In reply to the discussion: A Chick-fil-A owner shocked his employees in the best way after shutting down for renovations [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)29. The last time I was at one was with my gay cousin and his partner.
Which is ironic, I suppose, given all the uproar--but they liked the food and there wasn't as much of a blow-up about the anti-gay donations at the time. They were handing out cow toys that said "Eat more chik-n," IIRC.
It was the one in Atlanta, the rather un-PC "Dwarf House" I think it's called.
We ordered pretty much everything on the menu and sampled like hell. It was all good. This article pretty much describes the reception we got (we ate around the corner in the comfy booths):

Of course, down south they carry a lot of country food that they don't carry at franchises up north.

That was my problem with them--I avoided them for the anti-gay legislative support.

I'll be frank--there's only one, I think, in my entire state, and it's in some mall I never have

So he pays his full timers 23 bucks an hour? Wonder how many of the employees are full time then.

Great, but shouldn't take that long to renovate and there is a cost with hiring and training all new

He sounds like a stand-up guy, yet he is being damned with faint praise in this thread

The politics of the parent company aside, Cick-fi-A employees get treated fairly well
