Bud, Target and now Chick-fil-a

[hollohas]

To be clear, I didn't call for a boycott. I am however questioning the business decision of an extremely successful chicken chain completely changing their marketing strategy.

Chick-fil-A boardroom - "Hey guys, we sell more chicken than any other chain, let's completely change our best practices and go another route. "

That's plain stupid.

Talk about boycotts hurting franchise owners? How about an executive and marketing team hurting their franchise owners by trashing their long proven successful business model for one with a solid track record of failure.

This harmful marketing strategy is becoming increasingly common. Executives used to worry about profits, now they worry about DEI over profits. It's going to harm many companies.

I "boycott" Chick Fil A because their lines are always a mile long and their food is overpriced.

I don't understand how people can get so excited over a franchised chain business selling generic food products, but it seems to happen in Colorado every few years. People went crazy when they heard Krispy Kreme was going to be setting up shop here. Ditto for In-n-Out.

Now people are getting excited about Buc-ees convenience stores coming to CO? Why? It's a chain convenience store. They literally sell the exact same crap every other chain convenience store sells.

I remind everyone who calls a boycott on businesses supporting lgbt rights that Harley Davidson is a platinum supporter for the LGBT community?

We will all know Chick-fil-a has completely caved when they start opening for business on Sunday.

I do find some sort of hypocrisy when the stores are closed on Sunday because of some sort of Christian values but openly support homosexuality.

I have learned that boycotting places because of their policies or practices ultimately has little to no effect on their business so if they have a product I want I just suck it up buy it. Starbucks is pretty left leaning from the top down and I guarantee I have little common beliefs that are shared with any of their employees but I do buy their product because I need coffee and they have a drive through and their stores are everywhere.

Corporations that take positions that contradict the values of their consumer base is definitely a stupid thing to do like in the case of Budweiser. Corporations should stay neutral; if they don't, they are going to piss off somebody. Succumbing to the woke mob as many have done will have consequences. Generally, I believe all people should have equal protection under the law regardless if I agree or disagree with their beliefs or life choices so I won't boycott a company that brings a product to those who need it like in the case of Target nor will I attack an individual different from me, but I will not compromise my beliefs for people who are different from me. I will boycott a company that is directly involved in supporting policies and politicians who attack my freedoms. Conversely, all people should have the freedom to express themselves in accordance with the first amendment without fear of activists destroying their lives through cancel culture or government overreach; corporations, businesses, governments pandering to cancel culture and political/religious suppression; suppression of any kind is truly a prime threat to our constitutionally protected freedoms. A lot of businesses are navigating the wrath of cancel culture and misguided activists who are trying to force their beliefs on others, and there are misguided activists from all different views and groups not just the left. Unfortunately we have too many people who want to get involved in the affairs of others. Social media has created a war of ideas that will have a profound impact on policy and law that will impact everyone. As much as I hate it all, it is a war. I don't want to be a part of it, but sticking one's head in the sand isn't a solution either.

EDI is indoctrination. There is more to it than what is on the surface; there are way too many communist themes that are pushed through EDI training; the garbage I'm forced to sit through at work is appalling. I have no problem treating people respectfully regardless of who they are or what they believe, but when it comes to communist philosophy forcing me to think, believe, and communicate a certain way...pushing me to accept collective over individual freedoms, then I have serious issues.

It's everywhere. Anyone who makes choices of where they spend their money based on stuff like this isn't going to have many choices left soon.

Chick-fil-A has been ultra woke since Dan Cathy shined a black dude's shoes during the riots of 2020.

I'm Christian, but I stopped eating at Chick-fil-A years ago. All of their chicken ingredients include MSG, which gives my wife bad headaches.

IMO the Cathy family has been creeping away from solid Christian doctrine for several years. For all their declarations about being Gospel-centered ... they've chosen to serve mammon instead.

I'm not seeing the issue in your links...................
The clothing colors are based on the favors (ie BBQ) they sell.

The Corporate Statements are the tamest I've read.

But you do you................. boycott away.
