My Pleasure!

I recently read an article by a homeschool father in Ga. that is now a chair on the Public Service Comission for Georgia matter what your stand is on concerning the whole Chic-Fil-A situation. The article covered a few facts that, no Gay rights, are impressive but have been completely over looked throughout this whole battle.
The article reads...



" The mayors of Chicago and Boston have said they'll do all they can, to keep Chick-fil-A franchises from opening in their cities. Besides making a bad culinary decision, this knee-jerk political reaction will have the unintended consequence of hurting local charities, teens and orphans.
Let me explain.
First, let's talk about what working at Chick-Fil-A does for teenagers. Of their 60,000-employee workforce, 80 percent are less then 21 years old. This is a company that gets these young people to say " It's my pleasure" on cue whenever a customer says any version of " Thank You"
This is no small feat. I know, because I have seven kids, and four of them have worked for the company.
This respect, an accompanying work ethic, and career opportunities are desperately needed in every city, but especially cities like Chicago, with one of the largest gang populations in the country."
