Every job i’ve worked for they even say if someone from the news comes in to ask questions you can’t just openly respond. Especially with CFA being christian owned and operated company, they could care less about the monetary gain from people who wanna make a 60second video for views to “pull in more business” not everything needs to be recorded. Yall really be mad these companies dont care to watch you eat food online for views.

    Yeah, I'd say someone that Chick-fil-A corporate p. R is kicking their own a** right now. And who is in charge of PR is either gebring the new one by someone higher than him. Or he's getting fired if he's the one that decided to. Say something to her about not doing that. Because as far as I know, free advertisement is priceless, especially when it's a popular person on TikTok or KZread who is seen by hundreds of thousands of people a day and not just her subscribers are watching her but other people are washing there. I do I don't understand why companies get so upset when their employees do stuff like this, especially when it's helping the company. It'll be one thing, if it was negatively affecting the company. But I would say someone in the p. T teams going to get fired.

I am heartbroken that they have bent the knee to the woke, satanic agenda. When you don't build it it you don't care for it. I'm glad this worked out for her. As for me I don't eat at Chick-fil-la anymore and you shouldn't either. They have chosen to go with toxic ingredients. They are no better than McDonalds now.
