A Texas Chick-fil-A recently celebrated the high school graduation of five employees with a socially distanced commencement ceremony in the restaurant’s parking lot.
Though the coronavirus health crisis has upended many events this spring, management at the chicken chain’s Babcock Road location in San Antonio made lemons out of lemonade and surprised its 2020 grads with a small, outdoor ceremony on Friday. Yes, masks and gloves were part of the grad uniform through the commencement.
After a few heartfelt speeches from teachers and Chick-fil-A staffers, each senior student walked down a red carpet, received a stole and gift basket, and posed for a photo with the chain’s cow mascot, who dressed for the occasion in robes and a mortarboard. Video footage of the heartfelt tribute has since gone viral with over 1,500 views on Facebook.
Nicest employees, lightening fast drive-thru service and now this?!....Chick-fil-A just gets it!
