His first protest ever cost him his career, reputation and sense of self; Adam Smith went from being a CFO to being on food stamps after protesting at a Chick-fil-A (now a mindfulness coach in Costa Rica)

I KNOW you are not a troll, bray.

But can you please flesh out the details of what you just said?

[lepton]

So he went into this, as a CFO, not understanding that Dan Cathy is not chick-fa-let, and the worker at the drive through is nether Chick-fa-let, nor Dan Cathy? So much moron.

I am curious - but will not waste my time on this guy - if there is any news or other evidence to back up this guy’s story, or is all of it, or most of it - as to what happened to him - just his unverified claims.

I remember this clown and his video from years back.

I remember feeling so bad for the girl at the drive through window as she endured his pompous BS event though she had nothing to do with his rub against Chik Filet.

I remember seeing this video, and then bringing my family there to Chik Filet that same day, to order a big fat dinner for us. And I rarely get fast food. But we did that day.

After driving home, Smith uploaded the video to YouTube.

Correct. The young employee could not change company policy either way, so a rant at her was useless.

He, as a CFO, could have written a letter to the Chick-fil-a boss, or made a public statement. But he berated someone who had no power.

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

Sounds like Smif got a big old can of whoopass poured on him just like President Trump has done to his primary opponents.

[MNJohnnie]

Well they need to stop lying

He wasn’t “protesting” he was filming himself being an obnoxious bully to kids working at a Chic Fil A.

[Wuli]

Still - the only reports, even in this report, about the man’s termination from his job come from the man himself, no one else.

[MNJohnnie]

Exactly clown bully got exactly what his actions warranted

He filmed himself being a bombastic infantile Karen and got the Karen reward for his infantile idiocy.

[Glad2bnuts]

We all get what we deserve. FAFO applies to all. As long as he is happy, best of luck dude. Now WHY were you protesting at Chik fil a?

[Albion Wilde]

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

Is that a good thing or a bad thing from your point of view?

[bray]

Getting destroyed for supporting Trump and questioning the vote is Stalinistic.

[Albion Wilde]

How did he get enough money to move and live in costa Rica?

Maybe his parents or in-laws "gifted" him so he wouldn't move his family into their garage.

[Palio di Siena]

Anyone who gets that wound up about a fast food company doesn’t seem to me like someone who prioritizes things well enough to be hired

[DoodleBob]

Post of the thread.

[Ge0ffrey]

Thank you. Much appreciated. Now, having seen the video, I can see that he didn’t lose his job because he supported gay rights, which is what the original story suggests. He lost his job because he revealed his character.
