The fast-food chain has announced that it will soon allow certain antibiotics to be used in the chickens it raises, citing supply issues.

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 hate to “actually” you, but i will.

          In-n-out, another franchise known for treating employees very well, uses the same system for ordering with an employee outside walking from car to car.

          The chik-fil-a near me, the outside workers all have lots of shade.

          Be mad all you want, but be mad at things that exist.

            The chik-fil-a near me, the outside workers all have lots of shade.

            In Florida CFA drive thrus they wear little portable shade tents with built in fans, under awnings that cover the entire drive thru with multiple clusters of fans blowing down from them.

            Still hot as fuck.

          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.

          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.

            christians treating people like shit is my logic, like they have done for hundreds and hundreds of years. So it seems logical a christian business would treat people like shit.
