And during weekends, the number shoots up to 155 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant has until June 7 to present their solution to the issue to city council. \u201cHowever, if the city council is not happy, and declares the restaurant a public nuisance, Chick-fil-A could lose its nonconforming use status for the drive-thru facilities,\u201d KTLA said.<\/p>\n<p>Santa Barbara Chick-fil-A owner Travis Collins said his team regrets \u201cthis traffic situation\u201d and is working toward a solution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of myself, Chick-fil-A and the many team members, we sincerely regret that this traffic situation has come to this point and heartily wish to work in good faith with the City to resolve this matter once and for all,\u201d Collins said.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2020, then-CEO Dan Cathy made waves when he publicly called on white people to repent of their racism and justified anti-police rioters looting and burning down a Wendy\u2019s restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia, following the death of Rayshard Brooks. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/chick-fil-a-ceo-appears-to-justify-rioters-burning-down-wendys-restaurant-urges-white-people-to-repent-of-racism?utm_source=facebook&#038;utm_medium=social&#038;utm_campaign=dwbrand\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cWe as caucasians, until we\u2019re willing to just pick up the baton and fight for our black, African-American brothers and sisters, which they are as one human race, we\u2019re shameful,\u201d Cathy said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bucksexton.com\/content\/2020-06-18-chick-fil-a-ceo-white-christians-should-repent-of-racism\/\">BuckSexton.com<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re just adding to it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOur silence is so huge at this time,\u201d he said, channeling the far-left refrain that \u201csilence is violence.\u201d \u201cWe cannot be silent.
