There is something different about the young people that they hire compared to other fast food places in general. They appear cleaner and neater, very polite and generally more motivated.
I feel the same way about the young people that Disney and Universal hires.
When management runs a tight ship, it always shows.
I don't think anyone talks about the Jewish bakery in your town because nobody outside your town has heard of it. Completely different from a national chain choosing to close 100% of their stores one day a week. And even though I don't attend church, having one day off EVERY weekend would be pretty nice for a FF job.
Like
@ronandannette pointed out, the Jewish bakery hasn't donated to any controversial lobbying groups, as far as I know. There also used to be a Muslim-owned corner store near me which would close on Fridays. I was SO grateful they were open one Christmas Day, when I ran out of flour and couldn't make gravy for the turkey. But, again, they never attracted any public attention by financially supporting discriminatory causes.
For the record, I
do give Chick-fil-a full credit for deciding to stop funding these particular lobby groups. I would absolutely eat there, if I was near an outlet and had a sudden craving for chicken. It sounds like a perfectly nice fast-food joint.
There are many businesses, both large and small, which close one day of the week. It's a non-issue, worthy of neither praise nor condemnation.
After all, whether a fast-food business closes one day out of seven or not, it's not like any of their employees will be working seven days a week without any time off. And arguably, some might prefer occasionally having a day other than Sunday off, so they can go to doctor's appointments and get their banking done.
In my opinion, all this is, is an entrepreneurial opportunity for some other chicken-purveyor to cash in on the Sunday-chicken-eating-ballpark crowd.
