Your sexual orientation is still hated on...even if you accept gays.
You hate pedophiles even if that's how they were born. They don't have to molest a kid. But being hated for the way you're born by the same people protecting gays is very intolerant
Thats all very nice, but I still refuse to eat at Chick-fil-A due to their funding and contribution to anti-gay camps. No one deserves to be told that their sexual orientation is incorrect and have to succumb for the tortures of a camp that brainwashes the "gay" out of you. Homosexuals have a story too. Don't they deserve to be understood without judgement, especially when you know nothing about them? Why don't you practice what you preach Chick-fil-A, then maybe you will earn my business.
My first comment on this was going to be judging the people that clicked disliked. Then I remembered they have a story too...??? Hmmm... I wonder now what there story is?
$HIT-FIL-A's Diet Lemonade is laced with ASPARTAME!@!!! And they claim to be a "christian" company??!!! I wouldn't even give my worst enemy their 'DIE't Lemonade! Aspartame - an addictive carcinogenic neurotoxin. The artificial sweetener aspartame is the most controversial and complained about additive in history. Aspartame is a nerve toxin and can cause a wide range of health problems. It was once on a Pentagon list of biowarfare chemicals submitted to Congress! BOYCOTT '$HIT-FIL-A'!!
Is gay. Loves the food. Can afford to eat at only a few places, here included. But is torn apart by the fact that the company financially supports anti-gay "ministries" and causes.
@wlotus2007 In case you didn't know, Christianity is anti-gay, not anti-people. Just because I am Christian doesn't mean I don't support business owners that may be gay, I just don't agree with their lifestyle and that is a conviction of my Faith. Cick-Fil-A does not hate gay people, it hates their choice of lifestyle, there is a huge difference. I also may not agree with your political views, does that mean I hate you? Absolutely not it is merely a difference in thoughts and beliefs
It'd be nice if CfA would "bother to read the stories" of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered persons they marginalize through CfA's enormous contributions to hate groups like Focus on the Family, National Organization for Marriage, Pennsylvania Family Institute, and others. But, I don't expect it.
@AnummaBrooke I am amazed at the lopsided thinking here. Because CfA doesn't share your same beliefs in regards to the LGBT community and they support other Christian organizations (who are hate groups? how so? Because they don't share your beliefs?.. oh that makes a lot of sense) then CfA automatically is wrong and according to you doesn't care about the LGBT community. CfA cares they just don't agree.
Great video. I saw this video over a year ago at a training meeting we had (I work at a chick-fil-a) and it impacted me. The little girl 1:15 breaks my heart.
This is a great video to go along with thanksgiving, you glare at a women whos kids are running all over the place by the street, she just got back from the hospital her husband had died. You honk at a person who is distracted who has just been diagnosed with cancer. you pick on a kid whos parents got divorced when he was 10 years old. Everyone has a life story.... if we only bother to read it.
"The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbour's glory should be laid on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken...It is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit..." -C.S. Lewis

If all companies were as responsible as Chick-fil-a seems to be, then we wouldn't have need for such a large government and all its regulations--not to mention the unions that "protect" employees' rights (while unintentionally bankrupting the companies that are employing them). In short, the U.S.A. would be in a lot better place if more companies did business by The Golden Rule (read: Biblical values). Bravo Chick-fil-a. You are as moral (and thus patriotic) as they come.
Precisamente eso es lo que somos, no tan sólo lo que vemos a díario en el espejo somos ,sinó también nuestra historia. Por eso somos diferentes el uno del otro cada uno tiene una historia que contar eso sómos.
It is such a blessing to be working for a company that puts not only "customer service" as it is usually practiced but actually SERVING THE CUSTOMER (whom we call a 'guest' to emphasize the hospitality aspect) before everything else. When you stop and truly value each guest, and use specific language and hospitality practices to demonstrate that, it's no longer just a job in just another restaurant -- it's a unique chance to value and serve every person who walks through the door.
If I had died in childbirth, and my husband blamed my daughter for my death, I would haunt him till my dying day! That one made get up from my computer and go hug my kid.
Chic-fil-a has deep ties to Focus on the Family and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and its charitable division has provided more than $1.1 million to organizations that deliver anti-LGBT messages and promote egregious practices like reparative therapy that seek to "free" people of being gay.
Great video - huge Chick fil A fan. Great business model, excellent customer service - and while they are in the food biz, they do care about their customers. They even use peanut oil for all their fried foods (while fat, still heart healthy fat - necessary for a good diet). We're all people. And if we can care and look out for one another in our business dealings, life will be much richer.
What a fantastic video. It hardly seems like a commercial. Chick-fil-A is a very, very different kind of company. The irony is that there is a person in the cow-suit who is treated like a person. While at other fast-food restaurants, there are people in people-suits that are treated like cattle. Kudos to Chick-fil-A for expending the resources to make this video and to help create an atmosphere that respects people. No surprise - it is a Christian company.
two years ago i was an inch from being homeless. i couldnt find a job anywhere. chick fil a was hiring. i immediately applied. the manager gave me an app and i filled it out. he watched for fifteen minutes. upon turning in the app, he said, "cant hire you, you have tattoos." wasted 15 minutes of my life. couldve told me before giving me the application.
What ridiculous shit. You actually think these companies give a flying fuck what you are going through? They have the distinguished responsibility of making greasy food for you fat diabetics who live off of food stamps. The only thing deep about this film is the amount of cash they will be able to fit into their pockets.
You saps fail at life. Compare your lives to mine and then kill yourself.
Nice. OK, so after we dry off any tears lets admit to ourselves that if any one of theses typical unknowns intruded into our NASDAQ life style communities we would have brushed them off as we dove off in our luxury vehicles while iPhone-ing golf & dinner reservations. HURRY ... you're late for that pedi
Cow story: "Escaped a brutal life in a pin surrounded by feces and death. Only to be picked up on the street by a van full of chicken fanatics. Forced into indentured servitude at a restaurant called 'Chic-fil-a', if he resists, they'll return him to his former jail. His mission now, to escape once again, and this time, it's for keeps."
I appreciate the heart Chick-Fil-A demonstrates for understanding their role in people's lives. How cool is it that they train their employes to be aware of the lives of their customers? This is why a trip to their stores reminds people like me of the days when customer service mattered.
I work at CFA and I must say this is why I treat every customer with respect and kindness no matter how rude they are. You never know what they're going through.

@sman2276 Calling someone's inherent personhood a "lifestyle choice" worthy of hatred is the same as hating the person.
Not all Christianity is anti-gay. There are many, many Christians who understand same-sex attraction is not a choice and is not sinful.
