They could go with the Patton schedule.

Open from 7:00 am to 7:15 am Sundays.

It’s not like Chick- fil-A is ever the only restaurant at a Thruway rest stop. There are always several others.

The left hates nothing more than someone who stands up for their convictions.

One of the hidden perks of working for Chick filla is Sunday off. Having control over your schedule is rare in menial jobs

I remember everything being closed on Sundays. People planned around it. We could make it from freehold to Bronxville without stopping for crappy food. Tank filled on Saturday. 10 miles to the gallon, too

This is fascism.

The details of the law tell a different story. The only locations that are affected are those where Chick-fil-A is operating a concession on a government-owned highway.

To be honest, I’m surprised CFA was ever able to sign a lease to operate on the NY State Thruway under its operating model.

A government forcing a restaurant that is a tenant of the state on a public roadway to open seven days a week is no different than requiring the tow truck company with the state contract for that highway to operate 24/7.

“...in observance of the Sabbath...”

This is incorrect.

The Sabbath is and has always been Saturday-On the seventh day of the first week, God rested.

The first day of the week, Sunday, for reasons at least known to Christians, is known as the Lord’s day. The holiest day. Chick-fil-A and its employees rest, not on the Sabbath, but instead, on the Lord’s day.

Spot on comment about having a contract for operations on the Thruway means the requirements of the agreement must be met. IOW, when you choose to dance with the devil, he gets to call the tune.

I believe this will be found a violation of the free exercise of religion clause of the first amendment to the United States Constitution.

Marxist Rats never do better, never make things better, never improve the quality of life, but they do ruin everything they touch.

They seem quite proud of this.

Next they will demand that only organic wood be used for the crucifix. Such materials as iron, brass, gold, ceramic, plastic would be forbidden.

I remember when they flipped the finger to Christians and embraced homo runaway shelters. I remember when they told me that because I am white, I should kneel and clean the shoes of any black I encountered. I remember when they dumped cole slaw and introduced dirt flavored kale salad to please lefttard college girls.

Enjoy your new friends Chick Fil A.

A government forcing a restaurant that is a tenant of the state on a public roadway to open seven days a week is no different than requiring the tow truck company with the state contract for that highway to operate 24/7.

What happens when the state signs a 33-year concession contract in 2020 with a public-private partnership to renovate, fill, and maintain the rest stops?

Article I Section 10

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

So which one do you think this NY state bill is, a bill of attainder against Chick-fil-a, an ex post facto law, or an impairment on the contract with the builders of the thruway rest stops?

Didn't Applegreen and Chick-fil-a have an expectation based on the contracts that the state is now trying to change?

If you look at the image larger, you’ll see that each one of those rest stops is under construction.
Currently there are only two that are open that impact Chick-fil-A
