I sort of understand the reasoning here. It sounds like these are restaurants leasing space at rest stops and train stations. The state has an interest in making sure that the restaurants they contract with are open 7 days a week.
It's really no different than shopping malls forcing anyone with a store there to match the mall's hours- they have an interest in every store being open the whole workday to attract shoppers.
What I don't understand is why this would need to be a law. Concessionaires sign contracts for their space, and this sort of thing is more appropriate as a contract term. If New York wanted them to be open on Sunday they should have put it in the contract and Chick-fil-A would have just been ineligible to participate if they won't open on Sundays.
I wonder if this is an attempt to break the contract with Chick-fil-A without paying a penalty, as contracts are automatically voided if they violate the law. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this was a case of the NY Thruway Authority colluding with the legislature to get out of paying Chick-fil-A for breaking the contract.
If you take a road trip, and get on a turnpike you have to pay to get on, and off. Truck stops are on the paid for road. Chic fil A had no business putting locations in this situation. Even if we consider truck stops off of highways, truck stops are designed to keep the traffic on the highway.
They do need to leave truck stops. Truck stops are like the grocery store of the highway. Can't be closed one day a week. It's crazy they go all, " Christian Values" until they starve travelers, or cost exit and entrance fees for toll roads in Sunday.

Chick-Fil-A doesn’t operate the truck stops and close the whole thing on Sunday. They aren’t even the only hot food option at any given facility. Nobody is starving because Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sunday. It’s right there in the article.
And I don’t say this to defend Chick-Fil-A after they caved to the outrage mob, because fuck that.
I have certainly been to truck stops that only have one option. They pay for that privilege you know. I have also been to truck stops with more than one option, and showers.
Your position might hold any merit if they were literally the only food being sold in that building whatsoever. Somehow, I feel like the truck stop still has the full suite of gas station available food and probably its own little burger, hotdog and taquito cases still right there and available.
So I'm going to guess you just don't like their food, valid, and are trying to extrapolate that into some position of them being immoral.
Go ask a trucker. It's a truck stop. They'd be the expert. I don't like their food, and I don't like how much money they put into making other people miserable. But, those same miserable fuckers love their food. So they can have each other.
But, we do not have Japanese vending machines here.

I never liked them.
