I think either of these acceptance rates are computed by casting the widest net possible. Nevertheless I have to believe Chick-Fil-A has a very rigorous process for hiring managers, who in turn know how to hire good workers; I have never once encountered the typical surly fast food worker at any of their restaurants.
- frogpelt 7y agoSame. I ate at a food court that had a Chick Fil A and the Chick Fil A employee refilled everyone's drinks at our table even though they weren't all bought at Chick Fil A. That's just not normal for fast food workers.
- HeWhoLurksLate 7y agoI have had a similar experience as well, FWIW.
- reaperducer 7y agoI think either of these acceptance rates are computed by casting the widest net possible. Quote the opposite. In a Forbes (or similar business publication) last month it stated that Chick-Fil-A is very selective about who it allows to have a franchise. It gets something like 20,000 applications each year but only awards a few franchises. Apparently the biggest factor in getting a franchise is whether the owner has a demonstrated history of investment and involvement in the community.
- virtuous_signal 7y agoBy casting the widest net I mean they are including everything possible in the denominator: perhaps everyone who does the first stage of the process. I know way too many people from my small social circle, who got jobs at Google, to believe that only 2 in 1000 serious applicants gets in.
