So, I've been working at Chick Fil A for exactly a week now, as Sarah knows since she came to visit me! - YAY to Sarah. Everyone should just come to Chick Fil A because the food is really good and I'm really nice to customers, suprinsigly. It has been awesomely weird working there. I have so much more respect for fast food places and I will never be difficult to them again - haha. I average about 42 hours a week but the wage is low so haha I'm still broke. First pay check comes next Friday.
Stories:
Does anyone/everyone know who Bobby Valentino is? Okay, if you do, I feel bad because he's a famous R and B singer and I had NO idea who he is. SO one day at like 9 55 this Escalade pulls up and I'm on drive thru headset / window. So I'm tired of these last minute people (we close at 10). The man is like, "so what can i get free?" and I'm like umm something from mcDonalds and he's like "i'm bobby valentino" and i'm like "that's nice. i'm samiyyah ali. you want a cookie for it?" and so he argues for like 15 minutes holding up the line. i go get the manager, ashley - who is apparently really hott. she's like " OMG BOBBY VALENTINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" then he was like i was going to ask you (me) out but i don't like you. so him and ashley are dating now.
This man comes in the day of the really bad rain in that area, last saturday i think. And he orders a chargrilled chicken salad. So the default for that is a garden salad. Well he gets home just after our power is restored and he's like i WANTED A CHARGRILLED CEASER SALAD which is something that's not on the menu but specially ordered. and he's like i don't want these tomatoes and brocolli. and so it's like 10 o clock and we're about to close or whatever but we have plenty of customers. the manager ashley is like well sir if you come up tomorrow or another day we can give you a free meal if you tell me your name or you can come now and we'll replace it for you with no issue. he's like "do you want me to come out their and RISK my LIFE in the hard thunderstorms with deadly power lines down and hazardous materials in the road. i don't want to die. i need y'all to bring me my salad." so my manager is like "yeah and i'm going to send my only other employee on duty (me), a 16 yr old who just started yesterday to you for her to die. if you're at home just get somehting out of your refrigerator." so mr. annoying came to the window and cursed me out and i was like, "umm sry" and he was like ur worthless and i was like, "it's my pleasure."
this man came in at 9 30 and i was like welcome to chick fil a blah blah blah and after a while (i was smiling of course). he was like, "do they pay you to be this perky this late at night, and i was like NO and he was like WELL DONT' DO IT - i was like well then.
so a man comes in a 11 35 trying to order a breakfast combo and he just wouldn't take no for an answer so i had to go and personally make him a biscuit and he was like my chicken is lumpsided. we sent him to mc donalds.
wow. stories from fast food restaurants.
