“Capitalism is a f***ing disease!”
“They’re bringing back child labor!”
“Introduce your kids to late-stage capitalism!”
These are some of the normal, sane responses that online left-wing voices have had to the news that several Chick-fil-A restaurants are offering “summer camp” programs for young children. What’s got them all worked up, exactly?
Well, basically, a few Chick-fil-A franchises are offering three-hour day programs, which they’re calling summer camps, where children aged 5 to 12 can come in and essentially shadow employees behind the scenes at Chick-fil-A. For $30 to $35, depending on the program, parents get several hours of childcare, and the children get name tags, meals, t-shirts, and snacks.
