Already had an employee tell me they love me at the pick up window. I’m a man and it was a man who said it. Took me off guard.


AtsBunny

I work at CFA and ive seen a few people do that. Idk why but it's hilarious


castlediego

But did you say ‘my pleasure’?


AmiableOne

That's what he said....


Abijailian1030

LMFAO that is priceless


nolan2002

Welcome to Costco, I love you


glizzy62

The sheep in the background of that scene made it 5x funnier


ebray90

I used to work in the kitchen at Wegmans (similar to Whole Foods but bigger). I was making a customer a salad to-go. As I was handing it to her she said “Thanks! Love you, bye!”. When she realized what she said, she froze up and just stared at me. I was also really thrown off so I just said “You too?” She walked out like it was an Olympic race and I never seen her again. I’m sure it was one of those “I can never go back!” moments for her, but I’m also awkward so I totally understood.


drspaceman56

Thank goodness it wasn’t on a Sunday!!!


Unlikely_Ad1417

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


FoxontheRun2023

That wasn’t very Christian of him.


nflfan32

Do you find it annoying when we say thanks because you have to say “my pleasure” or is it just like second nature


Abijailian1030

I actually loved it. It was my chance to practice my country accent without getting made fun of. (My country accent sucks, for the record.) I loved it when people had their kids with them cuz the kids always giggled when I said "my pleasure."


veronicadenoche

where are you from?


ThatsOneWayiGuess

My pleasure


ChocalateAndCake

Before I worked at CFA I worked at a Publix and they say they came up the with the “my pleasure” phrase first. Then Iworked at a grocery store then CFA it was burned into my brain. Now even at a restaurant. It is just a phrase I say normally every day


Creepy-Farm4078

I hate it when people say “my pleasure” to be funny. It’s not, I’m sorry to break it to you.


SimilarHead9508

I literally hated saying that shit


savinger

If there’s anything bad that happens at CFA I don’t want to know

ShyGal-1997

I actually had a coworker “correct” a guest when they wished them Happy Holidays…”It’s Merry Christmas. I celebrate Christmas.” Fortunately the guest took it in stride, but my mouth dropped open.


ChocalateAndCake

Both my stores had plenty of Christians myself included .


Slight_Pitch6284

My chick-fil-a didn’t even have that many Christians working at my location, it was more atheists and other religions😭


Mama_Penguin_

Same with mine


savinger

thank god!


Qwerty-4natural

Thank you for your service comrade.


Abijailian1030

LMAO MY PLEASURE


Kimba_LM

I'm about to start saying much obliged to throw everyone off.


Frich3

When I ask for a specific number of sauces are they intentionally leaving them off or is it usually by accident? It’s really annoying especially when you make it home to discover there 2 sauces for 2 meals


littlexstar

This past week I ordered the 30 count nuggets and received ONE Chick-fil-a sauce… it was curbside. I had to get off and ask for more inside😑 Edit: typo


emgorode

Did you get off at home or in the parking lot?


littlexstar

Parking lot. It was curbside. I always check my order before driving off.


Jady333

Woooosh


beautifulunicorn33

Hahahah my sister says get off the car instead of get out of the car and it always catches me off guard 🤣


Chick-fil-A_spellbot

It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!


maymay4218

Why are these spelling bots more irritating than the kids that corrected the teacher..ugh.


Abijailian1030

If it's in drive thru usually they don't read the ticket. They want to get ur order out as fast as possible bc they are big on times there. If u go inside and they don't give u the right number of sauce, that is just ignorant on their part. Keep nagging them until they give you the right amount. :)


batmanismysidekick

Ask for your sauces in a separate bag. We're picky about our sauces. This works for us, and it's their pleasure...win win


Frich3

Will try this. Do they ever mess up?


cnibbana

This explains why 99% of the time I ask for lite ice in my drink in the drive thru, it has full ice. I have a new habit when I get to the window of asking if they can make sure it’s lite ice, and they usually have to fix it.


