New York legislation could force Chick-Fil-A to open doors on Sundays - ABC News

[TexasTowelie]

A new bill introduced into the New York Assembly, known as the "Rest Stop Restaurant" Act would force certain highway rest stop Chick-Fil-A operators to open for business on Sundays.

[Mr.Bill]

1. And once again, Chick-Fil-A

gets free advertising from the news media.

That's all this is about, folks.

There's a guy who got elected president with this kind of free advertising with the network news talking about something that should be a non-story.

3. I don't consider the passage of legislation to be the equivalent of free advertising.

There is no point in advertising if the business is going to be closed and thus far, that's the status of the Chik-fil-A restaurants on Sunday. It would be advertising if the news report indicated what menu items were being sold or if there was a sales promotion indicating lower prices, combo deals, etc.

[Mr.Bill]

4. The legislation aspect could have been covered in about 15 seconds.

They turned it into a round table discussion about the food and their personal experences with it. Just aonother example of the corrosion of this thing we used to call broadcast journalism.

2. That would mean a full 7 days per week to avoid them

Six was never quite enough!

[Mr.Bill]

5. I tried their food once. A friend brought it home.

Just more mediocre fast food. Nothing special.
