Dairy Queen owner unleashed a racist tirade on customer, He no longer has a Business.

Re: Dairy Queen owner unleashed a racist tirade on customer, He no longer has a Busin

Find replacement jobs before the location is shut down wasn't an option?

Avoiding a racism charge is way more important.
 
Re: Dairy Queen owner unleashed a racist tirade on customer, He no longer has a Busin

The article I read indicated that it would be closed until a new owner was found.

And I disagree with the notion that the owner was reprimanded beyond what was necessary. The initial racist outburst was bad enough, but then the guy is stupid enough and racist enough to double down on it when interviewed by the cops, and getting his stupid racism in the official record of the incident. That is turbocharged idiocy right there, and racist AND stupid is a bad combo for a franchise owner. He really gave DQ no choice here, especially with his apparent history.

Finally, a guy who in 2017 doesn't recognize that as a business owner you can't call your customers 'niggers' and get away with it simply is not a good candidate for self reflection and change, and if change is going to come it will have to be on his dime and with his business reputation at risk, not a company with locations all over the country and for whom this incident is PR poison.

Also though the info is kind of scattered and not so concrete at this moment it seems this case has exposed a possible history of this guy acting like this. Not completely confirmed yet though.

So I agree after the initial notion of DQ to subjecting him to retraining and sensitivity classes it seems his history and doubling down put the nail in his coffin.
This is also what I know, If i did anything close to that at my job I would be instantly fired Thoughts of giving me sensitivity training wouldn't even be considered, so it shows DQ was at least contemplating other alternatives until past history surfaced.

Ummm... no - no dude. We're going the other way. You're not turning this into an opportunity to support calling somebody a nigger, because of how you think a nigger acts.

Oh come on, man...

It'll take him a while to realize how bad that post makes him look.
 
Re: Dairy Queen owner unleashed a racist tirade on customer, He no longer has a Busin

Which one of the words that I use is obscure to you?

What does 'obscure' mean?

DQ didn't do this as some feel good story. They did this because it could potentially lead to lost profits. DQ simply doesn't care about those people and it isn't their responsibility. I'm not saying that it is good thing, only that is the reality we live in.
 
Re: Dairy Queen owner unleashed a racist tirade on customer, He no longer has a Busin

So in short, these people are out of a job until somebody decides to step in and maybe rehire them. Sounds promising. The cheering displayed by the OP in this thread is sort of the sickening problem with racism in the US. Instead of taking an attitude that supports people taking an active step to changing, everything must be a reprimand no matter the real implications of that reprimand.

My solution would have been to sever ties with the premise that the company would run the franchise until it could be sold. Instead, it was shut down. Now let's say this guy has 10 people working at his store. How many of them do you think are going to be thankful you got rid of their horribly racist boss but cost them their livelihoods?

DQ isn't going broke anytime soon, they should have taken over instead of closing it down.

Still waiting to see proof and quotes displaying the cheering of others losing jobs (or proof they even did and DQ isn't doing anything about)?
Oh thats right its a factual made up lie that didn't happen and is completely failing.

Two different posts, dude.
 
Re: Dairy Queen owner unleashed a racist tirade on customer, He no longer has a Busin

1.)Idiot doesn't know how to run a business, because insulting people with racial slurs is a surefast way to get customers from coming to your business again.
2.)That sucks for the rest of the people that lost their jobs, though.

1.) especially a franchise of that nature. Its like "How to Lose Your Job 101"
2.) "if" that happened I agree if thats happening hopefully SQ is helping somehow in this situation.
 
Re: Dairy Queen owner unleashed a racist tirade on customer, He no longer has a Busin

Yea, I don't know what it means either. :confused:

No, the definition of obscure is uncertain; not known about.

I'm saying that the way this was handled is the wrong way. Instead of stomping out racism, what was realistically done is make (let's say) ~10 people unemployed for the transgressions by their boss.

Again, I believe it could have been resolved with some retraining and counseling. It didn't need to end in lost jobs for everyone working at this place.

Re: Dairy Queen owner unleashed a racist tirade on customer, He no longer has a Busin

Here is a chance to retype all of that in a coherent paragraph.

Thanks.

Translation: you are dodging again and your lies and retarded strawman have been thoroughly exposed.
Thanks for playing. Next time control the lies and kneejerk dishonest reactions in your posts and they wont be destroyed so bad. When you can support the failed strawmen or simply post with integrity and admit they were strawmen please let us know.!!

I'm not sure what you expect here. From a big picture standpoint, the "real implications" of DQ appearing to tolerate both a racist and an asshole too stupid to temper his remarks to the cops in the official record would be immense, and awful. I can't imagine how they'd top the negative PR of having this in the news for a few weeks as they defend this guy. That hurts DQ corporate and all the rest of the franchise owners.

My solution would have been to sever ties with the premise that the company would run the franchise until it could be sold. Instead, it was shut down. Now let's say this guy has 10 people working at his store. How many of them do you think are going to be thankful you got rid of their horribly racist boss but cost them their livelihoods?

DQ isn't going broke anytime soon, they should have taken over instead of closing it down.

But the problem is your solution might be impossible. I've done many returns for franchisees and they often OWN the building and all that's in it, and simply license product, and the name etc. from the franchisor. If that's the case, corporate cannot simply take over property HE OWNS. What they can do is terminate the franchise agreement and prohibit him from operating as a DQ outlet. It's possible he can reopen as Jim's Ice Cream or whatever, so long as he finds alternative suppliers, changes his menu, etc. It all depends on the contracts and I have no idea what those say and neither do you.

As you wish:

Good move DQ sweeping in and taking his franchise from him he is clearly unstable and incompetent.

You do understand that the move was to shut down the franchise and as a result people lost their jobs.

Right?

It is what some would say are unintended consequences. The reason it was handled this way was that DQ knew that not responding in that way would likely result in nationwide protests that would have resulted in profit loss. Given that every franchise has a hotline to report incidents like this it is ridiculous not to assume they had no clue long term abuses like this were not going on. The second it hit national news they had no choice to cut ties.

wow, why do you post such blatant lies???
No what I understand is you ASSUMED somethign in your head that was never said. it was an illogical and retarded assumption and you got caught. The retarded strawman was destroyed and is still failing LMAO
No where is there a cheering of others losing their job but it is saying it was a good move by DQ to take the franchise from this guy. Like i said in post #39 that you ran from

Do you have a link showing this was factually possible at this location?
Do we know DQ owned the property etc and not Jim?
Do we know the other workers are not being compensated, transferred or assisted in work by DQ?

If you can provide such I will be on board with saying DQ should do something regarding those concerns

Now if you will please answer my questions, just this three will do for now. we will skip the other 10 or so you dodged. Thanks!!!
your retarded straman fails and gets owned again.
