    That's becouse chik-fil-a has a hospititaly-first mentality, due to the
    need to convert people to thier religion.

    I've been a Chick-fil-a regular for many years and not once has anyone
    there
    even mentioned religion, let alone tried to convert me to theirs.

    Uh huh. And how many time's did you have chik-fil-a on Sunday? When was
    the last time you had a gay wedding at chick-fil-a?

    costs a few cents. Sure, each refill reduces the overall profit, but
    is it really enough to matter?

    That's not the issue, the issue is the labor involved.

    The customers are NOT paid to refill their cups. The labor, from McDonald's POV, is zero.

    That was exactly my point, you moron.

    I was fuming mad back in the 90's when they put them in, but now I think >>> I'll miss them,

    the only issue with self-serve soda is that the employee's are too
    retarded
    to rememeber to hand you yuor cup.

    Oh and how will this work with self-serve kiosk's, when the store is
    only
    tahking "to-go" orders, IOW, when the employee's are too lazy to wash
    the
    tray's and just serve the food in a bag and tell you you can sit down,
    but
    then they never wash the table's.

    And they still do more work in a day than you do in a
    week.

    Jerry foolishly posted what caused her [1] to get FIRED from
    McDonald's. She refused to wash anything.

    NO, I posted no such thing. I already posted year's ago the true reason why
    I left mcdonald's. this wasn't it.

    I was fuming mad back in the 90's when they put them in,

    Why? Self serve was a great idea. The customer didn't have to
    wait in a line for others to order their food just to get a refill.

    Now we just have to wait for the employee's to finish looking for her nail's on the floor while waiting for your drink.

    I hated self-serve when it came out, I admit, but now I prefer it. Customer service has severly decline at all store's in recent year's, it's just
    faster to get the drink personally then wait for an idiot teen to get it.

    That's becouse chik-fil-a has a hospititaly-first mentality, due to the >>> need to convert people to thier religion.

    I've been a Chick-fil-a regular for many years and not once has anyone
    there
    even mentioned religion, let alone tried to convert me to theirs.

    Uh huh. And how many time's did you have chik-fil-a on Sunday? When was the last time you had a gay wedding at chick-fil-a?

    (1) How does being closed one day of the week equate to converting people
    to their religion? "Oh no! It's Sunday and I can't have a spicy chicken sandwich. Looks like I'm gonna have to convert to Christianity," said no
    one ever.

    (2) As for gay weddings, I've never had one of those anywhere because I'm
    not gay, but even if I was, I'd like to think I'd have better taste than to have my wedding at a fast food outlet. I'd no sooner get gay-married at
    Taco Bell or McDonalds than I would at Chick-fil-a.

    And once again, the accusation was that Chick-fil-a tries to convert people
    to their religion, so how does not having gay weddings at Chick-fil-a restaurants convert anyone to Christianity? It makes no sense.

    That's not the issue, the issue is the labor involved.

    The customers are NOT paid to refill their cups. The labor, from
    McDonald's POV, is zero.

    That was exactly my point, you moron.

    Your NEED to lie isn't helping you. As anyone can see, you were
    crying about the labor the company incurs with self serve. Trying to
    use it as a means of giving your LIE more emphasis.
    If there is no labor for the company, why did you mention it as
    an negative? Be specific when you answer. Unless you want to admit, by
    default, that you were feeding your extremely well established NEED to
    lie. If you wish to admit this, you will either run away from the
    truth, or add more lies.

    Sounds like a company I'd like to do business with.

    You make it sound like it's a bad thing.

    Whether someone agrees with their religious views or not, they
    know the restaurant has every right to be closed on any day of the
    week wished. And they are not required to have any sort of wedding on
    the property.
    As a private entity on private property, both are 100% legal.
    People are equally free to NOT spend their money at Chick-Fil-A if
    they do not agree with the policies of the company.

    I'm already a member of the site. Though I spend more time in

    better than it already is.

    I am really invested in the story. I'm looking forward to seeing
    how it ends. Though I suspect it will become a series. An idea I find appealing.
