Chipotle manager+staff tells these customers they have to pay first lol (Up: Tweets Change Story)
- Thread starter Mr. X
- Start date
You're not being fair, especially for people like me who participated in this thread later, and you can independently claim that this woman is being treated and fired unfairly without being burdened with accusation that hidden intentions are involved.
Oh, they offered her job back? Huh.
Edit: just saw the tweet above.
I wouldn't take it if I am her though, unless she's desperate about money or something, seeing how the management has shown that they're so willing to throw her under the bus.
I hope they gave her a raise, and train their own damn selves not to jump the gun and fall for out of context videos in the future, and instead do at least an hour of research into the claims first.
You'd think this country would have learned their lesson after James O'Keefe / Project Veritas actually got Congress to dissolve ACORN by unfunding them with absurd, heavily edited videos showing people speaking out of context and driving a false narrative.

The reason we're even communicating directly to each other right now is because you initially quoted a post I made wherein about 95% of it is an explanation to someone else about the racist implications of the backlash towards initial responders in this thread post-tweet. Note that those tweets are absolutely essential to understanding the basic story, both how it began and how it completely flipped. You can't possibly be unaware of all of the story's major details at this point if you're participating in earnest, and subsequently you cannot wave away the fact that there is already an ongoing context for this thread's direction simply because you finally decided to respond ten pages in. Besides, I already explained that it's totally possible to both empathize with the woman without stepping on the toes of black people who had a reaction to the story based in the sociopolitics of blackness in America, not because we like "outraging for the sake of outrage." There is a reason for the cynicism, and frankly I don't care how unfair people find the "burden" of that cynicism.
People saying "I wouldn't take the job back" should go to work tomorrow and quit the jobs they've worked hard to secure,and jump back into today's job market.
That sounds really tough when you're typing it.

The tweets were deleted but someone managed to screenshot them before that happened, that's why the view count is so low. The screenshots themselves have been widely circulated, so I doubt anyone finding this story won't do so by a news site that doesn't have the full story.
I'm wondering what company will be the first one brave enough to not publicly post/reprimand/fire an employee based on a knee-jerk social media confrontation. Unfortunately with the way things have been lately, what happened here wasn't unexpected, though the outcome certainly seems to have been.
"I'm disappointed in that whole crew for not stepping up and instead accusing us of something we haven't done." http://www.startribune.com/chipotle...r-retrains-staff-after-viral-video/500733081/
pretty bold for this asshole to post about dining and dashing on his public twitter then lie like this. what a punk.

Last time I saw the screenshot tweet it had like 100 retweets. Like the one in the OP 26 Retweets, 119 likes. Far cry from 4 million.
This is good. I really hope news runs the clarification.
And once again fuck those lying assholes trying to throw someone else under the bus.
Holy shit. I need someone to expose him on the news.
Refuse to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple and millions will stand up for you no matter the social media fallout
Also, it appears she is taking donations now, and at least some of the money is coming from the type you would expect, with such gems as:
$50 from that guy, and
But she could only spare a fiver.

Not even remotely the same thing. A small baker is much different than a national or global corporation.
Probably doesn't want to give Chipotle the good PR after what they did to her.
her lawyer probably said "your tweet was cute, but we have a legal suit."
It's not really about defending the corporation. I feel like they are trying to convince themselves that their original reaction to the case was justified.
I think Myradeer put it nicely here:
I mean, he's like, right there and you can ask him if that's his reason and he will likely tell you no. but by all means continue to theorize.
Deny the job back, win your suit. Make an example out of the company for being too quick to take action without having any real data whatsoever.
What's confusing?
1. A guy and four friends have a history of abusing Chipotle's policy of letting people walk away with food if they forget their money once across several Chipotle locations for years. They also like to steal bottles of Tobasco sauce.
2. The manager at one location recognized them having done this at their location the previous night and asks for proof of payment before they make their food after previously not having money.
3. Upset at being caught and called out, they record a video crying wolf accusing her of racism. The video out of context puts the manager in an extremely bad light, especially when staff actually start helping actual customers and ignoring the dine and dashers.
4. They upload the video to twitter. Since the video out of context looks extremely bad, it blows up to 4+ million views and people are outraged at how they were treated.
5. Manager is immediately fired. The initial reason given is that she failed to "Treat customers fairly and with respect."
6. The guy posted the video to the same twitter account where he bragged about dining and dashing and stealing from Chipotle for years. Not long after she was fired people started finding all these tweets and screencapping them.
7. It's clear the manager was telling the truth about these guys not paying for food despite being able to afford it. Social media turns on the five guys for crying wolf and making the manager look like a racist unjustifiably and they get roasted hard on twitter.
8. Chipotle change their stated reasoning for firing her from "Failing to treat customer fairly and with respect" to "Violated policy about customers ordering food before paying."
9. After enough pressure, Chipotle offers the manager her job back, maybe. The manager posted this as a tweet before deleting tweet.
It said she got a call from the head of communications offering her job back.
That is awesome!
Now there just needs to be some consequences for the "customers".
Chipotle probably realized they fucked up and offered her job back. What state did this happen in? She may be getting a huge payday.
I won't blame someone for not being unflinchingly noble and accepting no money because they can't verify the intentions of everyone giving it to them after they've been fired and are likely about to go to court with a huge corporation over it.
And this is why we need to stop with this outrage culture nonsense. Just go back to the first few pages and read some of the reactions from people, it is totally disgusting what people were projecting onto her.
Doubtful, there is very little protection for employees in this country. They can fire you for any number of bullshit reasons.
Here's the thing. Retail jobs will make policies like this where you are supposed to never assume it is a thief, and then they will punish the store if too much thievery happens. Those policies are there to throw the employee under the bus if something goes wrong to stop a thief. They still want you to stop the thief somehow. Just if you get in trouble for it, fuck you.
It's the fun of living in a country that gives most of the power to the employers and very little to employees.
"We" didn't learn this lesson the last dozen times it was presented to us. Not sure that will change anytime soon.
Fuck social media, getting sick of it.
I imagine being at my old retail job, being harassed by some douchey customer and then getting my job terminated on top of it because of some out of context tweets or videos and a million dumbasses ganging up on me online because I did my job.
We're getting stupider by the minute.

Ugh, like the (VERY FEW) women who lie about being raped, I can't fucking stand it when Black people make a fucking mockery of some shit that actually still happens to us in 2018.

I did not realize Masud Omar Ali had a criminal record as well.

It's always going to be about race regardless since the first video. There is no removing that now.
That was sarcasm leveled at those saying the racial component is irrelevant.
