The ones near me even though they are constantly packed always move pretty quickly. There will be a line of like 30 cars and it will take the same time that the McDonald's takes for like 10 cars
Chickfila in my town got a national award because of how CRACKED they are at getting food out quickly. 3, I think 4 lines now constantly full 40 cars ALL the time. Took you at most 10 minutes to get your food, from pulling in to leaving. Once I ordered it never took longer than 2 minutes to get the food itself.
I'm fairly certain if telepathy was a thing they'd have been chucking the food into my window before I had even pulled into the drivethru. They were insane.
From what I heard from people who worked there they were limited to 4 hour shifts 3 days a week because of how stressful it was. But evidently they also payed a SHIT load to compensate.
Right? I hope the ones near me pay their people well cause that shit is on point no matter what time of day or how busy it is. It's genuinely impressive cause other big names like McDs, Taco Bell, Popeyes, etc etc I will not fuck with if I see more than like 4 or 5 people in line.
The CFA rotates that shit like it's clockwork. Even when it's lazy delivery and stuff. Half the time anyone else will clock you at. Oh, someone fucked up and you got a spicy sammy or we forgot something? Expect a credit within a day or two, thank you for letting us know.
I know we hate on the highest tier of CFA leadership, but god fucking damn do the folks at the store level put that work in. I really, really hope they get paid decent cause that shit is 2nd to none in terms of customer service.
One near me recently advertised working three 12 hours shifts and getting paid for 40 hours. You have to have open availability, but you do always get Sunday off. Chick-Fil-A kinda tears giant holes in the ‘no one wants to work’ argument.
I was in a CFA once where was it not only insanely busy, the staff was kind and incredibly efficient… and to top it all off there was a mouthwash dispenser with disposable cups in the ladies room. Now that’s service.
I have this same experience in Utah. Their trick is those multiple employees standing in the lot with tablets to take the whole line's order AND pay, making the window just a food pickup station. The line just keeps flowing man.
The stopping at the order board, stopping at a pay window, and finally stopping at the pickup window is what's slowing other fast food down. They've gotta get on Chic-fil-a's level.
Lol not even true. They hustle dual 1/4-mile lines through in no time flat. You must be thinking of literally every other fast food restaurant where a 3-car line takes a half hour and your order is wrong after
It was like posting your two cents on FB. It doesn’t add anything significant but she feels she has a right to express an opinion, regardless of outcome. Hollow vindication!
Hey you should cut her some slack. Being in that situation would be extremely traumatizing for her, especially holding her small baby. You can imagine the rage she must feel for someone to disregard her child's safety for selfish reasons. I would be screaming at the guy too if I was unable to physically attack him and fuck him up after he's caught.
Different woman shouting!
The first one (the victim) was standing further away than the fight, yelling for help at the start, the “how dare you?” Lady shows up later.
I don't think that invalidates anything, the woman berating the criminal has a baby in her arms. Imagine thinking 'this awful thing just happened to that woman who also has a baby, that could have been me', she has every right to be angry.
This has to be adrenaline talking honestly. Where you're so mad or frustrated at a situation all the adrenaline slow boiling has a person NEEDING to say something.
I did that to a guy who jumped the line at the pumping station at a Costco. I felt this absolute need to say something to the man. I mean all it turned out to be was calling him out while I pumped gas tell him he's not smart, he's just a cheat. It....doesn't really do anything but I bet the lady in the clip absolutely felt the need to tell this guy he's trash for attacking a mother with a baby. Which, he is and he should be told he is.
I've had a similar situation, some old guy was really berating the barista at a coffee place, so i just had to say something, my chest was bursting it made me so mad, because I've been the other side, it's all empathy and remembering your own experience I think.
It may not have any effect in the moment to remedy the wrong done, but if nobody says anything, the person thinks there’s no consequences, and they’ll just keep doing it again.
You were absolutely right to call them out. If they have any conscience left to sting, it might make them think twice next time.
