Even Huckabee Can't Eat Enough to Keep 'em Going
http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/13640
New data indicates Chick-fil-A's image with consumers has dropped dramatically since the company's president proudly embraced the organization's anti-LGBT donations. The new numbers come as former Governor Mike Huckabee and the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) attempt to make today a national "Eat at Chick-fil-A" day.
According to YouGov's BrandIndex, Chick-fil-A's brand perception among consumers has dropped by more than 20 points since Dan Cathy replied "guilty as charged" when asked about Chick-fil-A's donations to groups that work to demonize and harm LGBT people. The drop is noticeable across the country - even in the South, a stronghold for the fast food chain...

Ignore the reality of crowded restaurants across the country.

1. Now you know why repugs want their donors kept secret.
'brand perception' is everything to these people.

5. What's a brand perception
And how does it relate to changes in the amount of people eating there?

It's inversely proportional apparently.
Three low post count trolls add their comments and seem to kill the thread.

6. Hard to tell from driving by CFA today...
Drive thru line was backed up around the building and back on to the street. The line for the counter was also hanging out the door.

7. Drove by CFA a few minutes ago
There is a line of cars 3/4 mile long to get in the drivethru.
People are circled completely around the building waiting to get in to eat.
There were 12-15 protestors out front.

8. Seen several posts on FB today
of people posting photos of crowded Chick-fil-A parking lots and police having to direct traffic because of so many people going there in support of hate.
Of course, I'm in Alabama where people use their religion as an excuse to hate all the time. If anything this controversy is helping them profit even more here in the south.
I so want to comment: "Thank you for your order. Would you like a side of hate with that?"

Again a swing and a MISS for anything the DUmmies try to accomplish. I'm sure the CFA's will be enjoying their day when they go over the daily receipts.

I posted another topic about this but I want this in here.....Dummies are agreeing with what I am posting also. MAJOR BACKFIRE! :loser:
Today is CFA day and I left at 10:30am and sat in traffic forever with my boss thinking "Gee this must be one serious wreck". Turns out and I took photos of it the huge backup was because CFA was packed and people were in line to turn into it. Over a block long and the parking lot overflowed into a grass lot next to it. There were no protesters that I saw, only patrons. I put the pics on my fb page because I was damn proud of that traffic jam. We finally got through the jam at 11:11am. It should have taken less than 2 minutes to drive that stretch.
That is support!!!!

This with a Gay Mafia coerced media black out. There will be nothing of this on any major newscast nor pravda papers. However, i will bet anyone that when the gay mafia shows up with 8 fagots at one CFA somewhere will be the opening story and on the front page above the fold in all of the pravdas. PMSNBC will run the massive 8 fagot protest story non-stop all day and the entire weekend.

Yeah, the only station that will broadcast it is Fox News. The rest will remain silent. But, hey! They MSM were quick to report what the CEO said. That should tell you whose side they are one.

Chick-Fil-a WTF is going on.
They have caused traffic jams all over KC. I was driving around for busines today and twice got stuck in traffic for over thirty minutes due to extreme traffic caused by their crap. The authorites need to move this traffic on as its wrong to create a nuisance and safety issue for drivers.

Wait. The op says that chick-fil-a donates to groups that harm gay people. When did chick-fil-a donate to groups that lied by saying that you couldn't choose who you have sex with or that cover up higher incidences of STDs among homosexuals?

My local Chick-Fil-A at about 12:00. I was there around 10:30 hoping to beat the crowds. Was able to get through the drive-thru in about 15 minutes. About an hour later, one of our local talk radio hosts posted this picture. Glad I went earlier!

YouGov BrandIndex measurement scores range from 100 to -100 and are compiled by subtracting negative feedback from positive. A zero score means equal positive and negative feedback.
http://www.brandindex.com/article/chick-fil-takes-hit-fast-food-eaters
Every working day, YouGov interviews thousands of people from its panel of 2.5 million people worldwide online, collecting BrandIndex data that is nationally representative of adults in each country.
http://www.brandindex.com/about/how-does-brandindex-work
Basically it's an online survey/poll and we know how reliable those can be.

MARTINSBURG - Police and fire crews closed down the Chick-fil-A on Foxcroft Avenue in Martinsburg for nearly three hours following a bomb threat that was called in just before 1 p.m. today.
The caller mentioned that a "device" had been placed within the restaurant. The building was evacuated, but was deemed safe at about 3:45 p.m. after no bomb or any other type of device was discovered.

Crowds Stop Traffic to Appreciate Chick-Fil-A
Bigots with bigots!
They are hating having to admit that crowds are flocking to CFA. In this thread are the typical "I haven't set foot in a WalMart in 17 years" lies. You know they eat the CFA sandwiches, probably on their way home from stocking up on cheetoes at WalMart.
But the denials are fun to read.

My CFA bouncy:
So, today was allergy shot day during my lunch hour. So as I was driving along I noticed there seemed to be a higher volume of traffic on the road, which was a little weird, but I didn't think anything of it other than being annoyed that the clock was ticking and I needed to get there and back to work. I finally get to where I turn left to go into where the doctor's office is, and I looked to the right and just on the other side of the intersection there was a CFA. I had never paid much attention to that part of town and had never noticed that there was a CFA there and I probably wouldn't have except for all the damn cars trying to get there. I got my shot then drove back and went through the drive through at McDonald's since they weren't nearly as busy as CFA. I got back to work, clocked in with only seconds to spare, then snuck off and ate my burger. :-)

"Consumer sentiment" may not carry the import that the DUmmies and Homafia want to accord it. A large shift in the sentiment would be achieved by Leftists simply assertively responding to voice their vastly-increased hatred of a place they already wouldn't eat at because it has a well-known Christian bent. Like the issue of 'Registered Voters vs. Likely Voters" in political opinion polling, the real question is whether this number directly correlate to customers, or are they measuring something that doesn't actually matter.
-
I wish we had a Chik Fil A close by. The closest one is about 50 miles away and since I work 6 days a week I never get to eat there.

BOONE, NC (WBTV/WIS) -
The owner of the largest Wendy's restaurants franchise in the world showed his support for competitor Chick-fil-a with a message on some signs in the Carolinas.
WBTV has learned of at least one Wendy's sign in Columbia, South Carolina that read "We stand with Chick-fil-A" on Wednesday morning.

You can put that right at the government's feet too. McD's used to use a fry juice that had about 15% beef fat along with the vegetable fat. The federales said McDs would have to start calling them "Beef Fries". McDs changed the oil composition and boom goes the good taste.
0bama's Government is not the solution, 0bama's Government is the problem. not the only problem but about 92% of the problem.
DAT, "Homafia" so stolen and used everywhere shamelessly. HI5

10. Need to ban Chick Fil A under Obama health care. Its not fit for human consumption
The food is unhealth and needs to be banned. Do we have the right to do that during the 2nd term when we win.
Did they just tip their hand and admit they will be calling for "homophobic friendly" food (or any other food that doesn't fall in line with their agenda) to be banned under the guise of obamacare?

How is the homafia kiss in going today?
We don't have a Chick-Fil-A in our town but they are remodeling a former Burger King so we may. Why do is say "may"? We were the only county in kalifornia to vote against Prop 8 and the homafia are strong. They will do something to delay or stop the permits. Will keep you informed on the status of the intolerant totalitarian left.
