Cooking vs Restaurants

[Spongebob]

I like Chick-fil-A.  There are two main reasons: 1)Their food is damn consistent and 2)The line at the drive thru can be 30 cars long and you will still get out of there with a hot, correct order in less time than almost any other fast food place that has 5 cars in line.

I'll add a third - their lemonade is amazing.

I get why some people don't want to go there but there are shops and stores I went to before COVID that were mom and pop places and I had no damn idea what their religious preferences are.

Puts me in mind of Washington’s attitude regarding the hiring practices at Mt. Vernon: 

‘If they are good workmen, they may be of Asia, Africa, or Europe. They may be Mahometans, Jews, Christians of any sect, or they may be atheists.’

In context, it’s like saying, ‘I don’t care how you pray, just make me a sandwich.’ Hard to find fault with that attitude.

Boru

OK, so a few years back CFA came out publicly as opposed to same sex marriage and revealed that they donated money to candidates that opposed SSM.  My attitude has always been the same as Boru; please make me lunch and don't talk to me about politics.  If I don't know what the owners do then I don't much care.  But when they wave it in my face it kind of gets personal.  Same with Hobby Lobby and their very public stance against homosexuals and birth control, not to mention that obnoxious Christian music in their store.  I just can't stomach that.  Hey, I absolutely love me some Indian food, but I've never, not even once, felt preached at in an Indian restaurant.  I'm pretty sure the owners are Hindu but I wouldn't know because they aren't spouting their religious beliefs at me.
