I can see where customers could and most likely will act as though each Chik-fil-A employee is either str8, anti-gay marraige, or just a plain old bigot. Mankind has for ever been able to place their own beliefs and likes and dislikes on others.
My question is specific. Does Chik-fil-A have some operational proceedure that encourages hate? Does it encourage its employees to say, do or act in some way Steve Cammett felts was anithetical to decent behavior. As the story reads, it was a customer who was reprehensible. I read nothing that backed up Mr.Cammett’s view that Chik-fil-A had become a ‘safe place to hate.’ He seems to have made a name by checking out when he could have spoken up against that customer. Oh well, another flash point for people who do not think, or ask the questions that need to be asked.

Harassment by third parties is actionable under federal law and if management tolerates it then they are liable. So yes it is a safe place to hate – for now. Eventually their love of the Almighty Dollar will triumph over their love of the Almighty. They are lucky they don’t have shareholders or it would have happened already.

I must have taken a wrong turn at the Andromeda Galaxy. The Intergalactic travel guide said this planet was a garden paradise with friendly natives.

@tidalpool: “Does Chik-fil-A have some operational proceedure that encourages hate?” Yes. It comes from Dan Cathy himself. What you might call a “trickle down” situation. The owner and CEO of Chick-fil-A donates millions of dollars to anti-gay hate groups. This undoubtedly gives some of his employees, not all, the feeling that their bigotry of The Gays will be tolerated. It is. I’ve heard several former employees of this restaurant corroborate Mr. Cammett’s story. In reference to your criticism of Cammett not speaking up when he heard a customer make a derogatory comment about gay people I would say this: if you work in an environment that is homophobic, oftentimes one doesn’t feel safe to challenge such things. I was in a similar situation many years ago at a job and I stayed silent, knowing that I would be fired if I said anything. It was the worst feeling in the world but luckily that’s in the past.

Some little NOM intern will come on here pretending to be one of us and post something stupid.
