@@SamTitchenal this is great vid lol
thanks!
@@SamTitchenal here’s a dislike
I applied and got hired for back of house because I didn’t want to talk and deal with people on the drive through headset or outside but after getting cross trained and working more front of house I realized it is much better and the stress is really less because you don’t have to worry to assemble or make food quickly in the back or clean a bunch of equipment and everything you use in the kitchen. Once you get used to taking people’s order and being generally polite it is not really that bad and I’d prefer it to mopping the grease covered floors in e kitchen
Like besides the machines 🙄 what else did you have to clean...????
@@jonhawkins2374counters, floors and dishes
@@jonhawkins2374you have to clean absolutely every single inch of that place and every single thing it takes abt 2 hours after closing to finishe cleaning everything
I noticed a lot of boh people quit faster than the foh people. I work in the foh and I’ve been working there for four months and I love it
good for you!
i’ve been there for at least a month now (and work in foh) and it’s not for me, but i also don’t want to quit because i feel bad like what do i tell them🥴
ya it was awkward for me to tell them i was quitting after 1 month but they were super nice and everything turned out really well!
@@SamTitchenal that’s really great to hear, i know it’ll go smoothly when i let them know as well!! i hope you’re enjoying your new job!!
thanks so much, i really appreciate it, good luck!
I quit FOH because they wouldn’t respect my school and sports schedule. Plus my location wasn’t very positive, the manager actually screamed Thank God at the top of his lungs when i turned in my two week notice. Don’t know why, i was a hard worker and was the fastest order taker but they didn’t like i had a life outside of work
that’s terrible! sorry to hear that.
Why wouldn’t they respect your school/sports schedule? What did they say or do?
@@upbeatproductions7614 Most of the teenaged workers were homeschoolers so they didn’t have experience with those who actually went to school

Been working there for three weeks and I love it. Being 16 making $10 an hour is amazing and because I live in florida there aren’t many taxes so I get around $30-$40 taken out every pay check (every two weeks) and I have to say it is an amazing place to worn that teaches you responsibility, determination, and hard work.
love to hear it!
Did they already take your 10 dollars down to lower... because they pay you ten when you start so that you can pay for your uniform, they normally do this for the first 2-3 months and then you are back to what they told you you’d start with. Like for example 8.75-9.75
@@luisdiaz7205 no because I work in the kitchen so I get paid more than front of house

You know it's something when you get employment some people stay and some people know that though it's a great job you know deep inside there's something better for you and this young man is a perfect example of it.
wow, thanks so much!
This was so well made! I am glad you got a new job and hope it is working out for you
thank you so much!!
Lmao that ending was the best thing ever
More people need to watch this 😭
haha thanks
Bro I came for the job review and stayed for your incredible production value, it’s insane you don’t have more subs keep it up
haha thanks that means a lot!

I worked at Chic-fil-a just under 4 months! I enjoyed it as well. I have also made a few videos on it. This video is great man.
love to hear it
I also quit after one month of working at the Chick-fil-A by my house because the pay wasn’t that great the environment was friendly but I needed to focus on school and my future career. When I quit the manager that was working at the time asked who I was and then I asked why I wasn’t in uniform and when I told her I quit I asked if she wanted me to bring the uniforms that I had in my truck and her response was “no I just need you to not walk in here like you own the place.” I’m glad I left after having that encounter.
whoa that’s kinda tuff
My manager didn’t even respond to me after i asked should i bring back all my uniforms. I worked their 2 years and according to all managers and the store owner I was “one of the best workers” there. Well, apparently when you leave you’re turning your back on them and never wanna see you again. My store owner was the bomb tho because he loved everything i did there (even tho the managers treated me and many others like crap). But he only gets to hear whatever manager’s , and once i said i had to leave because of a rough injury that was going to take months to heal, they acted like i had spit in their face and never answered any questions i had about if they needed me to do anything before quitting. I hated our chick fil a so bad.
