Pretty incredible considering they've been around for over 50 years. I wonder why it took people so long to recognize how tasty their chicken is.

The biggest news to me is that Starbucks is counted as fast food.

Like...I always thought of them as a coffee shop first, and if you were desperate they had some frozen sandwiches they could microwave for you for seven dollars. Lol

They used to only be in malls.

When malls started dying they seemed to branch out.

Amazon then is indirectly who helped them.

It might as well be, though Starbucks is practically a desert shop for adults these days.

Mort liberal areas seem to want to make it more difficult for them to expand there due to the founder's religious beliefs.

Which is pretty fucked up crony capitalism that should be illegal

That's not crony capitalism, strictly speaking. Are you against moral objections to, say, abortion clinics, strip clubs, casinos, liquor stores, et cetera?

I don't see how liberals can stop them. No that air port turning them down wasn't do to "liberals" that was their choice to choose the stores they wanted.

Nope, I'm all for the free market. I think it's a much better judge of what we all want than elected rule makers are

What about high interest private loan providers? MLM's? I don't know your politics, but my point is that other people object to something - that doesn't make it crony capitalism. Say a child labor facility opened up where poor people could trade their 6 year old for $500 and the business would sell it to the highest bidder. You don't have to agree with moral objections, but you should understand them.

Just explaining to you why the delicious chicken you want to purchase isn't closer and more readily available to you because you're elected ruling over lords dont like it.

Sorry to bring the bummer of truth to you

I'm not against government regulating private business within reason. That's most of the reason for it's existence.

There's a huge difference between I'm gonna block these people's ability to conduct business because I dont like their politics(or even worse I'm in bed with their competitors)and I'm gonna block these people's ability to conduct business because they're exploiting child labor

Predatory lending is a much different subject than fast food providers. There's zero reason to intermingle the two other than make an intellectually dishonest point

Sorry to detract from the topic, last one.
If the owner of Chickfila donated to a predatory lending advocacy group, it'd be right to link him with that. Instead he donates to a group that jas said, "gay people deserve death." It's understandable how gay-friendly college towns might not support that.

And you know what, if you disagree with that it's your right to never eat there or spend your hard earned dollar there

But I dare you to give me a convincing argument that they should never be allowed to set up shop period without sounding like a faciest pos

IT isn't do to his beliefs it is him supporting horrible groups that try to block gay people from getting married, and it is even suggested that they had ties to the groups in other places around the world were being gay could get someone killed. So cram it the poor Christian, when you know down well it is not about that.

Funny story, gay people still eat and chick fil a. It's usually their straight allies that do the complaining.

As one of my coworkers says, "I don't have to like you to eat chicken that good"
