Yeah how far am I willing to for for principles? Will I deny myself a tasty chicken sandwich?
Eh, itās an American chain. Probably not missing much. We tried Popeyeās and white castle in the stateās years ago. Meh.
Popeyes must come from a location in the hood. The suburb locations are sub-par.
White Castle must also be located in a seedy area. In addition, it should be between 1am and 3 am, and you should be drunk.

Iāma bit fussy about location too when it comes to Starbucks (although I havenāt tried Starbucks in the hood). I prefer Starbucks from a standalone store rather than in a mall or supermarket. Airport Starbucks is acceptable.
Coffee is gross from wherever.

I already did this morning. I probably do it 300 mornings a year

I like Starbucks coffee. I only buy it on very rare occasions (5 or 6 times per year) because itās too expensive, but if someone else is paying Iāll take a latte or Americano please.
Costco coffee is made by Starbucks so I drink that pretty much every day. Iām not a fan of coffee at Starbucks.

Wow, generalize much?
That is some shit food. Or will be, very soon.
I generally bypass all chains, as the people who work there donāt care if I come back or not. With a local joint, there is a chance. Yes, I am saying there is a chance.
Payton Oswalt (I think) had a joke about wanting to go to Arbyās but not knowing where they stand on gay marriage.
With CFA it seems pretty clear that they financially support groups that I disagree with. So I do avoid them nearly always, but it is a damn good sandwich and I do cave and go once or twice a year. Sigh.
Does CFA have franchises? I mean, a particular franchise owner might not have the same values as the founder.
Regardless, one of my girlfriends likes to meet for lunch there, and thereās a location roughly halfway between us, so I probably have lunch there every other month or so. I donāt seek it out otherwise, but oh yeah, it really is good.
I was surprised that when my ex started a new job and they invited spouses to an event to go over stuff like benefits, they served us Chik-Fil-A for lunch. I would have thought theyād steer away from the controversy. But everyone just inhaled it. Southern-headquartered company, so perhaps a less woke culture in the C-Suite than in the Northwest where I spent much of my adult life, but I was surprised nonetheless.

My gf got some CFA and saved me some in the hotel bar fridge. It was OK; it may have lost something in the refrigeration.

New Yorkers walk a lot more than the average American, so thereās an offsetting factor.
CFA is changing though. Better late than never?
