Chick-fil-a Support Day and Free Speech

[barbino]

Who else went to the Mike Huckabee-sponsored Chick-fil-a Support Day today (Wednesday)? I went with a group from church & we stood in line for 2 hours in the hot sun. The police were there just in case because there were so many cars and people. The drive-thru was packed.

I've never had a meal there before, and the salads, chicken sandwiches, waffle fries, and brownies were wonderful. I was really impressed by the service. They brought ice water in cups out to the crowd that was in line! They waited on the two older women who were with us and took their money, ordered their food, and served it to them. There were tons of employees checking to see how everyone was doing & if they needed anything. Overall, I was really impressed with the company and its employees.

It seemed that not all who went were against gay marriage, but everyone backed free speech. This day was a way to show support for the company's chief executive Don Cathy's right to speak about just what he believed in -- a right protected by the US Constitution (the first amendment).
