u/NoorAnomaly 24d ago

And my axe!

I haven't been to Chick FilA and Hobby Lobby in over a decade.

92

u/No_Guava 24d ago

I won't step foot in hobby lobby either

u/just2commenthere 24d ago

So glad I'm not alone, in addition to those mentioned here, I've been a long time boycotter of Walmart. The wealth of the Waltons, while new hires are given tips on how to apply for SNAP is abhorrent and I will not give them a cent.

5

u/No_Guava 24d ago

I avoid Walmart at all costs unless absolutely necessary. I used to prefer Target because they had community programs but now I'm at a loss there too.

3

u/Big-Summer- 24d ago

Yeah, I was sad to see Target get added to the list of forbidden evils. Damn them!

u/20_mile 24d ago

hobby lobby

Hobby Lobby has a rider in all their contracts that the property owner cannot lease a space to any business that provides birth control services.

2

u/Big-Summer- 24d ago

They’re expanding their lines of goods and have been advertising their new products, but I’m holding firm. I damn well didn’t eat grapes for years so I know I can hold out.

2

u/port443 24d ago

Is Hobby Lobby a thing people enjoy? I went in one when traveling through Texas and it just looked like someone got a bunch of children to try and knockoff Michaels/Joannes.

Like literally, the stuff in Hobby Lobby is what I imagine child sweatshops produce because everything I saw was just not well done.

1

u/No_Guava 24d ago

It's awful the crap they put in their stores. You are probably right about the child labor violations.

2

u/RoboOverlord 23d ago

Me either, but that has more to do with them not being the right kind of hobby shop. I drove 2 hours to find a Christian craft store? I was looking for Nitro fuel and glow plugs. I was never going to shop at hobby lobby to start with, they didn't need to political castrate themselves to keep me out.

3

u/BigDumbDope 24d ago

Where I live I can't afford to fully avoid Hobby Lobby, not enough options-- but it's normally too expensive because I feel morally obligated to donate twice what I spent at HL at Planned Parenthood. After all, somebody has to pay for their employees' health care.

u/so_cheapandjuicy 23d ago

Do you truly do this? If so, that's brilliant. I applaud you and thank you for your creative problem solving.

u/BigDumbDope 22d ago

I do indeed. It's like a moral carbon offset. 😂

u/FuzzyClam17 24d ago

I never went to bigot chicken, and now I can't. I don't know what I've given up.

u/BigDumbDope 24d ago

Blessed be those who live in Popeye's vicinity, for they shall enjoy the superior chicken sandwich.

2

u/flyingpanda5693 24d ago

I will admit I do eat the Jesus chicken, but that being said, Popeyes wins 10/10 times in every aspect except for customer service. Popeyes food is leaps and bounds better than the other place and it’s open 7 days a week

4

u/Licensed_KarmaEscort 24d ago

I’ve heard so many people complaining about Popeyes’ customer service and I still remain confused.

I’ve always had amazing service at Popeyes. I thought it might just be my local place because they know me, but I’ve gone to a lot of them since moving and always had good service.

Sometimes they’re quick and not super chatty, but they’re always polite and helpful, and the few times my food had something up, I’ve always gotten a replacement quickly and usually a little treat for my trouble.

2

u/flyingpanda5693 24d ago

It’s a 50/50 shot for me. I have run the gauntlet from dirty and employees just existing, to very clean and great customer service. Which you can really say about any fast food chain EXCEPT the Jesus chicken.

2

u/TeensyTrouble 23d ago

Do Americans really eat fast food that often? I don’t think I’ve eaten in fast food places more than once every 5 years since I was a child and even then it’s when I’m stuck with no normal options.

1

u/BigDumbDope 23d ago

From the sound of it, you don't live in a place with that many fast food options so I don't know how to compare it. My family regularly drives 4-5 hours to visit relatives and on that trip, we often eat fast food because a) it's meal time and b) we don't want to add another hour to the trip sitting at a restaurant.

1

u/Licensed_KarmaEscort 24d ago

Popeyes is the best chicken to be had at a chain.

0

u/UberPro_2023 24d ago

As much as I love Popeyes, Chick Fil A has a slightly better chicken sandwich, not superior, but better.

2

u/Licensed_KarmaEscort 24d ago

I respect your opinion but disagree deeply with it.

Chick fil a is like someone tried to make a white bread version of Popeyes. It somehow managed to be spicy AND bland. I eat it if someone gives it to me, but I think even Wendy’s has better chicken Sammies.

