    You are right, I saw the video earlier today.He is a POS that treated that poor girl wrong in so many ways.
    She was a trooper and handle it well for being so young.

    He is one person I hope to see standing in the unemployment line a long time.

      I'd love to be a fly on the wall during his job interviews.

    gets what he deserves...
    how do you get away with treating an employee like that? true she is a min wage worker but she is a human being at first and her paycheck could face a middle class or even upeer class family in some developing parts of the world.

    I must admit, 'Rachel' handled herself with decorum and aplomb - even though she may not fully agree with the situation, she maintained the corporate image and made customer service her top priority.

    And THEY want people to believe they are loving, etc... That doesn't do their cause ANY good. And wanting marriage to continue as it has for thousands of years is NOT hateful. And those that want that aren't hate groups. They can STILL get rings and live together, unlike what some claimed. And chikfila DOES hire homosexuals, and will sell them food ALSO.

    HEY, homosexuals say things some others may not like. THEY pay companies that others certainly don't like. Do others harass THEM on masse like this? NOPE!

    I doubt he is heterosexual for several reasons. And don't you love all that great pollution his car put out for his rant?

      That guy is a pompous ass. Funny thing is he filmed it himself to show how cool he was - now he's an unemployment statistic.

        Some don't know about Chik-fil-a, and may think that sign is STUPID! Chik-fil-a has signs around, as a joke, showing cows holding up signs that say things like "eat mor chik'n". The idea being, obviously, that the cows are happy you are eating less beef.

    The guy felt so strongly about corporate actions that he felt morally justified in bullying a low-wage employee with verbal abuse, bellowing to her, 'I don’t know how you live with yourself and work here. I don’t understand it. This is a horrible corporation with horrible values.'

      Exec Who Got Fired For Bullying Chick-Fil-A Worker Explains What Happened That Day -

      Former Vante CFO Adam Smith struck a nerve when he put up a video of himself bullying a worker at the Chick-fil-A drive-thru window.

      There was widespread criticism, and he was promptly fired from his position at Vante for how he acted.

      Now, Smith has taken to YouTube again, posting a nearly eight minute video in which he apologizes and clarifies some questions that have been floating around.

        I cry BS. He is trying to justify his actions and convince people he isn't a "bad guy".
        Well, in my opinion he is a POS,and still deserves what he got. Karma is a bitch.:rolleyes:

            He can work where that crazy guy does. You know, the one that always protests around some military funerals, and homosexual events. THEY would fit together well!

              These are the kind of guys corporations hire and the type of dude that gets into politics, all day and night long.

              These are the leaders, this dope was simply the worst at hiding it.

              I love when people talk about "values", from a homogenized, myopic point of history.

              A truth seeker studies both history written by the victor and the loser to think for themselves.

              This is not news, news worthy nor a news story, just a Jerry Springer style distraction.

              Probably passed another small totalitarian law while we were looking at this slop, get us more and more comfortable and slowly raise our tolerance for up and coming Dictatorship, U.S.A.

              What's the difference between this knome and the chumps that allowed a foreign company to install cameras on freeways and red lights to fleece the populous in the same state?

              I wonder do all the people that used to like to accuse people and bash people of being anti-american commies or pinko-commies have anything in their possession made my "commie" China today?

              6-5 he get's a t.v./cable show/radio show deemed/sold as "controversial".

              What a bunch of saps we are.

              This Smith guy is nothing special of the douches we have in abundance....., he just got camera coverage.

          Yeah, and he is spewing more lies. ALL because someone stated to a publication going to people of the same faith, a common idea. An idea that that faith that has said for THOUSANDS of years. That he believes that only a man and woman should marry if they love one another.

          Even if he said he didn't want homosexuals to cohabitate, it isn't a reason for this treatment. But there was no reason for him to say it. It is problematic to say that. The publication would distance itself from that. So I don't believe he said any such thing.

