    What a douche.
    Here's a new demo called "in the fire":

    The article says "People on both sides of the debate blasted him for his treatment of the woman in thousands of posts online."

    That about sums it up. So now we can go back to debating the real story.

    this thread illustrates the blind hate. thanks op.

    The best thing about this video is "I Wanna Rock & Roll All Night" being confused as a Who song --- the host starts the segment by saying "I love the Who" hahahaha

    I noticed that too....wow. HOW do you fuck that up? pathetic.

    This shit passes for news these days, huh? even more pathetic. Drive thru bully? :fp: :lol: Ya, that was soooo harsh, I'm soooo impressed that that woman kept her composure! :roll:
    Chick Fil A appreciation day? Man do people ever love to pick a team...even if it's the losing team. as long as they feel like they belong, and that their opinions are validated by the opinions of others. sad sad sad....

    The worst thing about this whole non-story is -now that Smith has been humiliated and fired- do we have to worry about him picking up a gun and going on a shooting spree?
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    I'm guessing this guy's job had been on the line for a while and this was the final straw. You don't fire valuable employees for dumb stunts like this. And valuable employees usually know better then to do something dumb like this. This is something a college kid would do.

    Now future employers know who he is. Good luck finding a job.

    Part of me wonders if this was just some great big marketing campaign by Chicwhatever...

    I believe everyone is on the same page on this one... the guy is a fucking asshole.
    It has nothing to do with Free Speech or Gay Marriage or corporate influence... and EVERYTHING to do about being a shitty human being. I mean, come on... picking on a person in a starting minimum waged skilled job and acting like it is some sort of 'activism'? She's just a worker at one of the franchises, she doesn't control the company, it's action or decisions. Grow up you fucking spineless dick.
    Add: Both times I went to the Chik-a-fil, the people were very nice. I only regret that their sandwiches were kinda crappy. But, I'm not going to be a dick and tell them so... I just lied and told them everything was just fine... and go to the 'In And Out', instead.

    I agree it was pointless, and he was being a dick....but this whole thing is totally blown out of proportion. It's not like he was even verbally abusive....just stating his opinion. The girl would have been totally within her rights to tell him they're like assholes....the whole thing is ridiculous....the fact it was shown on Fox, and 'went viral' is the most ridiculous part of it all.

    I would think so too.

    I can't watch the video from work but read the accompanying article. This guy was a CFO?

    Just seems so stupid to "fight hate with hate"...like the idiot who spraypainted a local CFA here.

    Dumbasses.

    ...
    This entire thing has been blown out of proportion.
    The CEO is entitled to have and voice whatever his opinion is.
    The Corporation has every right to contribute to whatever cause they want.
    The Public has every right to react... boycott, voice an opposition, whatever.
    It SHOULD have stopped there.
    ...
    The POLITICIANS made it a big deal by trying to ban it from their controlled districts.
    The Political Pundits made it a big deal by spewing it all over the mass media.
    The opponents made it a big deal by staging protests and got the media's attention.
    The supporters made it a big deal by thinking that going out to buy something for themselves on one day was some sort of activism.
    This dick made it a big deal by posting it to social media.
    ...
    America is really becoming a fucking joke. So bad, that the Polish are now able to make 'American Jokes' about us.
    We are quickly becoming the 'Dumbest', in the 'Dumb and Dumber' crowd.

    I had to Google CFA to see what it was ... then I was puzzled why anyone would spraypoint a CFA Institute, especially when they are driving good ethics in investment managament.

    I had my "Ohhhhhh" moment about 5 minutes later. :fp: :mrgreen:

    I agree with everything Cosmo said.


    My main beef with Chicfila is that their food isn't that good. :lol:

    Zing! Pun intended?

    Back on target, they guy in the drive-thru video is obviously a dick who's pointing his venom in the wrong direction, but does he really deserve to get fired for that? Like Jason P (I think) said, he must have been on thin ice at work already.

    It is a story now though. It's a story to me even just looking at the singular fact that the suicide rate for gay and lesbian teens is higher than average. They get to see thousands of "supporters", many of whom are family members and people they know, send them the message that they are 'less than' heterosexuals. How conservative Christians can maintain this so called moral stance despite this fact boggles my mind. Not What Jesus Would Do.

    He's a self-righteous asshole.

    That poor girl, you can see her becoming visibly upset and yet the asshole presses on. Truth is though, she probably deals with assholes everyday, just not always self-righteous ones.

    As far as him being fired, I guess it's up to the company. I would think he would be given an opportunity to correct his wrong, if he wasn't already in trouble at work. And with the attitude and lack of morals he displayed on the video, as others say, he was probably already in trouble at work.

    Overnight, a Chick-fil-A in Torrance, Calif., was vandalized with the spray-painted message "Tastes like hate" in advance of today's "National Same-Sex Kiss Day."