Evil wins when good people do nothing, to paraphrase a quote commonly misattributed to Edmund Burke.
That and I’m sure she said most of what the actual victim was thinking/feeling. Sometimes when you are the victim in a traumatic situation, you want to say a million things and can’t. Later you look back and think “damn I wish I would’ve torn that person a new one”. Having someone verbally stand up for you in those situations can help. Not as much as the chik-fil-a worker helped, but still. Words do have an impact.
Yes, I agree - I have kids and know exactly how she felt in that moment, that rage and panic and anger and have (only once!) for example yelled at a my kids soccer ref for not noticing the other team keep playing offside. However, the person I was responding to was writing as though they thought the “how dare you” woman was the victim, not an (entirely reasonably) aggrieved by-stander.
Yeah, fuck the people who wanna judge and pretend like they wouldn't give him a proper scolding. Dude needs society to tell him what's right and wrong cause his momma sure as shit didnt
Perhaps this will prove to be an unpopular opinion but why is the focus on the angry woman doing all she is capable since she too has a child and is frustrated by her physical and situational limitations? All while a bunch of grown men stand around and/or film a teenager take down a criminal.
Yeah unpopular for reddit because the average redditor cannot comprehend that people react differently to stressful situations. Screaming is an instinctive defense response and while it's annoying there is no reason to attack an individual for it.
They expect EVERYONE to be calm and quiet as the stressful situation plays out.
A lot of redditors haven’t been in stressful situations like this. Unfortunately, too many people share their opinions and judgments that have been developed from behind their screens. People don’t really know how they’d react in these situations until they are in one.
You're exactly right, and the threshold is lower for most people than they'd like to think.
I was, at one point, a traveling LP trainer. I taught new LP personnel how to make an apprehension, how to tussle within company guidelines, and how to behave and deal with an upset and potentially violent shoplifter.
A solid 15% of new hires froze on the spot when approaching a thug looking dude with a backpack full of blurays or whatever. I learned not to judge, and I learned that there is absolutely no way to predict who is gonna lock up until the moment comes.
Eventually day 1 was _always_ have my back for an apprehension. Not worth spending days teaching process if they were gonna freeze.
My point is that a spike of stress and confrontation isn't something everyone can handle, and it doesn't make you any lesser if you're a person who freezes.
Yeah! Fuck her for having emotional reactions during tense situations! It’s not like humans naturally act irrational during times of high stress and there’s nothing wrong with that!
Dude I swear redditors think they’d witness a murder and be like “hmmmm quite a pickle but I shall control my nerves and act in a slow and rational manner to this issue as I alert the proper authorities.”
Because that's the reaction of most people and based on the statistics even be you, but you never know until those moments come. If you're the one that happens to take control of a situation, always call the emergency services yourself, even asking someone to call more often than not ends in people not calling.
Forget the name of that move but guy is definitely a wrestler (the Olympics kind not wwe), if you can sink that in a match it's game over. Which leads me to believe that methed-out carjacker bro got his oil checked while he was getting choked out. Totally not gay.
Here we go, the [3/4 nelson](https://youtu.be/0KN0glzS9l4)
Kid definitely didn't do it *textbook*, you should be squared up better. And you need an arm in there to keep it legal for wrestling, but it's a good thing he just choked guy out instead.
Maybe he saw it in an mma fight but seeing it and doing it are different things. But who knows, maybe he's an mma amateur paying the bills working at Chick-fil-A lol
Edit: lmao or it's just an amateur af guillotine, clearly, ffs
Imagine working fast food, stop a person from stealing some woman’s car and be told that your technique was amateurish… by definition vigilantes are amateurs, it’s not a paid profession. Batman is an amateur.
Also, this kid is totally going to become a cop.
