New York Bill to force Chick-Filet to stay open on Sunday's

[LouC]

That is what the bill is doing.

Why do they need a bill for that?

It is setting the conditions by which new contracts/leases/whatever are made.

Just reject CF bids.

They aren’t.

Well good. When the lease agreements are expired then don't re-up with CF.

The bill specifically allows for the existing stores to maintain their policy.

Why the need for a new Law?

This isn't a matter of the state never realizing about the closing when they made they leases.

So they knew they were masking a dumb mistake but did it anyway.

That was dumb!

This is that state deciding that going forward all stores within the state facilities will be open 7 days a week, and that current leases will be honored as made.

So this is the State legislating themselves out of their original mistake?

Why would they need a NEW LAW for this?

Just let the State reject any CF bids for new locations going forward?

Just reject CF bids.

This at least gives CFA the option and ability to change their minds. I prefer that over an outright rejection of the company.

Well good. When the lease agreements are expired then don't re-up with CF.

That seems to be the plan, unless CFA changes their policy. The law doesn't make them change their policy, but it doesn't exclude them even if they change their policy, unlike what your first line would have done.

So they knew they were masking a dumb mistake but did it anyway.

That was dumb!

So this is the State legislating themselves out of their original mistake?

Not necessarily. It may not have been a problem when the leases were first signed. And then the problem later developed, so the new bill was created to address the problem that wasn't present before. There is nothing wrong with making corrections when new problems develop.

Why do they need a bill for that?

Why the need for a new Law?

Why would they need a NEW LAW for this?

It probably has something to do with how their state is structured. Not every state is an exact duplicate of the federal system. The transportation facilities might be something not under executive control, but legislative control. Thus they need laws to change how they operate. That's a guess. You would have to inquire to the state or someone knowledgeable about the state structure to be certain. It doesn't matter if you or I think that's stupid. Until they can get enough votes to change it, they have to work within the structure as it stands.

Just let the State reject any CF bids for new locations going forward?

Such will be case with this new bill.

 

[Callen]

I agree, but did the powers that be not realize CF was not open on Sundays?

Did CF hide this information from them when they made their deal for the locations?

Seems the State didn't realize CF's understood that or didn't realize CF's aren't open on Sundays

The original contracts were not entered into with the State but rather a 3rd party.

Religious beliefs aside, a private/public business should be able to open and close when it goddam wants to!

Man, when I want to close my business, I just hang my "Gone Fishin'!" sign on the door. I ain't asking permission from anybody.

Now, if your an emergency service, police, EMT, FD, military etc., I can see the need to stay open on Sunday.

Oh, and the Beer Depot too.

Are you leasing tax payer subsidized properties on a toll highway with limited choices and no easy off on options?

Not today, I'm not.

But I did stay at a Holiday Inn last week.

Happy New year Callen.

highway with limited choices and no easy off on options?

And? I'm tired of people whining about simple crap.

Look at this way, When people travel in this area they have to know CF will not be available on Sunday.

And it looks like the other 6 days of the week will not be available either. Real smart.

I'll think of this next time I see

From Chick-fil-A to Taco Bell, these are the fastest and slowest fast food drive-thrus in America

Chick-fil-A has the longest drive-thru lines in the country, but still scored the highest customer satisfaction.

Not stated was how that drive-thru wait time was measured. Is that from the time one enters the drive-thru lane or once you are at the placing your order point?

 

[ttwtt78640]

I would expect that the length of the line is not considered with the specific metric they used.

I’m not sure about that. If that was the case, if you had 4 cars ahead of you in the CFA drive-thru lane then you would have to wait about 42.5 minutes to get your CFA order.

HOliday Inn Express! I swear no one remembers the classic commercial line anymore.

HOliday Inn Express! I swear no one remembers the classic commercial line anymore.

Hell, I can't even remember...... uh..... well..... that.

It freaks Mrs. America out that I can remember just about every lyric, of just about every song, that comes on our car radio, from 1962-to-present, yet I cannot remember that she asked me to go down and get the laundry, 5 minutes ago.

The closest way I can describe getting old is, it's like you're totally stoned-to-the-bone, most of the time. Except, you're not. Hard to explain.

I shudder to think what I will have forgotten, (or remembered) by the time I reach my 100th birthday. (Which I have every intention on doing. LOL!)

 

[Lursa]

Yup it uses chick-fil-a as an example, which has lead to a PR issue, but ultimately it could have just as easily cited any other restaurant that doesn't adhere to the proposed schedule to serve travelers.

I hate to say it, but since these are specifically facilities to provide services to travelers...and Sunday is a huge travel day...I support this as a state decision.

And Chic fil A can agree or remove those stores. Gotta admire their commitment, those Sundays would be big moneymakers. But...those facilities are designed to serve travelers and they will find one less service in a plaza set up for a specific number of food services on one of the biggest travel days.

 

[Lursa]

This proposed nonsense seems like a reverse blue law designed to punish those deemed to be too religious (not ‘woke’ enough?).

The facilities are designed to serve the state's citizens...and others...who are travelling. Sunday is probably the biggest travel day. The state does their citizens a diservice and mismanages their tax dollars if it does not supply that service, or reduces it.

I agree with someone else that said tho, that the state shouldnt have given that business a business license in the first place. Bureaucratic error?

Meanwhile:

Alcohol License · NYC311

The alcohol laws are designed to reduce drunk driving accidents. Are you claiming they are related to religious reasons?

I suppose travelers can have their chicken nuggets on Sunday instead.

. CF volume on the days they are open likely out perform most other choices that could rent that space in absence of Chick-Filet

This change might not be the increased revenue generator they think it will be.

But I'm confident some bean counter has ran the numbers or is it not at all about money?
