    That's every Chick-Fil-A everywhere. I recall a meme when vaccinations became available, suggesting they put Chick-Fil-A in charge of distribution. They do have efficiency figured out.

    We like them better than Popeye's. The traffic got so bad on one local busy street, the city made them reconfigure their entire parking lot. Now, you have to circle the restaurant twice, to get to the order screen.

    This is an interesting take. I will ask one of my gay-liberal friends if she will start going back to Chick-Fil-A, now. I live in gay/trans/etc Mecca, so their not losing business after their spotlight a few years back was interesting. This may make traffic even worse.

    I really don’t see what makes that joint so special. Granted, I’ve only had catered food from them and was never in one of their restaurants, so maybe when the food is hot off the grill it’s something special.

    I personally wouldn't call it special, but people do seem to love it. For me, some chicken tenders or a sandwich with a side salad make a reliable quality lunch.

    Someone told me their chicken sandwich has a pickle on it. A pickle on chicken doesn’t sound like a good combo to me, but millions seem to disagree with me so who am I to criticize them?

    At some point Bud has to come out and say they screwed up, that two people made a terrible marketing decision and got fired for it. What’s more important to the shareholders, stock value or being woke?

    Or it could be that they have learned to expect a temporary loss in money; they just have political agendas that can supersede money. Corporations are leaning toward fascism by merging with the state. That rainbow, whatever it meant before, is just as tied to the Democratic Party as a red MAGA hat is to the Republican party. But you won't see Target, or most other major corporations selling MAGA hats. You won't see a 20 ft MAGA flag, or one big MAGA sticker that runs the length of the main aisle of the warehouse, like you do at Amazon facilities.

    The message from most major corporations is clear: political symbols associated with the Democratic Party are fine for the workplace, or marketplace, but political symbols of the Republican Party will be judged harshly. That goes for your online speech as well. Don't let the wrong coworker see you hashing out your Republican, or conservative, or even worse, religious ideas online if you work for most corporations.

    Some refer to it as "Staying in your lane". Good advice.

    That charity event is at least a century old. Sigh. Equality, but not. The country needs to get over itself.

    They will stop it when they stop fearing the Human Rights Campaign.

    Better just to say you don't believe it regardless of what the media says. That's what I do.

    I don't see anything in the linked article title about "corporations" or "seem to be learning".
    When I hit the link THIS (title) shows up:
    Target partners with org pushing for kids' genders to be secretly changed in schools without parental consent
    ___________
    Anyway, as to the OP topic:
    Anybody who doesn't like Target's policies is free to stop shopping there at any time...
    ^Problem solved...:flagus:

    If you support abortion you are supporting murder.
