I work in a an outpatient office which is part of a large medical system, which is private, non-profit.

Their nondiscrimination policies for staff and patients includes seuxal orientation.

However, until now, we had a receptionist who accepted chick-fil-a sandwiches and coupons for free sandwiches from the chick-fil-a representatives who made the rounds of the outpatient services. Well, two weeks ago a new receptionist asked me about the coupon that she got from a rep, saying that she didn't know what to do with it. I grabbed it out of her hand, and tore it in half in short order. I launched into how we don't accept their coupons/sandwiches b/c they are an anti-gay organization and after all we have non discrimination policies at our company for sexual orientation.

I put the poor woman into a tizzy who said that she didn't know that about chick-fil-a and that she doesn't like chicken anyway. She also said she would make sure she didn't accept them.

I was pretty rabid about it. She was fine with it though and actually wasn't a new employee to our health system, just a new employee too our department. I will have to email our old receptionist (who is still a part of our health system, just left our department), to how if she is enjoying the sandwiches guilt free since I am not bitching at her for accepting them.

ETA: I think I am going to contact our HR department what I can do about this, company wide. They recently added gender identity to their non-discrimination company, so perhaps they will listen (or just don't want an irritated employee on this issue).
