been at my cfa for 6 months and just saw on my paystub i got a $2 raise. i hadn’t asked for one yet, and my managers (and operator) did mention a raise to me but i hadn’t realized they meant right now. i thought the raise was for when i applied to become a trainer ( i was told by a friend the position comes with a $1 pay increase ). i work tonight and tomorrow night but i’m not sure how to go about the raise thing. i wasn’t going to bring it up i was just gonna keep on going the way i’ve been and making sure i’m on time, keeping a positive attitude, and diligent. still though, i feel kinda bad not acknowledging it so i wondered if there was a specific thing i could say to my operator when next i see him? i’d like to show i’m grateful but i’m kinda awkward and this is my first job so i’m not sure how to go about saying thank you. honestly i think it would come off as weird if i said thank you but i’d also feel weird if i didn’t you know? its not like i don’t think i don’t deserve the raise, i know i’m a good employee…it was just unexpected seeing as though it just happened i didn’t request for it or anything. i won’t disclose how much i make but it is well over double the minimum wage for my state so i’m definitely grateful.

Lady brought this back the next day to get a replacement. Starving yourself to get results is something we can all admire! Stay strong! 😂

Hey everyone quick question, how are you able to see future assignments that haven’t shown up on workday yet? I like to see what’s ahead just to see what I may want to try to get into location wise. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I started working at my local CFA a few months ago. Everyone liked me. I would always joke around and bring up the mood at my location. But when i was trained on IPOS i got an idea to start scanning my own code for other customers orders. But i changed my name in my account to ChickFilAAdmin so they couldn’t trace it back to me. it worked for 250k~ points. And then my account got banned. I made a new account but i was less careful and i guess they caught on. I was taken into the back and they told me to resign right then and there. I don’t know about other states this happened in New York, and i’m over 18 so i don’t know if they could’ve pressed charges or something but learn from my mistakes. I did get around a few dinners but looking back i hate chick fil a

There's been a lot of weird behavior towards me recently and I'm trying to figure out if I'm just overthinking things or am I about to get fired.

I've worked back of house for a little over 6 months now and if I'm being honest I'm not good at calling chicken. I do what I was taught, but I still hold on chicken a lot. I hold on chicken more than anyone in the kitchen and it's absolutely humiliating, but I can't seem to get better even though I call it like the managers tell me to. I hold so often on chicken that it's starting to become a joke in a very bad way. People in both the back and front laugh at me and make jokes when they see me on primary or secondary because they know I'll hold a few times that day. I recently had a really bad day where I held like 5 or 6 times and since then they haven't stationed me anywhere but prep. I love prep and it's my favorite station so I'm not complaining, but I've been stationed there everyday for about a week now and that doesn't usually happen to anyone. Its starting to feel like the reason they keep putting me on prep is because they don't trust me anywhere else.

I'm noticing my hours are getting less and less each week as if they're slowly letting me go. My manager made a comment toward me today about which station I would like to do for "the rest of the time you're here" and a team member looked surprised to see me today and sounded like he was about to say "I thought you were fired" but after he said "I thought you were..." he cut himself off and said he hadn't seen me in a while. He's right cuz I haven't been on the same schedule as him for the past 2 weeks, but that's just how they scheduled me. From his reaction it sounds like people are already talking about me being fired.

I honestly feel like they're waiting til after Christmas to fire me, but I'd rather quit than be fired so I'm trying to figure out if that's really what's going on. Does this sound like they're getting ready to let me go or has anyone else experienced something similar? I would appreciate any advice :)

I suck at dining room, it’s 30 tasks for one person I need tips

Hey Chick- Fil- A fam!

I've been tasked by my gm to find out whatever I can about an app called "rotations" created by a director with CFA.

As the name states, it's used as system to ensure we are rotating TM's properly throughout the day.

I thought reaching out on here to see if anyone has any knowledge about it's effectiveness and pros vs cons of using this system! Thank you in advance to anyone with answers!

Had an older customer ask me for loaf of bread. I said do you possibly mean the buns? I started listing them off, he cut me off and said NO! A loaf of bread.

