Doesn't matter, he was off the job and his performance has nothing to do with Chick Filet. If he wants to be an arse that's his pejorative but to lose his job over this, is nothing short of politics. Not saying he was in the right, because I myself have dealt with it on my end, but for someone to get him fired, it's just wrong.
The trouble is he identified himself and his company in the video which he then put on the internet. Had he not drug his company into this mess by name, he wouldn't have been fired.

Spare me, like none of you have ever been impatient in a long line before. Yeah right.
Guy has probably never worked in customer service, which clearly shows from his attitude. I never heard the guy once, ever mention his company's name. Which does not warrant him to just get fired the next day for his action.
If I was him, I would sue the company for wrongful termination.
Was he stupid, sure. We're all stupid at one point in our lives.
Your kidding me, right?
It doesnt matter a lick if he mentioned his company name. He posted a video of himself harassing a minimum wage employee. Anyone could recognize him from this video and, right or wrong, hold it against his company. If his employer felt they might lose business or respect due to his actions, they are perfectly justified in firing him.
I think your a bit out of touch with the realities of todays workplace.

I saw the video. The guy acted rude and condescending. That kid working the drive through has nothing to do with what was said by the Chick-Fil-A CEO. Employers ought to play this video for employees on the art of customer service. She did not get flustered or angered by his statements, but carried out her duties in a peaceful and respectful manner. The guy wanted to be a part of the spectacle which has become thiis Chick-Fil-A soap opera, and it turns out he became the spectacle.
Welcome to the unemployment community! Oh yeah, since his divisive antic is being played all over network television, and on the internet. Chances are potential future employers are going to have watched his video and know who this guy is. He should probably say good bye to upper level management, and any executive positions. Nobody is going to want to hire a person to upper echelons of their company if they can be regarded as a loose cannon. He brought negative publicity to his company, and that affects the bottom line. What he did is no different than the gaffs made by the CEO of Chick-Fil-A. As the saying goes, "Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones."

Ahh, so a gay false flag operation. I believe that could be possible.

LOL. Valid point, but also I would not out that "anonymous" quotes...you have no way of knowing if they are true or not. The "people coming up to the counter and saying that they like the company because the company hates gays" sounds a bit contrived to me.

You only have to ask one question. Would you want this guy working for your company?
Myself, I'd hire him to sweep the docks.
But he'll probably find a job with some group like MoveOn.org or some such. They welcome people like him there.

That young lady did a remarkable job. The franchise owners should definitely considered promoting her to a management position. All I can say is that her display of professionalism and respect for the customer is what should be taught to all employees when confronted with a similar situation. Slam dunk!
The guy in the car deserves the punishment he received, and a company has every right to discipline their executives when they are responsible for bringing negative publicity to the company. He is not a lowly peon, but the CFO. Therefore, he should know better than to act like that in public. A lower level employee might have been called into the office and counseled, but this guy given such high stature within the company deserved immediate dismissal.edit on 3-8-2012 by Jakes51 because: (no reason given)

I'm not sure they took down their server. It's been up and down since yesterday which probably means they are having capacity problems. Which, depending on how they use the website could mean a financial impact for them.
