No way this passes. They do realize that there are other places that are open


It’s only the rest stops they want to stay open. I live in the area and the Chick-Fil-A’s are what the rest stops thrive on (not much else is offered) But one day out of the week ain’t going to kill them.

Wow! Stalinist $hit right there. CFA should just say CYa....But they like to cave to demands these days so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

where in the constitution does it give them the power to dictate to a private business, the hours or days a business will operate?



Its a state law not a federal one and states get a lot of latitude when it comes to saying when a private business can operate. In some states bars have to shut down at 2am for example. Not sure I am aware of one requiring that a business must be open.

the man who introduced this bill (Tony Simone) is a far left homosexual activist. It's clearly political.

Sounds like a reason to declare their leases void and to say “frick you, New York!”

Wait, I thought they wanted to shorten the work week to 30 hours. Must only be for salaried employees. Definitely going after a Christian business.

seem fascist no? Businesses can set their own hours of operations, they pay for the location, taxes etc.

Whoever put this bill forward should be removed from office immediately

Christian restaurants that are closed on Sundays?


What about the Jewish places that are closed on the Sabbath?

I know a place like B&H Photo and Video that closes early on Fridays and is closed on Saturdays. Its website is open 24/7, but don’t expect to get a reply during those days.

Wow. New York must have all of its other problems solved if this is what it's working on now.

And that's how Chick-fil-A left New York state.

This is clearly just another commie attack on a Christian company.

This is craziness. There are not any places open on Sundays at home.

SFP will be in here shortly to justify this with some sort of absurd libertarian pretzel twisting mental gymnastics, technicality on why this is perfectly reasonable and we are basically "unhinged" rednecks for finding this objectionable.

Ms. Hinchey just needs to admit that, like many of us, she simply craves Chick-fil-a on Sundays.

They expect every restaurant to be open every day?


No, only restaurants occupying public real estate (rest stops, etc.) So it's basically just like renting space at a mall. They have requirements about when you have to be open in that case too. Any locations NOT renting from public landlords can do whatever the hell they want.

It tells you that right in the article. If people would read it all the outrage on this thread would disappear like a fart in the wind from all but the dumbest posters.
