New Yorker Columnist Upset That ‘Creepy’ Christian Chick-fil-A Infiltrating The City

A writer for the New Yorker is really worried about the fact that a popular chicken sandwich chain is opening franchises in New York City. And it’s all because the owners of the company are Christians. This is evidence that most liberals have contempt for Christians. How else can it be interpreted?

Here’s an excerpt from the column:

Chick-fil-A’s Creepy Infiltration of New York City

During a recent lunch hour, I was alone on the rooftop of the largest Chick-fil-A in the world. The restaurant, on Fulton Street, is the company’s fourth in Manhattan, and it opened last month to the kind of slick, corporate-friendly fanfare that can only greet a new chain. The first hundred customers had participated in a scavenger hunt around the financial district. At an awards ceremony, the management honored them with a year’s supply of free chicken sandwiches and waffle fries.

There were no such prizes on offer when I visited, but from the fifth-floor terrace—on the top floor of the restaurant, which is twelve thousand square feet—I could see that the line to get inside stretched almost to the end of the block. An employee took orders on a touch screen and corralled people through the doors. The air smelled fried.

New York has taken to Chick-fil-A. One of the Manhattan locations estimates that it sells a sandwich every six seconds, and the company has announced plans to open as many as a dozen more storefronts in the city. And yet the brand’s arrival here feels like an infiltration, in no small part because of its pervasive Christian traditionalism. Its headquarters, in Atlanta, is adorned with Bible verses and a statue of Jesus washing a disciple’s feet.

Can you imagine this being written about any other religion?