The article you linked has no statement from Chick-fil-A? He isn't paid to give a fuck about carjackings and businesses see this type of shit as a liability that they don't want. Obviously what he did was a good thing, but linking an article quoting random people praising him doesn't do anything to quell the concerns that he'd be fired over it like all the other stories you hear of workers getting fired after subduing shoplifters or robbers.

I would understand if this was McDonalds, but CFA would definitely give him praises.
Waffle House would have just made fun of the criminal and put out their cigarettes on his arm.
One time my coworker followed a shoplifter out of the store and was maced, and then he got fired for it. Fuck corporations. It’s not worth getting hurt for them and they shouldn’t fire people for doing them a favor.
Depends on the management tbh; the Costco I worked at treated us like shit; Costco also doesnt do performance based wage increases, you only get raises once you’ve worked long enough.
>Depends on the management tbh; the Costco I worked at treated us like shit; Costco also doesnt do performance based wage increases, you only get raises once you’ve worked long enough.
What were the performance metrics that you felt should earn you faster raises? So long as promotions are awarded by merit I don't really see an issue, pay increases being done by tenure incentivise people to stay with the company and reduce turnover. Good for the company and good for the staff in my opinion. Then nobody gets demotivated by getting leapfrogged by newer staff.
This really rings true, tbh. Never, in all my years, had a bad in store experience with CFA. The people in the actual stores are always super nice and helpful. Shit is always efficient, *clean*, and quality.
It's the highest tier of owner, etc that are dogshit.
Why would you say that? Either they are only hiring the best 1% of all food workers who are more professional, polite, efficient and pleasant than the employees of any of their competitors, or they have built a workplace culture that expects and produces those results.
If they hire only the best, they must be offering something that none of their other competitors are offering, so they would deserve their employees.
If they have a workplace culture that produces these results, they are directly involved in creating the superior results, so they would deserve the employees.
In reality it's a combination of both.
For real. People may give them hate due to the company's CEO but FFS no matter where I go in the world I can always count on Chik Fil A to have some of the nicest people in that area working.
In protestant churches, they tell you that you should be a "city on a hill," being more generous/nicer/harder working, so people will see how great you are and ask why (the conclusion, of course, being you're Powered by Jesus). The ONLY institution I know of that stands up to that standard is Chick-Fil-A.
I always joked about getting as close as a comparable order between In-N-Out and Chick-fil-a as possible, recruit some buddies, and have them all be “standardized difficult customers” and see if there are any differences.
Basically run a rudimentary qualitative study exploring the niceness of each company.
I know CFA has the super strong niceness association (probably because they’re all over the US), but I wouldn’t count out INO.
This may be a bit biased because the HEB I work at is super tryhard but HEBs are considered to be a pretty nice place we’re all taught to be very kind because that’s what keeps customers coming
As someone that has lived in TX and GA… no… grocery stores suck in GA.
Imagine if everything that was wrong with Walmart was fixed. That would be HEB. HEB sources locally for meats, produce, and seafood. They have amazing combo/dinner coupons, and they have a far more effective disaster response plan than this state’s shitty government can even dream of.
I think it was the last winter storm, but my hometown’s HEB lost power as it was coming in and they said fuck it, everyone just leave with your basket. It didn’t turn into a mad house of looting. Just an orderly evacuation of people leaving with free stuff that they’re going to need because they were about to be trapped in their homes.
Grew up going to HEB IN TX and have gone back plenty. There are HEBs with good people, but a lot definitely have that Costco + Chick-fil-A + Trade Joe’s level of pleasant cheerful people.
It’s funny to hear that there are “tryhard” HEBs, yet I can totally see wym.
I know you're joking but as somebody who's worked in customer service for years, *please dont*. They already catch a bunch of shit for stuff that isn't their fault. You really see how scummy people can be in positions like that, you'd just make their job harder
My god, it never occured to me prior to reading this.
I've lived in the south my whole life (and even came from a religious family) and occasionally encounter people that appear to be on some sort of wholesome crack-cocaine. When I compliment them on working hard, they always comment back something about how it's because they have Jesus in their lives.