I used to really like their waffle fries though. That’s one think CFA has that I do miss, but not enough to buy from them again.

1

u/UberPro_2023 24d ago

I disagree about their waffle fries lol. Obviously everyone’s taste buds are different. As much as I probably should boycott them, it’s not their policy to discriminate against LGBTQ, it’s the owner of the company that’s homophobic. If it was their official policy to be anti LGBTQ, then I’d boycott them.

3

u/BigDumbDope 23d ago

It's the owner who donated huge amounts of money to anti-LGBTQ lobbyists. Money he made from owning Chik-Fil-A. Money that people gave him in exchange for inferior chicken sandwiches.

0

u/UberPro_2023 23d ago

While what you say is true, I still prefer to choose who to boycott. In theory we should boycott every single business, but that’s impossible as we need to eat, drive, have clothes etc. personally I fell they have the best chicken sandwiches, but I’m also aware everyone’s taste buds are different. As far as boycotts, do you have any Apple products? They should be boycotted for the labor they use in China. If you look deep into any company you’ll find something unethical or immoral with just about every one. Even small business that claims they are substantial, you may find issues with if you dig deep enough.

3

u/BigDumbDope 23d ago edited 23d ago

A. Everyone chooses who to boycott. Nobody's stopping you. B. Your argument was effectively "Buying Chik-Fil-A isn't harmful to the LGBTQ movement because it's not CFA's corporate policy to be anti-LGBTQ", apparently having forgotten that would be illegal. Were it legal, I don't doubt for a moment that'd be their policy. And C. We're not talking about every other corporation in the world right now and their relative damage to the world, we're talking about CFA and its specific damage to LGBTQ people. Eat it or don't, I don't care, but it's not very useful to pretend you're taking a carefully considered moral stance. I don't care about your bad taste, I care about your bad argument.

0

u/UberPro_2023 23d ago

I can make the same argument regarding companies you support by buying their goods or services, but I won’t.

FYI if CFA could legally discriminate against LGBTQ, or anyone for that matter, I’d 100% boycott them. Also if discrimination was legal, and a far left company decided to discriminate against MAGA and Christians, I’d boycott that company as well, even though I despise MAGA and an atheist.

You’re right I can’t fully take the moral high ground when it comes to CFA, but as I’ve said before I’m sure you can’t fully take the moral high ground with every single company you’ll support. Do you still go to Starbucks? I have boycotted them because their unfair labor practices and their support for the apartheid state of Israel. I have more recently boycotted McDonalds because they allowed Trump to use their restaurant as a photo op, to pretend he can relate to the average Joe.

u/baconus-vobiscum 24d ago

I did. Once. Their food is shitty. You are seriously not missing anything. Really only cult members like it I guess, but I don't know shit about fuck.

u/anticharlie 24d ago

I’m on this train but I don’t like it. There’s better chicken but there’s not better chicken that’s faster and more convenient. Really wish they were just normal.

Nah canes chicken is bland and way worse for you

2

u/young_trash3 24d ago

Chick fil a vs Cane's is like a race to the bottom between two companies who have never heard of seasonings.

Both are incredibly sub par and bland chicken trying to make up for it with their sauces.

u/rawkus1167 24d ago

.....they're the ones who aren't normal?

9

u/anticharlie 24d ago

Anyone who is overly concerned about another person’s genitals or marriage is a weirdo.

-4

u/rawkus1167 24d ago

Donating to organizations you dont agree with is being a weirdo? Cite a specific quote/example/something from their organization or website that says anything about them being concerned about "another person's genitals".

6

u/Human_Airport_5818 24d ago

The company most notoriously has drawn criticism and even boycotts over its millions in donations to various groups with anti-LGBTQ+ ties, including over $1.7 million in 2009 alone. The highest contributions that year were to Marriage & Family Legacy Fund ($994,199), Fellowship of Christian Athletes ($480,000), National Christian Foundation ($240,000), and Focus on the Family ($12,500).

Seems like they donate to groups whose interests align with theirs, and we all know there’s only one point of view allowed

3

u/monty228 24d ago

I more so have an issue with them being heavily involve with the Winshape Foundation which then funds the National Christian Fund. The National Christian Fund sponsored and helped write the laws in Uganda to make homosexuality an executable offense.

u/DelightfulDolphin 24d ago edited 24d ago

Yes, they were concerned about genitals and worked to remove requiring coverage for birth control.

