One aspect of fast food and other service jobs is the fact that you're expected to wear a uniform. Not just follow a dress code, but wear things specified by the employer.
For a lot of jobs, the uniform comes out of pocket, too. Though, it's looking like that might not always be the case. At least, not upfront.
Jake Turner (@trayjonturner) recently got a job with the fast food chain Chick-fil-A, and used TikTok to show off the uniform set he'd just brought home, before taking on his first shift.
In this unboxing (or I guess it would really be more of an un-bagging), Jake shows each piece of the new uniform. First off is the hat, which seems pretty standard.
A couple of pairs of black pants and red shirts with a "make it good" emblem on them. It looks like he gets two of each, which makes a lot of sense.
I think to the surprise of Jake and the audience, Chick-fil-A provided him with a uniform belt. That's... actually pretty awesome.
And of course, his shiny new name tag is in the bag as well.
"What do y’all think of the Chick-fil-A sandwich 3s? They’re actually not too bad," Jake says. "They gave us all this, and you only have to pay for the shoes."
"Good luck you are lucky because most jobs do not supply you with all that stuff usually they give you a shirt and a hat and not pants and belt," one commenter wrote.
A former employee commented, "CFA was my first job when I was 16 & they gave us one pair of pants and shirt! Nice they gave y'all shoes and I loved working there!"
"Little does he know it’s coming out his first check it will be nothing," somebody commented, despite the fact that Jake said he was only being charged for the shoes.
Jake posted a follow up video not long after the original (earlier in May), and talked about how his first day on the job was better than he was expecting. That sounds good!
As of May 18th, 2022, the TikTok has over 744K views as well as 91K likes. It's safe to say these numbers are making Jake and Chick-fil-A pretty happy right now.