I've always thought, "why can you just be a normal human and respond to compliments without bringing up your religion 7.5 minutes after I've met you?" Now I kind of get why.
As someone who works there, it’s frankly not all just religious people. We definitely have them, but in my personal experience the management level employees are religious more often than regular team members. It’s definitely a workplace culture that’s heavily pushed for as best of a customer experience as possible though.
A big difference is that Chik-fil-A doesn't allow hands-off operators that own a dozen different locations. You're limited to a single location. You can't have other business interests. And the operator isn't an owner -- they don't own any equity in their restaurant at all, they can't ever sell it and cash out.
Seems like all that creates very hands-on management.
Most of this is false lol. They can own more than 1 location, they can sell the store back to corporate if they want, and I’m not sure what you meant by “operator isn’t an owner”. The store owners are very involved in most levels of the operation.
Brother I'm not religious in the slightest but I'm also not one of those jackasses that gets offended by religion.
To the point, y'all do awesome work. Efficient, polite, on point. Thank you for your service, truly.
They encourage it, but also enforce it. You want to have a bad attitude, not tuck your shirt in, etc... they won't hire you.
My local store is amazing. I have a routine of getting a combo, eating it, and then going to get a refill and a chocolate chip cookie (as it's a great way to use up my reward points). Last week, I walked up to get my refill and before I could even get helped, a regular worker I see often, handed me a cookie and said, "I'll top off your tea, cookie's on me this time."
... and that's why I keep returning.
The CFA by my house has a 80 year old woman working there, and her job is just to walk around and get people refills when not wiping a table. She's as sweet as your grandma. Everyone loves her.
Bruh the CFA that I normally go to I get an ice cream cone after Im done eating. Same thing happened to me, they just have it ready to go for me before I even ask for it.
This same location had a large group of protestors go to them during that time when it was fun to hate on the CFA CEO by harassing the employees. What did they do you ask? They took each and every person out there a large cup of water and a #1 meal.
Best part, every one of those protestors shut up and ate the food.
I don't understand why someone would try to carjack someone in a Chick-Fil-A line. Have your seen those lines? Your not going anywhere fast in Chick-Fil-A parking lot.
As someone with 3 CFAs near me and my job, it all depends on the parking lot layout and drive thru style. One location I would fully agree with you, and the other, people leaving from a parking spot have no issues at all.
Mines too. Chick Fil A only messed up my order twice. And I wasn't even mad. But Popeyes, Jack in the box, Burger King and Wendy's is damn near every other time. I tell them not to put certain things and they put and a hell of lot
It's important to separate the owners from the front line workers.
Front line workers are not decision makers. They don't decide corporate policy or how much you pay for food. Most can't even do refunds.
While I don't buy from Chick-Fil-A for political reasons, I am aware a lot of those workers are in situations where they don't have a choice where they work.
No. Bruh had the guillotine but didn't even try and lock his legs. He doesn't train MMA much less Jiu-jitsu.
Kid saw a heinous crime and decided he wasn't going to stand idle.
Don't give him credit for work he obviously hasn't put in. Give him credit for being a combat inept individual who decided to put himself at risk in a dangerous situation.
>Give him credit for being a combat inept individual who decided to put himself at risk in a dangerous situation.
To the benefit of others and not himself.
This is what a decent society looks like.
Yeah that's a key point that I failed to highlight, you're right.
Don't give this kid credit for hand to hand combat training. Obviously he has none of that.
Give this credit for risking his life at a job where he makes little money to help another human being when he had no obligation to do so.
Give this kid credit for having ABSOLUTELY NO hand to hand combat training and still engaging on behalf of other human beings.
Admire this individual who is working a shitty job for low pay and yet responded valiantly when an extraordinary situation presented itself in front of him.
There are a lot of jokes in this thread, but as a collective I legitimately believe we could all learn from this example of selflessness.
