Saying "My Pleasure" instead of "You're Welcome" makes customers feel more truly valued and not like they owe you something and it also differentiates them in the fast food market with exceptional personal care which feels like a privilege and not a chore.
Chick-fil-A employees use "My Pleasure" instead of "You're Welcome" as they are trained to say "My Pleasure" instead of "You're Welcome which is for elevated service as it's a small phrase that signals a higher level of hospitality, making their guests feel like VIPs.

Saying "My Pleasure" also conveys that serving their customers is not a burden, but instead is a joy, which reinforces the idea that customers are appreciated.
And over time, it's also become an unwritten and sometimes written rule, with the Chick-fil-A employees being trained to use the saying of "My Pleasure" to use it as a core part of the "Core 4" service standards.
The saying "You're welcome" can also sound indifferent or imply a transaction, while saying "My Pleasure" suggests a genuine enjoyment in helping, and removing any feeling that the customer is indebted.
