re: #23 Lawrence Schmerel

The only reason a person would work at the drive-through window of a place like Chik-fil-A is because they are desperate for a means to support themselves. I find the rude man’s confrontation of such a person, essentially abusing her in her position, to be inexcusable. I am having a very difficult time finding any reason to feel sorry for the rude man losing his job. Whether or not those who may have caused it acted improperly, he absolutely deserved to be fired. I would fire such a person if I were shown such misguided, rude, and abusive activities as these. I feel very sorry for that poor lady in the drive-through window. What a horrible way to have to earn a living and to be treated.

This. I don’t know if I would have gone to firing, but this is childish, asinine behavior toward a woman who undoubtedly needs that job.

I think the disregard for working people that we often attribute to the powerful or the “1%” is actually very deeply ingrained in America among people who simply have a little more. I’ve met too many people who would shrug over this and say the drive-through lady should ‘get another job’, because they could, and they wouldn’t lose much by doing so. It’s no way to make change.