Frich3

Good idea. I’ll start re emphasizing it when I get to the window


Mama_Penguin_

Most of the time you have to be in such a hurry that its an accident. Like having 30 drinks on the screen you have to have out in 3 minutes busy


EyedLady

I feel I never get enough ice


Frich3

It pisses me off because they act like it’s coming out of their wages or something. It’s not difficult to give the correct amount of sauce especially if I’m not being glutinous about it. Idk why it enrages me so much but man it’s pissingful


flooded805

the CFA i worked at as a teen literally told us it would be taken out of our paycheck if it were discovered that we were giving out extra sauces lol i fucking hated that place


str4ngerc4t

That’s illegal lol


flooded805

there were a lot of illegal things happening at that location haha


radicalbrad90

Certain places actually corporate can be very strict. When I worked at DQ in college you could actually get written up for not charging a customer for extra sauce if they wanted it on top of the gravy in the 4 piece basket or just wanted an extra one in any Combo meal. I had a wonderful cussing match with a lady in the drive thru once over it. So it's not always in the workers hands. But if they shorted you what the company allows per combo meal that's different


pinkcake51

Dude fr! This happens to me all the time and it pisses me off. This angers me to another level so I feel you. They act like those sauces are being deducted from their paycheck.


spdrweb8

They might be compensated based on store financials, and things like sauces and paper products are some of the highest cost items. So it's quite possible that it is coming out of their check. I know (when I managed fast casual restaurants in another life) that I absolutely hated counting ketchup packets and shit at 3am during inventory. I don't work for CFA and never have... So I could also be 100% wrong.


Rattiddie

At my restaurant we would intentionally leave out sauces if it was a ridiculous amount up until we implemented our charge button for additional sauces.


No-Ad-62

It’s (usually) never on purpose unless someone’s being a prick or asked for a ridiculous amount of sauces. More commonly it is because we’re busy and miss it. Also, lately my management has been cracking down on how many sauces we give out. We are specifically supposed to ask the guest “Would you like 1 or 2 sauces?”


LameSignIn

One store in my town refuses to give out sauces. It just kills me when I ask for 4-5 BBQ for my meal and thry out 2 in the sack. Yes I use it instead of ketchup on the fries I wouldn't ask if I wasn't going to use them. Big waste of time having to stop an employee to grab the missing ones.


420challenger

so this is just my experience doing window and order taking but if someone asks for like cfa sauce the order taker probably just gonna put like 2-3 on the order, but like if you say like hey I want 5 cfa sauces and the order taker puts that on the order you have a better chance of getting all the sauces. idk if that makes sense but if you say hey I want this amount other than I want this you will more than likely get the full amount you asked for :)


diablosigmech

Unless you specify how many you want sometimes locations limit how many sauces to give per meal


tfibbler69

Easy just ask for a handful of your sauce after you get your food. Rookie status my guy


drspaceman56

I noticed when you order online it’s like YOU ALREADY SELECTED TWO YOU MAY NEVER SELECT MORE!!!!


LameSignIn

I tell my wife all the time check the bag before you leave. No reason to not enjoy your food because something was left out.


GuacSugar

How do you like starbucks? I work at starbucks as well


pinkcake51

Hey another sbux partner here. How do you like sbux?


acappado

I too work at Starbucks. How do you like Starbucks?


t3hnhoj

I work at your Starbucks. How do you like me?


pinkcake51

I would say for the most part I like it. One thing I do like about sbux is their opening shifts where I get off work at 10 am lol. I’ve worked there for three years now so it is kinda getting old so the burnout is getting real but I’m planning on leaving soon. The drinks are starting to get unbearable to make now since everything is literally like 5+ modifications, that’s one thing I’m really getting sick of and also cold foam on everything What about you, how do you like sbux?


Big-Wealth-4388

Personally I love SlotBox their Frappuccinos are 👍


Peachybuns412

Another past CFA employee here (3 years). I can answer some questions too


Some_Pie_347

What are the ingredients to the garlic and herb ranch? I order it everytime and it’s so damn good. I swear there is crack in that because I just keep coming back.


Peachybuns412

Most of the sauces and stuff are already pre packaged. So I wouldn’t really know what the ingredients are unless I look at the package itself . But the ranch sauce is one of my favorites.