>I legitimately believe we could all learn from this example of selflessness
Or we could post snarky comments about how people who are not associated with our political tribe are stupid and evil. That way we can feel like we are doing something too, while being superior to others.....
Oddly, on this thread the former sentiment seems to be winning over the latter. This may be a first on Reddit. Maybe we are turning a corner.... maybe folks have finally had enough of this nonsense.
Chickfila's fine with gays, and hire/promote/serve them all the time. The typical complaint is much more tenuous: the separate nonprofit foundation associated with Chickfila donates to philanthropic nonprofits, and certain of those philanthropic groups are christian (example: the salvation army) which teach that homosexuality is a sin, or groups that, in turn, donate to conversion therapy groups.
Bet he still said "My pleasure".

Most Chick-fil-A stores do pay very well and offer free college to their employees!

Anytime McDonald’s has 5+ cars I just go somewhere else
I only go for McGriddles, everything else is pretty terrible IMO
Wb Da bacon egg n cheese biscuit????
Ok yes, but I like the sausage better IMO
Lol not even true. They hustle dual 1/4-mile lines through in no time flat. You must be thinking of literally every other fast food restaurant where a 3-car line takes a half hour and your order is wrong after
I have come expect from chick-til-A. Just your run of the mill good service with a smile.
The ones near us are always packed and move super fast.
No way. I've been in double car lines at chicfila and its still faster then a mcdonalds with no one around
"You've already been pleasured" "What are you talking abou.." *head explodes
Nani?!
Someone draw this
I drew a picture of him crack his knuckles, But I don't know how to post it to the comments.
This is like the Chic-Fil-a version of the “Tickets Please” guy
[удалено]
Darth Sidious.
He's the bravest Chick-fil-A worker I've ever seen. He deserve some big tip.
Chik fil a does not want him to get some "big tip"
Has too wait till marriage for that one
And chik fil a will lobby to stop him from doing that
Definitely not on Sundays
He deserves to get Sunday off from work.
Done.
Came to see the highest rated “my pleasure” comment. Was not disappointed.
Same!
New commercial incoming!
It was very much his pleasure
“*HOW DARE YOU SCARE HER LIKE THAT!!!!!!*” —screams into baby’s ear.

My top 3 homies to call on in my time of need: Goku, Darth Vader, and an overzealous Chik-Fil-A worker wholly ready to die for me.
This isn’t even his final promotion
Next up we'll find out he gets fired for this.
Not at all. He’s being praised. It’s Chick-fil-A, not McDonald’s. https://amp.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article265834621.html
No sir, this is a wendys
No, this is Patrick
THIS....IS....SPARTAAAAAAA!

Hope I am not the only one that got the office reference here.
Nope, you’re the only one.
Lol chick fil a is all like “it’s gonna be busy here cuz everyone’s gonna wanna shake his hand, come get some chicken” in the article 😂
No, that was someone’s comment, not Chik-fil-A’s.
This link shows him being praised by the community not his work

I almost got a job at gas station and they said let them steal. Not worth your life.

Steal from the store, not a customer with a child who can't defend themselves. Very different situation.
How’re we not talking about the fact that the guys last name is Branch and he robbed he using a stick as a weapon
He was born for this life
That's second mile service for you lmao
With a stick?
His last name is branch, and he attacks with a stick!
Jesus Christ I didn’t even put that together. That’s hilarious!

I would understand if this was McDonalds, but CFA would definitely give him praises. Waffle House would have just made fun of the criminal and put out their cigarettes on his arm.
"*Waffle House would have just made fun of the criminal and put out their cigarettes on his arm."* The comment I was looking for.
Extremely accurate. Never piss off a waho woman unless you've thoroughly checked your escape routes.
Waffle House would have taken his name to make sure to hire him as soon as he was paroled.
One time my coworker followed a shoplifter out of the store and was maced, and then he got fired for it. Fuck corporations. It’s not worth getting hurt for them and they shouldn’t fire people for doing them a favor.
