In reply to the discussion: A Chick-fil-A owner shocked his employees in the best way after shutting down for renovations [View all]PersonNumber503602
(1,134 posts)81. Thanks for the link.
I'm with 7962 on this. It seems like in court this could go either way though. I was having a metal debate with myself over whether I care about this or not. My knee jerk response is that I don't care if they give discounts to church goers or not. But then I was thought what if it was based on race? Such as a discount to whites on Jefferson Davis' birthday (yeah, I dunno), or discount to african americans during black history month. Although race isn't a choice like religion, so there is that difference. Another scenario is a company giving discounts to people who just attended a political rally for the owner's favorite candidate.

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

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
