Remember the Chick-Fil-A Pepper Mill Grinder
I remember years ago when my neighborhood Chick-Fil-A restaurant had a large pepper mill and the staff would come by and offer to sprinkle my food with freshly ground pepper. But no more. I wondered if it was a casualty of COVID pandemic.
Apparently, I spoke too soon, when I asked on the r/ChickFilA subreddit.
Turns out there were several post-COVID mentions, with photographic evidence, that a few (or more?) Chick-Fil-A places still have the big pepper mill!
Why Chick-Fil-A Restaurants Have a Pepper Mill
According to u/DisplayUpbeat6371:
Mr. Cathy’s son wants one in every one of his chick-Fil-a’s says it’s not a restaurant without one!!!
According to u/Mundane_Singer808:
It seems no one here knows the true purpose of us having the pepper grinder In every store.
Since the passing of Mr. Truett, his family took over as I’m sure most of you know. There is a member of the family who very much loves fresh cracked pepper and if he ever comes into a chick fil a we have to have it available for him to use. You’ll find one i’d imagine in every chick fil a.
Source is me asking my director when being trained and then confirming with my operator who gave the same heartfelt response.
