Why would a massively corporate chain have personal values and lifestyles? Just sell your shitty burgers.
Because an expensive consultant sold the idea to them.
I always see stories like this and I think to myself I can’t even boycott them because I wasn’t eating there already. Not that I can really afford to eat out anywhere though…
Too easy to boycott.
So easy, I’ve been accidentally boycotting them for decades.
Based on this thread, it sounds like people with enough brainpower to know what pronouns are don’t eat there anyway, so this might actually make Chile’s money.
Unfortunately, you might actually be right.
I guess I’ll continue to never patronize a Chili’s. Wtfuck is “Chili’s” any way? Is it someone’s nickname? Do they have a chili that owns things?
Imagine if there was a place that served shit for food. But then, blend in a bit of cumin, some smoked paprika, chile powder, and corn in with the shit.
Thats a chiles.
OK, so what’s Chili’s?
No, you’re confused. Chili owns you, whether you’re an employee or customer. You belong to them. Chili’s. Eat fresh
Much like how Nigerian Prince emails use bad grammar and spelling to filter out people with half a brain, they’re using the stupid name as a way to filter out folks who won’t pay $30/ea to eat garbage in a room that smells like a dirty rag.
I guess this is how I learn that Chili’s is actually still in business
Were they a fascist pedophile?
I haven’t been in a Chili’s in forever, and I don’t expect to go again. So I’m going to avoid everything from Brinker International [NYSE: EAT] now (Chili’s and Maggiano’s Little Italy), and I’m thinking that I might sell some of it short too.
so chili is not so spicy, it ha to adhere to bland taste of right wingers.
It’s shit “food” too.

The casual dining chain, which is owned by publicly traded Brinker International, professes to believe in “a culture of belonging,” telling job applicants that it welcomes “those of all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, religions, age and backgrounds.”
“We celebrate these differences through a culture of belonging where individual strengths and stories are respected and valued,” ChilisJobs.com asserts. “We’re proud to be a community-oriented meeting place and want everyone to feel welcome at Chili’s.”
I don’t understand the utility of proclaiming your company to be a bastion for the people you clearly hate. Why entice them to become employees just to fire them? And in firing them, receive a tidal wave of bad press and probable lawsuits? 🤷
One thing you need to understand about chain restaurants is that they are not all micromanaged by a central corporation. They are franchises. Usually, a franchisee pays for a license and owns one or more stores in a region. They have certain standards they need to meet to fulfill their franchise requirements, but small day-to-day decisions about how to run the store are up to them. Chili’s corporate might espouse all those values they list in their talking points (though I’ve personally seen companies turn their values on a dime when they think it is hurting their bottom-line). But they probably have very limited, if any direct input on hiring/firing decisions at a single restaurant. At most, they might step in and pressure the franchise owner to reverse this decision if they think it hurts the brand image.
It’s a kind of rainbow washing. Under Capitalism, queer money is still money, so they’ll happily take that while pushing us under the bus at every meaningful opportunity.
Maybe there’s more to the story than the article is telling us.
Damn, no more southwest eggrolls for this family I guess.
Try this one.
Bookmarked.
Exactly what kind of sex is going on at Chili’s? Anything I should know?
Is it getting into the food???
Judging by the restaurant staff I’ve known, a lot. Those people fuck more than porn stars.
Line cooks are way uglier than porn stars.
Line cooks tend to be degenerates. The best kind of degenerates.
If Chili’s actually gave a shit about “personal values” they wouldn’t be able to hire cooks. Some might pass a drug test because they’re on supervision, but not a single one is going to pass a morality screening.

If you lock your keys in your car a line cook can probably get you into it and sell you a dime bag too.
Fuck chilis and fuck chic fil a, I have never ordered either and will never order either
a trans man who was assigned female at birth
Isn’t that what “trans man” means?
They gotta dumb it down for people, it’s a good thing for informing.
I guess they could be intersex? But mostly probably just to make the article accessable to boomers which I think is a fine thing to do.
And it’s okay if they ain’t intersex, because havin’ a low lerbido or being uh-sexual ain’t no big deal, neither.

If you just say “trans man” at a bunch of people, a significant portion of them will think you mean “a man who has decided they are trans and wants to be a woman”. Because recognizing the gender someone identifies as is catering to their delusion or whatever bigots tell themselves to get by.
Before all the recent hullabaloo in recent years, I couldn’t remember which meant which way - because I could give two fucks - just let them be who they are.
Now I’ve had to learn a lot (which I don’t resent learning) so I can help stand up for their rights, and it’s really easy to remember. But it’s sort of like “biweekly” or “semiweekly” before you actually pay attention - both of those terms mean both something that happens twice per week or once every other week (although I tihnk biweekly more strongly implies twice per week, but it can absolutely be used for both).
I suppose that’s true that even people who aren’t necessarily bigots can struggle to understand what being trans is. My boomer parents aren’t transphobic, but they do struggle with the concept that when a person realizes they’re trans it retroactively means that they were always the gender they currently go by, even if they themselves didn’t know it at the time. I got into an argument with my dad when he kept calling the child of someone he knew “he” when talking about her in the past before she came out as trans. I tried to explain that, no, she was a she then as well, but didn’t know it herself and presented as a he, but he just didn’t get it.
I have a girlfriend who is trans and I knew her in the “before time” before she transitioned. When she talks about when she was a kid she refers to herself as “when I was a little girl”.
She was always a girl.
It must be so confusing for those kids. Their society, parents, relatives tell them one thing. But in their head they know they are another. My heart goes out to them.
Yeah. I’m married to a non binary person (we’re Poly, hence the girlfriend) and they didn’t change their name or gender markers until after we were married. But them describing to me about their childhood, their parents (who I adore but still struggle with the whole gender thing) and everything… Seeing their baby pictures they’re like “THAT’S NOT A GIRL! THAT’S TOTALLY IN BETWEEN!” and they’re right.
I’m just happy they can truly be themselves with me.
In the defense of your father that could also be down to how his brain categorizes things. Just as an example for myself, the actor Elliot Page technically has two different “entries” in my brain which if I could verbalize would be something along the lines of Ellen Page = Dead override Elliot Page = Alive, why is my brain doing it like that? Who knows, it’s probably the autism, but it does keep me from dead naming him.
Monday, I drove my wife and youngest to Omaha to adopt a puppy (golden retriever). We were going to eat at Chili’s because at least it’s a known food. Well, the person we were getting the dog from was available early, so we did drive through.
Fucking bullet dodged.