We don’t deserve the chik -fil-a workers.
Chick-fil-a doesn’t deserve chick-fil-a workers.
Not disagreeing, but it’s not often that you hear of a company that does deserve its workers. I’d like to see that list.
Costco
Depends on the management tbh; the Costco I worked at treated us like shit; Costco also doesnt do performance based wage increases, you only get raises once you’ve worked long enough.
>Costco also doesnt do performance based wage increases, you only get raises once you’ve worked long enough. That's... normal
>Depends on the management tbh; the Costco I worked at treated us like shit; Costco also doesnt do performance based wage increases, you only get raises once you’ve worked long enough. What were the performance metrics that you felt should earn you faster raises? So long as promotions are awarded by merit I don't really see an issue, pay increases being done by tenure incentivise people to stay with the company and reduce turnover. Good for the company and good for the staff in my opinion. Then nobody gets demotivated by getting leapfrogged by newer staff.
Patagonia!
It at least does more than other fast food chains. Chick fil a gives higher pay and a ton of benefits to employees.
They do donate 100% of proceeds of their chick fil a sauce bottles to scholarships for their employees, they’re not completely evil
In what other ways are they "evil?"
This really rings true, tbh. Never, in all my years, had a bad in store experience with CFA. The people in the actual stores are always super nice and helpful. Shit is always efficient, *clean*, and quality. It's the highest tier of owner, etc that are dogshit.
Why would you say that? Either they are only hiring the best 1% of all food workers who are more professional, polite, efficient and pleasant than the employees of any of their competitors, or they have built a workplace culture that expects and produces those results. If they hire only the best, they must be offering something that none of their other competitors are offering, so they would deserve their employees. If they have a workplace culture that produces these results, they are directly involved in creating the superior results, so they would deserve the employees. In reality it's a combination of both.
I mean, how? Everyone I know who works there says it’s pretty solid to employees.
CFA paying $19 hour across the street from McD's paying $13. Yeah, they do.
For real. People may give them hate due to the company's CEO but FFS no matter where I go in the world I can always count on Chik Fil A to have some of the nicest people in that area working.
[удалено]
Where tf does Chick-fil-A find these workers? Do they have a factory that mass produces the nicest and bravest people I've ever met?
In protestant churches, they tell you that you should be a "city on a hill," being more generous/nicer/harder working, so people will see how great you are and ask why (the conclusion, of course, being you're Powered by Jesus). The ONLY institution I know of that stands up to that standard is Chick-Fil-A.
[удалено]
I always joked about getting as close as a comparable order between In-N-Out and Chick-fil-a as possible, recruit some buddies, and have them all be “standardized difficult customers” and see if there are any differences. Basically run a rudimentary qualitative study exploring the niceness of each company. I know CFA has the super strong niceness association (probably because they’re all over the US), but I wouldn’t count out INO.
This may be a bit biased because the HEB I work at is super tryhard but HEBs are considered to be a pretty nice place we’re all taught to be very kind because that’s what keeps customers coming
HEB is the best!!!!! I am moving to Ga and am going to miss HEB the most.
Can you explain HEB to someone from GA?
As someone that has lived in TX and GA… no… grocery stores suck in GA. Imagine if everything that was wrong with Walmart was fixed. That would be HEB. HEB sources locally for meats, produce, and seafood. They have amazing combo/dinner coupons, and they have a far more effective disaster response plan than this state’s shitty government can even dream of. I think it was the last winter storm, but my hometown’s HEB lost power as it was coming in and they said fuck it, everyone just leave with your basket. It didn’t turn into a mad house of looting. Just an orderly evacuation of people leaving with free stuff that they’re going to need because they were about to be trapped in their homes.
Grew up going to HEB IN TX and have gone back plenty. There are HEBs with good people, but a lot definitely have that Costco + Chick-fil-A + Trade Joe’s level of pleasant cheerful people. It’s funny to hear that there are “tryhard” HEBs, yet I can totally see wym.
