While thousands of workers are walking away from jobs over compensation, a North Carolina Chick-Fil-A has offered to pay volunteers.

On July 26, the Chick-Fil-A posted on their Facebook page that they were looking for volunteers for their drive-through. 5 free hours were earned per shift. Send us a message for more information.

The store has limited who can post on its comments because of the backlash, but that hasn't stopped the criticism.

The store that counts Republican congressman Madison Cawthorn among its alumni employees is not part of the chain's parent company.

The store responded to the backlash by thanking everyone for their concern. People can choose to volunteer if they think it is a good fit for them. Multiple people have signed up and done it many times. The people who signed up for this chose to do so. If you are interested in working in our store, we pay $19 per hour.

The town is about 30 miles south of the mountains. The community is well-known for it's wineries and breweries, as well as being home to an extensive number ofAirbnb homes.
