Reply to comment by adamcoe in TIL that Chick-fil-A started in 1961, after founder S. Truett Cathy found a fryer that cooked chicken as quickly as a fast food burger. Chick-fil-A licensed the sandwich to 50 restaurants, including Waffle House, until 1967, when the first standalone Chick-fil-A was opened. by jdward01

I mean chik fil a is a restaurant, not a religious institution. It’s leadership and employees lean to the Christian side, and that side obviously leans towards some ignorant beliefs (though most are not offensive to anything but logic), but to imply that it defines the restaurant seems kind of ridiculous, given how successful they are.

I worked in multiple stores across multiple years - they don't just lean Christian. The stores, the owners, and most management are deeply religious in my experience. I was pressured to go to Dave Ramsey classes, go to church, pray at every meeting, etc.

Not saying it is an evil place, most of the people I worked with were the kind to practice what they preach and aren't hateful people. But don't fool yourself into thinking the individual restaurants aren't as religious as the brand as a whole.