At this point I just paused and looked at him like ? and nervously asked what he meant. He got really angry and asked me in a very condescending manner do you know what a loaf of bread is? I was getting annoyed at this point and said yes, I do know what a loaf of bread is and I'm sorry, we do not sell that. Could you possibly mean something else? He got even more mad threw his hands up and said to hell with it. Started driving off stopped his car and yelled whats your name? Told him my name and he says I'm reporting you to corporate.

Very fun times.

Mac prep and pull was the death of me. For some reason i became the designated Mac person and would have to prep and pull all the Mac for my store for lunch and dinner crew. Did anyone else’s store make them do Mac solo?? Climbing up the ladder with dozens of boxes weighing like 20 suckedddd 🫠

i just realized how cold it actually was while taking ipad orders today, and was wondering if there’s any recommended gloves that people use for this specific role ? i keep trying to look for ones that only have the index fingerless, but can’t find one — so any reccs in general help

Hey guys.

I started on December 2nd, but I had paid orientation on the 26th of November. I've worked all of last week. I already emailed my manager on HSTeams, just waiting on a response.

Do you think I will get paid this Thursday by direct deposit, or by paper this Friday? Or not until the next payday? Struggling with budgeting and would just like to know your thoughts, I'm not sure if I'm technically in between a pay period/etc.

Thanks!

My son just got offered a job at a brand new Chick fil A Supply warehouse. His next steps include a background check. He has a few misdemeanors and 0 felonies. Last conviction being in 2019. Will he be hired?

I just started working here and i’m confused for FL drinks. how do i know which counter to put the drinks on? because there is the mobile order, carry out, uber eats, doordash etc. how do i know when to put the drinks just on the counter next to me or the counter behind me someone help

I’ve been working here for over a year now and I just want to change it up. I need something new to dip my fries in that’s not CFA sauce. I LOVE CFA sauce but I need something different. What do you dip your fries in?

Today I got my first coin! Which at my store your get for “going above and beyond” managers only have a certain amount they can give out in a certain time period and you turn it in for a $20 bonus on your check. My manager is who mainly does BOH had a huddle about making sure when we bagged salads to say smth if the salads weren’t filled all the way. Specifically making sure the lettuce is up to the line. So I did just that. I was bagging and noticed the salad wasn’t up to the line and I said smth and he said something like “thank you! You’re gonna coin for that!” And I kinda laughed it off thinking it was smth so minor(cause I mean shouldn’t it be common sense to do what your manager ask!?) But he was serious and i actually got the coin! I just hope he knows how much i appreciate it and it really just made my month tbh.

Sorry rant over im just super happy and grateful to have such an awesome store and team members/managers!

I applied and got a phone interview. Phone interview seemed to go very well so I’m going to an in person interview Thursday. Hypothetically, if I’m hired, what are some key tips to help me do well in this job? I’ve never worked fast food before so I’m nervous as I’ve never touched a pos system or used a headset. Will I be shown how to? Thank you

My restaurant currently is trying to lower food waste and our current highest wasted items is Coater, Fries & Ice Dream. For the stores that have these items’ waste under control what are some ways that youve found to lower the waste.

I start work at CFA next week and they're currently asking me about my uniform sizes and everything. They gave me the option of wearing the solid red polo or the red and white striped polo for team members. Anyone have any advice on which one I pick? For context I live in a hot environment and I have a fairly stocky build so a polo that conceals my stomach would be ideal. Both polos look fine but I heard there's some differences.

hi everyone! I’m starting my first job at Chick-fil-A soon, and I’m both excited and a little nervous. For those who’ve worked there, what should I expect on my first day? I’m curious about the training process, how fast-paced it might be, and any tips for making a good first impression. Any advice would be super helpful—thanks in advance!

So I released part of my shift (blue) and picked up a shift (red) I don’t know if I did this right though. Would I still work the part I didn’t release? Will it show back up once someone picks it up?

I have my first day tmr, what should I expect?

Pretty much every location has a couple of different drinks. Pretty sure every CFA has coke, sprite, and dr.p, but besides that, what fountain drinks does your CFA have? 🥤💭

my chick-fil-a asked me when they hired me my grad year (which is 2025) because they like to honor graduates, i’m just wondering what they do for this if anyone knows?

so idk if other stores are doing this but my store is. basically if your on breading you have to move up everything and put the new pull at the last open. imo it’s just time consuming to do it but when your trying to do pull it’s complicated to just move it up first then do the pull. plus at my store we only have one breader during the shift.
