Chick-fil-A Dominates in NYC Despite de Blasio's Call for a Boycott
PJ Media ^ | May 12, 2016 | Debra Heine

Mayor Bill de Blasio called for a city-wide boycott of Chick-fil-A last week, and it appears the people of New York have answered that call. The answer is a resounding "no." Both midtown Manhattan locations are reportedly raking it in, with long lunchtime lines that often stretch around the block.

Last week, Mayor de Blasio-- who is currently fending off several state and federal ethics probes -- urged New Yorkers to avoid eating at the politically incorrect eating establishment.

"What the ownership of Chick-fil-A has said is wrong," the mayor told reporters on Tuesday. "I'm certainly not going to patronize them and I wouldn't urge any other New Yorker to patronize them. But they do have a legal right."

The 7 Most Overrated Fast Food Restaurants

City Councilman Danny Dromm piled on, accusing Chick-fil-A of "forcing their employees and volunteers to adhere to a policy that prohibits same-sex love," which is not even remotely true.

In the wake of their city government's anti-Chick-fil-A temper tantrum, New Yorkers are demonstrating that they just "don’t give a cluck" about what the the chain's CEO said about same-sex marriage four years ago. While their rivals are struggling, Chick-fil-A is doing so well in the Big Apple, the company is planning to add 12 new restaurants in the New York metro area over the next year.

After a couple of more leftist boycotts, you wont be able to get into a CFA even in the off hours.

Good news for people who have never been to a CFA. If you see a long line don’t worry. In most cases they’re fast at taking and filling orders. You wont be waiting long compared to other places.

People will choose decent food and good service over idiotic political bullcrap most times.

Excellent management, quality food offerings, and the best customer service in the fast food industry. People like that sort of thing.

And the CEO is standing by that stupid decision? Wow. There has to be some unknown reason for such stupidity.

Even their soft-serve ice cream is a cut above everybody else’s.

I find the bigger the company the more bland the flavors and the more blase the service.

Well, out in the cold cruel world, being stupid can cost ya. Lets hope that it will be painful enough and a lesson learned.

More stories of perverts filming women in the changing room should make people pause and make the board of directors a little worried. A lawsuit or two would go a long way.

I visit the Chicken Fil A by my office.

Spicy Chicken sandwich
Waffle fries
Lemonade

Their food is excellent, and their customer service is even better. Always coming by to check on a refill or to take my tray if I am done.

When I look at the faces of the kids working there I would ask myself “I wonder what degree he or she is going for?”

Any other fast food joint when I look at the employees I would ask myself “HS dropout w/3 kids by now” or “I wonder when this one got out of the joint?”

But the quality of employees is very noticeable.

Last year when some idiot verbally abused a Chic Fil A employee at the drive thru because he didn’t like the opinions of the owners. The libtard media tried to organize a boycott. I think they set sales records that week.

But I am not angry, I can strike a deal with idiot liberals. Let us eat there in peace Monday thru Saturday and on Sunday you are welcome to picket and demonstrate at all Chicken Fil A’s deal?

Great marketing idea for any struggling business in NYC. Piss of the mayor and get him to call for a boycott. You’ll be raking it in in no time.

Guns and Chick-Fil-A.

The more the left despises them the more they sell.

Just keep it up.

Where I go McD sometimes when I get out of the office very late - the staff look like ex-cons released on a worker’s permits. With prison tats - and that is the women. Also, they pronounce “help” as “hep” as in “Can I hep you”in memorized robotic fashion.

I go by our local one every afternoon around 2:30 when I take my grandson home from school. Both lanes are always full as is their parking lot. Sonic next door never has anyone waiting nor does the KFC right across the street. As soon as they start up with the peach shakes again lines will be even longer - but the short wait is always worth it.

Once a month on Wednesday morning they have free breakfast. Talk about lines!!!

We might consider that perhaps DeBozo actually WANTS babies injured by their mothers alcohol consumption. There are demonically evil people in the world after all.

Get some burly bikers to hang around outside of Target, wearing shirts that say, “I’m just here to use the Ladies Room.”
