No good deed goes unpunished!

Never be a hero on company time:



A waiter in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., who left his shift to rescue a woman being attacked by an armed carjacker was fired after the heroic effort.

Police said a 22-year-old woman was attacked by a knife-wielding man outside the 84 Thai Food restaurant in the Southland Shopping Center on Monday.


Restaurant waiter Juan Canales spotted the attack and ran to help.

Canales said he tackled the culprit, who police identified as Albert Means, and held him until police could arrive.


However, when Canales went back to work, he said his boss terminated him.

How did Clark Kent stay employed all those years? Perry White should have flat canned his red cape wearing ass.

What the hell?

[DaneO'Roo]

What the fuck?

"z0mg you stopped that chick from possibly being stabbed, I hate you your fired"

[Leiukemia]

lol, the funny thing is if the local paper sees this, that restaurant will lose much more money in sales then whatever it lost while the employee was busy being a hero.

[Texrat]

I would think docking him for the time should have done it...

Bingo. Silly proprietor...

[DaneO'Roo]

What possible reason could the owner want someones meal to come first before someone being stabbed?

[Abdurahman]

Typical Thai behavior.

Sorry to any Thais on this forum.

Especially if the victim was a customer...

[DaneO'Roo]

Business. It's serious.

[Texrat]

Say hello to the average business owners' care for humanity.

Say hello to the average business owners' care for humanity.

Which is ironic, because hating your customer has a tendency to be bad for business. Unless you're a soup nazi. Then I am full of crap.

[DaneO'Roo]

Or the CMT forums.

*edit*

ohwait, that works with Tex's post anyway :downs:

I sure hope he has unemployment insurance.

[Texrat]

I sure hope he has unemployment insurance.

He will be quikcly hired as the host of a new reality show, sue someone for $$$ when it's cancelled, and finally die from a shark attack off the coast of Utah.

[DaneO'Roo]

And then resurfaces to stardom on rotten.com

You said when he dies. For all you know, global warming could have made Utah a seaside state.

My god Tex, I got the biggest kick out of that.

Stfu. That was going to be one of my comebacks. :hate:

[LlamaMaster]

Also, what the hell was going though that guys mind when he fired him? Thats bullshit. The world just doesn't make any sense anymore...

Ugh, that's low.

Reminds me of a joke:

What's the last thing that goes through a bug's mind when he hits a windshield?























His asshole.

[Abdurahman]

ROFL never heard that before lol.

[Kornman00]

Did he at least get the girl?

[Texrat]

Did he at least get the girl?

She dies in his arms. 4 of them, anyway.

Oh, not the bug. My bad.

It was on Channel 7. It'll probably go on for a week before he gives him the job back. The media makes quick work of making people look like Hitler down here.

[n00b1n8R]

that much failure makes EFG cry.

If you're referring to Dane, we don't learn US geography in Australia. :downs:

What an idiot, surely he'd realise how the media would protray him and his business for that...?
