Many viewers were stunned on social media after a viral video captured the moment a teen Chick-fil-A employee was fired for sharing TikTok secrets.
A former Chick-fil-A employee from northern California was fired after sharing secrets on TikTok. She revealed ways to save money at the fast-food chain.
How the viral Tiktok video led to her firing
On July 22, TikTok user @anasteeezy posted a video with tips on secret menu items and ways to get discounts at Chick-fil-A.
In the footage, she began by revealing a hack to save money on Mango Passion Tea.
Her video quickly gained popularity, reaching 2.5 million views. However, just five days later, the 19-year-old shared an update: her viral success led to her firing.
“I work at Chick-fil-A, so I’m here to give you all the tips and tricks,” she said in the video. “This is only part one.”
Chick-fil-A worker revealed how to save moneny on Mango Passion Tea
In the first video, she explained how to get a better deal on Chick-fil-A’s Mango Passion Tea.
“Order an Arnold Palmer,” she said, explaining that customers should ask for four pumps of mango. “You get double the Mango Passion Tea for the same price.”
On July 27, she uploaded part two of her Chick-fil-A secrets series. In the video, she teased tips on frosted beverages, but things took an unexpected turn.
“Psych, guys, I’m actually on my way to get fired now,” she joked.
In another video, she mimed the situation. She called herself a “great employee” who loved her job, but after posting the TikTok, her boss called her to return her uniform.
The vieo quickly went viral and sparked debate on social media
In the comment selection many viewers express their shock about Chick-fil-A’s worker sharing.
One person said: No it’s called company secrets and the company has every right to fire and sue.
A second wrote: NDAs aren’t uncommon. She should have read all her paperwork carefully. Entirely her own fault.
While a third commented: Wow so many people belittling this woman. She was helping the general public save a little money.
Another added: Boohoo if a chain looses “secrets” people will still go because they don’t want to cook themselves and they rack in millions if not billions of dollars a year. It’s not that big of a deal helping others save money.
Someone else said: Not all superheroes wear capes. Somebody give this girl a raise!
Why did sharing discounts lead to her firring?
@anasteeezy seemed confused as to why revealing money-saving tricks would result in her firing. Despite the backlash, she continued to share more tips on Chick-fil-A menu items.
More Chick-fil-A tips shared after firing
Now unemployed, @anasteeezy continued posting Chick-fil-A hacks. She shared how to enhance frosted coffee with chocolate syrup, Oreos, and vanilla. She also explained how to add syrups like peach, mango, or strawberry to frosted lemonade.
For a budget-friendly option, she advised ordering a four-count chicken strip and two buns for just $1. This allows customers to create two sandwiches for the price of one.
She also recommended keeping receipts for free sandwich offers and mentioned that kids’ meal toys could be exchanged for ice cream.
Additionally, @anasteeezy shared that police officers could get discounts at Chick-fil-A.
While her videos helped her gain a following, they cost her job at Chick-fil-A. Sharing behind-the-scenes secrets proved to be a risk that many employees may want to reconsider.
