Chicken sandwiches used to be so much better. Now it occasionally feels like I'm biting into a tire. I don't understand this business strategy.

Its simple, capitalism treats the consumer like cattle, and the optimization of profit drives them to replace real quality products with cheaper and cheaper substitutes over time until you're expected to bite into that tire and go "wow, this chicken is delicious"

But I just stopped buying them instead.

Unfortunately, you're the minority.

Most people seem to as economic actors behave quite a lot like cattle, which is why treating them as cattle works...

I just broke into the fast food chain's headquarters to find the secret formula. Next year's recipe is going to be this between two buns:

rubber chicken

I don’t understand this business strategy.

You still bought it and they saved money. Profit!

Even the almighty Chick-fil-A has seemed lower quality the last 3-4 times I went. Used to never get chewy chicken from them.

Maybe one day you'll stop hating gay people too.

They recently stopped donating to anti-LGBTQ orgs, for what it's worth.

[–] KillAllPoorPeople -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They've said that every single time they've been called out for their actions before. If you support them, you hate gay people. End of discussion.

As a gay person with plenty of unrelated self-loathing, that tracks

Could be the supply chain or that location? The only chicken sandwiches that are worth are CFA and MCD.

I was a bit impressed with the one I had from Fatburger on the weekend. Since I'm allergic to beef, I eat a lot of chicken sandwiches, and it was better than most.
