Business Insider says a Hendersonville, North Carolina Chick-Fil-A is under fire for offering to pay people in sandwiches rather than money. The restaurant posted the following message online: “We are looking for volunteers for our new Drive Thru Express! Earn 5 free entrees per shift (1 hr) worked, Message us for details.”

A Chick-Fil-A spokesperson told Insider the company did not endorse the program and that the restaurant has decided to end it. "Most restaurants are individually owned and operated, and it was a program at an individually owned restaurant."

They have since removed the job listing.

One angry person tweeted: “The national median monthly rent price is $2,000, or 466 Chick-fil-A sandwiches”