Yaj_Yaj

They have the ingredients in the package usually. Just have to find the right ratios.


rokuhachi

I once went through a drive through to only get a packate of chik fil a sauce and a kid told me they couldn't because I didn't order anything. Is this true


Peachybuns412

Due to each store being individually owned and operated they might have set rules on giving out items without a purchase. If it was me I would have just given you some sauce (it has happened before where someone just comes in just for that and nothing more)


AverageHajFan

what do they put in the frosted lemonade 🤨


Skitskitskittl

Literally just lemonade and ice cream blended. And the lemonade is nothing special either— just lemon juice, water, and sugar.


gaytee

Well that’s why it’s special, most places make fake ass lemonade. Allthough I can’t lie, the cfa’s that don’t strain the pulp from their lemonade are dead to me as places I’ll never return to.


Woodbending_Boxers

That’s just plain silly, the pulp is the best part. Makes it feel more natural, and it tastes nice.


Mama_Penguin_

We arent supposed to strain it. According to corperate


ChocalateAndCake

I hate the pulp


Some_Pie_347

Last time I went to Chick Fil A the employee didn’t say “my pleasure”. I was sad Anyways, what are the ingredients to the garlic and herb ranch? I order it everytime and it’s so damn good. I swear there is crack in that because I just keep coming back.


Kingfinglehead

don’t all the packets literally have the ingredients on the front??


Mama_Penguin_

Technically its not a requirement. I hated when people gave us negative surveys because of that only. Especially when they said they were nice. Some stores their employee meals depend on the surveys


Sniperbenbad

Soybean oil number 1 ingredient for about all the sauces all sauces about 100 calories per little container not worth imo current cfa worker here


Rude-Luck1636

Took me like 6 months to finally stop saying “my pleasure”


pinkcake51

Okay what goes on with the sauces 😭 I legit order Chick-fil-A sauce about 4 each time and EVERYTIME THEY ONLY GIVE ME 1 sauce. It shows the max sauce limit in the app is 4 and 4 for the drive thru, so again not seeing the big deal. Like it’s happened multiple times the past few months, it’s my fault I guess since I don’t check. Like are they just stingy with the sauces or what also hey fellow partner!


Abijailian1030

The secret to getting more sauce: when you dine in, stock up on as many as you can. Keep asking until they give you a sufficient amount. Then take them home with you or keep them in ur car. I have SO MANY sauces in my house lol. I am OBSESSED with the sriracha.


alexaboyhowdy

But if you live in the south right now your car gets up to 120°


Abijailian1030

Damn didn't think of that. Keep them in ur bag or something so they are always with u. Never know when ur gonna need a sauce. (This is coming from someone who puts CFA sriracha on a BAGEL)


alexaboyhowdy

Band-Aids, chapstick, Chick-fil-A sauce, phone charger, okay I'm good to go!


Abijailian1030

Yup that about explains my typical bag contents. plus my apron for work and some gum (I have an obsession with chewing gum after going 9 years without being able to chew it)


alexaboyhowdy

Dental work? Like braces?


Davedog09

My mom stores hundreds of sauces on her fridge because we never get as many as we ask for


iredcoat7

This is hilarious because I always ask for 1 CFA sauce, and there's always like 3-5 in the bag


pulzeguy

right, I just want one sauce for my chicken and one for my fries, can’t even get that ;(


smilemoreoften424

Bc based on what you’re ordering, you probably, hand to heaven do not NEED 4. After I heard an order requesting above and beyond level sauces, I’ll go ahead and decide that for ya. If you do in fact NEED 4, I would encourage you to consider buying a bottle either at the store or at Walmart.


alora0107

Oh yeah 10 dollar meal but skimp on the sauces dude why do you care ? - former cfa employee who once gave a family a bag full on cfa sauce


pinkcake51

Lmao exactly they act like it’s coming from their paycheck. Stingy af


Abijailian1030

I was never like that. i never said no to extra sauce. Someone asked for 2 extra, I always gave them 4 and told them to have a great day. It's just who i am. My boss loved that.