I wish I could quit Chick Fil A. I work BOH prep and am constantly treated like garbage. It’s really hard on my body physically (I have fibromyalgia so I have trouble performing certain physical tasks). I hate it so much but I need the money
Find another job at the moment
I started full time as foh worker and they started me at $14 an hour. It’s a really nice environment and my location doesn’t have a dine in so it’s nice. The only thing I don’t like about it is the amount of food they waste. It’s absolutely insane
The whole time I was on the edge of my seat, and you didn't disappoint. Some shocking revelations in this vid.
lol
My Chick-fil-A doesn’t treat us as good we have to work 30 or more to get a discount or having to work their for 6 months to get a discount they barely pay us and they work us to death in the heat
that’s tuff. mine wasn’t so harsh so i’m sorry to hear that
i work in foh but my location foh and boh are both really involved with each other, personally at my location foh wash dishes too which a lot of other locations don’t do. i love working there and foh and boh have great communication together haha
oh ya foh washed dishes too where i worked!
I quit less than a month actually I think it was barely a month… they had been doing mobile expo during the lunch hours (12-2) alone on a summer weekend and do expo for two more hours after mobile.. as you expected I worked four hours as a whole so I was pretty tired so I asked for my break and I got denied… I understand why but an hour later I ask again and then get denied so this is five hours in total and I was kind of confused because there wasn’t much cars… I shrug it off and ask an hour later and same answer then I lose my shit… I didn’t curse out any employee but I did tell my co-worker in front of my shift Manager that I’m gonna put my two weeks and they always do this bullshit where they never have a stall a time for workers… coworker told me to demand my break because I worked very long and I still have a long time ahead and I told them it would be useless because I already asked three times… I guess the manager overheard me and put me on break then I got my food and left and I haven’t looked back since, it’s been three days
I don’t mind being out there but I felt like making me do it alone was the most bullshit thing ever and then denying my break after I did that. If they would’ve gave me my break I would be still working there
I’m stress tolerant so you guys need to handle stress more and you will see the benefits in life
@@jordhivallejo482 mf I was getting paid like 9.50 for all that shit, no way I’m doing that for 9.50 while others are making 30% and I know what cuz my brother worked there the same amount time and got a higher pay. I do landscaping now which is harder but I don’t mind cuz I’m getting paid 20 an hour
I watched this video before I got hired and now I’m watching it again after I put in my two weeks notice😂. I worked there for 6 months, nice people, but worked to the bone and don’t get paid enough for the effort put in.
that’s crazy! thanks for watching! and hahah good luck with whatever you do next?
"Don't get paid enough for the effort. "
Considering your age, depth and breadth of knowledge and work experience...
...how much do you think you're worth?
Bro they legit give free meals and hook you up with better wage then most fast food
@@anthonyromo8684 they want that CEO wage on their first job
@@asdfdg11 the amount of work people do in fast food is not worth minimum wage lol.
So not only is it clickbait it's a pointless video
no cap😂
If only every co-worker were as good as they are at Chick-fil-A
This was good! 🙌🏻
thanks!
It's lucky you didn't got a job at McDonald's, you'll be more stress, and quit in 1 week.
Believe me, I seen some employees get really stress over their, and I saw one employee quit even know I was a customer their.
sheesh that sounds awful
@@SamTitchenal yeah I know man
Dang, you lasted longer than I did! I lasted 3 weeks haha
lol that’s so funny!
I honestly think each Chick-fil-A is either great to work at or horrible to work at because the one I work at is awesome and I get paid $13 an hour and I started like 3 weeks ago but I hear a lot of people say that they hate working at there Chick-fil-A
ya it definitely depends on your opinion!
I’m tryna work there how did the interview process work? I’m about to quit my job for CFA
@@Terrence4039 it’s in Virginia
@@Terrence4039 do you work full time or part time cuz I know where I live if you work part time it’s 10 an hour and 13 fir full time
Lucky…I get paid $9.87 an hour.
