Chik Fil-A “camp” - thoughts

Chik Fil-A children’s camp draws child labor complaints


So what’s you take on this - parents paying $35 - to dump their kid at a Chik Fil-A for 3 one hour sessions where they get a t-shirt, snack, lecture from a manager and the opportunity to see what it’s like working in fast food.

For what it is - really don’t understand why they are charging $35 - or at least not handing the kids a $35 Gift Card at the end (if you do it free - you know they would be flooded with people dumping their kids off).

I mean nothing wrong with letting kids get a taste of real life jobs - but having kids “working” in a busy kitchen is probably not the brightest idea. Smarter would be setting up at a local school/community center/church with a mobile Chik Fil-A and letting the kids “serve” lunch to some veterans, seniors or homeless or something.

Other than that - the idea is good - but the implementation is all wrong.

Does it have to be a kid?
I'm thinking about taking JJ and dumping him there.

So the parents are paying so their kids can see what it's like to work? The kids should be getting paid somehow!

Drop them off for one hour ? Yeah that’s not a camp Chick-fil-A nice try lol.

Sounds more like a scared straight to me. Absolutely gotta let those little shits know what time it is. Chik Fil A seems like a BRUTAL job. One by me is literally packed from lunch rush until close.

I remember those scared straight shows. Awesome stuff.

The daughter went there yesterday for lunch

Are they doing this at only select locations?

 

[djefferis]

Just the one location in Louisiana as far as I know.

Again - not a bad idea getting kids into a setting where they are working with the public - but better ways to do it AND create a public service mentality.

It’s almost as bad as the local Wendy’s and their huge ass banner quoting George Bush about “living a life in service to others” - clearly HW Bush was not talking about taking a minimum wage job in fast food.

Chick Fil-A gets enough flack over the religious stuff - why invite more problems with this. Quit calling it a “camp” and just make it a free lunch and talk with a manager at their locations.

Could you imagine a sportsbook/racetrack doing this ?? 10 year old kids sitting behind the counter running totes ?

Never trust people that are too nice and happy. Better off dropping you kids off at a 1% biker clubhouse.

Exactly - at least not outside of the ‘hood.

They act like parents haven’t been giving their kids $5 and dropping them at McDs with a playland for 6 or 8 hours a few decades now - telling them to lie and say parents in the bathroom if anyone starts asking questions.

$35 is a rip off.

damn places are a license to print money - and I have no idea why.

Food is ok overall - but would take a Canes any day over Chick Fil-A

I wanna go just for the t-shirt

Bet this would be good for booking with the employees

Oh I agree. Even Cane's fries are better

They had one in the atrium where I went to school, easy 20 minute wait at all times until they closed

Yea - JJ around a bunch of 5-12 year olds…what could go wrong ?

Good point.
JJ Could end up with 15 to life.

You are thinking of illini, JJ is not a chomo. He just loves men and women and will do ANYTHING for $

Exactly - nothing sexual to be worried with JJ - but still can’t see parents being comfortable having him around kids. Would you want your kids beginning to talk and act like JJ? What a “role model”

I would rather drop my kids off at Carolina Kids yacht
