For the full-time student, part-time employee who knows the struggle

Students with jobs are the chosen ones, the schedule Jedis who can handle working out before their four classes and then come into work for a six hour closing shift.

At least, they’re the ones that can do this and (usually) avoid breaking down (in front of you).

I’ve been working at Chick-fil-A for about seven weeks now, and as much as I love the people and the food, I still value eight hours of sleep and an intact social life. Did I mention THE FOOD?

We do this for the grind though. In dedication to us, here are the relatable Kenan and Kel from the Good Burger putting on display all of our work struggles, even if you’re not in the food business.