Just about to quit after working there for a month as well. Unfortunately I didn't have a good experience. one of the "team leaders" was basically bullying me :) for no reason :))))
ah that sucks! what chick-fil-a was it??
i’ve been a team leader for a year and i’ve trained all our acs but for some reason i’m not… yk what… nvm🥲
that’s tuff 😭 way of the road sometimes
thought this was gonna start with 3 doors down and i was gonna just walk away lmfao
Icant lie i was expecting some sketchy shit that was gonna make me reconsider my first day 😂😂
whoops ya i had a good experience at my location 😂
I take doordash orders for THIS EXACT location all the time!
I used to work at the Domino's right up the street, and my ex-husband used to manage that Red Robin.
whoa nice!
I work at this exact location right now, so that’s crazy.
I love working( my) at Chick-fil-A. It’s a major step up from Regal and I have amazing mangers and I get free food on my break
ya, it’s great!
I wanted to work at Regal, but they never called me back 🥲
Jesus bro I was dying at the end 😂
love it😂
I joined Chick-Fil-A for more money vs my previous job. But what I didn’t realize was they give significantly less hours to new-hirers. People who have worked there longer take priority and I GET IT, I really do, but I applied there for more money. More money = more hours. I can’t pay rent off of 20 hour work weeks. Sadly, I think I’ll be applying somewhere else very soon.
that’s too bad, i hope your next job works out better!
So foh people get bad hours like you and boh be doing over time atleast where I’m at. I’m a new hire been here like a month or so and I’ve done like 3 hours in overtime almost every week and that’s still not enough cuz I came from working at plants where I’d be doing 10-12 hour shifts 6 days straight so it sucks lol.
I’m about to quit too cuz the hours are like 35 but not worth cuz I just waste other days that I could use to do other stuff like one day I’ll work ten and then the other days I’ll do 4-8 hour shifts. Like I’d rather do 10 hour shifts instead yk
im a new hire and 18 yo, so part time. From my experience they’ll give you hours if they think you’ll be usefull for the team. My desired hours is around 20-21 hours because of school and they give me 25, only because I can work on all positions. Not bragging that I can work all positions, it’s just i feel like working more positions, taking actions like being a leader even when im not the leader picking up the machines and the guy incharge is away from the machines makes a difference to get more hours
I gotta say, I really enjoyed the editing of this video
wow thank you!
I just got a job at chick fil a I start next week. I was assigned front of house whats it like?
I worked at a Chick Fil a when I was 16 years old(my first job ever). The location I worked at just didn’t have a good environment. It was total chaos when it would get busy and the pay just wasn’t worth it so that’s why I quit.
Thumbnail "not my pleasure" 😆
I remember when i worked there it was like my 3rd week and i still couldn't get used to saying "my pleasure".
One time a customer thanked me for service and I replied "you're welcome"
And then she asked
"aren't you supposed to say my pleasure?" And I replied with a smile "sometimes".
Very well put together video dude! Personally I love my job but the only the only thing that sucks about it is that my store got in the top 1% in sales last year so we like super busy and that can stress us out in the BOH but either way it’s a lot of fun!
super glad you enjoy the job!
Bro my name is Javier and I also work boh 😂
“Sponsored by chick fil a”
if only 🤣
Yo, that was a dope video
thanks fam
Yea. I've been there for two weeks now and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to stay there for very long... I've worked several other much tougher jobs so that's not the issue, but the lack of structure and organization is about to drive me straight up the wall. The thing that pushes me over the edge the most is having an owner / operator and executive directors who just don't get it... very clearly have never worked a full week of 8hr days in their life, let alone a month or maybe 3 months on a consistent basis. Silly operator's wife came in the other day (on a Saturday no less) and told us to slow down and stop making mac / cheese until they got the window cleared. Aw hell no. We're not slowing down just because you can't keep up. I almost walked that day. Luckily, this is a part time job for me and I'm only using it to move to another state with and have a job when I get there and then I plan to get a better job but damnit, I don't know if I can put up with it much longer.
