Fast-food chain Chick-fil-A has sparked a social media backlash after announcing that it will soon allow certain antibiotics in the chickens it raises, citing supply issues.

Chick-fil-A restaurants in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico will transition “from chicken raised with No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) to chicken raised with No Antibiotics Important to Human Medicine (NAIHM), starting in the spring of 2024,” the company said in a statement posted on its website this week.

    Fuck chick fil a. Since I worked there back in 2015, they’ve cut portion sizes by almost a third and raised priced by almost 50%.

    I call bullshit. You can source antibiotic free chicken if you’ll pay for it, they’re just trying to extract more profit again.

      Insofar as I recall they’re still one of the better fast food joints wrt worker treatment.

        It’s a very mixed bag, due to the fact that most of them are franchises.

        I remember when I quit and went to amazon, my hourly went up by more than 50%. I worked 20 hours less every week and for health insurance.

        But there’s also some near me with signs up advertising $18/hour.

          I’m not defending chick fil a here, but this is some busted ass logic. I don’t see how worshipping god has any bearing on how they treat workers.

        Who cares? Are you working there?

        Also: bullshit. No other fast-food company makes their workers stand out in 100F weather to take orders.

          No other fast food place does it because “just standing” they don’t consider to be working and they ALL run skeleton crews now. Time to lean time to clean bullshit.

          Just to be clear fuck Chick-fil-A as they also force their workers to buy $80+ jackets to deal with the weather.