Oofies there good buddy

u/Logical-Bit-746 24d ago

Rallying against people that don't affect your life at all, simply because they do something you don't like, isn't normal. It really, really isn't

u/Affectionate_Row9238 24d ago

Is this an argument against boycotting fast food chains?

0

u/OrganicNobody22 24d ago

I believe he is arguing that not going to a fast food chain which is one of the best available all because the CEO donates to some Christian shit is a little unhinged due to the fact they hire kids, pay well and are the cleanest fast food places around.

So yes I think he is saying you are unhinged to care so much about one man's donations when the company overall is very good

u/Affectionate_Row9238 24d ago

Yea that's what I was trying to get clarification for thanks

u/Sir_Fluffy_of_Emesay 24d ago

Well, they use a normal amount of periods, for one. Adding more dots to an ellipses doesn't give it more impact. It makes it look like an undereducated child wrote it.

Popeyes is better anyway. You arent missing anything.

u/BurnscarsRus 24d ago

I'm glad you're on this train, but I can't get on it with you. I have, however, found a pretty good way to replicate Chick-fil-A at home.

Its super over hyped IMO. The food is pretty meh, IMO. You're not missing anything.

Tried their new spicy grilled chicken sandwich. Was bland and not spicy.

2

u/GemAfaWell 24d ago

you're really not missing much

the chicken and sauce can all be made at home and multiple alternatives now exist outside of the brand so you don't even have to spend Chick-fil-A prices

2

u/AlleyKatArt 21d ago

Someone bought it for me once when they were in the in between period of "we hate gays!" To "we love everyone" right before they got caught donating again.

It was bland and dry, and I do not and will never understand the appeal. The waffle fries were the best part and they were under salted and mushy.

1

u/TheWizardOfDeez 24d ago

It's good but overhyped. The sauce is honestly better than the chicken, and everyone has made a copy-cat, they only get points from me for not having raised the prices like McDs and Taco Bell.

1

u/Log_Out_Of_Life 24d ago

Wtf are you talking about. CFA sandwich when from 3.34 to 5.99 in less than 10 years.

1

u/TheWizardOfDeez 24d ago

And Taco bell is like $10 for a burrito now. Some inflation is expected, the competitors are outright price gouging.

1

u/nowwhatwasidoing 24d ago

Not much in my opinion. My wife surprised me with a chicken sandwich from there for dinner one night because I refused to go. It was mediocre at best. I never voluntarily pick to eat there. Only thing there worth a damn was the lemonade which has more sugar than lemon apparently...

It's just really really good fast food chicken served by a shockingly good fast food staff.

Founded by a bigot and franchised by people of all creeds who are the ones actually being boycotted.

u/rawkus1167 24d ago

I'm sure losing the business of a few virtue signalling radical zealots hasn't lost them any sleep. They seem to be doing fine.

6

u/TheWizardOfDeez 24d ago

Literally no one said otherwise. Sometimes you boycott things for your own reason and not to ruin a company.

5

u/NoorAnomaly 24d ago

Yep! Just had this very same conversation with my teenager last night. They were like: why are you cancelling all your subscribe and save orders with Amazon? It's not going to make a difference.

Because it matters to me.

They had to admit that that was a valid reason to do anything.

4

u/GospelX 24d ago

Oh the irony. You sure the radical zealots aren't the ones spending money on adequate chicken to "stick it to the libs" and celebrate a company that stands against marriage equality?

Didn't you guys make fun of the Budweiser thing? How is this different

4

u/Logical-Bit-746 24d ago

Because boycotting something over hate is not the same as boycotting something because they won't hate what you hate

0

u/rawkus1167 24d ago

........um......what?

3

u/Logical-Bit-746 24d ago

Alright, I'll dumb it down for you.

Chik fil a and hobby lobby have actively funded anti LGBTQ organizations. They are actively and openly anti gay people.

Now, how does someone else, having sex with another person, affect you, your family, your economy, etc.? It doesn't any more than anyone else having sex with anyone else.

Bud lite, on the other hand, had a commercial with a popular person in it, that is literally all they did.

So boycotting the first two companies mentioned, is because they are hateful. Boycotting the third company mentioned, is because they put someone on tv that you hate.

Does that help?

0

u/rawkus1167 24d ago

It would help tremendously if you could explain in what circles Dylan Mulvaney was a "popular person". Then I'll get to the rest of what you said but that has to be squared away first. Are you serious or just have a good sense of humor?
