It only protects them from competing with people who are too lazy to get certified. That does benefit them in some small way although it's not a "tax". A "union tax" would be something along the lines of mandatory union dues.

1. They're not "union dues" since money is not being taken from teachers and put into the hands of unions. It's not a "tariff" because it doesn't raise revenue. You're trying to redefine words for no apparent reason.
2. You're assuming the "better teachers" are too lazy to get a certification.

Your statement that my analysis is BS has not one supporting sentence to go with it.
So either you are prideful ass who just doubled down knowing you are wrong or you suck at math. Either way you analysis remains BS."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.

Even when taking his numbers into account, they still don't account for the 20 percent difference in profit. KFC is clearly overbuilt if they have 4,500 locations and are getting their butts kicked by a company a third the size.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

In terms of business models, this is an apples-and-oranges comparison.
Like most fast food chains, KFC is in the business of selling franchises and collecting fees. Obviously, they have been very successful, going back to the 1960s. They have been less than stellar at keeping the brand fresh and relevant, but it's a mature operation. The corporation owns relatively few locations.
CfA, on the other hand, retains ownership of all its locations; its franchisees are operators, not owners. It's an unconventional (and arguably more sustainable) approach, requiring slower, more controlled growth. Corporate earns far less in franchise fees but gets a much bigger part of the profits.
FYI, a Chick-fil-A franchise goes for $5,000 (get in line) while a decent McDonalds location typically costs about $2 million.
FYI2, Chick-fil-A took the lead in per-franchise sales (#2 is McDonalds) back in 2010, two years before the whole controversy over COO Dan Cathy's statements opposing gay marriage.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

You ****ed up when you harped on about how CFA employees get less time with their families due to morning operating hours throughout the week adding up to more time than they get off on Sunday. There is no way to prove that without knowing the workforce numbers so your analysis is pure unqualified speculation. Also known as BS.
So either you are prideful ass who just doubled down knowing you are wrong or you suck at math.

I think these would all be intersting to see and would help support your, well I was going to say argument, but possibly 'bout of fanciful wishful thinking' would be a kind euphemism, and more accurate.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.
