Why?! We have lots of places that have much better food than a corporate fast food chain. And as a bonus, your money won't be spent to dehumanize people in our community.

I still see lineups for that place when I pass it on the bus. I'm amazed so many people are willing to line up for greasy fast food in sweltering heat and give money to a company that has poured millions upon millions of dollars to attack LGBTQ+ people just to shove chicken into their face.
I don't always agree with you, but this is on point. I really don't get it, so many people in our society are corporate sheep.
Whether I agree with it or not, I understand the not caring about what the corporation's beneficiaries do with their profits. I get the "I just need a quick meal while traveling, and I don't know where to go but this is familiar", or even the "I just need dinner quick and this is open and close"....even I go to subway on occasion. But I just cannot comprehend the excitement over even better than average fast food. We have lots of local restaurants in the region that make great food including fried chicken. I get excited about real restaurants, not corporate chains whose main competitive advantage is that they are able to build a supply chain to scale their service continent wide (which has absolutely no benefit to local people in KW). It just makes no sense to me.
