The article begins with a respectful announcement of S. Truett Cathy's death this morning and assures the readers of peaceful passing. As the article progresses, it touches points of how the popular chain first started with "serving left over chicken" to a booming business that even has surpasses KFC in sales(not surprised, KFC ain't that great). It's enlightening to know a greatly powerful business Chik Fil A has grown so much, but still remains family owned. It has been known that Cathy has given his son control of the business.
I honestly had no idea or knowledge on the corporate side of Chik Fil A and hadn't thought much of the company since their last scandal with the LGBT community with the company's views being heavily conservative and religious. I guess it's a moment of respect to be due towards Mr. Cathy, a man starting his own business out of nothing but giblets and leftover chicken. His success is highly inspiring and shows that great American "I can do it" spirit. I'm sure anyone can read this article, maybe not a drag queen or someone who still has beef with Chik Fil A's LGBT drama (hehe get it..beef..chicken..); but the language of food is universal...unless you are a vegetarian, but that's besides the point. This article has only paid respect to a very influential and powerful man who took the quote "if life gives you lemons, make some lemonade" to heart and created a multi-million company. "Don't dismiss the importance of making fun a priority."~ S. Truett Cathy

I hope that the quality of the product will not go down when a new CEO is appointed, his footsteps will be hard to follow.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with the politics of the company, but they make really good food and I hope that that doesn't change. I am very sorry to hear of this passing.

ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see that such a large company has remained in the hands of a family. Hopefully in light of the passing of the CEO, the quality remains the same.

Even with his passing, I expect his family to maintain the standard he has set for their business and even improve on matters either unmentioned or unsolved. -Mackenzie McGregor, 6th period
ReplyDeleteI hope even with his death that chick-fil-a continues to hold true to conservative, christian standards and I wouldn't call it a scandal with the LGBT community. people these days have a really hard time because they confuse disagreement with lifestyle choice with judgement of the human being.
