they might go for the anti-gay sentiments, but if chic-fil-a decided to open on sundays those same people would probably be there
Are you that naive or are you playing devil's advocate?

That's not really true. Most businesses make most of their profits on Sundays due to a lot of people both having the days off or not being religious / not going to church. Most businesses actually hold most of their sale days / special event days on Sundays because the amount of people that can attend them is far greater than the number of people during any other day of the week.

So you think the dude's a non-homophobe? I see no reason to think that he's not sincere as a Christ-stain, anymore than I don't think Rush Limbaugh isn't a conservative. They just use their genuine beliefs in a pragmatic way to make money.

What businesses do you work at? In all my years as a fast food wage slave, Sunday was always, always, the slowest day of the week. By far.

P.S. I'm not agreeing with Chula.

Why connect it to the company though? Should he make an opinion for a company about dog fighting? That's why I think of it as a marketing ploy, even if I do think he holds those beliefs.

I guess I didn't realize that Chula was talking more about fast food chains than just businesses in general. I've worked in retail for the past couple years, and Sundays always seem to be the busiest and most profitable day of the week.

Closed on Sundays - Sunday Philosophy | Chick-fil-A

There's one in the parking lot of my local Wall Mart. Don't even think about going there on a Saturday night.

It really doesn't help that Chik-fil-a is 1) expensive as f*ck and 2) disgusting.
