my first job was at this shitty mall food court in the 90s. the shitty place i worked at was next door to a Chik-Fil-A, which put up monster numbers in terms of meals sold. my sister worked there because she was dating this guy whose like entire family worked there. they were all psycho evangelical christian nutjobs. like i went to a jesus joint on sundays and a guy played acoustic guitar and that sort of deal. looking back it was fucked up, but in a subtle way. this family was on another level.
these people weren't allowed to listen to non-christian music, they were broke AF because there was way too many kids and no birth control, nobody was allowed to date anyone without approval of the patriarch. really, nobody could do jack shit unless the dad was appeased. he often conflated his position as "father of the household" with being treated as the "Father in heaven" in allegories. totally the kind of situation where the government should step in and take over.
anyway, every one of their kids works at this chik-fil-a in high school and beyond. like the eldest son went to CFA's Tendie University or whatever for "leadership" training while also starting his own break-away church sect in a strip mall, because their own psycho church was getting "too liberal". not even joking.
anyway, i've never felt comfortable about chik fil a. like you walk into a burger king, and the manager on duty looks tired and is just over it all. they may give you a smile, but it's a tired one that just says, "please don't shoot up the joint if i fuck up your order." very relatable. but chik fil a has always seemed--to me anyway--to be exclusively managed by white nationalist pod people with smiley glad hands. people always talk about the lemonade or whatever like it's too hard to give up, but i do not get it. it's fried chicken and sugar water. there are so many of that type of place in the US.
I've literally never gone to one. Now I never will. That is so gross. I used to work retail. Did so for like 12 years. At least I never had to say shit like "thankyou m'lord"
My sister used to work at an icecream parlor that required the employees to sing some stupid song everytime a customer put money in the tip jar. I always requested they not do that.
I worked at one in a mall in like the late 00s. I got fired for not looking as happy as everyone else. I'm not joking, I wasn't smiling enough. Never had a complaint. I was so happy to never have to go there again.
They even had the audacity to send a letter saying I could never work for the company again due to being terminated. Lmao thanks!
"Try to look happy" but I'm not you fuckers. I'm having to comb every aisle because evangelical god botherers keep stashing leaflets behind the products. Shit sucked.
If people were nice to me I would genuinely be nice back. I want more of that in the world so I try to encourage it. But 9 hours on the clock 5 minutes after some boomer chode yelled at me? I'm going to a bit surly.
well they can't even attract any normal types of ghouls to buy franchises because only evangelical freaks will consent to closing on the weekend, and those insane franchisees promote insane management
Yeah, I'm pretty sure both companies have the same franchise requirements: white Christian men only. Highly preferred married only, may get away with being engaged. They have to meet or get a letter from your pastor. And thats on top of however many 100s if thousands of dollars you need to have. Its pretty sick. Christain fascists make good chicken though. Kind of like Gus Fring
I know it’s lib or whatever to boycott business but Chick Fil A is one I’ll never buy from. A coworker used to work there and weirdos would tell her “I’m glad what you guys do” and she said “I’m just taking orders.

If you don’t say thank you the workers aren’t forced to say my pleasure

I say "my pleasure" and had no idea it was weird. :chomsky-yes-honey:
It’s not unless you’ll get written up for not saying it and the person you’re saying it to knows that,

Never been in one, but this is exactly how every in-n-out is too.
