UPDATE: According to Debbie Davis they reduced their order by 25% yesterday (from 200 to 150) and as a result they sold out more quickly (noon instead of 1 or 2PM). Does not seem that boycott has had a significant effect thus far.
The Chick-Fil-A Boycott is heating up like woah. Today some dudes sat outside the Grind with signs (Cows 4 equality, etc.) and a petition. Mike Fritsch told me not to buy any as I walked in, but really I was just getting the new copy of
The Point News I (even though it's an evil newspaper full of lies and slander) so I think they were avoiding yelling at people.
Anyway, at this point we have the original boycott
event on Facebook with 257 attending, and a 'Boycott the Chick-Fil-A Boycott'
event right here with 113 attendees.
WHO WILL WIN?!
Well it seems like the Daily Grind will probably cave to pressure and change providers, assuming a replacement of some sort is found. They are very open to discussing the issue with students, and I wouldn't be surprised if they stop selling it by March.
Anyway a cool thing is that the discourse has been for the most part civil (especially in the part of the organizers on both sides)
Anyways, dear readers, what do you think? What would you want as an alternative? My
previous post had a lot of great discussion in the comments.
