Adam Smith, the man who videotaped himself getting free water at a Chick-Fil-A drive-thru just to berate the young woman as been fired.
Smith in his video said he was happy to feel "purposeful" in condemning the Chick-Fil-A employee over CEO Dan Cathy's same-sex-marriage remarks. The video went viral and citizen journalists tracked him down online and grabbed copies of his resume. His employer, Vante, released this statement a bit ago:
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.

bwahaha....fantastic. ‘Bout damn time these leftists assholes start atoning for their actions.... Absolutely love it.
Me too...it’s nice to feel good once in a while!
Queer as a football bat. Just my $0.02.
I believe it was the owner of CFA who made those remarks. Tough to fire him.
Chick-fil-A serves chicken. This guy needs to find a place that serves healthy portions of crow.
The irony is that I have read for days online about how (not here obviously) that A CEO REPRESENTS THE COMPANY’S VALUES AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.
Well, guess what Adam Smith, you little HATEfilled snot, you learned that the hard way that it goes BOTH WAYS.
I guess he is looking to any LGBT organization for a job. I do not know who, as even the haters of Chick Fil A,will have a hard time forgetting how he treated that cashier.
He was in a public place. The only grounds I can think of are appropriation.
Another useful idiot who felt so empowered by Obozo’s presence that it destroyed them.
Obozo serves the Father-of-Lies, some of his followers know that, others do not. Yet
Don’t worry: some good lefty company will hire him somewhere.
Think about that while you’re job hunting. :P
I commend the manner in which the young lady conducted herself.
Many people would have been tempted to go out the window and pummel that snot’s face after about twenty seconds of his sissy diatribe.
That's a fact.
Well, now he’s an unemployed NAZI.
Mr. Smith initiated the confrontation.
Mr. Smith recorded the confrontation.
Mr. Smith posted the recording on YouTube.
Mr. Smith screwed himself.
Unfortunately, four young children now have an unemployed father.
LOL!
I kind of felt wrong about this at first. It said that people looked up his employer, so the guy wasn’t specifically advertising it.
I’ve always feared that, despite my meticulous attention to avoiding ANY mention of what I do or where I work, or discussing anything about my job, someone who doesn’t like something I write will dig into my personal information, and contact my employer, and get me fired.
But he was an officer with the company — that is a special relationship, and carries extra responsibility.
Yep, very well handled by window clerk. Bet she is a very sweet lady. Did not deserve this treatment from a total jerk.
