Libs Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I would only participate in a boycott, if there was real discrimination going on, at the restaurant. If they didn't hire gays, for example, or wouldn't serve them. (Neither of which would be legal in CA).The only time I've had a Chik fil a sandwich was when one of their employees was handing out free sandwiches along the highway (I kid you not!). It was a promotion for their new store on that stretch of highway. I didn't think the sandwich was that great (my daughter and I shared it, just to see what it taste like). I have never visited their restaurants, based on that experience (which was before I knew anything about their political affiliation).I agree that people should be allowed to express their opinions (with few exceptions) without fear of retribution or losing their business.
BCSpace Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 So why a post here? I think it important in today's marketplace that we support with our business those who share our values. Since its restructuring nearly two years ago, the Deseret News, as it has reached out to a national audience with both its print and on-line products, has made a concerted effort to appeal not just to Latter-day Saints but to "like-minded believers." Just as I hope such folks would reward that effort with their patronage, I would like to do the same for others who are outside my own faith group but who share my values and ideals.Great to see yet another organization that uses it's voice to discriminate between right and wrong.
Avatar4321 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Odd. I did the same thing. Except, i didnt really do it as an anti-boycott. It was more the fact that everyone kept talking about Chick-fil-a so I started craving their food.annoying the boycotters was just a bonus.