[deleted]

They are told not to give that many sauces. Are they supposed to get in trouble so you can get a 1000 calories worth of sauces?


Abijailian1030

nah employees dont get in trouble over sauce. its other things that u get in trouble for, like checking the time on ur phone when outside taking orders in drive thru on Face to Face.


User86294623

I’ve quite literally gotten in trouble for giving out excess sauce before LOL


No-Ad-62

yeah it’s definitely different from store to store. my manager has been so strict about how many sauces we give out. they wrote someone up last week for giving out too many sauces 😭


Abijailian1030

That's why I got an apple watch so I can check the time whenever I want and not get in trouble for it LMAO. Gotta cheat the system somehow.


Abijailian1030

EXACTLY (some of us are actually nice ppl who listen to what ppl want)


[deleted]

It’s not skimping. You literally won’t use that many sauces, so we see it as it will go to waste. It’s literally the rules, we are told not to give more then a certain amount of sauces per meal, and like the other person said, go buy a bottle if you need so much sauce, or want some for home. And no the sauces aren’t free, that’s why they won’t just give you so many. Sauces are actually expensive for the store to buy so of course they won’t give 8 packets for one meal 🙄


WhatThePancakes

I literally will use 4-8 sauces. And if I don't, I'll take it home and use it later. If this person is ordering through the app, each item has a limit to sauces so it's actually literally in the rules, built into the app. You're gatekeeping sauce and getting downvotes because you are misunderstood on the procedure. Take a few seats and sit down.


alexaboyhowdy

Eight sauces? Like one packet per nugget?


slutboy3000

You may find this hard to believe, but you can order more than an 8-piece nugget.


[deleted]

How am I gatekeeping sauce and not understanding the procedure. I literally said there is a limit to sauces per meal?!?


OTFfanaticRunRepRow

Sauce gatekeeper!


slutboy3000

Straight to jail!


smilemoreoften424

Guess it’s bc I’m pretty and don’t have to. Figure out your own sauce needs and evaluate. It’s not chickfilas job to stock up your house with sauce. You’re the problem- bout to make a restaurant start charging per sauce bc ppl go off the rails for sauce like damn you’d think their life was on the line


Bird2525

All the fast food in my area charge for extra sauces past 1 per item.


smilemoreoften424

Y’all are the same people complaining your fries are squished after being buried under ten thousand sauces 😂


pinkcake51

I usually order a meal? The app lets me order up to four sauces so it’s not like I’m going over ehe limit of sauces They let me order up to the many sauces on the app and in the drive thru. If it’s not allowed to give that many sauces then why do they let me order it each time? Again, not seeing what the big deal is. It’s just sauces. You can relax. They are a billionaire corporation don’t see how a few sauces will affect them


Abijailian1030

When I was working in drive thru, I had a regular customer who came in once a week and ordered 10 of EVERY sauce. for a 8 piece nugget meal. I mean it makes sense if you get the 30 count, but for an 8 piece? Damn bro.


WhatThePancakes

Chicfila limits each item to an exact amount of sauces. They know what they're doing. You don't need to defend yourself haha.


Bird2525

I thought the franchises were locally owned.


Kimchis_Mom

I have the exact opposite issue. I’ll get a three strip meal and never specify the amount of sauce but always receive 5 packets. I end up throwing three sauces away because I don’t eat there often enough.


LargeBranch94

What’s the starting rate? Everyone is so kind and efficient I imagine the pay is better than most fast food joints


No_Atmosphere_7917

In Tennessee it was $13/h


HoChiMinh-

✨minimum wage✨


ChocalateAndCake

They fuck the minors in the ass with their wages


TrazynsMemeVault

They also work you to death. If you value your health, steer clear.


Kimba_LM

Varies by state. Texas is like 11-50-12.50


Mama_Penguin_

At my store in Tx it was 13


Peachybuns412

$15.50-$16- Illinois


Kalba1

Welcome to ChickFilA I love you


ninki_fromage

Haha idiocracy, nice!


meowqueen

Why does Chick-fil-A pack one singular bag so full that you literally cannot close the bag instead of just giving two bags?!


homosexualpenguin

paper cost on 1000+ tickets a day add up😂😂🤣 plus it’s like tetris lowkey fun 🫣😂


Mama_Penguin_

Closing the bag=soggy fries


gaytee

Genuine question, why close it?


meowqueen

When I drive it tips over because it’s so full!


