Chick-fil-A worker claims he was made to wear black uniform in 110 F for \u2018Cow Appreciation Day\u2019 Chick-fil-A \/ TikTokA Chick-fil-A employee has called out the extreme weather conditions they\u2019ve been asked to work under, apparently all for \u2018Cow Appreciation Day\u2019. A TikTok video recently went viral, after a Chick-fil-A worker took to the platform to share their frustrations surrounding the difficult temperatures they had to face while working at the job. \u201cWhen I was in high school I worked for Chick-fil-A because no other job would hire me, so I took what I could get,\u201d he explained. \u201cChick-fil-A\u2019s biggest day of the year was always Cow Appreciation Day. For anyone lucky enough to not know this, Cow Appreciation Day falls on the second Tuesday of every July and I worked in Phoenix Arizona.\u201d \u201cSo by the time we got to mid-July, temperatures were regularly hitting 110 degrees,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd despite the absolutely nasty conditions outside, my manager said, \u2018Well we have chicken to sell.\u2019 So myself and this other girl were put outside to work the two drive-thru lines,\u201d he explains. \u201cOur uniforms were all black, the sun is beating down on us. I\u2019m sweating, but I\u2019m also born and raised in Phoenix, so like, I kinda know how to handle it. \u201cThe girl I was working with was new to Arizona. Her body did not know how to adapt to that. It was so ridiculous they ended up assigning another person from inside to periodically like run ice and sh*t out to us to keep us from passing out.\u201d Instead of bringing them inside, the TikToker said: \u201cThey kept me there \u2019cause I hadn\u2019t passed out yet, and they said, \u2018Thanks for doing such a swell job guys.\u2019 They wouldn\u2019t even give us a free meal to say \u2018thank you\u2019 because our staff\u2019s meal privileges had been revoked because we \u2018hadn\u2019t earned it.\u2019 So genuinely, nastiness across the board.\u201d TikTok weigh in on uniform fiasco After the video was posted on the platform, many were quick to side with the staff member, some even sharing similar experiences: \u201cThis always happened in my first job. It was last summer and they would send us outside for hours at a time without water and this is north Texas where summers came be 90-100\u00b0.\u2019 \u201cI\u2019m the reason we can\u2019t be outside when it gets too hot at my cfa. I had a heart problem and passed out one day, so my mom called and threatened to get the Department of Labor involved.\u201d One even claimed that they\u2019d braved completely alternate weather conditions at Chick-fil-A: \u201cThe restaurant I work at has us outside too. I got sent out in a snowstorm with nothing but a jacket. Got frostbite and passed out and they still didn\u2019t care.\u201d Chick-fil-A also went viral this month, after a TikToker shared a hack that had the internet salivating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
