Essentia Health in Duluth, Minnesota, thought it would be nice to treat their staff at St. Mary's Medical Center with free lunch last Tuesday.
There was only one problem with that free lunch: It was Chick-fil-A.
Yup, apparently up in Northern Minnesota they get super offended over delicious chicken sandwiches. Here's what Essentia Health's VP for Regional Operations, Tammy Kritzer, wrote in an email to staff after blowback about the free lunch:
We have received feedback from some colleagues who were concerned or offended by this occurrence, and we value colleagues feeling comfortable expressing their reservations …
We would like to thank our colleagues who had the courage to speak up to widen our lens of inclusivity, and we appreciate all colleagues continuing to live our values of respect and justice.
Kritzer said the free lunch was "not intended to endorse a business or business practices," and that "situations such as these are an important reminder to consider all viewpoints."
She's serious.
Chick-fil-A.
All of this because of some free Chick-fil-A!!
Apparently they still think the best chicken sandwich on Earth is anti-gay or something. They're delusional for thinking so. Chick-fil-A doesn't even donate to those organizations it was once chided for donating to. So they're just a chicken sandwich shop that's closed on Sundays.
This is what we're getting offended over in 2024.
FREE CHICKEN SANDWICHES!
