A good chicken sandwich is a good chicken sandwich! I couldn't help but notice almost everyone mentioned they liked the food even the posters that hate chick fil a. I have to say I do not. I have eaten there only three times and I would have liked to give my small support to the employees when I heard about the boycott. The chicken was better at McDonald's and KFC, in my opinion. The last time I went, I had the bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. To each his own but I don't like a sweet tasting biscuit for a breakfast sandwich. Once again, I prefer McDonald's for that particular item.

They are closed on Sundays because they are "Christian" and therefore have to obey all the rules about the Sabbath that are found in the Hebrew Scriptures (what the Chik people would call the "old testament") even though Sunday is not the Jewish Sabbath and Paul, an author in the so-called New Testament, says Christians don't have to obey the former Jewish law. Also, being "Christian" they give buckets of money to extreme right-wing hate groups who focus on anti-civil rights against the gay communities. Having said that, before I knew all this, I used a newspaper coupon for a deal on chicken and a large Coke. It was blow your mind delicious. Still, their political activism against basic civil rights and democracy is just too unpalatable to me so I can't give them any more of my ill-gotten riches. You simply do not know what you are talking about. Only a very small number of Christians observe the Sabbath, which is on Saturday, not Sunday. Your 2nd paragraph: "They" give tons of money... once again, a very small number of them. The rest are simply working for a living. I would find it hard to believe that you have never worked for someone who had never done something you didn't approve of. 3rd paragraph: ..."their" political activism. "They" are about as politically active as one of their sandwiches. By "they" I meant corporate (which I think should have been plain), not the people working at the local sites. And, yes, I know very well that the Sabbath is not Sunday but try telling that to Chik-fil-A's owners. When "blue laws" started to fall in the late '60s-early '70s, the Religious Right tried to spin their support of the laws by telling us that it was a labor movement thing even though everyone knew that laws requiring businesses to either close or limit what can be sold on Sunday was all about conservative Christian control of society. Remnants of blue laws can still be found. In the state where I live you can't buy beer or liquor before noon on Sunday even though opening time other days is 9a.m. In my previous state, beer and liquor can only be sold in licensed liquor stores. Supermarkets can only carry low-alcohol beer. So, yes, the blue law mentality - based on the commandment to keep the Sabbath - still exists and can be found in the corporate offices of Chik-fil-A.
