A new bill filed in the New York State Assembly aims to force some Chick-fil-A locations to operate seven days a week, threatening the fast food chain's longstanding policy of keeping its restaurants closed on Sundays.
The legislation proposed last week would require all food vendors operating at rest stops owned by the New York State Thruway Authority to open every day, and names Chick-fil-A as the reason behind the move.
"While there is nothing objectionable about a fast food restaurant closing on a particular day of the week, service areas dedicated to travelers is an inappropriate location for such a restaurant," the bill's justification reads. "Publicly owned service areas should use their space to maximally benefit the public. Allowing for retail space to go unused one seventh of the week or more is a disservice and unnecessary inconvenience to travelers who rely on these service areas."
Ever since it opened in 1946, Chick-fil-A has closed its locations on Sunday. It now has 3,000 locations in the U.S. The company currently operates seven restaurants owned by New York's Thruway Authority, and the proposed legislation would impact all future contracts.

Personally, if they want to place a location at a state-owned rest area that is open 7 days a week, then fair to ask them to be open every day.
it’s not in the contract???
Back when there were “Blue Laws” Christians couldn’t be open on Sundays and Jewish establishments weren’t open on Saturdays. So in some locations they set up a system where the Jews operated the Christian businesses on Sunday and the Christians operated the Jewish businesses on Saturday.
So petty. So childish. So self destructive. So Democrat.
They have restaurants in rest areas in New York?
Have not been up there in over 30 years. In Texas we have vending machines and rattlesnakes.
Ask the local SDA and Orthodox Jewish people to volunteer to work one day a week.
Then put up a sign explaining what is going on...
Close all of them. And never return to the state of NY.
I remember Fox covering the opening of the one in Manhattan. It was right around the same time as some gay nonsense.
Doors opened. Line around the block.
Fox interviewed one guy waiting in line saying something to the effect of: I don’t agree with their politics but they’re sandwiches are awesome.
Close everyone of them.
I don’t agree. The state has a responsibility to respond to customer needs, those rest areas are open seven days a week, often 24 hours. Vendors choosing to be there need to be open for visitors.
Chick-Fil-A was probably hoping the Left would quit attacking them after they caved on same sex marriage. They were fools to think that.
Depending on whom is riding with me, I go for the rattlesnakes. Good eats.
Hmmm. Maybe you have a point. If 7 days a week is how other vendors are expected to do.
It’s perfectly okay for idiot indolent Browns to displace intelligent industrious Whites, but not the other way around. Is that it, Mister Barr?
I carry a pitching wedge in the back of my truck. For rattlesnakes. Because the glockenspiel is loud.
Leave
What’s race have to do with it? If the rest area is open 7 days a week and that is a contract requirement, up to Chick-fil-A to step up or pursue other contracts. That has NOTHING to do with race.
NY morons entered into an agreement with a major company that is partially famous for closing one day a week.
The company hasn’t changed so my guess is the morons in NY that thought this was a brilliant idea, have moved on, and new morons don’t want that company running 6 days a week, or the 7th..
They want them out..
?
What is in the contract? Is this change being made in violation of the contract before the contract expires? If the change takes effect when a new contract is signed, then that’s the way it is.
This article is woefully skimpy for a so called business site. Who writes this 8th grad crap anyway?
I could care less what happens to Chicfila. After the owner prostated himself during the BLM fiasco literally kissing or cleaning the feet of some commie.
I can’t believe you are supporting this law which is specifically targeting a Christian-owned business. There are other options that are open seven days a week. No one will starve or be forced to wet their pants.
