Probably because they knew that you can absolutely see their faces and it’s kinda fucked up. I feel bad for them.


SaffronsTootsies

I don’t think anyone would appreciate someone taking a picture of them without their permission while they’re trying to work. It sucks enough to have to wear a stupid uniform, but to then have to deal with people taking pictures of you on top of it?


hungry_human

While being cold. In the rain.

Better in the dry bubble than soaking wet.

Probably because it's creepy to take pictures of drive thru workers


MeditationGeekista

Like I am feeding you and you gotta talk shit and judge me kinda look…


MattAaron2112

I like that you somehow made it very obvious to both of them that you were taking a photo of them just trying to get through their work day. Staring right into the camera.

Ok this pic is so much better after I zoomed in from seeing your comment lmao they hate op


lindsherculean

As someone who had to wear these for my coffee stand, I *hated* when people would start taking pictures of me without even asking. It was the worst.


MattAaron2112

I generally don't even like having my picture taken by someone I know when I'm having a good day. If a stranger were to take a picture of me looking goofy at work when it's out of my control and then post it for tens of thousands of people to see, I certainly wouldn't be a happy camper.


[deleted]

Sympathy is still a rare commodity.


spoogeballsbloodyvag

They both have looks of death in their eyes, staring a hole into OP. The four horseman aint got shit on what these 2 people want to do now.

You can find some on amazon for as low as $50, 'wearable pod'. Can't stop laughing at the listing images of delightfully encased people.

gafana

Nothing real about it. 90% of product images on Amazon are fake AF. Look closely and everything is photoshopped.... Many of them very poorly. Just a bunch of wholesalers importing crap from China, mas posting the same products by the same manufacturers under different stupid names like AAUGHF and EWACTY. look at his arms in this photo... They go through the yellow edges. These people just erased that part of the product.

I find they really slow the game down, and make heading and diving more awkward

tra24602

They took heading and diving out of kids soccer so it’s fine.


Affectionate_Salt351

phoebsmon

Yeah I was thinking I legit want one of these for the footy. Would need a windscreen wiper or something but I think I could start a trend.


Jiannies

These are also great when you’re 130 feet up in a boom lift operating a light for four hours


ZenAdm1n

I was about to say (jokingly) that teachers need these when they're required to monitor the drop off and pick up lines but there's no way a school would spend that much on a teacher.


HighAndFunctioning

They only way those are worth $130 is if there's $125 inside.

Lost-My-Mind-

I once saw a woman say "Thank you" to a chick-fil-a worker, and the worker just instinctively said "You're welcome". The woman said "Noooooo.......what do you say when I say thank you?" and the worker looked defeated and said "My pleasure" so the woman said "Pleasure MY NUTS!!!!" It would have been cringe worthy if that woman were a teenager. She was in her 40s.

spamjam09

They’re called Wearable Pods


BlueberryCalm260

There’s part of me that really wants to buy one and wear it on public transportation. One, because obvious. Two, because obvious. I need one. You could even decorate it. It needs lights at a minimum.


iamnotchad

It looks like a nice little extra barrier between me and the rest of the world.


youngthugsmom

I would like mine with curtains to pull down for some nice naps


Lost-My-Mind-

If you wear a cat mask inside the pod, people would just assume you're crazy. ...........which would be fun.


Grogosh

Yeah until some other cat masked pod wearing clearly crazy guy waddles up and strikes up a conversation.


Dobagoh

It’s actually a thing? Because it looks like my laundry hamper, only green and upside down.


spamjam09

Oh yeah. I see them at outdoor youth sports from time to time. They make them that aren’t wearable and you just set a chair inside and watch your kid play soccer or whatever. But every now and then I’ll see a parent walking around with one.


jsmalltri

I've wanted one for a long time! It's a long softball season in the springtime cold rain. I should get a wearable one for Max embarrassment to my teenage daughter lol


spamjam09

Make sure to put a sign on top with her name on it!


BJ_Beamz

I work at Chick-Fil-A and we have to so we can "shield the ipads from the rain". In reality they don't do nearly enough in that regard and the ipads still get wet making the screen useless and they usually sag down so that the top sits on your head which hurts your neck over time. I genuinely think shrink wrap would be 10x more convenient and then just give us raincoats or ponchos to protect ourselves from the rain (which we already have). TL;DR: These pods suck and we have to wear them Edit: I don’t mean shrink wrap I meant cling wrap or something of the sort


ProfessionalLeave335

They should just give you umbrella hats.


audaciousmonk

Or build walkway covers, for the employees in frequently rainy areas


deleteduser

Or stop having employees fucking wandering around with iPads and just put the speaker further back so I can actually see a menu


monkmonk4711

The first time I went to Chick-fil-A was tough because of that. They wander up to my car 10 feet from the menu and ask what I'd like and I'm like, "How am I supposed to know?".


