I hope Chick-Fil-A tells them to pound sand.
KFox TV: A new bill introduced would require any food service location at New York State Thruway rest stops to stay open seven days a week, something that directly challenges Chick-fil-A’s policy of closing on Sundays.
The restaurant chain is well known nationwide for closing on Sundays, a practice that’s been in place since the first restaurant was opened in Georgia in 1946.
In the summer of 2021, a $450 million project began at rest stops along Interstate 90 in New York, updating the buildings, adding electric vehicle charging station and bringing in new restaurants. The construction work is ongoing to complete renovations at all 27 rest stops, but many locations featuring Chick-fil-A restaurants are already open.
The bill introduced in Albany would “require food services at transportation facilities and rest areas owned and operated by certain public authorities remain open seven days a week.” The bill is co-sponsored by Assemblymember Anna Kelles (D, NY-125), who represents Tompkins County and portions of Cortland County, including the city of Cortland. The bill’s sponsor is Assemblymember Tony Simone (D, NY-75) who represents part of Manhattan.
Soooo…how soon until it becomes impossible to call yourself a Christian and an American?
