Whatās the best Smartadd answer you gave to an asshole customer?
I WAS A CHILD SLAVE AT CHICK-FIL-A, AND YOU WONāT BELIEVE WHAT IāVE SEEN
It all started when I was still in the womb. Yep, the womb. My mom was a loyal Chick-fil-A customer, and apparently, they had some kind of "early recruitment program" that no one talks about. The second I was conceived, I was contractually obligated to serve nuggets. As soon as I was born, BOOM, they slapped a tiny apron on me and shoved me into the kitchen. I didnāt even get a baby bottleāI had to drink leftover pickle juice straight from the jar.
My boss was a toddler named Gregory. Gregory was three years old but somehow had the demeanor of a 40-year-old ex-convict. This kid didnāt just run the kitchen; he ruled it with an iron fist and a juice box full of meth. He had a temper, tooāone time, he caught me taking a breather by the fryer, and he threatened to āgrill my soul like a spicy deluxe sandwich.ā
Every day was TORTURE. Iād be flipping chicken patties while Gregory screamed things like, āFASTER, MAGGOT! THE DRIVE-THRU WAITS FOR NO ONE!ā Meanwhile, we were only allowed to eat the crumbs that fell onto the floor. The smell of fresh waffle fries would haunt me at night, taunting me like a cruel joke.
But hereās the kicker: all that talk about Chick-fil-A being "homophobic"? Itās a DISTRACTION. A cover-up for the real crimeāthe underground child labor camps! While the media was busy debating politics, we were out here sweating over fryers, assembling sandwiches at breakneck speed, and dodging Gregoryās wrath.
And it wasnāt just about the chicken. Oh no, they had dark secrets. I once found a secret door behind the freezer. Inside? A room filled with thousands of live chickens, all wearing tiny suits and sunglasses, having what looked like a business meeting. I tried to tell someone, but Gregory caught me and said, āThatās above your pay grade, shrimp.ā Pay grade? I WASNāT EVEN PAID!
Iāve been living in the fridge for the past three years to avoid detection. Itās cold, but at least Gregory hasnāt found me yetāWAIT, OH NO. I hear tiny footsteps. ITāS GREGORY. HEāS GOT A WHISK. AND A JUICE BOX. I HAVE TO GO.
Please, spread the word. Stay safe. And if you ever find yourself craving Chick-fil-A, just remember: someoneās toddler boss might be running the kitchen.
What is 1 thing you can think of, that some single individual can do, that can ruin a restaurants image of you, but also not make you blacklisted from other restaurants, or get media coverage, it only ruins the restaurant itself.
So I used to be a cashier at tacoBell(and other food places) for a few years. Through this time I've met different types of people and let me tell you , the negative customers outweigh the positives by a lot. I'm an over all positive and happy person, I appreciate the customers who Can reflect that or just simply not be a dick.
So point is, I go out of my way to do nice things for nice customers, like give free drinks or pay for your declined card or whatever. But that's not what the company really encourages or even cares about.
story1- one time there was a NATIONAL shortage of the 10in tortillas used to make burritos, quesadillas and crunchwraps. The first day I came in to work, my boss told me Every time a customer came I had to tell them we ran out of 10in so I can't give them burritos, quesadillas or crunchwraps. I was given a stack of coupon cards for "one free combo" to give out. I assumed it was to anyone that couldn't get what they wanted, but I was soon interrupted by a manager telling me the cards were for "only the customers that are really pissed." Basically anyone acting up.
Obviously that upset a lot of people but not everyone was throwing hissy fits. So for every dick bag that came by acting like this was somehow our stores fault or mine, I had to give them that coupon. No one else. Not the people who were nice and understanding, the pieces of garbage throwing fits.
story2- a man on a motorcycle came through the drive through once and immediately picked a a fight with me. this is how the convo started
me- hi sir can i take your order
ahole- you sound like a fggot
therefore we went back and forth throwing insults, he asked me to come outside to fight and as I was walking out, my manager gave him free food to leave. I was more than happy to beat this mans but he gets away with it.
story3 - a couple comes through in their car. i can hear them arguing over the speaker. they asked for sauce packets for their food. and i thought to myself " let me make their day a little better by at least giving them a lot of sauce for their big order).
i give the man the food and close the window. he knocks on it after 5 seconds so i open the window. he then hurls all the sauce at me screaming "i didnt ask for all this sauce you little prick". like alright dude, never seen anyone upset about too much sauce. manager apologizes and refunds their food so its free.
And things like this happen a lot. If you're a dick, you are likely to get away with free food or better service. however being a nice person will never be rewarded by the company, maybe an employee though.
Pretty self explanatory. This isn't the first time I have seen this in the food service industry. But anyone who is near food, needs to make sure their nails look clean.
I get it, sometimes we can't wash our hands as much as some would like. But if I can visibly see the dirt under a workers nails from a couple feet away, it shocks me that this does not bother anyone.
Honestly I'd be ashamed.
No I didn't complain to the manager. I didn't feel like being that person in the drive thru. But I honestly don't understand how proper hand washing is not enforced.
At my workplace we are supposed to seal up any mobile orders in drive thru and lobby orders. One day we were doing a race against another store.
My manager whenever doing a race or corporate inspection is around the corner they freak out.
They started putting the items in the bag for a mobile order and I was in drive thru window. I was helping a customer and just coming back from the lobby register. I was about to grab the stickers for the bag and the manager just grabs the bag and hands it out the window.
My coworker says to them "that's supposed to be sealed" then my manager looks at me while handing out the bag and says "you should be sealing the bag, you know you're supposed to seal up mobile orders right? You could've been doing that."
They basically are lecturing me for the mistakes they're making. I also for some reason had to be asking them all the time if we are rush ready or if anything needs to be cooked.
Later on openers did not finish the prepping job and I had to finish prepping. I was told "you can do drive thru and do that" and instead of making the other workers that were not in drive thru or could do it easier and faster with out being interrupted every 1 minute for a car order they choose me. It took a GM to come in and say something.
And if you ask why it would be easier for someone else to do it. Is because every order I get I have to take off the gloves. Then after the order I have to wash my hands and then put on new gloves and start frying again.
I also had to stock up drive thru because the previous person that left didn't stock up at all.
This is the 6th time I've been through this treatment. This is the second time being in fast food jobs and I hate it. If there were other job options I would take it in a heartbeat.
It is not worth the pay when I'm doing every single job for minimum wage that barely pays rent and bills.
I get people get nervous about corporate coming around, but it is not an excuse to be rude to your employees that are trying to help you.
I ate long john silvers when i was 12, i ate it and then waited on my famliy to finish, i then went to. The bathroom, the horrors that unfolded.
I shitted so quickly my ass was spazing left and right. The poop swarmed out my butt the brown gate opened. Poop smearing everywhere. After the janitor went there. The janitor never came back.
iām 17f and currently work with my best friend at mcdonalds. before actually joining the crew i KNEW fast food was no longer the environment i wanted to be in, but i stayed bc i needed the shitty income they provide ($13). as iāve continued to work here Ive try to remind myself its easy money and that i need to be grateful to jus have a job, but its getting to a point. i have experienced multiple unsavory experiences and can name on ONE hand when they day was just a day without the extra turmoil received. anyways the job is making me question myself, my sanity, and my beliefs. im genuinely ready to go but everyone says i should have another job lined up, its making me build resentment towards myself and the people i love despite the fact that weāre all just trying to look out for me. but in my experience of working i have neverrrr felt so drawn to leave. especially since im on a spiritual journey right now, but i have 1 bill to manage and 2 cats to provide for, i know itād be better to
Worker at fastfood want my man not going to happen