i’m sorry to hear that. some locations are fine but it sounds like a lot aren’t the best😬
I’m BOH at the moment and I honestly can’t stand it, closing and scrubbing those raw pans at 9:30 at night after I just sweated to keep up making sandwiches all day, on the job hunt as well haha
ya it’s not for everyone🤷♂️
I’ve been working back of house for six months now and the best thing I can tell you is to drink a lot of energy drinks and never put things off to do later
great advice
How to die 101
I'm on my second week and I've spoken to someone about leaving most of the people I work with are nice but the store is short staffed so I'm barely being trained and when they assign me a job I end up not doin the job because they always have me doing something else and there's no communication on top of that my body is so tired and ankles and feet are so sore from running out mobile orders and I'm stressed I can't go back in one more day because if I do I honestly feel like I'm goin to end up at the doctor or worse the hospital our scheduling manager hasn't givin me a schedule since I started last week so I've been guessing when to come in smh
whoa that is not a good situation when they’re short staffed. definitely wouldn’t blame you for leaving?
How you doing buddy?
@@bellar9460 I left I still didn't get my schedule, they weren't allowing me to do my job , the last week I was there two employees got into an altercation, and most of us was barely trained and put some where we had to figure out alot of people quit after I left the food is good but the job environment the customers don't see is toxic and horrible I'll just stay a customer
I work in the back of house. I have been there for 2 years. And a team leader for 18 months. I love my job but we are short staffed. We lose a lot of people in the front Bc we’re struggling to keep our pay uo
ahhh that’s tough. keep it up tho!
This man told us that I got a another job 💀
had to do it to ‘em😂
give chic fil a a sob story and theyll give you a free meal :p
that’s a vibe
Bruh hahahahaha
This was good
But also I’m butthurt I thought you were gunna say something crazy
fair enough
@@SamTitchenal bro its only job i can find that hires as young as 14 with decent pay. Iv never had a pc and am in desperate need so sry bro gotta
Edit: forgot to mention, i can also walk there from my house
that’s fair. walking saves a lot of money for transportation so that’s pog
i just started yesterday & we do not get free meals ! , no earrings , no nails , im not use to saying my pleasure after every sentence! , idk how im feeling about it honestly
that’s tuff. hope the experience turns around!
No free meal is illegal
Idk I personally love yellow, just because you are always moving. Secondary can get so slow lol. Our franchise is $18.5 starting out for boh
I think the pillow he was laying on gives us a hint as to where he got a new job at: Long John Silver's.
Bruh at the cfa I work at, we get a free meal or dessert every shift!!
love that!
BOH in any business is always busy unless your restaurant is going under.
that’s a good point
Agreed but Chick fil A is something on a totally new level...
worked at chick-fil-a?? bro IS chick-fila, bro looks like chicken little lmaooo
dude fr, i actually do
Y’all be wearing the new member solid red polos for BOH, at our cfa we wear designated red chef coats and if your a trainer or coach u wear black polo or blue polo or blue chef coat
One thing I only hate about chick fil a is making the fries. It gets sooo hot in the boh and constantly making fries and being hot sucks. I like foh way better. Never complain about foh because boh people have it worst. They over work you in the boh where I’m at and they constantly quit back there.
I’ve been working boh at chic fil a for three months now, I’m already feeling burned out. The pay is okay for a fast food place although it’s slightly harder than any other fast food place I’ve worked at, the managers act like it’s an ordinary restaurant and not fast food. I don’t know how much longer I’ll last doing 9 and 12 hour shifts five times a week but I’ll keep going until I can’t. Go to college kids lol.
i got hired a month ago for BOH and obviously everyone has different exprenices I'm basically be harrassed by my manager breaking labor laws and I'm so over it and I haven't received my first check too I already plan on applying for other jobs but my cfa is honestly horrible
Most people are simply not cut out for fast food or restaurants in general. You have a to be incredibly smart and good at multi tasking to make it in any of these places.