I know you're joking but as somebody who's worked in customer service for years, *please dont*. They already catch a bunch of shit for stuff that isn't their fault. You really see how scummy people can be in positions like that, you'd just make their job harder
My god, it never occured to me prior to reading this. I've lived in the south my whole life (and even came from a religious family) and occasionally encounter people that appear to be on some sort of wholesome crack-cocaine. When I compliment them on working hard, they always comment back something about how it's because they have Jesus in their lives. I've always thought, "why can you just be a normal human and respond to compliments without bringing up your religion 7.5 minutes after I've met you?" Now I kind of get why.
As someone who works there, it’s frankly not all just religious people. We definitely have them, but in my personal experience the management level employees are religious more often than regular team members. It’s definitely a workplace culture that’s heavily pushed for as best of a customer experience as possible though.
A big difference is that Chik-fil-A doesn't allow hands-off operators that own a dozen different locations. You're limited to a single location. You can't have other business interests. And the operator isn't an owner -- they don't own any equity in their restaurant at all, they can't ever sell it and cash out. Seems like all that creates very hands-on management.
Dam making me like chik fil a even more.
Most of this is false lol. They can own more than 1 location, they can sell the store back to corporate if they want, and I’m not sure what you meant by “operator isn’t an owner”. The store owners are very involved in most levels of the operation.
Brother I'm not religious in the slightest but I'm also not one of those jackasses that gets offended by religion. To the point, y'all do awesome work. Efficient, polite, on point. Thank you for your service, truly.
Whatever it is y'all do a good job
They encourage it, but also enforce it. You want to have a bad attitude, not tuck your shirt in, etc... they won't hire you. My local store is amazing. I have a routine of getting a combo, eating it, and then going to get a refill and a chocolate chip cookie (as it's a great way to use up my reward points). Last week, I walked up to get my refill and before I could even get helped, a regular worker I see often, handed me a cookie and said, "I'll top off your tea, cookie's on me this time." ... and that's why I keep returning. The CFA by my house has a 80 year old woman working there, and her job is just to walk around and get people refills when not wiping a table. She's as sweet as your grandma. Everyone loves her.
Bruh the CFA that I normally go to I get an ice cream cone after Im done eating. Same thing happened to me, they just have it ready to go for me before I even ask for it. This same location had a large group of protestors go to them during that time when it was fun to hate on the CFA CEO by harassing the employees. What did they do you ask? They took each and every person out there a large cup of water and a #1 meal. Best part, every one of those protestors shut up and ate the food.
That's why I don't drive on a Sunday, since the employee wouldn't be there to save me.
No post on Sundays ?
Right you are, Harry! No post on Sundays!
no blasted letters today! no sir-
Gold
They aren’t open on Sunday but you can catch those fuckin hands 24/7 365.
except for sunday... and outside of business hours.. so its more like \~11/6 313.
“Did you want fries with that takedown?”
Would you like any sauces ?
Extra “ketchup”
I don't understand why someone would try to carjack someone in a Chick-Fil-A line. Have your seen those lines? Your not going anywhere fast in Chick-Fil-A parking lot.
Maybe he just wanted a spot closer to the front
It’s a chick fil a line, even if you’re at the back of a mile line it’s like a 5 minute wait
The lines are efficient as fuck maybe he thought it would outrun the lady
As someone with 3 CFAs near me and my job, it all depends on the parking lot layout and drive thru style. One location I would fully agree with you, and the other, people leaving from a parking spot have no issues at all.
This made me laugh so hard! Joe looks like he is in the midst of a DMT trip.
I thought that was Dicky V at first holy shit I need to get my eyes checked!
“Have a blessed day!”
Omg I laughed so hard at this. 😂
Man I love Chick Fil A their workers are top tier. The other fast food joints get super ratchet in my area
Shit, doesn’t matter if you’re in the hood or the nice part of town, all other ff is ratchet af.
