In New York, a new legislative bill proposes that some Chick-fil-A locations, including 6 highway truck stop outlets, may be required to operate on Sundays, challenging the company's policy of closing to respect the Sabbath. This has sparked a debate on social media, with users like RonFilipkowski, jakejakeny, and itsmarkmoran discussing the potential impact on the business and religious freedoms. Jakejakeny suggests a solution for Chick-fil-A to defeat the bill while maintaining its Sabbath observance by awarding franchises to Orthodox Jewish owners. Itsmarkmoran expresses frustration, predicting that the legislation could lead Chick-fil-A to close its New York locations, highlighting the state's challenging business environment. Amidst this, some users view the bill as an attempt to target the chain's religious owners rather than a genuine consumer benefit. Jakejakeny also includes a mention of a Substack post detailing how Chick-fil-A could financially benefit and counteract the so-called bigoted move by New York legislators. Meanwhile, CNBC notes that despite competition, Chick-fil-A's customer loyalty remains strong.
Every restaurant chain from McDonald’s to Popeyes wants to take down Chick-fil-A, but its hold over customers is tighter than ever. https://t.co/PnOltJLvtX https://t.co/wp3ktgQ8mn
Check out my latest Substack: NY state bigots are coming after ChickfilA, here's how the chain can beat them AND make big bucks! https://t.co/E1FExHe4pl https://t.co/82oKGAbHDx
The point here is NOT whether these NY legislators get their @ChickfilA bill defeated court. The point is that they really just want to punish the chain & its religious owners with a legal nuisance. I say, follow my plan below & HUMILIATE these bigots, AND make big $$ doing so! https://t.co/Q2BPo7pgzE
I have a SOLUTION for @ChickfilA that will defeat this bill & STILL keep the company’s respect for the Sabbath intact: “Some NY Chick-fil-A locations may be forced to stay open on Sundays under new bill” 1) @ChickfilA should award some new franchises to Orthodox Jewish owners…
NY attempting to legislate Chick fil a into being open on Sundays is just going to lead to the company closing all locations there and further proving the incompetence of NY legislators and what a fucking horrible place to do business it is… Fucking insane…burn Albany down
Okay, please keep commenting and reposting however you like, but I'm going to repost this entire thread with the CORRECT @ChickfilA handle so it's seen by the actual company. https://t.co/lEi7QG8LB8
