Chick-Fil-A Sucks
Above Chick-Fil-A, sucking away
I’m not sure why this restaurant exists.
Their crown jewel, the chick-fil-a sandwich is a dryer, blander, mcdonalds chicken sandwich with a tomato on it: for $3.79.
I know a lot of women like Chick-Fil-A because I guess chicken is healthy, but I think women just like to like stuff that costs too much money.
How many times have you heard some housewife go:
I Just gotta have my starbucks.
No, bitch you need to get into the kitchen where that $250 coffee maker is that you made your husband buy from Bed Bath and Beyond and put in a filter— what you don’t have any filters? Use a paper towel. Now dump s scoop of Yuban in and wait a few minutes.
There you just saved $4 on top of the $250 you would’ve lost if you continued to not use that expensive coffee pot.
Back To Chick-Fil-A:
And how about those waffle fries?
Here I have a tip for you guys, cook them until their golden brown like every other kind of fried potato anyone has ever cooked.
I’m not kidding you, their waffle fries come to you in a very light white-yellow color.
I was like uh these aren’t done yet.
“Thats how we make em” the woman said with a self-satisfied smirk.
Well could you cook mine a little longer? I said.
“i’m sorry, thats how we make them”.
Also they’re closed on Sundays for religious reasons which in my book is great since it’s one less day for someone to accidentally eat their incorrectly cooked bland food.
I will say that the people who work there are freakishly nice and I generally assume that comes from the corporate rule book or something because most fast food employees are pissed off or stoned and these ones (I was at the Rancho Cucamonga location en route to a weekend snowboarding) seemed normal and happy.
Overall it is my recommendation that you avoid chick-fil-a at all costs, sure the name is cute but thats about all.

You are out of your fucking mind dude. Chick-Fil-A is glorious.
junkyard’s last blog post..U2: No Line On The Horizon
Chick fil a. mmm. Love it.
I work there and yes it does suck. I hate lying to customers with my nice look all the time. I hate my job and i hate having to be nice to douche customers. I am fine helping people out because hell you’re paying for food but when you start assuming that i dont know what im doing after three years well then i get kind of pissed. I Enjoy helping people but when im in a bad mood and i have to look all freakishly happy then yes i hate my job and customers. Let alone the managers are dicks from hell. Religion my ass all the company is out for is money. My dad who is the prayer elder at our church thinks my Owner is a freak and a self-rightous prick.
Completely agree with Brock. (I work there too.) All customers seem to show up with a privileged attitude demanding stuff and we’re supposed to pretend to be overjoyed that they’ve entered the store. Most of the managers are insane, sit down all the time, and get annoyed if they are required to move to help a customer–no, not that! So, pretty much the employees are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Now, I’m a Christian, but I hate God’s name being used to make money. Chick-Fil-A sells themselves as a Christian restaurant. But, this is just a facade. One minute, other employees are saying “Guess what just f’ing happened. I brought my boyfriend over to my house last night, and…[more explicit details to follow].” Then, the next minute, these same employees wish customers a “blessed day.” Yeah, right. To sum it all up, Chick-Fil-A pimps out employees in God’s name.
Hey Chick Fil-A employees, sorry you guys gotta work there. Do you think the food is any good?
Ok so i too work at chick fil a. and i agree. my owner plays christian music in our restaurant. and act all nice to your face. and then they reprimand you and tell you that your not working hard enough when you work your freaking butt off. then they even try to use Bible verses to hurt me. What kinda “christian” is that! I LOVE THE LORD. with all my heart and they tell me that i need to make them Number one in my life i am sorry. this is not my career. and God is number one so back off.. i mean i could go on and on and on. but i have soo much to say i would never shut up.
Ok, so u randomly got to this website just now. I work at chick-fil-a also as a crew leader. I thought that place was the greatest as i was growing up, but now that i work there i hate it with a passion. The food taste and portion/size is not acceptable for the amount of money that the customers have to pay. Btw, for the record, it seem that every customer that i wait on has to be a spawn of satan. It’s too bad i’d lose my job if i spoke my mind to them. I have to work side by side with the managers, and i do the same jobs they do but get paid the same as a normal team members…I would just like to say that you guys are right about the management. I seem to be the only manager at my store who isn’t a jackass and hates my life so badly because i’m stuck working at a fast food restaurant at the age of 35, and decide to take it out on the rest of my co-workers. I would like to end my rant by saying that i appreciate the hard work that you guys do even though i don’t work with you, because i know how you feel.