Trent, your comment is so valued
@@Kaelacraftygirl My pleasure.. Lol
And don’t forget thick skinned
Lmao I work BOH and I work secondary point I’m thinkin ab quittin too
Lol it’s my second week of working bof and lowkey fw it tough, the days go by fast and I have a speaker to listen to music
might be a vibe
Me too bro, it's just too crazy. I've never had a job where no matter how fast you go it's bit fast enough. I can't stand tge Frye station. Kills my back, and a lot of times they won't let me have a fries 2 person to drop the fries and it just gets ridiculous. 😒 And they refuse to acknowledge my disabilities. For the stress they put me through $15 just isn't worth it...I'm thinking of going to AT&T or something....
Lmao, so many people expecting a hit piece on CFA judging by the dislikes. Well made video, keep it up, brother 👍🏻
appreciate it!
Just curious but what was that new job? Are you still at that job now? I'm just cuious.
my new job was working as a real estate videographer and i’m still doing it!
I requested a day off for a dental appointment (on a Wednesday, of all days) 1 month in advance and it wasn't given. I asked the scheduling manager about it, and they gave some stuttering nonsense reply. Yep, I quit about one week later. CFA is too busy and has too much extra nonsense going on to deal with not having that request granted. Even compared to other fast food jobs, my experience at CFA was pretty terrible. Only worked there for 4 months.
That’s awful
Some locations have some REALLY questionable management. I’m lucky my location has reasonable managers and scheduling supervisors and stuff.
My location has some shitty management one of my co workers literally had a panic attack
I got fired today for nothing I did. I'm so furious. I was FOH. I'll never get a job there again
I've been at CFA for about a year and a half. TEAM LEADER right here. I hate it, they won't promote me
lol hope that promotion comes soon🙏
What was the process of becoming a team leader? I’ve been here for about 4 months and I plan on being here through the rest of college, so I want to work my way up. I just don’t know when I’ll know it’s time to try.
i personally couldn’t give you advice because i was never a team leader at cfa, but i’d assume that’s something to talk to a team leader about🤷♂️
@@drpepperconnoisseur funny you ask because after 4 months i got the promotion. It's really simple i guess, just have an idea of how to lead people, whether in the kitchen or front counter. For me, in the kitchen it's just making sure breaks are run, chicken is properly prepared, and make sure that if the front needs help, we figure out the problem and assess it. Hope that helps. (this can work for the front to kitchen as well)
@@jackcount2562 I actually messaged my director yesterday asking what I can do to get to the point of being ready for team leader and he said I should just go for it! Thanks!
i worked there for maybe 2 weeks. horrible business and awful people all around. fired me for being underage even though they knew i was when i was hired
whoa that’s interesting, i’m sorry to hear that
Aren't jobs supposed to hired people from 16 and up???
🤷♂️
@@dekulevi936 most yeah. alot dont
@@dekulevi936 it depends on the state. We hire 15 and up.
I worked both for 2 1/2 years i quite because I was supposed to be promoted and kept getting promises that I’d move up and I did my job but I got screwed every time
Is it weird all the black people only work in the front of the house and the all the hispanics work in the back of my chick fil a?? Like it’s only blacks and hispanics and we have white bosses. Our chick fil a is really popular too
that’s sus. that’s not how my chick-fil-a was
I c....
My pleasure!!!
oh you get it Christopher
We didn’t get free meals, just half off-
ah that’s too bad
Ok two things, this video got a lot of views and the dislike ratio is kinda bad 😂😂😂
yesssir, didn’t think about much people wouldn’t like the clickbait
Chick - Fil - A!!!! At the end 😆 🤣 😂
I love working at CFA I’m a front of house worker, and it’s a great job I’m 14 and I get paid 16 an hour! It’s great and I recommend if for anyone
Well if it wasn’t your first choice obviously it’s not going to be the obvious best,but I’m glad you enjoyed it and followed the rules.
