Mr. Adam
Smith decided that he would film his episode of his experience ordering a free
glass of water from a CHICK-FIL-A in Tucson, Arizona. He had it all planned out how he would film
his adventure to show one of two things. Either the disgusting people who would
work for such a “hateful” company OR his “bravado” in contributing to the cause
of declaring no one else but “his kind” should have Free Speech! He failed on
both accounts! He starts his video while waiting in the drive-thru line
declaring all the support he HOPES are in groups standing around him and how he
might join them. Finally, after complaining about waiting in such a long time,
Mr. Smith starts his Liberal hate laced lecture to a young CFA employee named
Rachel! After a few kind replies for the well mannered young lady, Mr. Smith goes
for the “gusto” in his rage…. “I don’t know how you live with yourself and work
here… I don’t understand it!” When the young window clerk thanks him for
getting his “FREE WATER,” she wishes him to “have a really nice day!” Rather than my quoting this LOSER, watch the
video to see just “who” is the real hater?



M
r. Smith
was the CFO/Corporate Treasure of a Company named, VANTE! When he went into
work this morning, he found his desk was cleared of all his personal belongings
and the CEO of the company handing him a “pink slip” telling him to “get the
hell out!” Later, VANTE came out with this statement:



~”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.”



So, what say
you Soda Head subscriber? Should Mr.
Smith sue the VANTE Corporation for Freedom of Speech rights violations? Or, should he simply be wondering what
company would desire his services in the future?

    No freedom of speech here. A verbal attack on a bottom rank employee is nothing but bullying. She was a captive audience who could not defend herself because she was on the job.

    Gutless Coward which goes without saying because he was a Liberal.

    To start with it was harassment, also he stated he has (no gay in him), I think he's in denial. Since he's obviously is a big Ass they probably hated him at work anyway.

    What an idiot, coward and a jerk, although whether his company had a right to fire him or not based only on that vid is questionable, on one hand as an employer I know how an employee can be the face of your company but on the other hand where do we draw the line on what a company can or cant tell us we can do when we are off the clock.

    If he had specifically stated who he worked for then there would be no problem, fire him without question, but he didnt which is where the dilemma comes in.

    He was an OFFICER of the company! There are agreements that are signed that any officer will abide by, depending on the "will of the company." OS

    Very possible but that still doesnt change the dilemma, exactly how much control should any company have of its employees behavior when they are off the clock.

    I understand what you are saying, but most employees don't video tapes themselves acting a fool, he was trying for his 15 minutes of fame as they say. Them to harass some young woman who is making extra money for school or possibly a young mother make ends meet makes Smittyboy a Total ASS

    I agree but more often than not lately in this country one incident is used to decide the behavior of the masses from then on. Even though this guy was a total ASS, the actions of his company can affect people who would never even dream of acting like such a jerk in the future. Its a very slippery slope we are walking on.

    I really don't see why he was fired for this. He wasn't overwhelmingly rude, nor did he call the cashier any vulgar names or anything. He just expressed his opinion, albeit to the wrong person, but so?

    He PLANNED his attack, delievered it and posted on You Tube as one of his delights, AGAINST company wishes! A officer of a company has much greater responsibilities for his actions that does a hourly employee.

    okay, whatever you say. An officer of a company should never be able to creatively express his opinion.

    NO.... he can't! You must not understand public perception to any business and how it affects the business?

    Well now that guy is a complete and total jerk! I bet he's a liberal too. He goes to get his free cup of water that he's sooooooo proud of and then he proceeds to slam the folks that's giving him the free water! I'm tickled he got fired for being the low life prick that he is. He may have a good case for a law suit but I'm happy he got fired for that. And I'm sure he just made all those employee's days when he came in and spouted all his hate too. I'm sure they talked all day about the whack job that came in and spewed hate towards their company. My hat is off to miss Rachel too for "her" professionalism towards that guy too.

    If he was my employee I would fire him as well.....such behavior does not represent the company and for that reason is all a company needs to fire him.

    This man took it upon himself to tried to insult this company/employee for doing her job, she showed pure class and represented her company well!

    Its ok for liberals to want others to be accepting of their views, but it is not OK for liberals to be accepting of other views?

    Once again liberals trying to shove and push their opinions onto others, glad his company pushed back!

    the right to free speech is to protect you from GOVERNMENT censorship... your employer can usually fire you at will (for no reason at all) unless you have a contract with them.

    I don't agree with what he did, and i don't necessarily agree with what his employer did.... but it did show incredibly poor judgement on his part, so if I were running Vante, i might have done the same thing.

    "The right of free speech is to protect you from Government censorship!" Exactly.... that's why the mayors of Chicago, San Francisco, Boston and Washington D.C. should be fired for their violations against Mr. Cathy's speech! :

    they did not censure him... he can stil be as right wing as he wants to be on gay marriage.

    but he should not be able to discriminate based on religion or sexual orientation in his hiring and franchise decisions and expect there to be no impact on where he can do business.