I just started working at CFA a couple of months ago and had such high hopes during my training. I really thought this was going to be a GREAT job.
Is it some sort of corporate rule that once you become a manager you have to become a tool? All they do is sit around, and if you ask a question or request help serving the guests, you get in trouble! I regularly solo in the drive-thru and that makes it very tough to stock before dinner, but that is exactly what they expect me to do. Run the drive-thru from 2:30 to 4:00 and get all the stocking done.
I thought the owner was one of the nicest guys, but now all I ever see him doing is micro managing, coming out of the office just long enough to make us all feel like we’re doing a terrible job. The crew works their butts off not just because we’re afraid of losing our jobs, but because we genuinely want to impress the guests with great customer service, but I see the managers and team leaders berate our efforts on a daily basis. Nothing we do is good enough. They all seem to have a different way of doing most of the jobs, so we have to remember who wants something done one way and who wants the same thing done another way, or else we get yelled at for “doing it wrong”.
It just seems like the managers and team leaders are on a constant power trip, but they’ve already won that battle; they make more money and they control what happens in the restaurant. Why not just be helpful? Why not just let us do our jobs? They have a really great crew, and I don’t understand why it’s important to knock us down a few notches every single day.
And none of them willingly give us our breaks. We have to bargain just to be allowed to get a drink of water, when they keep their soda or tea at the managers desk right in front of us. One of my coworkers wasn’t even allowed to use the bathroom when she was having her period. She quit last Saturday.
I loved my job… I mean it, I absolutely LOVED my job when I first started. I couldn’t have been more excited about working in a fast food joint. Now I feel like I was completely delusional when I first started. I just keep my head down and try not to do anything that makes me stand out.
The food is good, and so is the service, but I feel like the company has really let me down. I’m already looking for another job. Even if I have to go work in a cubicle, it would be better than this.
I don’t blame you one bit for looking for a new job. Just try to put up with it until u have another job secured. I’ll be out of there soon because im going to nursing school next fall. So im just riding the bullshit until its over, and leaving on a good note so they dont screw me over later on in life. I’m sorry that you as well as everyone else that works for chick-fila has poor management. I just feel good knowing that i am one of the only managers that cares about the team members. You guys rock.
I am astounded to hear so many of these comments. I am a manager at Chick-fil-A. One thing you have to keep in mind is that each unit is independently owned and operated, so as much as Chick-fil-A tries not everything is consistent. Although some might consider my point of view skewed I am more than happy to work on the front lines or on boards anytime needed. We are more like a family there and we all enjoy the time. Sometimes the work sucks its sometimes long busy days but at the end we still enjoy working with each other.
I am so sorry so many of you have experienced prick for managers. My operator is one of the nicest guys I know and is very genuine and a great guy. We allow employees to grab a drink whenever they want/need it. Bathroom breaks, just ask and I never say no, just want to know you’re leaving. Don’t think all Chick-fil-A’s are like these stories you hear. This company has a great servant heart and donates millions to many causes and is an example of a way to do business. Out of 1.437 stores there are bound to be some bad apples.
So, I worked at CFA all through high school and worked my way up to be a team leader for the past two years… I used to love working at that place… But all that was BEFORE I became management staff and saw all the under the table shit that was going on. In fact, I agree with the person that said something about losing your job for speaking your mind. Let’s put it this way, I called my operator 3 days ago and told him I couldn’t do it anymore because he had his head in the clouds and kept making excuses for the other members of management that he has known forever and a day. So, I quit… Well, I go visit yesterday and say hi to the owner and basically I get a silent FU as he turns and walks away… All the GOOD people that worked there said “There is no telling what SHE lied to him about or how bad your name is tarnished now”. Man, i’m pretty pissed… I know for a fact that people were getting underpaid at the store I was at and I was sick of being the only one taking care of people and STILL getting told off because I was “attacking the head manager who had a lot going on”. Wow… And we were told EVERYDAY to leave our personal lives out of that place. From what I know, certain people in that store brought things on to themselves and if anyone should be sulking in a corner it should have been me with my husband, dad, AND brother in Iraq. One injured 2 weeks ago… ): But NO… I went to work and tried my best. I thought about writing to corporate about all of the illegal things I am aware of but after reading online I see that corporate doesn’t really care about it all…
Sorry, ranting… just happy to see i’m not the only person who thinks this place is full of shit… I’m just mad it took me over 5 years to figure it out…
Oh, and btw, I wasn’t one of those douchebag crew leaders who sat on my butt and didn’t give breaks. In fact, that is one of the many complaints I had that got me on the head honcho’s shit list. I think maybe I wasn’t like that because I spent 3 years as a regular team member and knew what it was like to get screwed over whereas almost every other member of management at my store spent 3 weeks as a team member before being promoted to managment…
Well, that’s just my two cents (: I feel better now lol
i’m sort of confused… at the store I just came from the team leaders were considered managment and we got paid pretty darn good… Is there a difference in the other stores?
