickens and those in close proximity to sick chickens, not generally as a preventative.

That's zero sum, from the chicken-life perspective.

Die of infection or die by slaughter, their life isn't changed by the variable in context.

Edit I'm saying antibiotics are not for the animal's wellbeing. They are a tool to extract profit, and not let the chickens die at the wrong moment. That's it.
