Yadkowski, 33, came to Chick-fil-A when he was living in a group foster home created by Chick-fil-A founder and chairman S. Truett Cathy. "I tell the kids, 'This is not just selling sandwiches; it pays for your upbringing,'" says Yadkowski, a hardworking, happily married Southern Baptist who plans to work with Chick-fil-A for life.
But Danielle Alderson, 30, a Baltimore operator, says she can't hire a good manager who, say, moonlights at a strip club because it would irk the company. "We are watched very closely by Chick-fil-A," she says. "It's very weird."
Is it legal? There are no federal laws that prohibit companies from asking nosy questions about religion and marital status during interviews.
Aziz Latif, a former Chick-fil-A restaurant manager in Houston, sued the company in 2002 after Latif, a Muslim, says he was fired a day after he didn't participate in a group prayer to Jesus Christ.

How Much Does a Chick-Fil-A Franchise Cost?
http://franchises.about.com/b/2009/05/22/how-much-does-a-chick-fil-a-franchise-cost.htm
“Got $5000 laying around? Then you can forget the burgers and throw your money down on a license to operate a Chick-Fil-A. But get in line. Chick-Fil-A only gives about 75 of the 10,000 applicants per year the right to operate a franchise, and along with this right comes strict stipulations.
Your store will be closed on Sunday to give employees a day off to rest or worship. You will not own the property upon which the store sits, nor will you be allowed to select your location. Investment information is conspicuously missing from the company’s website as well as the net, but good credit with a proven business track record will get you considered for a franchise. You will have to surender a whopping 50% of the monthly net profits.
If you looking for a low cost franchise and low on cash, maybe Chick-Fil-A is the way to go. As long as you don’t mind giving away 50% of the net profits (income after expenses.) You may feel more like a Chick-Fil-A employee, but you are only risking the $5000 franchise fee. “
Every newsreader on TV, from local news to cable giants, has a morals clause.
They can’t go into a strip club.
Is that legal?
YES.
So, when they read this crap story on the news tonight, know that they know exactly how off base this story really is.
Wasn’t aware that it was a state wide rule. Surprises me because we have happened onto some very small towns in mountainous areas where people in the bar were smoking. Two cities didn’t even allow smoking outside though. Looked into buying a lot and building a retirement home in Pagosa Springs. Beautiful area but more pages in the city and state building and EPA codes than are in Obamacare. So not going to do that.
I knew a dancer/stripper years ago who was a kindergarten teacher.....she was great at both professions.
Forbes has turned LEFTY.
Danielle Alderson sounds like a NUTCASE!!! She’s damned LUCKY that Chik hasn;t broomed her.
When I went to CFA on Wednesday there was an older guy behind the counter working his butt off. Later I looked at their website because I was going to place an online order for work. There was a picture of the owner; yep, the old guy behind the counter. I have a strong suspicion that this would be an excellent company to work for. The employees or way to cheerful for it to be too bad.
The employees ARE way to cheerful for it to be too bad.
Firstly: Steve Forbes persoanlly edits Frobes.com? Who knew, LOL! Secondly: Don’t you know that the only articles you can reliably count on to get flushed down the memory hole involve Dems and their scandals? Anything negative about Christians, Conservatives or Republicans will linger online until it grows moss.
Sheesh! make that “personally edits Forbes.com”.
