A 13-14 hour a day, working on your feet, in a hot small kitchen? That sounds downright awful.

Big time. They don’t even have results yet, but somehow they are stunning. This is also not a shorter work week. It’s compressed into fewer days. They’re not 1 stunning thing in the entire article.

10 hour days for 4 days a week has consistent and repeatable results.

3 days for more than 10 hours in any fast food join or restaurant kitchen is suicide.

My birth control pills are almost $175 PER MONTH without insurance. I have to take them for reasons other than preventing pregnancy. It's $24 with insurance. Welcome to the world of being a woman.

Ok so this openly Christian company that makes their stance very clear to everyone including any person who may consider working there is a terrible company because they don’t share you’re belief that birth control should be covered by your insurance? Isn’t that kind of like going to Outback Steakhouse and criticizing them for not being vegan?

But it isn’t up to you or I what any one’s religion deems moral or not. They have the freedom to practice their religion as they see fit and since it’s a private company, those beliefs are going to extend to everyone working there. Regardless, I still haven’t gotten an answer to my question on why chic-fil-a is a terrible company…

I'm stating that people in the US have their healthcare intrinsically tied to their jobs. Not everyone has the opportunity to "work wherever", for instance, a person without a car in a small town might find that Chick-fil-a is one of the few places they can work.

Chick-fil-a shouldn't deny health care to people because they have female parts. Birth control pills are not just for birth control. I kinda gotta assume you're a dude, or you'd understand from personal experience what I'm talking about.

Of course, if you'd just like to troll the religion crap, feel free.

I’m not trolling anything. I don’t think that denying something on religious grounds makes chic-fil-a a “terrible” company especially considering a lot of people don’t think that birth control should be covered by insurance in at all. I’m not a religious man and I’m not claiming to understand all the tribulations of being a woman but outside of regulating periods, clearing acne, and MAYBE helping with cramps, I don’t see why condoms wouldn’t suffice.

To me, you seem like an angry and defensive person looking to make an enemy out of anyone that disagrees with your views. And funnily enough, that is the only way anyone could see chic-fil-a as a terrible company.

You are making my point for me. You can't see why this is much more than "regulating periods, clearing acne and MAYBE helping with cramps" because you are not a woman. However, you believe that a corporation should be able to decide whether thousands of employees should receive gender-specific health care (not your gender)? The fact is that if you are not a woman, you can not possibly understand what goes into the complexity of our medical care. Certainly, my employers interest in "The Lord" should have no impact on whether or not I can get care for dozens of different issues, because that care includes something that has one of it's uses labeled as "birth control".

By the way, Chick-fil-a wouldn't want you to use condoms either, if they could control that.

So your belief that they should pay for your birth control supersedes their right to practice their religion and run their private business in line with those values. I don’t think that’s very fair.

I think I'd rather do that. When I was 19, I worked a factor job with similar hours. One week I'd work 4 days, another 3. The days were pretty brutal in length, but those days off we're amazing
