Chick-fil-a charges full price for a sandwich so tiny it would be considered child size anywhere else. Hardee's is a sister chain of Carl's Jr., which famously bragged that they were moving out of California and into Texas in order to escape having to pay a living wage with basic benefits.
The Chick Fil-A chicken sandwich is just as large - and with a thicker, higher quality chicken patty - as its major competitors. Are you sure you're not confusing it with something else (Chick-n-mini's?). Regardless, the company clearly deserves respect for its willingness to stand up for what is right, as opposed to what is popular or politically correct.
That, they don't deserve respect for. That kind of stuff, what's right is in the customers eye. I would never tell my customers about any belief of mine that doesn't relate to my business. God forbid I offend a customer- they won't give me their money under such a circumstance!
Chick Fil-A might be standing up, but IMHO, not for what's right. Too many life experiences have taught me that what Chick Fil-A stands for, is so very wrong.

I only mentioned about them closing on Sundays because, again IMHO, that would preclude them from being an Amtrak food supplier because Amtrak would need food 7 days a week.
Your screen name not only gives you anonymity, but given the topic here, makes me think you are somehow associated with Green Maned Coffee (aka Green Mountain Coffee).
Knowing this place? I'd give it half a day before the forum program put one of those "HOT" stickers next to the thread.I wonder how many posts there would be in a thread announcing Amtrak had switched vendors for salt & pepper?

No, I agree with you mostly (I say mostly because I don't know all of their opinions). I find it ironic that it is the fire and brimstone types who feel the strongest about this stuff. My view of god is a kindly, understanding, patient and merciful one.
But not one that would take kindly to people waving His flag and name around the concepts of bigotry, intolerance, and human suffering. If I believed in hell, I'd hope such people went straight to it.
And by "what is right," you mean incessant gay bashing, correct? Because that's what Chic Fil-A has made one of its missions. The other being better than average chicken. Too bad they can't be better than average citizens too.
Yes it will. We are now carrying two types of cups. The "regular" 12oz cups for tea, hot chocolate, and hot water, or coffee for business class or crew. These will still be $2, unless comped. The new 14oz cups will sell for $3 ($3.50 on the Acela), and can not be comped or used for hot tea/chocolate/water, unless you want to pay $3.
It's honestly been ages since I visited a Chick-fil-a firsthand. Originally it was because their sandwiches were tiny and a poor value for a fast food restaurant. After their founder made some discriminatory comments I was curious to see what the business itself had to say. Originally they said that anyone and everyone was welcome in their stores, which I believe to be true, however it was also investigated and reported that the business had been quietly funding discriminatory groups and activists for many years and that kind of sealed the door for me. That's not a problem when you're selling food in a place like Texas. In fact Chick-fil-a's sales skyrocketed in response to their founder's comments and funding revelations down here. However, such divisive positions and initiatives would seem to be a poor match for a pro-inclusion and anti-discrimination business like Amtrak.
McDonald's in Japan is leagues ahead of McDonald's in the US.
Yeah - I don't get where it might be an issue unless you're talking about late at night when fewer people are ordering coffee. I see them poured from traditional glass coffee pots and not from large commercial urns. That's usually gone within 5-8 minutes in mornings but even 15 minutes in late afternoon.
