RE: S. Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-fil-a, dead at age 93
Don't get Chick-fil-A as much as I used to since the kids were born and the whole peanut allergy thing (Chick-fil-A cooks with peanut oil) but if I'm out by myself and hungry I'll stop by a Chik-fil-A nearly every time, unless I'm in NC and then it's a Bojangles/Chic-fil-A.

He was my Sunday School teacher, absolutely a great guy.
I’m planning to attend the funeral.

I'd never heard any complaints until Cathey stood by his Christian beliefs. That's when the tolerant liberals and tolerant queers came out in full force to call the sandwiches dried up and gross. So Chick Fil A's chicken is dried up and nasty, but they'll f*ck another man's dry butthole, yeah ok.

I honestly have never had a urge for a chicken sandwich. Never eaten a single thing at the place. It is just not my thing.

A big chicken breast, very well flavored too...
Here's what I had for lunch 30 minutes ago.

Just ate it 30 min ago. The chicken does sometimes remind me of pickles (even without the garnish) as Chikfila's chicken is fried in not only peanut oil but the batter contains pickle juice as well

Yeah, I worked for a very conservative christian company in Cook's Pest Control...if you want to give me a pay check, or good food, I don't really care what the CEOs views are.
Each Chick-Fil-A has an owner with their own views, see the Chick-Fil-A that sponsored a gay pride march.
But I don't like their nasty food...butter and pickle juice.

You'll get no argument about Gus's (which isn't even fast food) but Pirtles is crap.
Considering they've been around since 1957, you're one of the few who feels that way...that said, everyone is welcome to an opinion...just like I don't think chick fil a is any good.

I shot a picture of mine in front of my PC screen so people would know I wasn't BS'ing... You shot yours in front of a duck dust pan and '86 model microwave oven, which was the best decade for microwaves I'll admit. But you don't have any idea if yours was better than mine.

You will find more people who dislikes Pirtles than Chick Fila.
Impossible...one is small Memphis chain...the other is a national chain hated by many gays.

But you did nail the microwave...it is from 1986 oddly enough, and yes, it works great.
