Chick-fil-A worker bullied by executive says she wants to meet him
DailyMail ^ | 8-7-12 | James Nye

The Chick-fil-A staff member who was verbally abused by a customer for the fast-food firms anti-gay marriage stance has said she has forgiven him and is willing to meet him.

The girl, who would only identify herself as Rachel, told Fox News that she bares no ill-feeling towards Adam Smith, whose anti-Chick-fil-A video stunt backfired on him last week causing him to lose his job.

'I do forgive him. I think he realizes how bad it was to make that tape,' said Elizabeth after hearing a snippet of Smith’s subsequent apology video. 'I feel sorry for him and his family, and for everything that has happened to him since.'

Freudian slip?

>>>So this gal liked that five minutes of fame and now is hooked on it to crave more. Nothing at all to do with Christianity.>>>

Nothing to do with Christianity? Christ, himself, taught that you must forgive in order to be forgiven. The Our Father, as taught by Jesus, says, “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.”

You are so far off base I don't know where to start. She has already forgiven him, she need not have to become a celebrity now. That would not be about him at all but about her own ego. How does Christ feel about that? Did you actually think I meant for her to NOT forgive him?

Yes, fish hawk, I actually did get the impression that you felt she was wrong to forgive, but only wanted more fame. I hope you forgive me for misunderstanding you.

You don’t think that a crazy guy filming you and badgering you while you are working and possibly trying to get you fired is something this girl needs to forgive? The guy was using her to try to make Chick-Fil-A look bad. He set her up to be fired and/or bullied by more crazy like-minded persons in this area. And there are a lot in this area!

The headline does not match what the story says. The story says she would be willing to meet the guy not that she wants to meet the guy.

As for fame, she didn’t ask for it. She works at a very busy fast food restaurant and is probably being reminded of this incident at least once every ten minutes if not more while she is working. Don’t blame her for the attention she is receiving. Blame the creep.

I have nothing to forgive you for. It was your mistake and now you admitted and corrected it. I will thank you though, the thought was nice.

So the headline is wrong so my post is legit. Take it out on the poster of the headline, not me. As far as “don't blame her for the attention” the media shows up at her front door, DON'T ANSWER IT. (unless ,of course, you don't mind the cameras and attention)

I think she's a great gal, but I am a little puzzled at her boyfriend's insistence that she not do interviews unless he's with her.

He seems a bit creepy. (the boyfriend that is...)

Hmmm... I didn’t know that. Checking into it further, I see what you mean. When someone does that, it always makes me suspicious, too. Maybe he just wants to be there for support. I don’t know... I don’t want to jump to conclusions here, but my experience has taught me to be suspicious about that, too... I see that he set up a website for her; a freeper linked to it here:
