What It's Like To Work At Chick-Fil-A 

i don't know why i'm here watching this. i work at chick-fil-a. i have two finals tomorrow. why am i like this.

Fast food workers are some of the hardest workers in America. I give them a lot of respect for keeping America going when we need something fast to eat.

I worked for Chick-fil-A back in the 1980's. This is pretty much the way I remember it. Not a lot has changed. One of my favorite jobs ever.

It's like she has no clue about sanitation raising her hands for high fives all the time!!

“Do you ever just eat the fries?” Manager: “no it’s against policy” Proceeds to eat fry 😂

“Right out of the oven” I could’ve sworn that was a fryer 🤔

I just got hired by them today! The interview seemed nerve-racking at first, I got interviewed by 2 Operators and 1 Director, but if you're genuine and open up with them and telling them that you're communicative, very team-oriented, and understanding, you'll do great in the interview. Wish me luck :D

I hate watching this on a Sunday. Lol. Monday morning I’ll be there.

Chik fil a employee here and her shirt must be tucked in and she would still be required to wear a hair net with that long of hair you can't double drop the fries in the same henny..guys ima have an aneurism 💀

I worked at chick fil a for about 6 years. I loved every minute of it. Great staff, great people, just the customers sometimes though🙄

I worked at at Chic fil a 3yrs as a cashier on a college campus. I loved it. The students were more patient and friendlier.

"Dating not mating for the pickles" Very funny : )

Pickles not touching, just as God intended

Them chicken biscuits 🔥 tho!

That's why in the kitchen you elbow bump

Kinda sad that they left out front of house employees

Why am I watching this. I’ve been working here for 2 years

I worked at chick Fil a ilang it’s such a nice experience. All of the employees are nice and pleasant. The food I can vouch that they’re always fresh and clean, and the ambiance always has positivity. And yes, its my pleasure to have worked to CFA ☺️

The employees were probably annoyed cause they had to deal with this inexperienced gjrl

You can see why they are doing well as a business. Good team morale.

Thumbs up if your orders have always been made correctly!!

Lol working at Chick-fil-a is super duper stressful. I feel so bad for our grill team sometimes during that lunch order

It makes me sad that i didn't try Chick-Fil-A until i was about 18 because i thought the chicken sandwiches were going to be like the ones i tried back in School (which were trash) when i finally tried one i literally have to go at least once a week now 😂

Nice to know that they actually make the things they serve, minus the fries but based on what I saw before, I trust that they’re actually made good instead of the other ways companies make fries.

i have my cfa interview tomorrow, wish me luck!

I worked at a mall CFA, running the whole back of house during night shifts. It was hard work, but easily the best job I've had. Leaving it was a mistake.

2:45 “Now you gotta change your gloves!” *laughs painfully*

I’ve been wanting Chick-Fil-A for literal weeks, and now I want it even more

chick-fil-a is such a pure fast food joint. even the workers are so nice.

I have an interview Friday, hopefully will finally get to leave Pizza Hut And the pay jump from 8.30 to 12 dollars an hour will be nice. Wish me luck

Loved CFA before. This video just makes me respect them even more. Love that they’re so careful with raw chicken handling procedures and glove changing. And I like the way they work well as a team Sigh. Now I’m craving CFA, and I can’t get it until Monday! (Although, I’ll admit that that fact is, actually, another thing I love about them - may not like that I can’t eat there on Sundays, but I admire them for taking that day off.)

Those folks work so hard. The food always tastes so good. Any Chick-fil-A I've ever been to is always busy. I wish there was one closer than 20 mi from me. You guys are so appreciated by me.

Love this! I used to work at Chick-Fil-A for four years in Atlanta. But my role wasn’t in the kitchen, so this was pretty cool to see! ✌🏻

This video actually taught me how to do fries 😂like two days after I saw it, they asked me to help BOH (back of house), who directed me to the fries. They didn’t have to teach me how to do it thanks to this video, hahahahaha! Thanks! 😂

This June will be a year that I have worked for Chick Fil A and I don’t regret it. I absolutely love working for this company

this chat thread is so wholesome with all the chik employees in here

They are hardworking staff yet mostly underrated and looked down by management. I hope they get the best salary package the company could offer and more opportunity to advance in life.

this "reporter" is super cringe. like hey look at me I'm a clueless person hahaha aren't I so cute?!

This is why there food is sooo good! It's made from scratch. I love you Chick-fil-A!😍

Now I know why my sister is always so tired when she comes home from working at chick fil a

Is no one gonna talk about that handsome breader?

I'm craving chick-fil-a sooo much now! luckily it's Saturday! :D

CFAis our favorite stop for a quick and great meal. Can honestly say we have NEVER had a bad meal or service. The atmosphere is so pleasant and cheerful, and clean. This is how others should do business.

i went to this exact chick fil a in new york and im from california. it was my first time ever trying and i became obsessed. it was so good

I remember eating CFA for the first time and OH MY GOD THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! Lol and the waffle fries are life 😍😍😍😍

LOL! I can 100% tell you - while they do try to keep the kitchen clean and clutter free... it doesn't look like this. This must have been filmed before 9am on any given day because once 9am hits and those breakfast orders start rolling in, that biscuit table does not look that pristine and the rest of the kitchen doesn't either. They are quite good at keeping things in a general area but (lids, containers, etc.) but it never looks like this except in the mornings before 9am and maybe the last two hours on a weekday night. They really should have shown rush hour during lunch or supper. LOL! THAT would have given you a better idea... That being said - it's a pretty impressive operation and to see how it all works together is almost mind blowing. You also can't even begin to know how hard those people in the kitchen work each shift. There is A LOT going on and A LOT to keep up with. No one is "just" taking care of the mac and cheese, or fries, or hash browns, etc. Case in point, the person handling Mac & Cheese, also handles grilled chicken options, salads, cookies, brownies, soup, and they are not only responsible for dipping all of that but they are also responsible for making sure soup is put in the "cooker" and transferred when needed to the hot holding station, they're also responsible for making sure there's enough M&C not only in the warmer (they go through a pan almost every 5-10 minutes during rush hours, sometimes less than that...), they are also responsible for making sure mac & cheese is in the oven and will be ready on time... (time management). And that's just one "station". The sandwich stations are even busier and much crazier than that and there is a lot of strategy and critical thinking that goes into it. It's not just make one order at a time. (Keep in mind, some locations have three drive through LANES (not merger like McD's, BK, and most other fast food) so the people running those stations are making multiple orders at a time for three lanes of drive thru on top of what is often a full dining room as well.) And yet, the amount of completely made fresh - made and baked on site is unreal. Literally, the entire menu is made fresh on site with a few exceptions, depending on location (cookies and brownies). All produce is washed and prepped fresh each day on site... The operation and logistics of this company and how they create such a quality product with epic service to boot is impressive. You would do yourself well to see one in full mode during rush hour for lunch or supper - that's where you really get the full picture of it all. Phenomenal operation.

Great video! I love chick-fil-a so much!❤️😎👍🏼🙏🏼

I love Chick-Fil-A, while I was doing my masters at OSU, I worked for it for about 6 months. I love the chicken sandwich, chicken strips and fries. I miss them a lot.

I currently work at a Chick-fil-A and it’s awful. Managers are terrible power hungry people and pay is terrible for what you have to endure on a regular basis

Being the guy who breads all the chicken products was extremely stressful during lunch time, especially on Saturdays.

I visited New York during Christmas 2018 from Tennessee. We have TONS of Chick Fil A’s down here, but the ones in NYC were the absolute BEST!

Jaquills aka the Biscuit masters smile is so heartwarming

I'm a chick-fil-a employee for stillwater love the people there even though work can be kinda stressfull due to a ridiculous amount of business.

4:26 when they say do 2 but you really need 4

I'm literally watching this on a Sunday.

This is the best company with the best Southern hospitality 😍🥰😘

The biscuits are BOMB and the chicken minis

You can tell she can't cook.

Chick-Fil-a was one of the best jobs I had, after retiring. Great people, great environment and the food. Sundays off are sweet also

Honestly you did the hard jobs at chick fil a👏🏼 I’m proud of you

I can't wait to quit my job at Chick-fil-A 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

You can't help but smile when you prepare the Lord's Chicken.

