In a surprising turn of events, Senator Lindsey Graham has launched an all-out war against a New York State bill that has sent shockwaves through the fast-food industry. The bill, known as the Rest Stop Restaurant Act, requires all restaurants in the state's highway system rest areas to operate seven days a week. What's ruffling Graham's feathers, you ask? Well, it seems that some of these restaurants happen to be none other than the beloved Chick-fil-A establishments, which famously close their doors on Sundays.
The bill's sponsor, New York State Assembly member Ty Sime, insists that this is purely a consumer protection measure aimed at providing reliable service to New York drivers and commuters. Speaking out in defense of the bill, Sime points out that holidays like Christmas, which sometimes fall on Sundays, should not be an exception. He argues that businesses should be open, and if workers choose to observe religious holidays, others who don't celebrate should have the opportunity to work on those days.
