r/ChickFilAWorkers

I work at chick fil a and have been for a year and a half now… I forgot to add a white bun to my employee order twice. (Got comfortable with forgetting because I thought everyone was chill there and I also seen managers let them save breakfast/lunch items.. and before breakfast is even over too) and I’m not sure if someone snitched or they went fishing but long story short I got terminated for “food thief”. Mind you I tried to get my vacation hours out the way and requested a week before this and they had ignored it all week, but were accepting my shift drops for people , because I was planning on leaving to a new chick fil a so of course I was trying to get my pay out from vacation before I left… and honestly.. I don’t want to sound full of myself and say they did this out of pettiness but also I think someone maybe seen me and snitched… mind you im 23 yrs old… a 30yr woman has made work for me so draining the past year and a half.. who hates me and I’m not sure why. but long story short… is it possible some chick fil as don’t handle situations in the best way? Or is it just the choice of directors and gms and also managers? I just wish I didn’t let myself get comfortable with people there because this is how it turned out for me, I guess i can say people are highly favored when it comes to some jobs.

I went to my location today to give one of my managers a handwritten letter of my one week notice. I was a shift lead in training so I was nervous to tell them and felt really bad because I basically wasted everyone’s time, but I got hired at my dream job basically so sadly cfa had to go (also ngl. Food service is hell and I hate working here). The funny thing is they already modified my schedule to take me off any shifts i had for this week plus they removed my access to all group chats and documents. So fair warning if you put in a two weeks notice they will just immediately fire you 😭😭 I still have a manager swipe & restaurant key though so idk if they’ll want those back or not lmao

So I’ve applied at CFA but I have always noticed that most of the employees are younger like teens or maybe 20s. Does CFA have any crew members in their 30s 40s or older?

For reference I’m 42 and looking for a whole new industry to go into so my eyes went to Chick.

I recently got hired at Chick-fil-A and my onboarding is scheduled from 10 AM to 5 PM. I was expecting it to maybe be an hour or 2 as at many of my previous jobs my onboarding usually didn’t last more than an hour.
before, what usually happens during chick fil a onboarding? Is it mostly paperwork and videos, or do they start training you that same day too?

I’m BADLY obsessed with the granola. HOW DO I GET MY HANDS ON SOME?

Haiii!

I was set for an online interview yesterday. 2:30 to 3pm. I had my notes, my resume (printed) and everything else set up. I waited, clicked on the link at 2:30pm and entered the virtual waiting room. got the "please wait for the host to let you in" message.

2:31

2:33

2:36
.....

Nobody picks up. I message my mom that i'm still waiting.

2:40

2:43

2:47

I WAIT FOR GENUINELY THE ENTIRE HALF HOUR. I refreshed the link a few times, my mom messages the interview (waiting for a response) and I contact the help line they linked. Nobody responds at all.

I stay on the line until 3:17.

Apparently, the interviewer sends my mom a message. "I waited in the chat for 5 minutes. after that, it's considered a missed interview. :("

CHAT WHERE!? Both of the links they gave went to Google Meet. My dad checked the link on his side, too. Nada. I saw NO OPTION for a chat anywhere, not in the waiting room either.

I'm so disappointed. I was really looking forward to this interview, and did my best to be prepared, on time and in a good environment for the call. All for nothing.

I believe we're going to try and reschedule, as well as visit the location I was applying for in person.

Can anyone tell me what could have happened? Or what I could have possibly done wrong? I just assumed that the interviewer might have been on the wrong platform and not noticed, like Zoom or something of the like that does offer a chat window. Help!!

I was recently hired and I was wondering if there’s anything I should know or get ahead of for orientation. (FOH if that changes anything)

I took this mom’s order in the drive thru and was met with her daughter who was playing with some cards with pictures. I said she must be very happy and the mom told me she’s on the spectrum as a level 2 non verbal. I responded saying that I am too, I am actually AuAdhd (mix of autism and ADHD), she said she had questions because her daughter was experiencing her first period and didn’t know how to express it. I told her that’s perfectly understandable, in fact I would use drawings and pictures as a way of communicating when I was her age, and I asked if she’s ever heard of American Girl? She said no, and I told her they have books for girls who are starting puberty or any other things, I mentioned that it has a chapter about periods that will help guide her through to help her figure out her own experience. The mom thanked me after and I finished her order. I have worked at Chick Fil A for 2 years, and I’m happy to say that was one of my best interactions.

Has anyone else quitted without notice ? If so does your last check get deposit into your bank or do they print it out on a paper

I am attempting to apply for a chick fil a job in the state of louisiana while being under 18 but over 14. I want to be sure, do I apply first, get hired and then get my work permit?

So my 17yo son has been having such difficulty with getting his pre-scheduled phone interviews done. The past two days, the hiring agency person has said they would call at a specific time and then, it wouldn't go through. He's tried with multiple different phones on multiple different time slots too. Then they send an email afterwards saying they missed hearing from him.

He's really discouraged and would rather just go in the store and talk a REAL person. But I guess some companies get so big that they outsource all their hiring and get caught up in the technology to the point where it inhibits progress.

I find it ironic that a company that prides itself on customer service can't even talk to potential employees face to face.

hello ! i recently got hired at CFA as a FOH part-time worker. this will be my first actual job i’ve ever had, i’m scheduled to have my orientation next wednesday, what should i expect for orientation and when should i expect my first day to be? any tips and tricks for the job would be greatly appreciated :D

I just had like a 50 year old woman who's order I was taking make a 67 joke. This is like the 5th time and I've only worked here for like a week 😂

Hi, everyone! I had my first day of orientation tonight. I have a septum piercing and was planning on flipping it up for every shift, but the speaker said we can’t do that when she was giving her appearance speech. She works at a different restaurant so I’ll never see her and I was wondering if it’s common for the shift leads to look up your nose at the start of every shift or if I’ll be fine.

It’s kinda been stressing me out because I don’t know how to take it out and I also don’t want to…help!!

Taking a trip Wednesday, Thursday and Friday just did my interview today. Is that a major concern? Should I cancel my trip I’ve been having this trip planned for almost a year.

Does more food expire since they are closed Sundays? Also what gets thrown away end of day or in general?

Just did my interview how many days until they get back to me and would they call me if I got rejected
