Chick-fil-A fans may dream of free food from the coveted chain, but for workers in one North Carolina-based location, it looks like free meals were all they were getting.
The Department of Labor has slammed a Hendersonville, North Carolina Chick-fil-A with fines for paying off employees who served as drive-thru traffic directors with meal vouchers instead of traditional wages.
The restaurant was ordered to pay back $235 each to seven employees, bringing the grand total of money owed to $1,645.
The report says that denying the workers minimum wage is a direct violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Social media users caught the restaurant asking for “volunteers” to come direct traffic in exchange for five free meals per shift on their Facebook page in a now-deleted post that has been screenshotted and shared to Twitter.
