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? 🤷
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.
Why would a massively corporate chain have personal values and lifestyles? Just sell your shitty burgers.
Damn, no more southwest eggrolls for this family I guess.
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…
Oh, well I haven’t eaten at Chili’s in about 20 years, but I was just talking about going again last week.
Guess I’m not going to do that…
At $60 to $70 for 2 people to eat out? Fuck that.
My expectation of “edible food” doesn’t align with what Chili’s offers, which is why I don’t go there. Everyone has their beliefs, I suppose.
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 this is how I learn that Chili’s is actually still in business
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?
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.
No, you’re confused. Chili owns you, whether you’re an employee or customer. You belong to them. Chili’s. Eat fresh
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?
Were they a fascist pedophile?
