[font=ScoutBold, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Chick-fil-A manager has banned staff from using teen slang at work[/font]

[font=ScoutBold, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]‘Fam’, ‘cuz’ and ‘bruh’ are just three words employees of this restaurant are banned from using.[/font]

[font=ScoutLight, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The manager of fast-food chain Chick-fil-A, known only as Eric, apparently became so infuriated by his colleagues’ use of slang he typed up a list of forbidden words.
[/font]
[font=ScoutLight, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Among the offenders are ‘turn up’, ‘3Hunnid’ and ‘chill’ – to which he explains: ‘Unless we are talking about something that is chilled.’
[/font]
[font=ScoutLight, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He adds that staff must stop accusing people of having Ebola.
[/font]
[font=ScoutLight, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The sheet, entitled ‘you will speak properly when you walk through these doors’, was posted on Reddit by user [font=ScoutBold, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Mausar[/font].
[/font]
[font=ScoutLight, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]We’d love to decipher this list of slang for you, but even we don’t possess the pidgin these employees have demonstrated so well.
[/font]
[font=ScoutLight, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Although this video might help shed some light on a few words…cuz.[/font]

Leave the street talk on the streets. Act professional at work, even if you're a fast food employee.

Not sure what that video had to do with the article...

Having purchased food from fast food places before, I can say that I literally do not care how the people talk. This is just some old guy being crotchety. Honestly not surprised about a work place doing this because work places are inherently fascist-lite. You're employees aren't going to work any faster, and in all likelihood will simply use different slang and might even work less efficiently because you're a dick to them. And as for the "you are a professional so speak professionally," I reply: it is a Chik-Fill-A. You do not pay your employees enough to make it worth their while and it is a fast food establishment, no one cares. I just wish they could unionize (threatening to take away employee meals? Horrible).

It is there business and they can decide on the professional image that they want to put forward to their customers. In some ways it is no different than having a work dress code.
They may want to take this into account however at the interview stages of their hiring process.
