[VIDEO] Professor verbally abuses Chick-fil-A drive-through employee
Campus Reform ^

Posted on 08/02/2012 12:34:07 PM PDT by oliverdarcy

A college professor on Wednesday verbally abused a drive-through employee at a Chick-fil-A in Tucson, and then posted a video of the incident on YouTube.

Adam Smith, an adjunct professor from the University of Arizona – Tucson, described himself in the video as “totally heterosexual” without “a gay in me” who believes that Chick-fil-A is “a horrible corporation with horrible values.”

Smith proceeded to belittle the attendee asking how she managed to live with herself.

“I don’t know how you live with yourself and work here,” Smith told the woman, identified as “Rachel” on her nametag. “This is a horrible corporation with horrible values. You deserve better.”

if anyone recognizes him when he comes back to tell him his money is no good there and take his business elsewhere.

Restaurant people have a way of handling this kind of jerk but I don’t think CFA would approve. How do you want your chicken sandwich? OK, I’ll take care of that and the rest I can’t disclose.

I wonder if he might enjoy a free subscription to all the latest gardening magazines. Perhaps working on a Japanese rock garden might help him calm down (assuming he can read Japanese).

Not that I’d sign him up for them...

“Looks like he can’t manage his OWN finances, either.”

Wow...Mr Smith’s world just got a whole lot smaller.

Great find.

(Also have to ask...was Mr. Smith trying to achieve that nasty old 1%’er status before he “blew” it?)

I just got a call from a friend who was in the same position and I said the same thing.

“the fight is a synthetic argument designed to generate sympathy for their goal. It really doesn’t matter what the outcome is, the goal is more air time for their cause.”

“For my part, the issue is one of free speech and personal views. I don’t care if you are gay but clearly there are those who care that I am not and want to cow into embarrasement, so I will give into their childish and purile rants”.

“I wouldn’t have even known about Chick Fil A coming to my hometown much less how an interview between the CEO and a Christian publication went but, for you ridiculous and soon to be ridiculed rants”.

“Don’t bother me anymore about this. You are clearly uninformed, purposely, and I am going to make you look stoopit for even bringing it up. It’s way past getting insulting now I’m going to tease you about....with a smile”

Mr. Smith is an Obama supporter.

What is with these people who have a connection to Obama and have their panties in a wad over Chick-fil-A?

Rahm Emmanuel goes bonkers over chick-fi8l-a. Now an Obama donor goes crazy.

Update - the guy is some officer in a medical appliance company.

His cellphone number was public information, traceable through a simple search. It has been disconnected.

His company’s website, email server, and voice mail system have shut down due to overload.

They are out of business.

Liberal Americans are brought up today to be narcissitic parasitical sadistic obsessive-compulsive collectivist morons with delusions of godhood.

Other than that, they’re fine.

I hear ya! If I was her (I’d be a really ugly her. but I digress) this guy would be wearing his free bucket of water.

BTW does CFA really give away a huge water? I figured the “free” water would be a cube of ice in a shot glass sized cup.

I heard this dweeb was pissed off because he had to wait in the drive through line 4 hours for a 1 minute speech.

He is (at least for now)the chief financial officer for some medical equipment company.

I suspect his company will not appreciate the negative attention his actions have put on that company.