    That guy, like much of the media, don't even know what the hell they're talking about. Much of what has been reported about the Chik-fil-A owner isn't true according to a radio program I was listening to earlier. He was asked about his personal beliefs regarding marriage in an interview and said his belief is the traditional belief that marriage should be between a man and woman. All the other stuff being attributed to him isn't true, according to this radio show. He doesn't discriminate in hiring or serving the glbt crowd, and hasn't made antigay statements, unless you consider a personal belief in traditional marriage is somehow antigay.

    That's it! This is a guy that has traditional Christian values and lives by them, even shutting down his stores on Sundays because it's the "day of rest" and giving up 1/7th of the income he could have be staying open 7 days a week.

    He's entitled to his personal beliefs. Aren't you getting tired of the lame stream media blowing things way out of proportion to create news?

      WOW, I didn't know ANYONE, except some homosexuals etc..., said he said anything against homosexuals. If he HAD said that, it would probably have NOT been made public, and they would probably AVOID HIM LIKE THE PLAGUE, and abandon his participation. And chik-fil-a has OPENLY said they hire homosexuals, and they will sell to ANYONE.

      It is interesting that homosexuals found out about his statement, since it was in a religious publication. And he was probably ASKED about what he felt marriage was! What should he have said? "I WON'T SAY, I AM TOO SCARED HOW PEOPLE WOULD REACT!"? That would have everyone questioning his Zeal for the faith. And such zeal is kind of ASSUMED when you are interviewed by such people.

      HECK, look at IN-N-OUT! Now THEY are sneaky. I went to them a while before I knew it was considered christian owned. They have bible verses all over the place, and most never notice them! They are in the inner lip on the bottom of the cups. But I never heard about THEM requiring ANYONE that works for them to be christian, and they sell to anyone. But the owners probably feel the SAME way the chik-fil-a owners feel, and they DID say they support chik-fil-a.

      I hear he has also donated money to anti-gay causes.

      If that's true then IMHO he and his business are fair game for the gay community and their allies.

      I'm not disputing the right of the owner of Chik-fil-a to do what ever he wants to do with his money.

        GEE, homosexuals give money to groups that are against things like the churches, ALL THE TIME!

            It's funny that those who argue the most for "freedoms" and "free speech" and "the right to do this or that"....forget those values when someone says something they don't agree with.

            Organized groups of people and agenda driven groups donate to causes that promote their ideas or agendas. Nothing new there. Business owners donate to causes they believe in - nothing new there, either.

            If people are free to say what they think - ALL are free to do that.

                All of this pissing and moaning about who believes what, rights, sexual orientation, etc. has nothing to do with the OP.

                The point of the opening post was only to note that someone had been a world class jerk and got his butt handed back to him. Twice! Once by Rachel's handling of the situation and then by his bosses.

                  He wanted to get his message out. THAT was the goal. We are talking about the validity of the message, how that justifies anything, and whether the target was the right one.

                  That woman is probably exposed to jerks ALL THE TIME. She could work somewhere else. I think she handled it well, but the fact is that if she died there, or gave the guy $1000 bucks, etc.... it would do NOTHING for his cause. Talking to her about this means NOTHING. They are FRANCHISED! Any particular store is not necessarily going to make an impact ANYWAY!

                    Yeah, I said it may be wrong. The rest isn't. Even the video that started this proves some of those things. Heck, chik-fil-as owners are christian and have traditional christian values. They state them. That isn't showing hatred or even denying people any rights. Do I have a right to one of those gold medals? NO! Can I be a mother? NO! Let's face it. Mere existence doesn't entitle you to everything. If some say otherwise, OF COURSE they will be contradicted.

    Personally I am getting tired of the tolerance police who are intolerant of those with a different P.O.V.

      I do. Because I have a sense of humor. You'd think after your little run in with Caliban on Facebook over being the laugh police, you'd have a different response...But in reality, you're just the same as Caliban.

