No, sorry, he is no gentleman; just a weenie that goes through the drive-thru to voice his opinion, so then he can speed off after spewing his "hate".

The owner brought nothing on himself; if anything, he innocently brought a huge increase in his business because he voiced his opinion, which is legal in America. That was bullying, plain and simple, because he was talking to the wrong person, who has no power to change anything. He is a weenie because, otherwise, he would have taken his "beef" to the big guys. Why didn't he just go protest with those students he kept saying were going to protest! He failed, and screwed up his life; was it worth it?

Tucson exec loses job over anti-Chick-fil-A rant in drive-thru (http://azstarnet.com/news/local/article_f8cefeec-dcf5-11e1-8b88-001a4bcf887a.html#.UBsON4EQoBM.twitter)


Roger Vogel, Chairman, President and CEO of Vante, said the decision for Smith to step down was mutual. Vogel said he was “shocked” by the video, which he first discovered when people emailed him a link.

“We obviously found it very disturbing,” Vogel said. “We respect everybody’s ability to share their opinions in the public square and we have a very diverse workforce with a diverse set of opinions. We expect employees to behave in a professional manner that’s commensurate with their positions, and discuss their opinions in a civil fashion. ... We thought what he did was inappropriate.”

Vogel said the company has no stance on the gay marriage issue but has always hade a “good relationship” with Chick-fil-A. He said the company will consider contacting the employee Smith ambushed in an attempt to mend fences.

This is his new hero, and hope someday to be as big a man as this guy was. You will never convince him otherwise.

Just another intolerant azzhole that expects everyone to set their morals and values aside to accept his, but does not in any way shape or form think he should be half as tolerant of others..

Generally, bullies are scared of confrontation with anyone but their victim. It appears that he lacked the courage to go inside and do this because others in the crowd would have confronted him over it.

I doubt he would have gotten beaten or anything, but it is very likely that others would have interceded. When confronted, he most likely would have run away like the coward he appears to be.

The most that would have happened is that the people behind him would have asked that he move on and let the line start flowing again.

The people there supporting free speech should be ok with that, right?

Wait, are you trying to say that what the Founding Fathers meant by "free speech" was the right to browbeat and harass random citizens to further their own political agenda?

I am pretty sure they had *******s back then too.

The most that would have happened is that the people behind him would have asked that he move on and let the line start flowing again.
at that point, the outcome would have been totally up to him.
He would have been escorted out by more than one person if he had been in the Waldorf store. I'd have had a couple of CCSO offficers there within minutes to help. Of course a little exaggeration of the facts would get them there quicker...
That girl should be the poster child for Chick-Fil-A, the way she remained polite and professional - "Have a nice day, sir. Thank you for stopping by." Did you notice the girl next to her watching the show and trying not to crack up laughing?
:lol:
She did her job perfectly! I would have said: Sir, is that all you want to order? Please pull up to the window then shut him off w/o another word. Idiots like him usually stop when their audience is gone.

Im not too sure that the main thing the founding fathers were trying to do with the free speech thing, was to make sure the citizens had the right to speak out against the government.
When you are trying to figure out what they were trying to protect against, you have to look at where they came from. And, at the time, speaking publicly against the government would have been reason for them to be arrested.

Im not totally sold on the theory that it gives the right to harrass people in the street, or as in this case, in the window of a drive through.
The girl should sue him for
1) posting her on video without her consent. What if she was trying to keep some crazy ex from finding her or something?
2) causing her mental distress that could prevent her from working that window in the future.
3) being an ass hole.

fairly certain a jury would award her big bucks based on any of the above, mostly on the posting her video without consent.

It means that the ammendment is writen the way it is, and I don't see any exceptions to the freedom of speech clause. Also, historically the courts have held that offensive speech is protected.

Yes, liberals can harass and bully someone in order to further their political agenda.

no, conservatives have to hold their thoughts becuase if they say what they are thinking, they are hateful fear mongering agenda driven homophobes and the only recourse is to take them to court and sue them to teach them a lesson.

