I was in line the other day and the restaurant was packed, dozens of cars in the drivethrough, literally. Employees going left and right with food but they were somehow so cheery about it and polite. It got me thinking, how the hell do they stay happy? They apparently don't make too high above minimum wage, it's no easier than working at any other fast food place, and you're constantly busy if you're in a bigger area. I'd be fucking miserable but every single time I've been to one the employees are at the very worst just fairly polite and typically cheerful while they work.

I heard a joke once that they're all given drugs and I dunno how far that might be from the truth. It's almost off-putting and unnatural.

This is accurate. I've never seen older adults working at CFAs aside from managers who get paid like $17 something an hour. Most of the rank and file are high school/college kids who aren't cynical and angry yet. Also they shill out lots of scholarships and shit so some people have no choice but to work for them.

Hey fucknut, maybe they’re happy because they START at $15/hr... to fucking fry chicken, type orders in an iPad, and hand bags of said chicken to customers. It’s an immensely easy job that pays very well comparatively. And since they pay more, they also hire better employees than every other QSR, as opposed to literally any warm body that walks in they’ll actually judge whether or not you’re a complete fuck, and if you are, you won’t get a job at CFA. Work 50hr/week at CFA and you’ll make just shy of $40,000 in a year in my state. Meanwhile I do back breaking manual labor for $18/hr, so I’m kinda cucked by CFA employees desu.

Shitty fast food places make only hire as many people as they need and make them do all the shifts, burning them out.

The samrt ones have a skeleton of full time staff; Managers and line managers, etc, and everyone else will do shift work. So like 4 on 3 off. A good percentage of those people will also be High School seniors and college age people on part time contracts.

I worked at Chick-fil-A for 4 years.

Basically they just treat you with respect. The managers actually acted proud about the product we were putting out. Which in turn helps the employees feel better about it too. It also helps that majority of their employees are high school and college age. Which = energy and motivation. Add in the fact that many of them were religious is a bonus to that.

Why do people keep talking about christianity? And why do people think it's a great place to work? It's fast food, it isn't sunshine rainbows they just get people who haven't been broken yet then replace them. Same with that resteraunt place that does the singing and clapping. Whoever has it post the suit pepe thats sat in a restaurant with a guy with wojak face behind him clapping his hands with the awkward forced smile. Difference between is that they haven't got to the point where they're just going through the motions, they still have energy and I wouldn't be surprised if it stated in their contract they have to have permanent smiles and look happy like the disney world costume workers who cant break character otherwise it does damage to the costumes

Its not a coincidence. The founder, Truett Cathy was a known Christian and business owner. Hence "Closed on Sunday". This appeals to Christians. Which is why it's a popular place for young Christians to work during high school and college.

This just sounds like they're capitalizing on peoples religious beliefs, like changing something to appeal to lgbt to make it seem woke and garner more custom and money from that crowd. That's why big companies do shit like black lives matter flags and stuff, to keep image up and profits high. Chick-fil-a just seems to be catered to christians as a false sense of security because "it's christian so it must be okay for you!" Or something like that. It's still unhealthy fast food and they know it, and just sounds like manipulation. Never tried the food so I cant comment on that, but I'm sure it would taste alright

Put the founder actually was christian, and the reason he closed on sunday was so he and his co-workers could spend time with their families and go to church. They have just kept that going. This isn't something new. They don't do religious marketing. So you can't say it's "Christian themed" or anything like that.

It's just a fast food chain that has Christian roots, and because they are closed every sunday, has a high amount of Christian employees. Which in turn create a better work environment, which creates happier employees and more productive work ethic.

If I said christian themed I probably didn't mean it, because I've never heard of and cant see a fast food place promoting christianity for food, that's just sounds stupid.

It still just sounds like even though the guy who founded it was a prettygood dude and got an old taurus, but maybe now it's unintentional manipulation because their image is good and people think a christian thing is more standards than big joels gyro stand.
