Not all of the half-million plus people who reportedly visited Chick-fil-A restaurants on August 1st were there to support the company. There were a few folks who stopped by to protest the company. One such protester is Adam M Smith.
Mr. Smith is an Adjunct Lecturer at Eller College in Arizona and he also is the CFO of Vante, a catheter manufacturing company.
Apparently, Adam Smith is not a fan of the head of Chick-fil-A and he decided to let the company know how he felt. Smith sat in the drive through lane of a local franchise, intending to only order “free water” and give the company a piece of his mind.
In the video, initially titled ”Reduce $’s to Chick-Fil-A’s Hate Groups” – these points are worth noting:
•The college students that Smith sees off in the distance and speculates are getting ready to stage a sit-in, were most likely waiting to get into the movie theater they were standing in front of. •He tells the young woman working the window, “This is a horrible corporation with horrible values.” •He also goes out of his way to stress ,”I’m a nice guy, by the way… totally heterosexual. Not a gay in me, I just can’t stand the hate.” Not long after Smith posted the video on YouTube, it was removed.
However, other web users had already spotted the clip, copied it and reposted it, citing the ”Freedom And Innovation Revitalizing United States Entrepreneurship Act of 2007.”
We offer the re-posted video for your viewing pleasure.
Hate like this can lead this poor boy to the Dark Side.
The girl displayed courtesy, poise, grace, & that she was a lady of class. The “”prof proved that he is not a gentleman & has no manners.
People should call his company and say they are exercising their right to Free Speech to tell them that their CFO is a douchebag for harassing a young worker just trying to do her job.
Adam yanked his Yahoo email account, too.
Adam will be changing his e-mail address soon. I will send him a note.
Adam is a SDB! (Super Douche Bag)
That employee remained very professional and did well to represent Chick Filet. I’d like to know her story. Total composure in the face of a SDB.
Wow! What does this say about Chick-Fil-A, and their customer service? The guy waits takes up a space in their line, orders only water, and what do they do?
They give him the largest size cup they have, full of water, with the straw already inserted (left the top of the straw in place for sanitary purposes), and deliver it with a smile and thanks!
Most other restaurants would give you the el cheapo plastic cup, no straw, and a “get lost” attitude.
Chick-Fil-A Rocks!
She was dynamite.
The mission of the Eller College is to support and develop a community of scholars and learners whose knowledge, integrity, and entrepreneurial spirit will transform business and society; this is the Eller Experience.
The irony is rich! I'd think this would be embarrassing for Eller College.
It would be poetic justice if some of Vante's customers contacted them and said they no longer wanted to do business with a company that would employ a hate-filled CFO who videotapes himself bullying a teenage girl and then uploads it to youtube.
Show this cowardly POS a picture of the most recent public hanging of gays in Tehran, then ask if he's ready to protest the hatred in front of the nearest mosque.
I fully agree 100%.

This thread too.
This company needs to be aware of his behavior.

I believe that is worthy of sending to the President of Eller College with the question “Did Adam Smith not read your mission statement?”
it’s hitting the media

Somewhere in Tucson, a CFO is signing severance package papers right about now.
