U.S. — Chick-fil-A employees began taking over TSA duties at the beginning of the week, and airline passengers noted that wait times were eliminated almost immediately.

Agents could be seen walking through the lines, asking passengers if they needed help, moving things along quickly and efficiently, and even responding with "My pleasure" when thanked for their assistance.

"These guys are amazing," traveller Jenny Brandon told reporters. "They're so friendly and fast! I got through the line in mere seconds, and they were so nice to work with. They even gave me extra packets of sauce. I hope they take over the DMV next."

The new TSA Chick-fil-A workers could be seen smiling as they assisted travelers, something other airport workers said has never been seen at a TSA checkpoint. Line wait times were reportedly slashed as passengers walked through the checkpoints and made their flights with time to spare.

"I'm just happy to be doing my job," 16-year-old Chick-fil-A employee Ethan Greene told reporters. "We're trained to provide the best possible experience to our guests, and that's what we're going to do. I even started handing out waffle fries to people as they went through my line. It's the little things that set us apart."

At publishing time, the Trump administration announced it would also be sending Chick-fil-A employees to the southern border to politely ask potential traffickers to please turn back the way they came.
