I love how people think the food and the cleanliness of a restaurant is great... until they find out it's run by Christians. Then all of a sudden it sucks and the people are nutjobs.You people aren't even trying to pretend not to hate anymore.
The ant-Christian vitriol in here is incredible.
Being a non-Christian, I respect them a lot for not being open on Sundays for this reason. I remember working at McDonalds during my high school years and on Sundays, we'd have the church folk come in for their lunch and some of them would get high and mighty and start questioning why I'm working on a Sunday. On more than one occasion, I actually told them that if people like them didn't require us to work on Sunday to make and serve them food, I probably wouldn't have to work on Sunday. Hypocrites.But yes, it sucks living around here on Sundays. You either don't shop or have very little time to shop.There are a lot of us in the bible belt that have a gripe with them not being open on Sundays....that seems to be the day I crave it mostIn the stores around here, the only way you know it's "Christian owned" is because they are closed on Sunday. I don't think I've ever been in one and thought "man, I bet a Christian owns this place". It's not like they are playing church music, have crosses hanging everywhere etc.
How is that even remotely legal?
How is Augusta allowed to keep women out?
Why does Radio Shack ask for you phone number when you buy batteries?
What is wrong with it?
Why do some stores ask for your zip code when you buy something? What the hell does that have to do with anything?
Market Research. Tell them no. They won't like it, but you don't have to give it to them. If they insist, tell them you don't want to buy the product anymoreWhy do some stores ask for your zip code when you buy something? What the hell does that have to do with anything?
I can agree with this, but it still isn't that good. I'd still take Zaxby's firstKenny Powers said:

Nothing?You're seriously going to ridicule me and tell me to re-read, and when I do you're going to tuck your tail and run?Pathetic.Harry Manback said:sho nuff said:I love how people think the food and the cleanliness of a restaurant is great... until they find out it's run by Christians.

Ok now find me quotes of people bashing Christians.GO!
There used to be one at Coronado Mall in Albuquerque, but the mall management made them leave because they weren't open on Sundays. I know the location in far north Albuquerque does really well, and they are just a few hundred yards from Five Guys.Chaka said:

I think it is amazing how companies can make such a huge impact by treating their employees well. In retail establishments, it seems to me that it should be almost common sense. Whether it is In N Out who pays well above normal fast food pay rates, Starbucks giving medical insurance or Chick Fil-A giving college reimbursement, you can see the difference in the organizations ability to attract, retain and motivate quality people which then helps to create customer loyalty. I remember watching two different shows on Chick Fil-A. I do not remember all of the 'different' things that they do beyond the being closed on Sundays but I do remember having the impression that it would be a nice place to work.
You know, I think being closed on Sundays really makes a huge impact on the morale of the employees of the organization. Having been forced back into retail because of my job situation, I have had to work several holidays. Including Thanksgiving and Easter. That just sucks and when you do not pay your employees double time or something along those lines, it really can just make people hate their jobs. When you have employees who hate their jobs then you have significant operating problems because you will not be efficient or effective. Beyond the religious aspect of this, I look at it as a business decision that although may go against the normal tide of retail, actually provides some significant positives that lead to a competitive advantage.There are a lot of us in the bible belt that have a gripe with them not being open on Sundays....that seems to be the day I crave it most
Veggie Tales is also on normal TV on Sat or Sun mornings (no idea which, I just remember seeing it)FWIW, they do provide Veggie Tales items in their kids meals. That's a Christian cartoon series.There are a lot of us in the bible belt that have a gripe with them not being open on Sundays....that seems to be the day I crave it most
Sometimes I hate people.Edited to fix the part I actually meant to bold. How does it make sense for a person to feel that strongly about working on Sunday that they would make some comment to some poor person working on Sunday when they are the reason why there is a market and need for labor on that Sunday. If you do not believe people should work on Sundays then do not shop, eat out, get gas, call police, go to the hospital, etc on Sunday. Seriously.... some people are massive idiots.SlaX said:Being a non-Christian, I respect them a lot for not being open on Sundays for this reason.

If you work in a customer facing business the answers should be more like "I hate people".The vast majority are too consumed with themselves to take the slightest effort to be considerate for anyone else.Sometimes I hate people.SlaX said:Being a non-Christian, I respect them a lot for not being open on Sundays for this reason.

Shut up, I'm trying to read.
Yeah, luckily the networks show enough sinful content in the evening hours to cancel out that garbage.Veggie Tales is also on normal TV on Sat or Sun mornings (no idea which, I just remember seeing it)FWIW, they do provide Veggie Tales items in their kids meals.

<_< Hard to fault a man for allowing his lowest wage workers the privilege of spending sundays with their families (or watching the NFL, or whatever).And I'm one of the biggest religion haters there is.That and CHick Fil A is the bomb. I won't stop at a drive thru line of 5 cars or more. At chick fil A I'll get in a linbe of 30. Cuz You are out in 5 minutes. It's nuts.SlaX said:Being a non-Christian, I respect them a lot for not being open on Sundays for this reason.

Your definately missing something, Chick Fil-A is the best food ever.
It's pretty good for fast food, but this is uber-hyperbole.
It is the human condition really. Some people are better than others at not being complete jerk offs but we all have our times. Some are a whole lot worse than others. I worked in a lot of different branches while in banking. My last branch was the worse as far as people being too consumed with themselves. It was a downtown branch and about half of my clients were very wealthy professional types, mostly lawyers. The other roughly half were total ghetto.... two extremes and the worse of the worse as far as being consumed with themselves. Overall, I just try to expect the best and try to convert as many people to the 'light' of being half way decent human beings while dealing with others, so sometimes I hate people because it does not work all the time.
Talk about pathetic...you post 3 comments...as I said, very few people being uptight.Get over it.
So you couldn't find any attacks on Christians either huh?
That is, except for the insanely high sodium content.
