No. If you have a government concession you play by government rules. I cannot imagine a turnpike concession closed on Sunday.

However now I understand that the travelers have other food concession options on Sunday more than one restaurant. In that case this is government overreach

Damn. I hate the voice of reason, but thanks for reading the article, which I had not!

But wouldn’t this fall under the category of “ex post facto” laws?

I guess it would depend on the contract between Chick and the govt.

Still, there is no doubt in my mind that this action is Wokefare on the part of New York.

Deep State is doing the company’s owners a solid.

Thruway patrons need service on Sundays.

If CFA doesnt like that, CFA doesn’t have to take the contract.

But CFA likely wants to start opening on Sundays, doesn’t want to alienate patrons and employees by being seen to jettison the closed on Sunday policy, so Deep State is doing the board’s dirty work for it.

Neither Deep State nor CFA’s board give a rat’s hairy hind end about the public or its needs.

It’s a match made in Hades.

No skin off our noses.

We no longer patronize CFA.

That ship sailed long ago.

“Deep State is doing the company’s owners a solid.

“Thruway patrons need service on Sundays.”

Huge step across the line re First Amendment. Siding with the government against Christian principles is dangerous.

Close the stores then and open up in a new location not under a stupid government contract. We’re finally getting one in my little city and will be damned glad to get it 6 days of the week.

I tend to agree with this. If you want to do business within the scope of public transportation that operated 7 days a week than your services should also be available 7 days a week. If you do not wish to provide services on Sunday then do not opt to operate in that venue.What would happen if a certain gas station decided they would not sell gas on sunday and they were the only service station at the service plaza and your gas needle is almost on E.

NYC electronics store earns gelt with Orthodox business model

Satmar Hassid owned B&H offers great prices and expert salesmanship — with a dose of Old World inequality

B&H is closed on Saturdays. B&H is also closed after 1pm on Fridays, and on all major Jewish holidays, including, but not limited to, Passover, Sukkot, and Shavuot. B&H is owned and operated by Orthodox Satmar Jews, and religious observance is one of the company’s key defining characteristics.

One more reason not to live in that miserable state, I guess. Why can’t they just regulate businesses in a sensible manner? Opening & closing hours should be left entirely up to that particular business. If it turns out to be non-competitive, the business can decide, not the government.

This is only at Thruway service plazas. Kind of reasonable to have minimum hours.

Golly! If only New York had known this about Chick-Fil-A when they entered into a contract to have them at service plazas. /sarc I-90 is a toll road. If one doesn't like the existing amenities they can always travel Route 20.

Regarding religion, the first amendment prevents Congress from prohibiting the free exercise thereof. If anyone wants that camel's nose in their tent, and it is possible to have the result effect only them, go right ahead, and good luck with that.

It is completely inappropriate (and likely illegal) for the USSNY to stick its disgusting nose in Chick-fil-A's tent on this issue. And if they continue, I hope Chick-fil-A stands its ground and leaves and/or sues the state.