Omg I sound so old XD, I’m in 4th grade.
hahah thanks!
And you finished your last day. I can when I was a teen, I typically called in my final day.

I've always liked their chicken salad sandwich they use to have. It sux they don't have it anymore.

It's not bad unless you can't handle working
you got it!
@@SamTitchenal got hired yesterday ! :))
congrats!!
i personally can’t remember, pretty basic questions about yourself
I've been working at mine for around 4 years now, and haven't experienced much of what you're saying. Not saying you're lying, may just depend on the store
I work in BOH (going on about 4 months) and I generally like it a lot. My pay is pretty good but most of it goes to my bills. Its a lot of stress for just barely being able to get by. My sister worked in the FOH but recently got fired for "not being a good fit". I got a promotion the same day she was fired. I'm entering into the trainer probationary period. I'm not really a people person but I'm patient and helpful so hopefully I can be a good trainer bc I'd hate to ruin anyone else's, especially a new person's working experience. I only interact with FOH but so much but to me they come across as very fake. I can't help but hold a grudge against them bc it feels like they had a part in getting my sister fired through anything they might have said about her (bc those FOH mofos like to run their mouths). Please pray for me
I applied at my Chick-fil-A back in March and I got out of training in August. Other than that, working at Chick-fil-A has been pretty good. Specifically my location is an awesome environment and the pay is pretty reasonable. Honestly better than my last job which was working at six flags🙄😂. What is your new job btw?
love to hear it. glad it’s a good environment! my new job is being a real estate videographer!
well I mean it's like, Chick-fil-A is really not hard but you have to work so fast and keep up with everything Plus everyone is always nice so they expect that Everytime. I don't mind eating there often but working there would be tough.
Fast food jobs are terrible
dang i just applied for the back of the house too 😞
it could definitely turn out to be a good time!
same
good luck!
Same
They only give you free meals at some locations frfr
I worked for them for 15 yrs the owner operator I worked for never gave free food.
big sad 😞
I happen to run across this one three years later and thought this was a not so great video that's what I was thinking. The only answer you given for quitting your job was I got another job you said. It would've been nice to say what type of job. So big deal that you quit your job. Would've liked more detail about the new job that was been interesting
Dude you cant beat $16 a hour just making waffle fries. And not to mention you get a free lunch up to $10.50 lol im getting fat working there. I need to bring a lunch for now on but i cant resist them nuggies lol
the nuggets slap no lie. no disrespect to people still working there tho because it’s smart to work any job paying $16+ an hour till you can find the next job for you!
Dang and I though mine which pays up to $8.50 for a free meal was nice.
same story i worked for red robin for a month
nice nice
Omg ahahahaha the suspense was killing me because I start my job in two days and that was it.
oof 😂have fun
This man looks like Logic ngl
thanks i think😂
@@SamTitchenal no problem haha, you should take that as a compliment lol
ight bet lol
but why did you leave to get a new job, more pay?
got my dream job as a videographer instead!
I moved on to McDowell's.
respect
😂
In it for the scholarship
I am a college student who just got a call saying that I got the job. Yesterday during the interview, I asked the HR guy what’s his advice to someone who’s newly joining. He said that some of the girls on the team don’t get along and that they are catty. I can’t make this shit up. Y’all keep me in your prayers 😂😩
Do they allow nail polish
i have no idea
They do but it usually has to be a solid color. I worked at one in Tallahassee, Fl, but to each it's own store. I would say being a team member there can be tricky. Leadership can show lots of favoritism and team members poorly. That's what happened at my location. I was treated poorly and had false narratives come out about me. I didn't make any progress and was constantly put in situations of which leadership wanted to make sure I failed.
I Quit Chick-fil-A because of management I was a hard ass worker and was never promoted for anything and I refused to let managers run all over me I know my worth
you were in focus the whole time... ;P
you got lucky😂
Bruhhhhh
yuuuuup
