Amid all the bad news lately, finally a heart warming story. Thanks.

Go Woke; Go Broke!

I'm a sucker for a "Feel Good" story like this! Ha Ha!

"This was such a gift that happened to me; this thrashing, this public shaming, this reputation dissolution that happened was the best thing I needed because I needed that humbleness, I needed to be humbled and nothing was going to humble me like that."

Does Mr. Smith ever say, "I was wrong." Did Mr. Smith ever ask the victims of his diatribes for forgiveness? NO! Until he comes to Christ, Mr. Adams will continue to be the center of his life and that's the problem. True humility is confessing, I'm s flawed human being who cannot save myself. I need a Savior. I need Jesus.

“Sounds like Mike Lindell and most of Trump’s supporters.”

Yeah, most of Trump supporters are gay supporters.

You are an idiot.

“Nowadays no way would he be fired. Promoted more likely, to chief DIE officer. That’s how fast things have deteriorated since then.”

Yep, and probably at Chick-fil-A, given how far it has sunk.

Most of them have lost everything they had.

One of my fire rookie school instructors won one of the early Texas lotteries. His financial advisor said you now have a big target on your back for some money grubbing scam artist and their attorney who makes up some story. You need to find a new career.

“””When I was met with some of the things [the Chick-fil-A employee] said ... she disagreed with me, she really liked her company, then it became a fight. And then it became back to what I was taught, which is ‘Hey, I’m better than you, I’m smarter than you, I’m on the right side.’ And then it became really me versus her,” says Smith of his interaction at the restaurant. “”

First rule of protest: do not engage with a poor, low-level clerk who is being nice to a totally hostile a......e.

If this jerk thought this was a “fight” he received a much needed reality check as to what his smarts and self-righteousness really says about him.

Thus far, he hasn’t gotten the message.

What if I do a search for “Trump colluded with Russia to win the election” or “Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation”? How many mainstream media stories would I find writing the same thing as if both were true? I still don’t believe this story. Link to the original video and let’s see it with our own two eyes.

That might well be because ChicFE was quite Christian and conservative >5 years ago. Since the family sold out it has gone totally woke and fully supports all of the things the LuggButt community endorses. Might as well be the NBA or Disney.

Why anyone would do business with ChicFilE who is not on their side (i.e., pro-tranny, pedo) is beyond me.

Ah. Okay. Never mind my last post. I think the wording of your post hit people the wrong way as it did for me.

I remember this. Guy was a complete jerk...the employee was a complete professional.
And, the guy got exactly what he deserved. I will also say, his ego is still his main problem. When he says “I have come to a place where I don’t need other people’s approval anymore.”, it’s obvious he still wants to be in control and make himself look like a “winner”.

A winner...he will never be.

Should be more specific. There are tens of millions of Trump supporters who have not been touched by all that.

At least, not yet.

If you have to move your family to Costa Rica because no American firm will employ you, that’s the definition of Loser.

I mean…he couldn’t even get a job with Antifa or the DNC or any other leftist organization?
