Popeyes' Sandwich v. Chick-fil-A's: More Flavor, Less Homophobia



Love when 2 companies go at it because we the consumer usually win on either price, quality, or both. ALMOST rode my bike down at lunch today to a Popeye's to try it out but too hot and I'm too lazy.


Let me know if any of y'all try it!

I had it once and didn't like it either.

I don't mind eating at Chick-fil-a. Aren't most all stores run/owned by local folks anyway?

There are threads from both sides of the aisle on this forum weekly with boycotts over companies. We vote with our wallets all the time. Don't pretend like you don't.


Soms, they work even further away w/ an even busier schedule. Will have to try out on my own time.

In the past week, the alt-left has boycotted CVS, Home Depot, Equinox (and SoulCycle!), and Shell Oil. And that's that I know of since they all trended on twitter.

Guess what I'm not going to do -- boycott Popeye's.

Bro, this is mental illness.

Mental illness is taking your business elsewhere because of the political affiliations of business owners? As if.

Good on your for not boycotting Popeye's. Your consumer choice. I don't boycott Chick-fil-A but now if I have a choice between the 2 I might switch it up. YAY FREE MARKET!

Yes, if you're researching the political leanings of every business you interact with, you have a problem.

Just curious, how does one go about boycotting Shell? Do you think that only Shell gas ends up at Shell stations? And vice versa? You'll probably use a dozen products today that Shell had a hand in without even knowing it.

Also, if you're participating in the CVS boycott, you may want to also make sure your health and/or life insurance isn't with Aetna.

Would you take it that far? A company that they had nothing to do with 6 month ago, suddenly you have a problem with, as well?

It's all just so tiresome. Leftists are sucking the life out of this country. I personally have no interest in these emerging, parallel economies.

Yeah, local community leaders and the like. I think they require you to work in them, as well. That's why the odds of getting a franchise (for what I believe is at a cost of just $10,000) are like 1 in a million. It's an exclusive club, and it's why their brand is so pristine.

Quote:“The Huffington Post says Popeye’s doesn’t have a political action committee they can directly track, but the company chairman donates to Democratic politicians in Florida. He’s also a man of science, as he serves on the National Stem Cell Foundation to promote and fund research.”

The Popeyes website touts its commitment to “diversity and inclusion,” but it doesn’t specifically mention LGBTQ employees or customers. It lists three employee resource groups: the Popeyes Multi-Cultural Alliance, Popeyes Emerging Leaders Forum, and Popeyes Women’s Leadership Forum. So the company isn’t overtly pro-LGBTQ, but it isn’t overtly anti-LGBTQ either.

Stop pretending (lying imo) that boycotting companies is a liberal ideology. Disingenuous at best. Plenty of conservative groups and posters boycott all the time.

Examples, the thread about boycotting Gillette. Or the fb group 1 million moms.
