Former Vante Exec Videos Chick-Fil-A Smackdown

Adam Smith, the former CFO of Chick-Fil-A seemed so proud of himself when he videotaped himself taking free water from a Chick-Fil-A drive thru and berating an low-level hourly employee there. Oh, watch the holier-than-thou outrage and his claims that he’s not a fag!

Turns out that his company didn’t think his stunt was cute and thought his behavior was not in keeping with corporate conduct policies. So while the Chick-Fil-A appreciation day created thousands of new jobs at Chick-Fil-A, this cretin found himself out of a job. Psst… Adam… Chick-fil-A is hiring.

From BI here:

Adam Smith, former CFO and treasurer of medical supplies manufacturer Vante, caused quite a stir when he put up a video of himself bullying a Chick-fil-A drive-thru employee in Tucson on YouTube.

Smith berates the worker about her company in the video, which was initially titled ”Reduce $’s to Chick-Fil-A’s Hate Groups.” It has since been taken down (though others have uploaded it too).

”I’m a nice guy, by the way … totally heterosexual,” he continues. “Not a gay in me, I just can’t stand the hate.”

Vante didn’t approve of Smith’s behavior, and he’s no longer working there.

The following is a statement from Vante:
Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.

The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.

Others were reporting on Twitter that Smith tried to delete everything, including the video, his Linked-In profile and other social media accounts, but the hate he spewed was already out there for all to see. And what’s worse, is when you fuck up bad enough to make the front page of Drudge, is it possible to get hired again when Obama’s unemployment rate is already above 8 percent?