Define bully and harrass.


Although the ass-hat in question is most assuredly guilty of harrassing the girl at the window, I'd be hard pressed to say there was any "bullying" going on, because to me bullying implies physical intimidation - and Master Adam Smith is entirely too twerpish so as to be incapable of bullying any adult human. In a street fight my money is on Cashier Rachael, without even thinking about it.

That said, there is no law against douchebaggery, nor should their be.

Bullying, however, is another story.






And having that being said, I don't think that anyone should ever be immune or exempt to the results of their excercise of free speech. For instance, I do not agree with Cathy's stance on Gay Marriage, but I'm all about his freedom to say it, act on it, etc. I'm also in favor of the hordes of left-wing robots exercising their rights to not Eet Moar Chikin and/or making out with each other in Chick-Fil-A parking lots or whatever their retaliation protest is all about today.


So, I'm in favor of Adam Smith exercising his right to voice his opinion to Rachael - and had she exercised her freedom to tell Smith to take a flying #### at a rolling doughnut I would have cheered her for that.

And I'm TOTALLY in favor of Vante exercising their right to jettison waste material.





Out of all those people - the only one who has earned my respect is Cashier Rachael because she exercised her right to be a Class Act in the face of impotent twerpitude.





And maybe Vante for requiring higher standards from their officers.

.

I would say bullying was close if not there in this case.

If I had been at the window, I would have put up with it for a bit, just like she did, but when he kept on, and became personal as to how I could live with myself working there, I would have in no uncertain terms told him what I thought.
Chances are I would have been fired.
So in this case, he went beyond expressing his opinion and in my opinion he got to a point that he was looking for her to lose her composure.
so yes, he was bullying.

Toxick
08-03-2012, 02:10 PM
so yes, he was bullying.

I don't know, like I said, to me bullying implies much more aggressive behavior than harrassment.

I'm even using the term harrassment loosely. Because use of the word harrassment implies authority over the harrassee, like when a cop harrasses someone, or a boss harrasses one of their employees. Obviously these behaviors are, and should be, verboten.

I'd say that what Smith was doing was "hassling" her or even just "giving her a hard time".



IMO what he was doing shouldn't be forbidden by law, even if it certifies him as a Grade-A nimrod, and warrants a fat-lip.

He was polite? You have a deranged sense of what’s polite. If he had a complaint about what Chick Fil-A was doing he should have, at minimum, talked to management. Going after the poor window clerk was really brave and sent such a resounding message. :rolleyes:

The guy was a coward. He chose to go through the drive-thru so he wouldn’t have to face the crowd inside. He knows exactly what would have happened if he had done this inside the place.


From the mentality here on this board I'm sure some of you have worked in food service before,this guy was down right polite compared to some of the general public.

Exclusive: TheBlaze Interviews the Guy Fired for Berating a Chick-fil-A Employee (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/exclusive-theblaze-interviews-the-guy-fired-for-berating-a-chick-fil-a-protester-employee/)


Editor’s note: This is a smaller version of a larger story. Stay tuned for the complete version Friday afternoon that will include more from Adam Smith.

Should someone be fired from their job and threatened with violence, torture, even death because they have an opinion different than yours? Of course not. And yet, that is what Adam M. Smith of Arizona says happened to him.

Adam Smith’s life has been turned upside-down in the 36 hours that followed his posting the video of his protest at Chick-fil-A, which involved letting a young, female employee at the drive-thru know what he thinks about the company. (You can watch the video here.)