      Let me know how to submit jokes to you so you can tell me if it's OK for me to laugh or not.

      Damn laugh police.

      You hear? That's the trouble with a lot of what has been reported, it's hearsay and not verified, and much of it has been wrong. And what is anti-gay? That "spin" makes it sound like they intentionally go out of their way to persecute gays. Is it that, or is it that they just believe in traditional family? Is that your idea of anti-gay?

      Ain't that the truth. Outside of actual hate groups like the KKK, the most intolerent groups around seem to be those who go around pointing out the supposed intolerence of others.

      News flash: Having a difference of opinion or values isn't automatically intolerence or hate or even anti-whatever.

        Yea, I hear - just like you heard.

        You forgot to mention...


        I also said that IF it's true... ( that Mr. CFA has been donating to anti-gay outfits )


        ... then IMHO he and his business are fair game for gays and their allies.


        What Do I Think Of Gay Marriage??


        I believe in civil unions for gays that would give them all the rights and privileges of a married couple but I'm not in favor of legally calling it marriage.


        For many gays the above statement would make me anti-gay.


        I also said that the owner of chick-fil-a has every right to give money to whomever he pleases.



        Here's an article I found about where mr. chick-fil-a has been donating some of his funds.


        From the article...

        Chick-fil-A gave $2 million to seven anti-gay groups in 2010, the most recent year for which figures are available according to Equality Matters analysis of it's charitable giving.

        also...

        Among Chick-fil-A's payments was $1,000 to Exodus, a group that until recently claimed it can "cure" people of homosexuality and it also gave $1,000 to none other than the Family Research Council.


        Here's How Much Money Chick-fil-A Gives To Alleged Anti-Gay Groups - Business Insider


        Your newsflash to me:

        Having a difference of opinion or values isn't automatically intolerence or hate or even anti-whatever.


        My newsflash to you:

        The newsflash isn't news to me.

          All this talk of Chik-fil-A made me research it. My research has resulted in making me hungry for a Chik-fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwich, but I don't think there are any Chik-Fils in Vancouver, BC.

          The Baker Family from Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada has their first ever taste of Chick-fil-A on a recent Florida Vacation. The family went to the Lake Brandon Village location and took Facebook recommendations of what to eat! Fans recommended the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Number 1 combo with sweet tea and more and all were tested and tried and APPROVED, the Baker Family LOVES Chick-fil-A! This is the best quick-service restaurant they have had and they would like one brought to Alberta!! Favorite sauce was a tie between Polynesian and Chick-fil-A Sauce. The family would like to put in a request for a Chick-fil-A in Canada!

            There's a Chick-Fil-A across the highway from me and the sandwiches are quite tasty but the waffle fries suck IMHO.

    Dennis,

    I would say, but it might be deemed "religious". Let's just say that some homosexuals have certain desires, and they feel that anyone that doesn't want society to fully agree with them is a HATE GROUP! Of course the ones that say that are simply a portion of those that are homosexual, but they are VERY vocal. Actually, such views are unconstitutional since they DEMAND uprooting the 1st amendment. OHICSM!

    The amendments don't give citizens rights. The preamble says those already exist. The amendments FORBID taking those rights away. The very THOUGHT of creating the USA was against the law! And religion was ALSO restricted. So they KNEW that the US would one day have this sort of problem. Maybe that is why it was the FIRST amendment, because they were braking the SAME laws to even write the constitution, and LIVED religion.

    So the first amendment is setup to protect undesired speech, and religions. It also forbids giving a particular religion preference.

    The part I find amusing about this whole thing is that the guy has been donating to the cause for years. The political police could have piled on him years ago. But they decide to wait until he answers a question in public? And then they try to act like it's not a freedom of speech issue?

    People are not that stupid. If it were about his donations, then that argument could have been made many years ago. This is about a suppression of speech, and keeping people from realizing that their "old-fashioned" viewpoint may still be in the majority.