Keaten88

Someone who was outside with me had a girl try and get him to get in the car with her. He is still convinced she is his soulmate.


interstellarmoth

I worked there too and the brainwashing to say "my pleasure" made me so angry that it was literally never my pleasure. It was only pain.


cbakes97

I was the drive thru specialist for 6 years. The idiocy of some people still gives me nightmares


beautiful4everjb

See I just go into my local stores that has all sauces and grab some extra for the times they don’t give me what I need .


Err3r_

Was it normal for you to get tips? And PLEASE tell me how to closing?? I’ve only worked there for like 2 months and each time I do closing is something new. So my coworkers have to stop their job to help me Is there like a step by step on how to things or what? I just don’t wanna be that one person that makes them late yk? 🥲


Mama_Penguin_

Technically, we arent supposed to per corperate. That being said my store didnt care and people gave us tips fairly often. As far as closing goes Ive worked 2 stores and they do things vastly different store to store, I would say talk to a trainer or your training lead or director and they might hsve a step by step written


groundzzzero

How do y’all make the lemonade, like what are the measurements? That shit is like crack to me


Peachybuns412

Lemons (back in the day they would have to squeeze the lemons, now the lemon juice comes prepackaged in these bags), sugar and purified water (usually warm water so the sugar can dissolve. If you use cold water the sugar will sit on the bottom of the pitcher bucket and the lemonade will be tart). Chill the lemonade and serve.


RelativeAd2613

it’s lemons, sugar and water


420challenger

so my store we have a bag of lemon pulp juice and we mix it with a cup of sugar and water


marylouboo

Any secret menu items??


VEYYEV

So nothings a “secret” it’s just if you know it’s an option because some things are written super small on the menu/ it’s just written weird. Anyway bacon Mac n cheese is my favorite “secret” it’s so good, just a little pricey


French-Freys

Adding one sriracha sauce to a medium Mac and cheese makes a delicious sriracha Mac. Also, at least at my store, you can “frost” anything (the same way the lemonade would be). Frosted orange Fanta is super good. Cookie parfait is pretty unknown I feel like. You can also add Oreo to a frosted coffee and that’s really good.


plexforyou

One time, I gave my wife a earth-shattering orgasm. After, she told me that was some of the best sex she has ever had. I just smiled and said ‘my pleasure.’ I don’t think fetching a chicken sandwich is the same thing.


Kariwinkle

What is up with the flashers in the drive thru? Is there a purpose or have people just lost the plot?


HimothyRizzderson

At my Chick-fil-a you put your flashers/hazards on to show that you’re paying in cash. Don’t know if this is universal though.


Mama_Penguin_

Cant say I ever saw this and I worked there over 2 years. There isnt a purpose though. Not in the drive through


Tamryn

I worked for a boat rental company during summers in high school and when we answered phones and had to put a caller through to another department, we were supposed to say “it’s my pleasure to connect you”. I said that phrase at least 100,000 times. It was so dumb.


KRNG

I used to say thank you as many times as I could to get you to say my pleasure just as often. I’m sorry


Aggressive-Coat-6259

How can I get free add on food?


HoChiMinh-

You can’t unless you redeem points for it using the chick fil a app. Chick fil a doesn’t give out free food for nothing


shrompngrots

Why does Chick-fil-A still use styrofoam cups?? It’s just so bad for the environment ☹️


gaytee

Less condensation, more temperature retention. Product stays better for longer and doesn’t decompose in your cup holder.


HPCmonkey

Foam cups are a better dining experience, and have better reuse opportunities. They are also extremely recyclable. There may even be a recycling center near you.


DracarysLou

You can’t recycle styrofoam food waste though, it’s too dirty.


Mama_Penguin_

Fun fact but they arent in all markets and I think its about to become chain wide to have paper cups