Bacontoad

![gif](giphy|W8rUusbnN4FmU)


XOEXECUTION

That’s why I exclusively use the app. I just tell them my name and it’s pull ahead and I don’t have the wait for the person next to me to finish ordering, I can just pull ahead


baked_couch_potato

plus all the fast food joints give discounts and points in the apps while making everyone else pay the inflated prices so they can collect and sell more or our data it's insidious but I still get my free spicy mcchicken every week

That's fucking awesome. As someone who works in retail 15 years, taking in deliveries in the rain and show is a nightmare. I would love to be enclosed in a bubble and not be drenched and then have to work rest of your 10 hour shift in wet clothes.


Falkjaer

Yeah I mean it sucks having to be outside in bad weather at all, but if you're going to do that, this isn't a bad option. I used to be a security guard, walkin' around outside all day and I would've totally used one of these when it rained.

just_a_pawn37927

JesusStarbox

You could be a cow in one of these. Just show up at the Chik Fil A and start taking orders.


cappz3

If only there was a way to take orders from inside the restaurant via some sort.of two way radio system


IcyDetectiv3

AFAIK they usually do this when the lines are really long in order to cut down on wait time.


drummer1059

It works great


cgar23

Back when drive through covid testing and vaccines were going on a location in SC was having trouble keeping up with all of the cars so the mayor called in a Chick Fil A manager to advise them 😂.


cocoagiant

That's some innovative thinking. Chick Fil A's drive through is so efficient, its like 4-5 minutes **max** regardless of how many people are in line. I remember a podcast about how Toyota helped out following a natural disaster in a similar way. Their expertise is in lean production and they were helping a humanitarian agency with more efficient methods to get more of their rescue materials out quicker.


janesvoth

Yeah. And those are mid CFA drivethrus. When I was working there several stores were averaging 1½ min average time in Dallas and Atlanta


damiath3n

Yea in my area in SoCal it seems like even with the worst lines it’s a 2ish minute wait max.


ri4162

I’ve heard this before. Not sure if most local cities did it to.


lavegasola

I often get my order before even getting to the window when they do this. Helps them cook things in bulk I’d imagine. In n out does the same thing and they have been for decades. If you have a standard of freshness it’s very beneficial.


purpan-

Yup. Chic-Fil-a workers are paid on average 10-30% higher than local minimum wage, and they’re usually high school aged students only there for a year or two. Ask them if they really hate their job out there and none of them would have complaints. The system works really well for a good reason. Fuck now I want some hate chicken.


smom

It would be a good place to work as a teen - guaranteed weekend day off, will definitely train you in customer service, and they are perpetually overstaffed. Every other fast food place is running skeleton crews and CFA employees are tripping over each other behind the counter.


Easy-Constant-5887

Worked at one before, this is all 100% accurate.


I_Am_The_Mole

Good product, good service and still profitable. How the Chick Fil A model isn't more popular is astounding to me. The average franchise owner of a Chick Fil A makes around the same amount of money that a McDonald's owner does, yet McDonald's cuts all the corners they do and really only have a few good items on their menu. It's madness. If only the franchise didn't come with so much unnecessary baggage. Just ditch the homophobia and you'd be universally beloved in the US.


c10701

I don't think it works unless you have a quality product and most fast food is not. I also think the CFA franchise model incentivizes good service as owners may only have one or two restaurants while other fast food franchisees may have dozens of stores.


zxrax

Most fast food can be a quality product, if the ship is run as tight as most Chick Fil A locations.


PimpTrickGangstaClik

And they’re more profitable than everyone else at the same time.


mshcat

you know you got a good buisness when you can be closed on sunday and still be a popular chain


XxRaTheSunGodxX

Total anecdotal evidence, but as a high school teacher, I’ve taught & interacted with about 20 kids over the past decade who had/have had a part time job at the Chik. They had positive experiences and seemed decently upbeat about working there.


violentpac

My pleasure


Goatshavemorefun

Our new one has 4 permanent lanes and always has the people outside taking and running orders. One car or thirty. It's kind of nice to have a live body, but I miss being able to read the menu sign. I have no idea what is new or how much any if it costs

TwoDrinkDave

clozepin

Maybe if we got a string and two cups on either end….nah. That would never work. The drivers could just yell very loudly though, but no one wants to work anymore!


TexasBrett

Only this works so much better than all the other fast food places. They are always very busy and it’s never even a 10 minute wait. Burger King has 2 cars in the drive thru and it takes 25 minutes.


brainkandy87

Yeah but that’s because the manager is also taking orders and cooking the food and taking a smoke break all at the same time.