Dude, I like their chicken better (spicy type too) and their fries better than mccdonalds. (I like BK better than McDonalds too.)
Sorry, I just don’t have similair taste and the success of the restaurant says more than a few people agree.
Couldn’t agree more. It’s a bland chicken sandwich. Couldn’t they have used some imagination and put something interesting on the sandwich. Imagine going into McDonalds and they give you a burger patty on a bun and that’s it. It’s retarded.
I have a great job! I’m 16, and I’ve worked there for over a year, they work amazingly with my schedule and I have never had any problems with my store. The managers do what they can to help us out, I seriously don’t fake it when I’m being nice to customers. They give us breaks, let us go to the bathroom, and we don’t have to say bless you after every customer. It’s a pretty freakin amzing job. I mean, don’t tarnish the whole chick-fil-a name, just because of a few stores. It’s like someone earlier said, they’re run by different people.
Every Chick-fil-A is independently owned and operated! I have had experience with two different stores…the first was like what a lot of people are saying, full of lazy managers who would rather do anything but help a customer. However, I recently moved to a new store and it is a totally different experience. Sorry if you think we’re “freakishly” nice, but if you weren’t a cynical prick you might consider that maybe you can be nice and happy just to make somebody else’s day a little easier.
And the sandwich comes with only pickles so you can add your own condiments if you would like, which consist of cheese (American or Provolone), lettuce, tomato, or bacon. You can pretty much create your own sandwich, because Chick-fil-A will do pretty much anything a customer asks. I’ve even seen people ask for a special wrap without cheese and we made it for them. (They are pre-made every morning.)
So my point is, try not to be so judgmental, because for every terrible Chick-fil-A there are many who live up to the standard and provide excellent service and excellent food.
I too work at Chick-fil-A as a crew member. However, I must admit i am sorry to hear that all other employees hate their job! I work at the chick-fil-a in the mall, and i have to say it rocks. the managers will work right there beside you. and as long as your work is done (customers are taken care of and everything is stocked) you pretty much do whatever ya want. granted when the owner comes in ya gotta attempt to be doing something (cleaning or stocking) but the truth of the matter is, he doesnt really care what you do as long as the customers come first and they have a great experience at Chick-fil-A. I generally “work” 6 hours a day, however according to the security cam, i typically work 4 or less hours a day ha ha
so please dont think that all Chick-fil-A’s suck just because you have power hungry jerks for boss’.
Okay readying these is kinda annoying me. Every cfa is indivisually owned….thus the word franchise. Ive been wworking there for almost 3 years and my operator is awesome he super nice and I pretty much make my schedule were pretty much like a family. yeah theres a lot of politics but thats with any job youll ever have in your whole entire life so yall really need to get over that and fast.
Our stores in CA and we dont play christin music or say have a blessed day all we say is my pleasure. And were not closed on sunday for religious reasons were closed on sundays so that i can go out with my boyfriend when im not at work or school or so i can go to church instead of feeding people theyre sunday brunch.
And before i get off im sorry for all of yall that are stuck with not so great management but to bad mouth an entire company for the mismanagement of a few is wrong so maybe yall should come to cali to see how its done
I also work at chic fil a and it freaking sucks!! The managers expect you to be SUPER nice allll the time and when it rains we have to go out and help people with their food to their cars! its BS and people look at me all weird like because i am so nice and i work at a fast food resturant! its dumb thank god im about to quit and have a real job.
I don’t really care if it’s a good place to work at. I only know that the food sucks balls!
They just opened a new resturant in my area. People actually slept in tents in the parking lot the night before the grand opening.
I actually think Chick-Fil-A has the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had, but my conscience gets the better of me – I can’t eat there anymore because I don’t want to support religious fundamentalism.
As for some of these comments:
“A great servant heart” is great religious nutbar propaganda, I’ll give them that.
