A Pennsylvania Chick-fil-A owner is offering employees a car, thousands of dollars in cash, and other large gifts this Christmas season.
Aimee Hernandez, the owner of the Robinson Chick-fil-A, gave her employees gifts such as a Toyota RAV4, $1,000 in cash, and a Dyson vacuum cleaner, according to Newsweek. Hernandez said she was trying to find gifts that would “knock their socks off” because “they deserve the world.”
“I just kind of asked myself, ‘What would really knock their socks off?'” Hernandez told the outlet. “They deserve the world. They really do. They work so hard.”

Hernandez said she had done white elephant exchanges in the past with her employees, a gift exchange tactic that sometimes left people feeling “disappointed.”
“The past couple of years, it’s been challenging because the gifts have gotten a little bit bigger, but people were still leaving disappointed sometimes if nobody stole a gift that they got,” she said.
But this year, she decided to save money with the knowledge that she would wind up purchasing a car as one of the gifts.
“We turned it into a contest. Depending on how much you work, you got that many tickets,” Hernandez said. “Then you got to use your tickets to bid on whichever prize you know you wanted to win. If you only wanted to win the car, you could put all your tickets in there, and then we did a drawing, and it was so exciting and so fun for them.”
Other prizes in the contest included Pittsburgh Steelers tickets, a purse from Louis Vuitton, and a Nintendo Switch video game console.
