  • Enter any Chick-fil-A, and you’ll probably feel like you’ve entered a fast food alternate reality. At Chick-fil-A, the staff genuinely appears happy as they smilingly take your order.
    You have to wonder what’s so joyful about working at Chick-fil-A. Their chicken sandwich might be worth it, but being an employee is probably more than just stuffing your face with some free chicken nuggets in the back - or so we think.
    A bunch of former and current Chick-fil-A employees have spoken out to help us know what’s really going on behind the scenes. Take a look as workers reveal what it’s really like to work at Chick-fil-A.

I have always used that phrase, as it was polite and certainly better than what was floating through my head when serving some of the "people" (insert eyeroll, sarcasm and profanity) that have crossed my path. Dealing with the public is always a crap shoot, yet,I was lucky for the most part, people had better manners back then. I wouldn't last a day at one of these establishments. I have witnessed some really shady stuff by customers - so bad that I contacted the store manager and corporate to defend the employee not the customer. Some people are just evil.

    I worked for Chick-fil-A for about 9 months a few years ago and most of this is very accurate. People would play this kind of game with you to see how many times they could get you to say "my pleasure;" saying thank you way more times than necessary. After a couple months I imposed a personal limit of two "my pleasure's" per guest. I'm a person not a circus monkey. You'd also be surprised at how many people can't say Chick-fil-A. They'd call it things like Chick-filla or Chicka--fill even after you'd say "Welcome to Chick-fil-A."

      Multitasking wasn’t impossible. I worked as a team leader at CFA. I’d be on the phone with a customer, bagging food for the drive-thru and monitoring the front counter rush as well. It’s all about experience and skill. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Drive-thru headset has to take orders and make drinks at the same time and before the double lanes, that one person was in charge of their drinks, ice cream and stocking their area all while taking orders. You were always on the move. Now most places have the double lanes, which splits the duties between two people making it a lot easier.

    It’s easy af, but working at fast food is just like working at any other fast food places. Management takes advantage of the workers (especially the hard working ones) and make them “team leader” which basically means that they do management work but get paid less bc they’re only “team leader”. My chic fil A would schedule me the hardest times only and the higher ups like “shift manager” would take on the easy shifts and make easy money. A lot of times I’d see them work the whole day to get the overtime hours, then leave when it’s closing time which is really the hard and annoying work. Their excuse was that they worked the whole day so they didn’t have to help... but closing is literally a pain in the ass in any fast food if it’s low staffed. So we put in 10x more work and effort to get only a few hours, while they put in way less effort because during open hours there’s a lot of staff helping you so it’s SUPER easy. They cheat the system with their workers 🤷🏽‍♂️

    i feel like the employees are so nice and respectful because they see how many bad incidents take place at pop eyes, kfc and churches lol countless videos and stories of fights and shootings between employees and customers so they are like okay to prevent all that we need to be extra respectful

      My former store we did insane volumes, we are talking about over 26,000 dollars a day, over six million a year and in a population density not as high as you would think. A slow lunch hour is about 155 drive through orders an hour, not including front counter. The chicken is ok, but mostly they are a service based company above everything else.

      You'll be better off I'm sorry that you didn't get it . you have to do three interviews which is dumb and they don't really treat their employees good it's all an act behind the scenes. I worked at a Chick-fil-A for 6 months and I was miserable and mistreated. Thank God I'm not working there anymore

    I work at Chic Fil A in the kitchen. Stressful asf when you have the whole resturant packed inside and the drive thru line going all the way through the parking lot. Its worse when your short people in the back. Its frustrating when you have a full screen of mega orders and your batch of chicken runs out and have to wait for the breader to make more. The Chic-Fil-A i work is kind of small and doesnt have two drive thrus. 😩
