You read that correctly. I said it right here on the Interwebs.You probably already know that Chick-fil-A is delicious but is Chick-fil-A anti-Semitic?

The High Holy Days remind me of my first official “job.” I was 14 and my mom brought me to the mall to find a this first job. McDonalds was only paying minimum wage at the time ($3.25) and Chick-fil-A was able to beat it at $4.00 an hour. Big bucks… Chick-fil-A won my services.

Its important to point out that I was a bit of a momma’s boy. My mother would, let’s say, mettle in my Chick-fil-A comings and goings. She’d call the manager trying to get me more hours… she’d call the manager trying to get me time off… and so on.

So, on Rosh Hashanah my mother told me, that I’d better get off for Yom Kippur the following week because we had seats (a big deal) at temple. At the time I was what I’d refer to as a “High Holy Day J” – a Jew that only goes to temple on the High Holy Days – so it was important that I get out of work.

When I asked the manager for the day off he said, “Corey, if you don’t come in next week, then don’t bother coming back.” So, basically I was fired right there on the spot. The truth of the matter was that the policy was to ask 2 weeks in advance for days off…this was only one week. Also, my mother had been a pain in the ass… so I guess I was kind of asking for it. Still the fact remains, I was fired because I could not work on Yom Kippur…therefore, I was fired from Chick-fil-A for being Jewish.

I’d like to point out a couple of things about Chick-fil-A just to stir the pot…

Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy is a devout Southern Baptist who has taught Sunday School for over 44 years and whose religious beliefs permeate the company to this day. The company’s official statement of corporate purpose says that the business exists “to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us and to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.” Cathy’s beliefs are also responsible for one of the chain’s distinctive features: All Chick-fil-A locations (company-owned and franchised, whether in a mall or freestanding) are closed on Sundays.

In all honesty, this S. Truett Cathy character sounds like a stand up guy who practices what he preaches. Recently, two young girls caused $30,000 worth of damage to his home and he worked out a deal with the girls’ parents to not press charges.

In any case, worry not Chick-fil-A… I won’t be suing you (besides the statute of limitations ran out a long time ago). The honest truth is that Chick-fil-A…. is fantastic. It is easily the best tasting fast food restaurant…and it might actually be the healthiest. I go there (specifically the one I was fired from) more often then any other fast food restaurant.

So, if you are going to support one anti-Semitic fast food chain…why not make it Chick-fil-A? I believe you can get “The Holocaust is a Hoax” value meal. It includes the “Greedy Money-Lending Nuggets,” “Jew Run Media Fries” and you can wash it down with a “Barbra Streisand Sucks Large Size Cola.”
