Why I Love Chick-fil-A

How a restaurant turned into a sibling tradition.

Why I Love Chick-fil-A

My sophomore year of high school, I went to a lot of concerts. As you can probably imagine, that quickly got very expensive. I finally got tired of asking my parents for money all the time, and I'm sure they tired of it too, so I decided to get a job.

I've always loved Chick-fil-A, so it seemed like the perfect employment opportunity. Working at Chick-fil-A was a great experience, and I truly enjoyed my time there. However, what I really love about it didn't actually arise while I was working.

I stopped working at Chick-fil-A just before my senior year of high school. Around this same time, my little brother was a freshman, and we would carpool to school every day. Without working all the time, I took any opportunity I had to get my Chick-fil-A fix.

Often, my brother and I would go to Chick-fil-A after school on our way home. This quickly became a weekly occurrence, and thus "Chick-fil-A Fridays" were born.

I've written about traditions and how important they are to me before, but this by far has to be my favorite tradition. Since coming to college, it's been one of the things I've missed most.

Not only do I love Chick-fil-A, but I also love the quality time its given me with my brother. Those extra fifteen minutes in the car gave us time to talk and catch up, and I truly think we're closer because of it.

I love Chick-fil-A for the food, the friendly atmosphere, and for giving me my first job opportunity. Yet, I love it most for bringing my brother and I closer together.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
