10 Annoying Things You Probably Do At Chick-fil-A
Chick-fil-A

Working at Chick-fil-A is a challenge in itself, considering the line at almost every store in the nation is always wrapping around the door. However, working at Chick-fil-A on a college campus comes with a whole new set of struggles. In order to help us help you, here's a list of no-nos for whenever you decide to swing by for some nuggets.

1. Asking for five sauces when you only ordered eight nuggets.

Trust me, I love Chick-fil-A sauce as much as the next person, but do you really need a handful of sauce packets for one item? The more sauce you take, the more we have to refill during a rush. You should be eating nuggets with sauce, not sauce with nuggets.

2. Throwing a fit when we say we're out of something.

No, I'm not lying about the fact that we ran out of a certain sauce, or a certain milkshake flavor. No, I'm honestly not sorry. And just a PSA, everyone knows that the Chick-fil-A on campus runs out of cookies after the lunch rush, so stop acting so surprised when we say we're out around dinner time. My job is to ring you up politely and give you your food, not unload the shipping truck and make sure we have enough Hershey's syrup for the week.

3. Getting to the front of the line and not knowing what you want.

Please tell me how you just spent the past twenty minutes waiting in line yet you still don't know what's on the menu. If we're being real, you can choose between chicken on bread, chicken in a box, or chicken on top of some lettuce. It isn't the Cheesecake Factory with an entire book for a menu.

4. Complaining when you order grilled nuggets and have to wait five entire minutes.

We don't sell enough grilled nuggets to keep them pre-cooked in the back, so they're made to order. We tell you this before you put your order in, so don't act like you have no idea why you have to wait an extra five minutes. If you look at it this way, you're getting fresh nuggets, so I think it's worth the wait anyways.

5. Leaving us your change as a "tip" and acting like we owe you something for it.

Not that we need tips, but five cents definitely doesn't count as one. And even if it did, we don't owe you anything just because you left us your change.

6. Leaving your trash on the tables.

JMU has an amazing housekeeping staff; however, Chick-fil-A employees are not part of that team. There are literally six trash cans in the building and two outside. You're a college student, pick up your trash and throw it away.

7. Coming in at 9:59 p.m.

We've been open since 7am, and you decide to come in with your ten friends one minute before we close and proceed to order one of everything on the menu? You can't be serious.

8. Ordering while you're on the phone.

Please yell at me again about how it's my fault your order is wrong when you were on your phone the entire time I took and repeated the order back to you.

9. Ordering a meal when you just want the entree.

You probably don't even realize it, but when you order a meal and then say you just want water or no drink, I have to delete everything and restart again. Now this wouldn't be a huge issue if you didn't get an attitude when I asked you to repeat your order, considering I had to start fresh.

10. Asking for things we obviously would never serve.

No, we don't have hamburgers. No, we don't sell alcohol. If it doesn't involve some type of chicken nugget, we probably don't have it.

Of course, it'll always be "my pleasure" to serve you, but please, don't abuse it.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
