| - Boy is this review gonna be different...
First off, Chick-Fil-A's North Olmsted location is awesome and that's exactly what reviews on Yelp, (or anywhere) should focus on. The food is perfect, the prices are fair, the service is amazing and the place is spotless. That's it... FIVE STARS!
Second, this national chain got into a debate that unfairly paints them as unfair, homophobic and even supportive of denying equal rights. The company has had a very public Christian persona since it's founding, closes on Sundays, gives more dollars to charities (proportionately) than ANY other chain, pays their people more than any other chain, provides more career opportunity, college tuition, grants, scholarships and so... than any other chain. Their CEO was asked HIS opinion... HIS understanding of the definition of marriage. HE said, as would most people today, and as all cultures, all religions in every corner of the world for ALL of recorded history, that he "believed in the biblical definition of marriage." For that, these "tolerant" fools protest, boycott and write BS reviews on Yelp! Thereby hurting the bottom line of a company that gives tens of millions to charity, deprives the hardworking Franchisees and hurts all of this company's employees... Even the gay ones! This chain never refused service to gays, purchases from gay vendors or even denied applications from gays. The CEO said what he believes and this "TOLERANT" bunch of thugs tries to run them out of business? Shame on all of you who engage in this extortion! More people are hurt by these actions than you can imagine.
BTW... The boycott didn't work so well... People came out in droves, waited in lines for hours and supported the chain to the point that they enjoyed their greatest sales efforts. Meanwhile, people grew to think that the "gay mafia" is simply a bunch of intolerant idiots.
The Census dept came out and said (as of 2010) that gays represent 1.8% of the population... This is all blown out of site. Can we just focus on how well the restaurant and it's hard working employees do their jobs? It's very unfair of Bob A. and Xela N. to impose their views on the rest of us Yelpers and cause harm to a wonderful group of people. And don't come back with the "civil rights" thing... Gays have the same right to marry someone of the opposite sex just like the rest of us do. Most importantly in this forum... Gays have the same rights as well do to visit a restaurant and write an honest review.