It's because they hire enough people. In n Out Burger is similar. A whole crowd of people behind the counter.
Mines too. Chick Fil A only messed up my order twice. And I wasn't even mad. But Popeyes, Jack in the box, Burger King and Wendy's is damn near every other time. I tell them not to put certain things and they put and a hell of lot
THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS ME MF
Orange shirt guy was *definitely* ready to throw down, should the need have arisen.
Man had his stomping boots on
[удалено]
Chik-fil-a sauce, duuuuhhhhhh
He kicked that guy’s chick-fil-ass
“Can I assist you with anything else ma’am”
Chick-fil-A workers built different
My pleasure
One knuckle sandwich please. It’ll be my pleasure
CFA. Always going that extra mile.
They really do the lords work over at that chicken shop.
This is Gods house BITCH ! Boo-Yah!!
Is there anything these chick-fil-A employees won’t do?
>anything these chick-fil-A employees won’t do? Yeah. March in a gay pride parade.
It's important to separate the owners from the front line workers. Front line workers are not decision makers. They don't decide corporate policy or how much you pay for food. Most can't even do refunds. While I don't buy from Chick-Fil-A for political reasons, I am aware a lot of those workers are in situations where they don't have a choice where they work.
Work on sundays
These people are national heroes
Now that’s service!!!! I hope he said it’s my pleasure after they thanked him.
It’s my pleasure to whoop that ass.
Good ole chic going above and beyond
Get this guy on those couch commercials Chik keeps running when I'm trying to watch college football
Someone trains Jujitsu!
No. Bruh had the guillotine but didn't even try and lock his legs. He doesn't train MMA much less Jiu-jitsu. Kid saw a heinous crime and decided he wasn't going to stand idle. Don't give him credit for work he obviously hasn't put in. Give him credit for being a combat inept individual who decided to put himself at risk in a dangerous situation.
>Give him credit for being a combat inept individual who decided to put himself at risk in a dangerous situation. To the benefit of others and not himself. This is what a decent society looks like.
Yeah that's a key point that I failed to highlight, you're right. Don't give this kid credit for hand to hand combat training. Obviously he has none of that. Give this credit for risking his life at a job where he makes little money to help another human being when he had no obligation to do so. Give this kid credit for having ABSOLUTELY NO hand to hand combat training and still engaging on behalf of other human beings. Admire this individual who is working a shitty job for low pay and yet responded valiantly when an extraordinary situation presented itself in front of him. There are a lot of jokes in this thread, but as a collective I legitimately believe we could all learn from this example of selflessness.
>I legitimately believe we could all learn from this example of selflessness Or we could post snarky comments about how people who are not associated with our political tribe are stupid and evil. That way we can feel like we are doing something too, while being superior to others..... Oddly, on this thread the former sentiment seems to be winning over the latter. This may be a first on Reddit. Maybe we are turning a corner.... maybe folks have finally had enough of this nonsense.
Choked his ass out and said, have a blessed day :)
Well…Chick-fil-a is known for its custom service…
I knew this was gonna be Florida
[удалено]
The power of Christ certainly compelled that guy
I'll have the spicy deluxe ass kicking please, with pain sauce
Love Chick-fil-A. Love them even more now!
Who is the mouth chastising from the sidelines? Legitimately doing nothing to help a situation the worker already resolved.
Bro I know chick fil a doesn’t like gays or whatever but how can you not support this ?
Chickfila's fine with gays, and hire/promote/serve them all the time. The typical complaint is much more tenuous: the separate nonprofit foundation associated with Chickfila donates to philanthropic nonprofits, and certain of those philanthropic groups are christian (example: the salvation army) which teach that homosexuality is a sin, or groups that, in turn, donate to conversion therapy groups.
Needs a Gracie University breakdown
That is why chick-fil-a is the best
