    Default Chick-Fil-A, "My pleasure!"

    I'm all for good friendly service anywhere I go, but seriously, CFA has gone over the top with making their employees say "My pleasure!" at the end of the convo.

    Does it annoy you too? Cuz I'm pretty sure the person working there is happy to work there and say that line to EVERY customer.

    What do you think?

    It's better than having some chick roll her eyes and say "whatever" while she works her neck and gives three snaps in a Z formation like you get at damn near every McDonalds now.

    Wrong. That would require me to speak Spanish. Almost every MCd's I go to, the person at the counter or drive through speaks no English.

    It's fucking annoying.

    Either it's a really cute girl saying it, which makes me want to rape her or it's an ugly redneck ass bitch which makes me want to vomit.

    It's called good customer service.

    It's just shows that they do care about their customers, unlike Shanqiua at Wendys or Pedro at McD.

    Let me put it the way our Store's general manager puts it. It is our pleasure to serve you, and here is why. He is 25, with a daughter Olivia, he says it's his pleasure to have a job, that allows him to give his taughter the time she needs with him on his free Sundays, it's his pleasure to bring his fair share of the income for his family, it's his pleasure that you keep coming back to support the store and give him good job security.

    It's my pleasure to have the job security by serving you. It's my pleasure to have a job that granted me a $1k scholarship. It's my pleasure to have a wonderful Manager title to put on my resume, because I get to better myself serving you. It's my pleasure to see the comment cards at the end of each month with all 5s checked, a comment about politeness and my name written under the "people who served you". It's my pleasure to make somebody smile.

    Maybe they've got us brainwashed, or maybe I am just weird, but I do love being at my job. I get to interact and meet many interesting wonderful peopel (and some that are the opposite).

    It was like somebody posted in another CFA thread (yours is kind of a repost) "It can't be your pleasure dealing with customers with minimum wage". I don't know if you have noticed our popularity or prices, but we make a good bit of money as a store, so all the employers make about $1-$2 more than minimum wage. Min is what, $7.25 now, and I make 9 as a manager, it's not so bad.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    I don't know about you, but sometimes there are things about your job that you repeat that you dont even realise, it just becomes part of you.

    For example, my first job was working at Rite Aid. I was told to tell ever costumer hello and good bye, or have a nice day.

    I got used to saying this to costumers and I would sometimes say it with out even realising I just said it.

    So the people that tell you "my pleasure", I bet you, they don't give a shit about you or how you feel, or the food they just served you, but it's his job to say it, and he probably say it with out even thinking to say it.

    *My typing, sentance structure and spelling might be way off, but I hope you got my point.*

    I've heard all the perks about being a Chick-fil-a employee. My good Friend's Wife worked her way up to Store Manager for one here local, and was in line to become a Director of a new store. The bad thing is, you have to devote your LIFE to it. The store becomes like a child. You HAVE to go to Church, you have to go Sunday's and Wednesdays or something like that she said, you have to show up to work at least once a day, everyday. No matter for how long or little.

    I'm thinking a little on the brainwash side, but also it's good to have Nice southern morals.
