Mikhaela Houston alerts us that a Chick-fil-A is under construction on Providence Highway, near the Ocean State Job Lot - and the West Roxbury line, which would mark the chain's closest approach to Boston since it was banned here (first by Northeastern and then by the city) for being owned by homophobes.
It's just up the road a bit from where the Hooters is going in where Bugaboo Creek used to be, by one of the entrances to Legacy Place.
The only way it could get closer to Boston would be to take over some space in the self-storage place that is right on the Dedham/Boston line.

Violating labor laws is another.
Forcing your employees to join christian prayers violates labor laws.
Firing gay people or non christians violates labor laws.
Paying women less than men violates labor laws.
Opinions are like assholes

Everybody has one
Agreed. I didn't know the owner did this.
Didn't know he did this either, but I do know there are openly gay people working for Chick Fil A.
Yeah, so will you be delivering Senator Warren her pink slip?
You get to have your own opinion...

And now that you know they do?
And in many states, they can be legally fired because they're gay.
Are you interested in facts?
OK from your own source:

Same source 'counters' with the following:
In other words: Sure she paid women less, but that's because the men on her staff did more work and/or had higher titles than women. Meaning, Warren disproportionally hires men over women at key (higher) staff positions, and that's why the men are paid more.
And that's okay with her supporters?
Chick Fil A (good eating)

I'm interested reading folks' rave reviews of ChickFilA food. I would rarely get them in younger days because there weren't many near where I usually went - two within about 15-20 miles of my home, ~25-35 years ago. I had them once or twice and remember them as being outstandingly... ordinary. Chicken patty on a bun, pretty plain. Have they upgraded their menu since?
Now, if someone would open a White Castle around here - that would be great.

White Castle's fries are okay

White Castle's fries are okay, chicken rings & bites & I think they had fish bites are pretty good.
Their burgers have gone down in quality compared to a couple of decades ago. Somewhere along the line they started calling their stuff sliders instead of just being their own thing. I think they lost a little of that je ne sais quoi that made them alluring. You wouldn't want them too often, but sometimes you'd just have that craving for a sackfull - one part hot greasiness and two parts quirkiness (small square patties with the holes, cooked on the griddle with a layer of onions, small enough that you buy them in multiples of two). Especially a late night sort of thing.
Come to think of it, I wonder when they (like so many other chains) switched their deep fryers to "healthier" instead of fat.
They're pretty darned good.

I'm a nugget guy, so I cannot vouch for the sandwiches. They do serve the best nuggets of the major fast food people. The fries are great, mainly because they are waffle cut instead of straight. And, though some people will winch to read this, the staff tend to be really nice. Like, scarily nice.
Would I drive 50 miles for it? No, but sometimes I have the hankering and head up to Burlington. I wouldn't do the same for Sonic in Peabody.
Yes, they are.

Yes, they are.
The nuggets and fries (and basically everything else) are higher quality than any other fast food chain.
And the chicken sandwiches (which they claim to have invented) aren't a patty on a bun. They're actually a breaded chicken breast on a bun, with pickles. It's not a formed patty like you get everywhere else, so each sandwich is different, like you would make at home.
And their breakfast is even better than the rest of the menu. Hands down the best fast food breakfast you could ever find anywhere.
As to upgrading the menu... they actually have changed their menu remarkably little over the years. Some new fancier, 'healthier' things have been added, but the staples have remained.