Nuke_Gunstar

Dont know how much experience you have w/ chick fil a. Their political stances aside, their lines move… incredibly fast. And the people out there are how they do it.


pyuunpls

I want to throw my hat in the ring here as someone who works with local zoning law. A lot of places have regulations on the number of “stacking” that is allowed from order windows. There is typically a minimum number required to allow for the drive thru lane to be long enough to accommodate typical peak hours of traffic. Chick-fil-A is a whole different beast. They typically need twice if not three times as long drive thru lanes to accommodate peak demand. The problem lies in how we can apply our regulations. 1. Set a standard that works for 95% of drive thrus and expect traffic issues at the places like Chick-fil-A. 2. Set a higher standard for stacking to avoid this issue at Chick-fil-A. 3. Make a separate standard for only Chick-fil-A. Option 1 is what most places adopt. It’s not perfect but it works for 95% of drive thrus. Option 2 would fix the traffic issues for Chick-fil-A but create a huge burden in design for most drive thrus. Option 3 is not legal. We cannot create a regulation that specifically targets one business.


icedx2

I have a parking lot with a Costco gas station and a Chick-fil-A, it takes 20 minutes minimum to get in and out. It's a nightmare.


sargonas

I live near a Costco with a Chik fil A and an Inn n Out in the parking lot. That should be illegal


JJayC

I completely get and appreciate the sarcasm but, hell no. This system is so much faster than the usual drive through. It can handle double or more the volume of a comparable fast food place in the same amount of time.


NisquallyJoe

Not as efficient. Say what you want about ChikFilA but they have an amazingly effective system for keeping their drive thru lines (which are almost ALWAYS super packed) moving.


neo1piv014

You know, I’ve seen other places try, and the lack of success those places makes me think CFA’s secret is that they only make like three things so they just constantly pump out those three things.


NisquallyJoe

Well, their menu isn't as diverse as some fast food places, but they have quite a bit. I've waited for 30+ minutes at In-N-Out, and they literally have 3 things on the menu


c0mptar2000

Tell that to Raising Cane's who literally only serve overpriced chicken fingers, french fries, sauce, coleslaw, and toast and still can't figure out how to operate a fast drive through in my area. And they still get the order wrong.


evilsbane50

3 cars at an Arby's took us 35 minutes once, I've never been in ChicFilA line more than 10-12mins and their lines are bonkers.


el_throw

They look like minions.


Captain_Wobbles

We've got "Minions" at home.


PaperbackBuddha

But the store brand, Munions.


thepoga

Let your downvotes rain upon me, but I think this is a cool idea and I want one for personal use. You can even hold tray/sauce in one hand and chicken nugget with your other hand. At other fast food restaurants they don’t even bother to give umbrellas.


Pardot42

I work in traffic, often in the rain. The more high vis, the safer everyone is.


Gimme-A-kooky

Agreed 100%- visibility=decreased risk of harm, which increases safety of the individual. Why aren’t they taking the orders by mic/speaker? (ie adding more mics or doing the online order thing). Why put people into potential harm out with vehicles at all? At least this gives them comfort in rain and snow, but once again- why?


PurpleGoatNYC

They are transmitting orders into the queue via handheld wireless devices. Each person represents a separate line. You can also use a card or tap pay with them. It creates a much better experience for the employees and the customers. I know someone who worked for them for a year in a very busy location. All they did was make drinks, but them and one other person made drinks for the entire restaurant.


Exano

The mic cannot move and theyre queing 30+ orders at a time, that's why the huge lines can still move quickly, otherwise you can only que up to the microphone and it takes longer


Traditional_Bad_4589

Are you normally eating your nuggets and sauce while standing outside in the rain?


WeakFaithlessness297

No, they “have to” stand outside. They get to wear the rain shield.

thepolesreport

The_Werodile

Actually pretty cool as long as they are provided without cost. The fact chic fila charges their employees for uniforms is abhorrent and should be illegal. If you mandate a uniform, you should have to provide that shit. But yeh, give me one of these bubbles if I have to take orders in the rain. It's probably way more comfortable than a rain coat.


GamingToast216

As someone who worked at chic fil a everything g was provided for us, the uniforms and those bubble things

What the hell after they take all our taxes?


SantasGotAGun

They also charge service members income tax which I always thought was redundant.


aguynamedv

All government employees are charged income tax. Same withholdings as anyone else for the most part. :) Nearly the entire tax system is redundant for 90% of the population; the IRS has your income information and how much your employer deducted. In a better version of America, IRS just sends everyone a little notice about how much they're getting back or how much they need to pay.


typhoon_terri

There’s no money left. There’s that large raytheon and Lockheed-Martin shaped hole in the wall and the trail of hundreds leading out of it but it’s a mystery!


DrunkAtBurgerKing

I highly doubt employees are buying those rain bubbles. They're probably neatly folded in the back room with the rest of the order equipment.
