Fuck chilis and fuck chic fil a, I have never ordered either and will never order either
Oh come on! It’s not ‘personal values’ or 'lifestyle values’. They are just following current medical standards for what should be done against body dysphoria.
A medical decision backed by current science.
Damn, no more southwest eggrolls for this family I guess.
Try this one.
Bookmarked.
The casual dining chain, which is owned by publicly traded Brinker International, professes to believe in “a culture of belonging,” telling job applicants that it welcomes “those of all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, religions, age and backgrounds.”
“We celebrate these differences through a culture of belonging where individual strengths and stories are respected and valued,” ChilisJobs.com asserts. “We’re proud to be a community-oriented meeting place and want everyone to feel welcome at Chili’s.”
I don’t understand the utility of proclaiming your company to be a bastion for the people you clearly hate. Why entice them to become employees just to fire them? And in firing them, receive a tidal wave of bad press and probable lawsuits? 🤷
One thing you need to understand about chain restaurants is that they are not all micromanaged by a central corporation. They are franchises. Usually, a franchisee pays for a license and owns one or more stores in a region. They have certain standards they need to meet to fulfill their franchise requirements, but small day-to-day decisions about how to run the store are up to them. Chili’s corporate might espouse all those values they list in their talking points (though I’ve personally seen companies turn their values on a dime when they think it is hurting their bottom-line). But they probably have very limited, if any direct input on hiring/firing decisions at a single restaurant. At most, they might step in and pressure the franchise owner to reverse this decision if they think it hurts the brand image.
It’s a kind of rainbow washing. Under Capitalism, queer money is still money, so they’ll happily take that while pushing us under the bus at every meaningful opportunity.
Maybe there’s more to the story than the article is telling us.
so chili is not so spicy, it ha to adhere to bland taste of right wingers.
It’s shit “food” too.
Why would a massively corporate chain have personal values and lifestyles? Just sell your shitty burgers.
Because an expensive consultant sold the idea to them.
Monday, I drove my wife and youngest to Omaha to adopt a puppy (golden retriever). We were going to eat at Chili’s because at least it’s a known food. Well, the person we were getting the dog from was available early, so we did drive through.
Fucking bullet dodged.

Don’t associate pictures of your children with your anonymous profile!
Oh, well I haven’t eaten at Chili’s in about 20 years, but I was just talking about going again last week.
Guess I’m not going to do that…
At $60 to $70 for 2 people to eat out? Fuck that.
When a person’s comfort is on display we all get to see what decade they are still living in.
i have a feeling the food isnt good, ive seen other similar chains inflate thier prices.
Texas Roadhouse family meals (takeout only tho) is where it’s at. Near me it’s $60 for 4 steaks (28oz total), 2 1lb sides, about a dozen rolls, salad. Or $50 for the same but with 24 chicken tendies instead of steak.
Gotta agree. You can get so much food there for a reasonable amount of money.
Just did this recently, would recommend.
personal values
Meaning you’re not a fundamentalist extremist christofascist. That is a compliment, actually, even though they don’t know it
Lifestyle
Yes, I too would do multiple very expensive and very painful operations and god knows how many therapy sessions for fun, because that’s my style, baby!
I’ve always hated the “lifestyle” argument.
Existing isn’t a fucking lifestyle.
My expectation of “edible food” doesn’t align with what Chili’s offers, which is why I don’t go there. Everyone has their beliefs, I suppose.
I always see stories like this and I think to myself I can’t even boycott them because I wasn’t eating there already. Not that I can really afford to eat out anywhere though…
I guess this is how I learn that Chili’s is actually still in business
Too easy to boycott.
So easy, I’ve been accidentally boycotting them for decades.
Based on this thread, it sounds like people with enough brainpower to know what pronouns are don’t eat there anyway, so this might actually make Chile’s money.
Unfortunately, you might actually be right.
a trans man who was assigned female at birth
Isn’t that what “trans man” means?
I guess they could be intersex? But mostly probably just to make the article accessable to boomers which I think is a fine thing to do.
And it’s okay if they ain’t intersex, because havin’ a low lerbido or being uh-sexual ain’t no big deal, neither.

Exactly what kind of sex is going on at Chili’s? Anything I should know?
Is it getting into the food???
Judging by the restaurant staff I’ve known, a lot. Those people fuck more than porn stars.
