Oh, BS...They would not have dared fire the guy if he wasnt a Caucasian.

cool story bro.
Was he fired for poor job performance or being a dick
With a quick search I found that Florida is an "at will" state. I didn't watch the video, I just read the transcript, but it sounds like the insurance company was within their rights to let him go. I don't agree with mandatory face masks, but do believe that stores have a right to set policy within their stores. I continue to distance myself from others because of Mommy Dearest's age/health, but don't believe everyone should share my burden.
What bothers me most about this article is the use of the pronoun "their" when the insurance company should have used "his" instead, in their press release. I wouldn't use "their" company for my insurance needs.
And yes, I'm ****ing tired to death of this government mandated bullshit...

But that doesnt exempt the employer from being sued for wrongful termination. IMO, this is another case of the video shows so little that the only reason people are offended is because they think they should be. There is not any ”before” video of the “victim”, how do you know they weren’t a bigger ass? Why doesnt he have a “right” to tell them to turn off their F’ing phone? Does a fellow shopper have a “right” to enforce store policy?
IMO, this is more about the perpetually offended continuing to be offended and pampered to. What happens when its your turn because you offend someone? Will you be thrilled that you got fired over it?

Doesn't really matter, they can fire him if they don't like that he gained weight, stinks up the bathroom or for no reason at all.
Exactly. Funny how so many people don’t understand that.

I don't think anyone would be thrilled over being fired.
He could have ignored them, calmly said bite me and kept going etc.
The only reason you care is what side of the argument he is on. If he was flipping his crap about someone not wearing a mask you would laugh at it. The standards should be the same, professionals shouldn't flip thier crap like a minimum wage McDonalds worker would.

Correct...because you and others automatically assume you know the whole story and that the victim did nothing. Armchair quarterbacking at its finest.

I don't assume to know the entire story, no matter what was said before that he was still an ass. Someone else being a turd doesn't make it ok for you to be a turd.
Never once did I say I agreed. Florida is an "at will" state. My feelings have nothing to do with it. If you, or he disagree, work to change the law. I have no dog in this fight, I was just stating facts.
I won't be fired over a facemask, or any other reason for that matter. That's what happens when you're a close personal friend of the boss. I also set my own hours, schedule, and salary.
Oops, there he is now! Gotta run!
Don't worry about it. If @Gilligan hasn't been fired yet, you're good.And then there is this guy who lost his insurance job because he lost his chit in Costco. I’m sure I will be fired when my boss discovers what I am posting here about masks....

"He absolutely does not represent our values and no longer works at our agency," the CEO of Ted Todd Insurance said Tuesday.apple.news
That wouldn't help you if you worked here.

Yes. If there are 50,000,000 who believe your statement, then yes. You have reached a valid conclusion.

I could not agree more. It is all bull to begin with and after 5 mths stuck inside and wearing a mask, this morning in Giant I was harassed by an employee at self checkout to cover my nose. 3 times she kept tellinin me. I would pull it out to take a breath because I'm copd. Well I call that harassment and that's where I draw the line on wearing masks that have never been proven or disproven as being effective. This is America, lets start acting like it and protest face masks.!!!!
