I am glad that you think I make a "fascinating argument" but you clearly misstate or misunderstand my post (which was responding to someone who said she can just get another job - in theory yes, in reality no). Apology accepted. No hard feelings.

Like her or not this girl is a working contributing member of society (or at least she was, until you all got her fired), unlike the thugs who wear badges and deprive people of their constitutional rights.

Hahahah...you should go work for the Onion

I've boycotted Chik-Fil-A because of its support for Focus On The Family, which pursues policies that cause real harm to people. I don't eat Nutella (which I love) because the palm oil is not sustainably sourced to the best of my knowledge. But I'm not going to boycott a major chain because of one minimum-wage employee who was already fired. Duh.

That said, Subway is my least-favorite chain - I come from a place where local delis still thrive, so a place like Subway with its nasty bread and its sub-par lunch meats isn't even a viable option in my eyes. I haven't eaten there in nearly 20 years.

I do not care much for Subway these days just because their sandwiches always taste so bland. And their restauarants tend to be cold and uninviting.

But on a serious note, she should be fired for her inappropriate rants. What she believes and does on her time is one thing, but on company time, in uniform is another.

But to boycott Subway based on the actions of one ignorant employee is not necessary.

Rather then make a stupid comment like that, why don't you try to take issue with what I said? I don't think you can, because you know damn well that everything I said in that post was the truth.

Yes, I'm bitter that you police apologists are destroying a 239 year history of freedom in this country, by supporting these jackbooted government thugs, who are violating people's constitutional rights every minute of the day.

I boycott Chik-Fil-A too for that same reason. The Chik-Fil-A boycott has a lot more steam. Chik-Fil-A is never going to be big on the West Coast under the current ownership. That crap might work in the South, but not in the West. When I lived in California, plans for a local Chik-Fil-A were killed in the planning process, due to traffic concerns. Most of the opposition came from the LGBT community. They came from all over the Bay Area to voice their concerns about traffic at that intersection. LOL.
