A new Chick-fil-Ation analysis that Fox Business News reports was complied by Newsweek (without actually linking to Newsweek’s article) finds a troubling increase in the price of a Christian-themed chicken sandwich from Lindsey Graham’s favorite joint has increased by 21 percent since 2021.
Fox Business cites the usual factors of ingredient costs and supply chain disruption as the root cause of the increase. However this raises the question of why Chick-fil-A didn’t just tell its largely conservative fanbase that it was because of Bidenomics and socialism that they needed to pass these costs along to customers or, better yet, tell them that they were just going to absorb those costs in contrast to woke fast food chains that are open on Sundays like McDonald’s or Taco Bell.
Shouldn’t a “faith-based” business have faith that they’d be able to recoup such losses on volume?
