  • People started snapping their fingers in acclamation.

    Fuck Chick-fIl-A but if this happened to me I would walk out and never come back. Absolutely caucasian behavior

    • Was at a DSA meeting where one of the guys snapped his fingers as applause and all I could think was "Weird".

      I do like the fucking Atlantic doing "NYT Too Woke for Chicken Sandwich!" within two sentences of a guy leading in with "I bet this pack of poors doesn't know how to appreciate a $19 Salmon Bagel".

      Dude should have been pitched off the side of the fucking building.

    • Crustacean behavior

  • There are inception-level layers of internalized antisemitism here.

    -my actual favorite sandwich is too Jewish

    • I need to come up with another sandwich -but it can’t be too expensive
    • or too cheap
    • guess I’ll pick the culture war chicken -time to blame my coworkers for being too woke.

  • "Of course $19 is very expensive for a sandwich, so I only get it as a special treat."

    There, I just fixed your problem without you having to endorse the homophobic chicken.

    • Even better, there's nothing saying he had to fucking name a place he got his sandwiches from

      He could've been like "yeah I love me a fish sandwich" (I looked it up and fuck does this Super Heebster sound kinda awful) and if anyone asked him to elaborate he could've specified like a tuna salad or something

      But nah this guy is so American treat brained he had to specifically name a place and sandwich name

      • I looked it up and fuck does this Super Heebster sound kinda awful)

        This prompted me to look it up and it sounds amazing to me tbh. In fact, everything from this place looks great and now I want to go. But yeah, he can just say he likes smoked fish bagel sandwiches from Jewish delis and probably everyone in that room would get it.

    • also, this was specifically "favorite" and not "the one i get all the time". Some of my favorite food is expensive too, but I'm not shelling out 20 bucks for a sandwhich every day.

  • The New York Times does fun little introduction games with candy and storytime about sandwiches because it's an adult daycare facility for people who've never had a single obstacle in their entire lives

  • My Uncle actually works as a journalist for NYT (not joking), and he can confirm that this definitely happened (joking)

  • Remember when being a heretic was badass and you risked excruciating death by the sickest fucks to ever live? Now you just have to be a boogie dumbass and lie about a shitty fast food preference. Return to tradition.

  • Was going to make a Westside story joke here, but I was beaten to it.

    I think this story is a perfect example of lib praxis though. They said the bad thing, and were corrected, like a child. No punishment or investigation, just "don't say the bad words."

    This could've led to a discussion about how awful people can sometimes still produce quality or popular products, and how empty "culture war" virtue signalling doesn't actually do anything useful. All of the "we shall not speak the Voldemort name of the homophobic chicken sandwich restaurant." stuff has failed to cause any sort of change, the company is still around, and still homophobic.

    But such a discussion would require self-awareness and analytical skills, and none of these people would've landed their job at the New Yorker if they had those.

    • Libs doesn't want to end suffering and evil, that would just upset the norms and the status quo. Instead they want to bear witness to it and tell themselves and eachother that they are against it. That is why they think it is meaningful to react to someone liking a sandwich made by someone employed by someone taking a franchise from someone who is a raging homophobe.

  • And then they started circling, shrieking, tearing bits of my flesh piece by piece, throwing their heads back and swallowing like birds
