I dearly love their nuggets but I can't stand the people who run the organization and what they do with their money. It's been really hard because I've been eating them since I was like 10, but I've actually been abstaining from Chick-fil-A. Haven't had any this year. I've really been fighting the urge, sigh. The only junk food I am more addicted to is McDonald's FF and Dunkin Donuts. No DD out west just about drove me insane. Not that there aren't a few good donuts out there, but I'm a Dunkin Donut's person all the way. It's ultra hard giving up your favorite treats when they conflict with your politics but I'm getting to the point where I can't just ignore some things. What Chick-fil-A does with their money is their business I suppose, but I just can't stand the idea of some of my money going for some of the things they support.

Nobody thinks twice that many retail stores are closed on Sundays or that some offices give their staff a week off at Christmas time or during the summer. But B&H closes every Sabbath and for a week here or there for their staff to have their religious holidays and people don't seem to get the reason for that.
When I lived in NYC I used to volunteer to work certain days so people could have off for whatever holiday they needed to go and celebrate. I took vacation when it was convenient for everyone, not just for me. Not having a husband and kids or being particularly religious I didn't much care. The only holiday I ever wanted off was Halloween and while they always thought that was funny they always let me have it off because I was so obliging otherwise most of the time...
I don't buy from them often, can't afford to, but it makes sense I think to check the holiday schedule first. They're actually open on days other stores might not be though, so it all works out in the end really.
