Came here to say this.  Well done.

Jesus Christ, Laura! The body isn’t even cold yet!

Thank you for staying laser focused on sports by breaking down his swing. I’d be upset if I was tricked into reading about international geopolitical events on Deadspin.

I have some sympathy for the guy, because he probably felt like he was up against it with his manager over wait-time stats; restaurants should not put employees in a position where stats are so important that being rude to customers ever seems justified. I bet he probably could have taken the damn order and sent the…

You seem charming.  I hope your worst moment is never caught on video and broadcast on the internet.  Cheers!

That’s not really my point. My point is that losing a job when you are already poor can have life altering consequences. He might end up homeless. But the counter point is: he was a dick on video so who give a fuck about that piece of shit!!!!!!

I boycott Chick-fil-A not because of the employees but because of the anti gay stuff

This is exactly it. Instead of working to improve processes so a deaf person can use the drive thru without needing to type up her order on her phone, BK just fired a wage slave.

There is nothing in the story that makes me think he was rude to her on purpose, he was just busy and couldn’t think of what to do. If they are not busy, I’m sure having an order typed out on a phone and waiting probably works just fine, though it would take a long time and you might as well go inside to wait.

Tell that to my former editor.

Exactly. It’s a company that is doing the bare minimum to save face. The bare. Fucking. Minimum. We are going to fire one poor person and we are going to have extra training for this location. Why aren’t they firing the executives that put policies and procedures in place? Why not extra training at all locations?

Oh, we’re doing this again? A single retail employee screwing up in no way proves that all retail employees don’t deserve a living wage.

Speaking as someone who’s butted heads with an editor over the “allegedly” rule—long story short, unless someone’s been convicted by a court of law or issued a full confession, everything is “reportedly” or “allegedly” whatever claim is being made—it’s to be double-dog sure you don’t run afoul of libel laws.

I’m gonna take an unpopular position: I don’t think we should be so gleeful about this guy losing his job. He most likely needs that job. We’re not talking about the snooty maitre d in Ferris Bueller. We are talking about a dude working the drive thru at Burger King. It sounds like he needs training and Burger King…

Sometimes my fingers still type out gawker.com and I start crying again.

You’re wrong on almost every level. Chick-fil-A is a privately held company and its profits have been used, and almost certainly continue to be used, to support anti-LGBTQ causes. Dan Cathy isn’t just a hired-gun CEO; he and his family own the company.

You sound like triggered bible beating evangelical trash.

Kevin, I respect you and you’re probably my favorite contributor across all of GMG, including your video appearances.

Long story short: people aren’t sold on Orange Cassidy because he can legitimately wrestle, but his gimmick is that of a lazy dude. Yet worse gimmicks from worse wrestlers have been used for years in every promotion, particularly the one that has the most beef with AEW.
