Chick-fil-A may be starting a new business: matchmaking.
福乐鸡也许在开展一项新的业务:做媒。
A Florida Chick-fil-A used its restaurant marquee to advertise that one of its employees, Tanner Waters, needed a date to prom.
福罗里达州的福乐鸡用它的餐馆招牌为它的员工坦纳.沃特斯做宣传,他需要参加一个毕业舞会舞伴。
“Tanner needs a prom date! Details inside.”
“坦纳需要一个舞伴! 细节在里面。”
The 17-year-old, a senior at Winter Springs High School, told Inside Edition he was struggling to find a date for his senior prom, which prompted him to ask his manager at the fast food chain to go with him.
这名17岁的少年是温特普林斯高中的高三学生,他在接受《新闻内幕》采访时表示,他正在努力为毕业舞会找舞伴,这促使他请求这家快餐连锁店的经理和他一起去。
“No, I’m not going to prom with you,” his manager, Billy McClarnon replied, Inside Edition reported. “But if you need some help, I’ll put it on the reader board for you.”
“不,我不会和你一起去参加舞会的,”他的经理比利.麦克拉农回答说,“但是如果你需要帮助的话,我会把你的需求放在广告显示板上。”
Waters was excited by the idea and let McClarnon advertise his plight on the board. Waters, who works at the chicken restaurant three times a week, also let McClarnon take a picture of him to show to potential suitors when he’s not there.
沃特斯对这一想法很感兴趣,于是让麦克拉农在显示板上为自己的困境做广告。沃特斯每周在这家鸡肉餐厅工作三次,他也让麦克拉农拍下他的照片,这样他不在的时候可以展示给潜在的追求者。
Waters said his prom is at the end of the month and hopes someone will respond to the ad.
沃特斯表示,他的毕业舞会将于本月底举行,希望有人能对这则广告做出回应。
However, he does have a plan B – a co-worker agreed to go with him if he can’t find a date, Inside Edition reported.
然而据《新闻内幕》报道,他还有B计划—如果他找不到约会对象,他的同事愿意和他一起去。
