[@butterflyinflight85]

I don't understand his logic. Why go to a drive thru and yell at an employee of a company? They're not the ones that make the policy's or donate to causes. All most employees care about is going to work to get a pay check to pay their bills.

[@butterflyinflight85]

We'll have to agree to disagree. He wasn't speaking out against hate. He was putting hate out into the world. The clerk isn't the one making the rules and deciding how the company donates money. She's there to do her job and bring home a pay check. That's it. He had no reason to do what he did. He wanted to speak out about hate but all he did was put more hate out there. FYI it's not just republicans that are upset about what he did. Do I think it should still follow him this long? Not really. However I also don't think someone who had that kind of a position should have done what he did. He had the resources to handle it completely difference and maybe had he done something different he wouldn't have lost his job and could have affected real change. Freedom of Speech doesn't actually cover Hate Speech. Also something to consider is that when he was hired I bet you he signed something that stated he wouldn't do something that would turn around and look bad for the company. Which this did.

[@butterflyinflight85]

You should re-read what I said. I never said that this should still be following him. I still think it was absolutely the right thing for him to loose his job tho. He wasn't using his head. When your in a position like CFO you not only represent yourself but you represent the company you work for. Which means thinking before you do stuff like this. He didn't and he suffered the consequences. Now does that mean that he should still have an issue finding a job? Maybe, maybe not. We don't know what kind of jobs he's applying for. If all he's interested in is these high-powered jobs then I'm not surprised he hasn't found work yet. Plenty of people have bigger mistakes follow them threw their life. Some peoples mistakes even cost them their lives. In a town just 30 miles from where I live a guy just 21 yrs old was killed in a car accident because he rode with someone who was too drunk to be behind the wheel. Should that one mistake have cost him the chance at life? No. That's just the way it is tho. Whether you or this man feels like it should still be following him the fact is that it is. He will eventually be able to overcome it but until his own drive pushes him to do just that he's going to be stuck. However in the end it was probably a good thing. He actually gets to see his kids grow up. He gets to spend time with them. Had he not lost his job there's a good chance he wouldn't get to do that.

[@reidcircuits826]

manputty4u There are laws for freedom of speech. what you talking about?

[@butterflyinflight85]

Freedom of Speech doesn't protect someone from loosing their job or having other consequences. It just means that someone has the right to say what they want. That doesn't mean it's always a smart decision to do it or that they won't have to deal with fall out.

[@MissHolliday3110]

David Reid freedom of speech wasn't at issue here. What he did was considered harassment and that's not protected by law. Not to mention he made six figures and the employee made minimum wage. ...what kind of guy does that? be a man and talk to the CEO of the company you have an issue with.

@William Dionicio well it's according the situation, when I was in highschool I worked at a Burger King, and Even though I went and did the owner's landscaping and were friends I never had a clue about his politics. Every situation is different , I guess it's got a lot to do with age and Everything .

[@viking8796]

@William Dionicio I get where you're coming from, but that's just not the way it is. People on the lower rungs of a company don't represent the politics of the companies that hire them, they're just there to get paid. I'm pretty sure that most people that work at chik fil a probably side with the lgbtq community (a lot of young, college-aged people). It might be the owner's views on the front pages, but rank and file don't necessarily believe those things.

[@viking8796]

@William Dionicio "A simple example would be, at McDonald’s your employer demands that you smile and be kind, why? Because you are a representative of the company. Therefore wherever you choose to work, you choose to represent." We're talking about different things. You're talking of employees representing the company's interests and general motifs, not necessarily the politics. An example of employees representing a company's politics would be if chik fil a required all their employees to, as a hypothetical example, refuse service to lgbtq because of established religious beliefs, and then the employees went ahead and enforced that policy by refusing service to those people. As an employee of any business entity, you represent that business' image insofar as customer service and general rules of societal politeness go, but politics are a whole different deal. You can work in a job and still retain your own personal political beliefs. It's too much of a blanket statement to say that if you work somewhere you automatically assume their political views as well.

[@vickieclark5931]

@William Dionicio Not really. People don't work for a company cause they believe in the politics of it. They work there for the pay and benefits. Although I don't agree with chick-fil-a being bigots, if I needed a job and they had an opening, I'd take it in a heartbeat. You'd be surprised how many of the employees may not have a issue with people's sexuality. Some may even be gay themselves without letting the owners know. They are there for the pay and that's it.

b list Hating a hater isnt as bad as hating someone for existing, and it never will be. I dont know why this simple concept is so hard to understand. If someone, a complete stranger, told you they hated you and that you dont deserve rights and all that crap are you wrong for hating them back? Absolutely not. Stfu

*K A R M A* Well, it looked like a single-floor, humble home-certainly not middle class. And yeah, if you have a wife and four kids, $90 is around (or maybe less than) what you’d get from food stamps. He’s poor, brother.

For those not from Portland, the grocery store this segment shows him shopping in is called Green Zebra. It's as pricey as Whole Foods, like $6 for a jar of tomato sauce expensive. So those food stamps would go a lot further if he wasn't spending them in yuppie high end food stores 🙄

[@Shendue]

Probably staged. The filming studio chose the place after settling with some place that allowed them to film.

[@noraxbeth]

Wow that is very critical and shows a lack of knowledge of what goes into producing news segments. I doubt he even picked the store. The producers called stores and set it up to get clearance on filming and it probably had to do with what store had the best lighting in their area that they could get the shot of the register from. This dude is clearly broke, the picture of the bridge behind his kids is an IKEA one, and the dude is on unemployment and food stamps and I hope someone in his area reached out after this clip to hire him. It is so so so easy to be critical of how people who are broke spend their money but if they are able to buy any sense of luxury with the small amount of what would be grocery money that food stamps replace then good for them. Being poor SUCKS and this guy clearly learned a huge lesson in humility and desperation. He didn’t pick the stupid grocery store guys.
