There's a reason why Chick Fil A is doing better than every other fast food company: Service.
No, the reason is blind loyalty from Christofascist Christian Nationalists.
Every time you pay them for their bland ass chicken, they spend some of that money on torturing gay kids for Jesus, or supporting a politician that wants to make heresy a capital crime.
As much as you think that matters to everyone else as much as it matters to you, you are wrong.
You aren't wrong about what their owners do and what supporting them funds. But 99/100 people going to Chick Fil A just want a damn chicken sandwich. They don't think about the owners or politics. They think about going somewhere that is fast, easy, and relatively tasty (compared to other fast food places).
Blind loyalty only accounts for a very minor percent of their business.
Bullshit. There's always 5 extra employees at chickfila, an extra 1-2 in the drive through alone. My order is never wrong at chickfila, I've never had to complain of missing items.
Service trumps it all, whether you like the taste or not. I don't feel cheated, I don't feel abused. I get what I pay for and move on.
It's a very simple system that so many others fuck up so badly.
Hope you're part of whatever group they start finding the oppression of next. Anyone not militantly opposed to Christian Nationalism is supporting Christian Nationalism.
You are objectively wrong on this one.
Most people who go to CFA could not care less about religion. They go there because the service is outstanding and people are nice to them, and no other place treats customers that way.
They can get chicken anywhere. They can't have nice service anywhere else.
While that doesn't actually match up with my experience growing up in the cult or my experience working at one, I'll grant that there might be some places where that's true.
In which case I hope every sorry sack of shit who thinks the cashier faking a pleasant demeanor for their minimum wage is more important than not supporting Christian Nationalism winds up being the next target. Not supporting shitheads like the Cathy family is so far below the bare minimum that if you can't just not eat the bland ass chicken then you don't deserve any empathy at all when (not if) the Nazis come for you.
Yeah, as much as I disagree with the owners religious stance/beliefs, there isno denying that Chick-Fil-A is simple well priced, fast, decent fast food with great ustomer service added on around it. They have a very solid business model.
they are just not yet fell in the abyss of enshittification on the same level as others dropped themselves willingly, but it's only temporary and enshittification is so much greater than we are 😭
It's not a publicly traded company.
When you notice some company being way less shitty than others for apparently no reason, that's almost always the reason.