“maybe yall should come to cali to see how its done”
…because Rancho Cucamonga is in Arkansas?
i worked at chickfila as well! go figure..it sucked..being atheist made it worse too..lol..but even tho i hated it..i now have another job and wish i could work at chickfila..not all chickfilas are the same..my owner was nice, and the TL’s helped me alot and would call me in alot becuz they knew i wanted hours..and mcdonalds needs to get over themselves..they simple took what chickfila did and repackaged it.
This comment was “My Pleasure!” -.-
I work at Chick-fil-a in Florida and My operator IS The Best!.
The hard work pays off , we’ve gone to theme parks in orlando many times.
I am sorry for all of you who hate it because it’s pretty much the operator’s fault, not Chickfila.
its a great company to wook for.
I work at a chick fil a and i love the owner and most of the managers there is only one i don’t really like that much but hes not that bad. But all the team leaders are way nice and so are the managers they work right up front with us and they are helpful. We can use the bathroom whenever we want and we can get a drink.
Like some others have said, each Chick-fil-a is independently owned and operated so each one is a little different
Hi. I was reading these comments about working at Chick-fil-a and i can say it must be really diffrent for you guys working at the stores you do or its just my store that is very nice. I work at Chick-Fil-A in Raleigh North Carolina in the Brier creek area. and i can say i have really enjoyed working there. I like to think of myself as a kind hearted person who enjoys helping people anyway i can. So to get paid to do something I already enjoy to do was just icing on the cake for me:) My managers are very nice and when i got in a car crash on my way to work last December of 2009 they made sure i was all right by calling me which showed me that they really cared about me. And when i was not feeling well one day they did not get mad at me for me having to leave early. I feel like i am part of a family at my Chick-Fil-A unit and i look foward to going to work each day i have to go in. Now i know a lot of people out there who work in fast food would probuly have a totally opossite view on their fast food job when it comes to wanting to go to work but i am happy to want to go. I could work an 8 hour shift and not complain one bit because i know i made me some money:) and also made a lot of people happy that day. Now this is just my opinon on working at Chick-Fil-A and i dont know if it is because i like to work and my personality that makes me love it but its a great place for any teenager looking for a first job to start off with because it will set values in you that will make you a better well rounded person in your future working career.
I guess you just have to find a Chick-Fil-A thats right for you.
Thank you to all who sat here and read this whole thing.lol
I am a marketing director for a Mall unit and love this company. I got to meet Truett Cathy and he is still at 88 committed to pleasing the customers. If you don’t like that you should have found another job. This company was founded on taking care of the customer and that is why people pay a little more and love us. If you like being treated as a number go to Wendy’s or McDonalds. I have a great crew and operator so sorry for you guys.
my chick fil a is awesome! just like the person above we can have drink and bathroombreaks whenever we want as long as we let someone know where we’re going. Just becase you people get mean costmers doesnt make that chick fil a’s fault. you hould just belucky you have a job because theres alot of people ot there that are dying for jobs right now.
It sounds to me that most of you guys are doing nothing but crying like a little bunch of babies. Every job has its problems. Quit crying like a bunch of silly little girls and get over it. No one forced you to take that job. If you don’t like it then either shut up and get over it or get another job.
I work at a CFA in Columbus, GA and I just have to say that when I first started working it wasn’t so bad but as I got to know most of the other people working with me it began to change. Most of the supervisors are total douche bags and the manger is a total fake. During the interview he seemed like the nicest dude around the entire mall and I liked the idea of having a nice boss for a change. Well after about 2 months I could tell he was a total bastard.
One day I’m working the register and some old lady walks up to me. Well i noticed she had a cane as well as what appeared to be severe arthritis. Well according to policy if we aren’t super busy we are supposed to help customers take their food to either their table or their car. Well I asked the lady if she would like some help and she just stares at me like i’m a retard or something then replies with: “What right do you have to ask me as if I’m a cripple or something!?” As if it’s a crime to be nice right? Well for one I believe that having to pretend to be nice to people like that is just stupid. Also right after the storms off all upset my boss walks up to me and starts going on about how i’m not doing my job correctly and how I’m supposed to help little old ladies who look like they need it(while he smirked and basically judged me on how I don’t care about people).
I for one am currently looking for a new job at this very moment and hopefully if I can find one will be quitting very soon because I’d rather work for a boss who is a douche and at least knows it, then one who pretends not to be even though he is.
