30 nuggets for a family of 4? I don't think they thought that out. I feel like 16 chicken strips at a minimum would be preferable.

If you go to Chick-fil-A you're undoubtedly supporting the higher-up's bigotry and all that, one way or another, but it doesn't mean that restaurants and the workers there are going to turn down people.

They been serving food like this at the Dwarf Houses for decades now. Are Dwarf Houses only located in the Atlanta market?

It's not even an accurate critique of CFA. To be fair, they did some terrible stuff, but denying paying customer meals on bigotry is not one of them.
I have no problem with people boycotting them for life for their past deeds, but be fair with the criticism.

Yes.
pretty sure dude was making a joke but lots of people reacted like the cashiers and line cooks were getting painted out to be bigots.

Doesn't seem like he was joking. Saying its factual that they discriminate you at the stores themselves
Alright bro. I will let you in on a secret. If you have a coupon for a free chicken sandwich, from a coupon or if you get lucky with a chicken ball receipt, where they give you a free chicken for a survey...
Fucking kids meals man. 4-ct kids meal, fruit cup, and you can upsize your drink to a large or wahtever... do that, use the free entree coupon. and then you have the kids toy to turn in for a kids size ice cream cone... Under $5. You can get fries instead of a fruit cup if you want, but I get the fruit cup because there isn't an upcharge on the kids meals like they do on the adult size combos.
CFA coupons don't come around too easily, but they are out there. Through the CFA one app, or local promotions like school coupon books or whatever.
I know I can ask for it, but when I stop by CFA it would be before I go to work like at 7 am in the morning... Don't have time to wait for them to cook up a lunch sized portion of chicken.
Looks like thier kids menu sizes are 4 nuggets and 6 nuggets, and the adult sizes are 8 and 12.
12 for Dad
8 for Mom
6 for the Son
4 for the Daughter
Just as god intended!

Wendy's spicy nugs were dope af. Now the only thing worth getting there is the spicy chicken sammich.
I've never had a bad chick-fil-a experience, food or employee wise.
Here at the University of Oklahoma they have a regular restaurant in the union and in one of the cafeterias they have ALL YOU CAN EAT chick-fil-a. It's glorious.
Shame about the issues with corporate/higher ups, but I'm not going to pass up this delicious chicken.

its a fact that the company ownership doesn't like LGBT folk
nobody ever proposed that they seriously discriminate at the counter. Come on guys. I know text and tone is hard to discern but I think yall are off base with this one
No, but CFA is the GOAT of fast food.

You know whats weird? I actually don't think the breading on their chicken is the real MVP. Their nuggets have the same breading as the chicken on their sandwich, but their nuggets are just "ok" while their sandwich is #AmAzInG. The real MVP may be their buns and pickles
I always ask for extra pickles. Try it next time you go.
They use pickle juice in their marinade. That's the secret. It really makes the whole thing just a little more 'pickley' and delicious.

I order extra pickles when I remember to. There's always a line of cars behind me so I feel pressured to order briskly
30 nuggets? My wife and I could take that down, easy.
Tell me about it.
Which, we will certainly do if this comes to a CFA nearby.
Tell me about it.

Unless things have changed in the last decade, the chargrill and the strips get marinaded. Not the sandwich chicken.
You are not well, friend.

I put mayo on my waffle fries too

Why is the multigrain wheat bun so much better than the normal white one and why doesn't chic fil a use it as the standard.
TheCochese

It wasn't offered when I worked there, but IMO it's trash.
I have to order the grilled sandwich special with the regular bun. "The old way," which gets increasingly difficult the longer time passes.
After about five minutes, waffle fries are trash too.

They should call them Focus On The Family Style Meals.

Sounds like CFA has a secret menu I'm unaware of. What is "Old Way" style?

I'm definitely curious what those mini-rolls taste like. The place I've been going for chicken a ton lately has amazing yeast-y fluffy rolls. If these are similar or better, I'd probably get one of the family meals once, to also try out the CFA macaroni and cheese. A family-sized meal from Golden Chick is still cheaper (than Popeye's or KFC also), so I wouldn't get it often.

I do like how Zaxby's season their fries though.
My dad is a Chick-Fil-A operator.
This will not happen.
It would require way too much infrastructure and added equipment to do it to the level of quality that they like. Even just adding the spicy chicken sandwich was really difficult. They test new stuff like this all the time and it usually goes nowhere.

Reminding you that you're happily supporting bigotry isn't shitposting. It's the reality of what you're doing.

Old way is the regular CFA sandwich, just with the grilled meat. At one point there was a switch meat button, but apparently not anymore.
Buttered (oiled) bun, two pickles, grilled meat. Couldn't be simpler. A honey mustard bbq packet, perfection with some extra pickles.
When I worked there, I would make chicken burritos (before they stole my idea), french toast, chocolate milkshakes (before they stole that idea too), omelettes...
Nah. My kids first jobs will likely be there as well. Guess I'm now a bigot factory.
Have you gotten sick of all the free food yet?

No, not a joke, though perhaps a poor example. The stores won't turn away LGBT people, it's just that supporting the company funds groups that do in fact turn away LGBT people. So it's connected, but not immediate.
I support this. Don't get em on my Chicken Sandwich. I go by there like 3 times a week at 6am for a biscuit. Too good.

Things have changed a wee bit in the past 5 years. Also individual franchisees tend to have views that directly contradict the founder, who recently died. All the CFAs in the Houston area I've been to have been more diverse and inclusive than almost any other fast food franchise I can think of.
