Essay On Chick-Fil-A

People have differing views regarding the characteristics of a great restaurant. For me, a restaurant should serve quality food. In addition, it should be kept clean and tidy. Perhaps most importantly, a restaurant should have a staff that provides amazing service. According to these criteria, Chick-fil-A is a great restaurant. Serving great food is the goal of every restaurant, and Chick-fil-A hits that mark every time.

Furthermore, this does not sit well with many people, as it is seen as taking a stance politically. Nowadays, companies state their views on politics in an attempt to attract certain demographics, which is odd to see from the food industry. While Chick-fil-A probably isn’t playing a political game, the choice to stand by the founder’s original values is sometimes viewed as such and consequentially is portrayed