We had an exclusive conversation with Smith where he shared his side of the story. Here’s a taste of what he said (we’ll be releasing more later):


He has lost his job as Chief Financial Officer at Vante. (Smith claims that he was not given a chance to really explain himself before being terminated)

His family has been threatened with violence and death. (At one point, his email account was getting 3 messages a minute, mostly vulgar and threatening)

Because his home address was made public, he cannot live in his house. (And Mr. Smith is a married father of four – two of his children are adopted, special needs kids.)
Smith said that his original intent was to follow guidelines laid out in an online video, which included quoting a scripture.

glh, i agree, that's why i posted not sure of the laws out there. Thought it may have gone back to the old wiretapping laws, where even LEO's needed a
legal paper to record voice. Definitely remember it being a big no no almost anywhere for someone to record a voice conversation without mutual consent.

I think this whole thing is silly. All over an opinion. Everyone is entitled to one, even the jerk. But really, he came across as really bad.

Agree RR 100%. IMHO the owner of the co. stated his own personal beliefs and that should not have been construed at all in any way shape or form as a company policy of discrimination.

Not cool.
He made a bad choice, yes. His family had nothing to do with it. And you can't hold children accountable for what you think they will grow into. That's absolutely ####ing ridiculous.
Uh ok. No liberal kids ever came from liberal parents...:duh: Check on them in 15 years and see.

It doesn't matter. They haven't done anything yet, so holding them accountable for what they will be - or may be - is utterly unreasonable.


And for the record, I personally know many many individuals who hold disparate views from their parents politically, religiously, philosophically. I, myself, have vastly different views on many subject from my parents, including politics.

Does this guy even have a wife and kids, or is this purely hypothetical? I find it hard to believe some woman would marry and procreate with this douchenozzle, figured him for a Brony.

The guy is a sheep. He watches some young thing post a YouTube telling people to get in line, ask for free water, quote some unfamiliar Biblical verse and post it on YouTube. The guy is supposedly a college professor and he is slathering over some YouTube virgin. Sounds alot like Lolita if you ask me.

Roger Vogel, Chairman, President and CEO of Vante, said the decision for Smith to step down was mutual. Vogel said he was “shocked” by the video, which he first discovered when people emailed him a link.

“We obviously found it very disturbing,” Vogel said. “We respect everybody’s ability to share their opinions in the public square and we have a very diverse workforce with a diverse set of opinions. We expect employees to behave in a professional manner that’s commensurate with their positions, and discuss their opinions in a civil fashion. ... We thought what he did was inappropriate.”

Vogel said the company has no stance on the gay marriage issue but has always hade a “good relationship” with Chick-fil-A. He said the company will consider contacting the employee Smith ambushed in an attempt to mend fences.

We are not, but keep in mind, he as a parent and spouse, has a responsibility to be aware of the repercussions his actions might have on his kids and wife. He, not society, is responsible for what he did. Had he acted in an honorable manner, none of this would have happened. Now, do I think sending him hateful messages is the right thing to do? No. But it's expected when you act like a Rushmore sized ass and then post it, especially when you boast how good being that big an ass made you feel.

Has anyone seen the supposed evil emails? WE always hear about such, but rarely are they produced.

Over the course of the last 3 decades or so, I have often refrained from doing or saying any number of doucebag-like things because of 2 simple things: my family, and my obligation to them.

There are times, if not for those 2 things, that events may well have devolved into a free-fire situation.

Vante of Tucson, AZ Regrets Actions of Former CFO

Employee Has Left the Company

TUCSON, AZ--(Marketwire - Aug 2, 2012) - The following is a statement from Vante:

Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.

The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.

We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith's actions against Vante and its employees.

Here is what the line looked like at the CFA on Wed. that my five friends and I went to. Service was very fast considering they had set up special amusement park like ropes. There must have been about 100 people in line and the guy at the counter told me it has been that way all morning.

Chick-Fil-A gives money - lots of money - to Exodus International and the American Family Association, both of which are publicly against the institution of gay marriage.

Which means they are perceived by gay and lesbian supporters to be hate groups.

You sound like "thatguy" now. Did I say to punish the kids right now? :duh: I said HE deserves whatever happens to him and his wife. Of course there's a chance the kids won't grow up to be libs but it's a small one for sure. Maybe they will learn from their father's mistake and become conservatives, who knows?
