You are on the wrong side.


It has been said, many times, the only bad press exposure is no press exposure. It still applies with today's media. All the exposure Chik-Fil-A is getting online (free) is something they could never buy. Every one who comments (on sites other than the company site), no matter which side of the imagined controversy, perpetrates Chik-Fil-A to take another trip to the bank with a bagful of money. It does not matter what is said, as long as something is said.

This writer does not know anything about Chik-Fil-A, do not know where one is nor have ever been in one and do not intend to go into one. In other words, they have absolutely no affect on my life. Nada. Nein. Zilch. Admittedly, this writer knows nothing about the issues surrounding this company. Do not care to know. Does not affect me. This writer has better things to do than waste brain cells being concerned about this companies policies or business practices. This writer has never spent a dime for their products nor ever intends to.

Point one: The truth is always in the eye of the beholder. In other words, you will believe what you want to believe. No matter who said what.

Point two: If you believe side A, you will never believe side B unless you are convinced you were wrong. And vice versus. Fat chance.

Point three: If you are or are not a customer and like its product and policies, good for you.

Point four: If you are or are not a customer and do not like its products and policies, good for you.

Fact one: If it is a bad company, puts out a bad product, it will die of natural causes. Does not matter what rumors you may believe.

Fact two: If it is a good company, puts out a good product, it will survive the bad times and flourish. Does not matter what rumors you may believe.

Fact three: The more you spread rumors, the more they like it. They cannot buy that type of exposure. They are very happy to have you working for them free of charge.

Fact four: This is the most important fact. No matter which side you are on, you are on the wrong side. Just ask the person next to you.

So STOP spreading rumors. If you have an honest opinion based on your personal experience, go to the appropriate company site and give it. They will appreciate it.

No Brag, Just Fact.
