Closed on Sunday means that their workers do get a day off.  And, well, considering you don't seem a fan of the food, I would think you would wish they would be closed 7 days a week.


You actually think they have their regular hourly employees working so much that they get overtime?  I am sure they have enough employees that they probably get an average of 20-30 hours a week if that.  I am sure the managers that are salary based appreciate a day off since they don't get overtime pay, but I guarantee that most hourly workers there hardly ever see any overtime.  Paying someone 12-15 dollars for overtime pay?  Screw that they can easily just hire another high school student or someone else.  I wouldn't go that far to see them gone but I don't see what all the fuss is about them.

I haven't got a clue about Chick-Fil-A, but I've known of companies that have reduced hours (and days of week) to have fewer, more reliable employees that work longer hours ...

This is an unusual strategy for a fast food company because most of the companies that do this are service based companies that people will work around their new adjusted hours. For example, when I was younger a local model shop was closed on Monday and Tuesday; and only had two staff members who worked full time.