I love Chick-Fil-A, Their food is so good.

They took away my favorite breakfast item, the southwest chicken breakfast burrito! Man that thing was so good.

I showed up at Chick-fil-A to buy some lunch yet no one waited on me. Drive through was empty. Doors were locked? I'm like WTH? I thought to myself #RUDE . What a great way to spend my Sunday. I was told after i got home they are closed sundays...duh to me. I went back the next day. Nice staff fast and reasonable prices. The nuggets are great imo. They didnt make it off the lot. Time to buy more.

Watching this on a Sunday sucks 😩

This is so helpful for when I get a job at Chick-fil-A so it doesn't seem awkward 😭😭

Chick fil-a,Head breader and machines-men here from spring Texas:) love my co-workers!

“They cannot have holes” *laughs in works at chick fil a where more than half of the pickles sent out have a hole in them*

Doing that day in and day out gets depressing real fast 😓

I love this Chick-Fil-A location. They are SO AWESOME. I went there and threw up (I’m pregnant) and the staff was so nice they gave me free food since I threw mine up and helped me clean it up. They even asked me to make sure it wasn’t the food that made me sick. I love the chain but that franchise is just so damn sweet

So excited and happy over a frozen fry 🤣

"iv been through like 20 pairs of gloves already today" Me: If only you new how rare those would be 6 months from then lol

proud Chick Fil A employee here in Chicago :)

This is why I love chic fil a

Chick fil a is the greatest fast food chain in the world and I truly appreciate how inclusive they are

the location i worked at the employees was very lazy, bad attitudes, and just mean for no reason the store manger is very disrespectful me and him had a couple of words he tried to call me a lier and i just went off. They think they can talk to you any kind a way w out saying anything back to them. The mangers also showed favoritism to other employees it just wasn’t fair. working there was miserable im kinda glad i got fired after all😂😂

Why am I watching this on a sunday

My first job when I was a teen, worked there for almost 6 years, met all my gf's and my future ex-wife at my store. :) Love, love, love the CFA biscuit with cheese!

thats why employees are so kind

Now I want Chick-fil-A But it’s *SUNDAY*

Tbh I would work there if they gave me free chicken sandwiches and not money...

Good job girl, Great video!

What a lovely bunch of workers there.

i go to Chick-fil-a almost every week 😂😍

Very good company love chick fil a

Had a chicken supreme yesterday.....love Chik Fil A

I applied to work at chick fil a so this video should help thanks

I worked at CFA back in high school. Too much positivity can get annoying sometimes. Working at CFA isn’t as great as people might think.

I’ve been to that chick-fil-a loll

No matter what time I pass by a Chick-Fil-A it's always busy (except Sunday of course), so they must be doing something right.

Wow very nice. Ya all looked like you were enjoying it too

IT IS STRESSFUL. I’m a cashier and I also work window. Some people are rudeeeee!!!!!! And the people inside with me are fake asfffff

If McDonald's did this type of video, we'd all be throwing up.

I was working with them a few years back it had an excellent manager when we were not busy he makes us fried pickles and spicy nuggets a few times not quite often

0:57 hahahaha! "use the handles" the expression on her face :p

I work in the kitchen at Chick-fil-A and dang they got a humongous kitchen in this video! Ours is tiny! And, yes, I go through probably 25 pairs of gloves in a five hour shift. Anytime you handle one food you gotta switch gloves before you handle a different kind, and then anytime you touch anything that could be dirty, like the ladder to get down more containers or your drink cup or whatever you gotta wash your hands then put on new gloves. And let me tell you those gloves are powdery as all get out, my clothes, my hat, my face, it all look like I was tossing pizzas all day. And the guy who breads the chicken at my location sells marijuana. And I work with a lady named Juana. What a place to work at.

I wanted chic fil a today but it’s Sunday Like if that’s ever happened to you Edit: today’s Monday so I’m gonna get me some chicken

This made me hungry

im gonna work at chick fil a soon; thanks for the advice
