Controversial Chick-fil-A Summer Camp Charges Kids $35 To Work At The Restaurant
Campers will learn customer service skills, how to take an order, and other tasks.
Pretty sure it takes place when the restaurant is closed. They learn to do those things, they don't actually do them for customers. It's the whole "kids like to pretend" thing.
I don't support them because of their views and policies they fund, but I prefer reporting to be accurate.
Kids can pretend to work at Chick-Fil-A without paying to do it in a real location. This is pure advertising to children who could just use their imaginations if that's what they want. And if you don't think this sort of thing spreads to other kids, you don't know about Space Camp.
I can appreciate both sides of this issue, but as a parent myself, I’m leaning toward mostly agreeing with you. It’s insane how much corporate indoctrination there is. Disney is the worst, but they’re all salivating for the chance to get their hooks into the brains of young kids, because they turn into lifelong customers. It’s the same reason why fast food chains have playgrounds out front. Even if you see an innocent playscape, the marketing is there.
I don't know many people that would pay money for food prepared by 5-12 year old hands.
I know a lot, but the hands have to come from China, India, Bangladesh or similar nations
Pretty sure it takes place when the restaurant is closed
are these rest usually closed 9 am to 12 pm?
I don't have insider information, but there's just no way labor laws are going to let such little kids do the actual restaurant work.
Doing a quick search, I see this ABC news article on it.
A representative for the company explained to ABC News that this is not a corporate program and assured the restaurant staff are still the ones making any food and the children are not doing any work of a hired team member.
So they aren't actually working. Again, I'm not a fan of the company, but let's save our outrage for where it belongs.
Let’s roll back workers protections and legalize child labor like how “Governor” Hulckabee Sanders did in Arkansas
The bigot chicken restaurant that espouses conservative values wants children to pay to work there? Color me shocked.
Conveniently located nextdoor to the conversion therapy camp.
I'd almost rather summer vacation be canceled than have to attend that camp
5-12 year olds getting to see how one of their favorite nugget providers do what they do, and they get nuggets and ice cream while they see it.
I think there's a lot of really fucked up things with chic-fil-a specifically, but this just doesn't seem like one for me. I can see kids loving this, though I wouldn't send mine because i'm sure there's mandatory group prayer or some other bullshit I wouldn't be ok with.
The children yearn for the
minesfast food drive-thruThere really is a thin line between letting kids find out about new experiences about things they find relatable and nationwide chains aiming propaganda about working in their restaurants at impressionable children.
It would look a lot less sketchy if it was part of a larger, multi-industry learning experience that didn't reward the kids with treats.
Sure but then it would be a much bigger program, not just one store in the middle of where ever
Da fuq? Wow, the lows corporate america will go to...
I learned yesterday that Waffle House pays some of its employees $3/hour.
That low?
For comparison, in Ontario, Canada minimum wage for tipped servers are:
$16.55 per hour - General minimum wage; including liquor servers, bartenders and waiters.
$15.60 per hour - Students (someone who is under 18 and works 28 hours/week or less*)
But...FREEDOM! Am I right?
Chik-fil-a does something stupid. Must be a day that ends in y.
Hey, not true! The corporation doesn't do anything stupid on Sundays.
