WATCH: Chick-fil-A manager volunteers expertise to help with drive-thru vaccine lines

As lines of cars wind around parking lots nationwide with drivers awaiting COVID-19 tests or vaccinations, one local town tapped an expert to help manage operations.

Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, Mayor Will Haynie shared a video with "Good Morning America" of local Chick-fil-A manager Jerry Walkowiak helping to ensure drivers had their paperwork in order and were following the in-car waiting system accordingly.

Walkowiak's repurposed skill set was put to good use at the vaccination site drive-thru last week -- bolstered with additional volunteer support from the local Rotary Club.

The fast-food chain, best known for its famous chicken sandwich, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
