Two owners of a Dixy Fried Chicken restaurant in London. They filmed themselves bullying an elderly customer, and posted it on Facebook. They spit in his food, flung trash at him, and harassed the poor old man. A concerned citizen who saw the video on Facebook filmed himself confronting the two cowards, and kudos to him.





Abuse of the elderly is one thing I'd not tolerate, and I'd only wished these two would have come out from behind the counter. A shame for an elderly gentleman to be treated this way in London of all places.

I love guys like the one who marched in to confront the cowardly bullies. We should all make it a point to defend those who are unable to defend themselves, and we should always challenge bully behavior when we see it.

I hope those two lose so much business over this that they have to close their doors.

So much misinformation. It wasn't the owner who baited the customer, it was an employee, who was fired instantly. But then who's going to let a fact or two interfere with the meme?

Chicken shop worker is sacked after taunting elderly customer on video | Daily Mail Online


Oh, and it was 2016 when it happened. No problem if another wave of hate is unleashed on the innocent staff who're there now, right?

Just further confirmation that a glance in here at the poster's name usually gives sufficient reason to discount the whole thread altogether.

Are you actually going to address the comments in the thread from post 3 rather than link and run?

What did you mean by (specifically the underlined) "A shame for an elderly gentleman to be treated this way in London of all places."

London of all places? You don't believe London would have someone who could do that? Really?

It's disgusting to treat anyone like that.

He used the Daily Mail as a source, which I'm told is a cardinal sin, by many of the fine British and Euro posters on this board. They'd chastise me for using the Daily Mail here, but now you, I mean they, seem to support them as a source.

Well I certainly didn't believe it was possible until viewing the video Serenity. You see, several British members of this board have told me that such things don't occur much in London, or the UK for that matter. They would never lie in order to paint a rosy picture of the outcome of their politics, so of course I was shocked to see this video. Speaking of the video, do you know why the original video was removed from YouTube a scant few hours after I made this thread? Did someone flag it??

Yes, hence the thread's existence. To raise awareness.

I had a quick look to find another source that you may feel more comfortable with. Stormfront have a thread over there on it but I'm not linking that crap. Can you share your original source please? There's about as much chance that you just stumbled across the video on youtube as there is that i am batman. I don't buy that for a second. What is your original source that took you to the youtube video? Let's see how that compares to the Daily Mail.

That's a stupid question to ask. How would I know? I don't run you tube and I've never flagged a video on my life. For future reference, The CT Forum is 8 doors down, to your right. Perhaps you would be more comfortable there.

"This video has been removed for violating YouTube's policy on harassment and bullying."

Maybe this here your thread did it on account of wishing to incite hatred two years after the incident happened, the employee in question was fired and anyone coming across the blurb could be tempted to go to that chicken shop and make true one of the many death threats the owner has been receiving.
Yes, hence the thread's existence. To raise awareness.

Oh awareness constantly rises, have no fear. Just that it's awareness of what sort of a poster you are and how much better things would be if blurb-tube's policies spilled over into here..
 
Who wants to bet the "worker" was related to the owner?

Congrats Batman, the video was in the Related Videos section of the one I watched before it. Maybe you can trace my source and find that out for yourself, rather than insinuating that I got the video from some dubious website.

Also, perhaps you can tell me what your objection is to this thread? Surely you're not making a fuss over an error about the Chicken Men being employees rather than owners.

You're incorrectly using quotation marks.

Haha, you're little CT above is more amusing. You seem to liken YouTube videos to extremist content that one must visit sites like Stormfront in order to see. I'm sure that would be the case, in your ideal world.
 
I am just going to start calling these kinds of videos “outrage porn”.

Just to say that anything coming from the poster in question merits to be treated, kindly put, with extreme caution.

It should be obvious that I was referring to the video in your ORIGINAL OP. How did you stumble across it?

The employee involved was sacked on the spot. The Owner was not involved in the incident, your OP is a lie. You might be okay with the owner and other staff who were not involved receiving attacks, abuse and bomb threats since the video went viral but I can't imagine any reasonable person would be okay with you spreading the lies to further your agenda.

You made a statement. Back it up. You don't get to just throw around bull**** claims without being called on them.

Here's what you said.

Mohammad Ali said his Dixy Original chicken store in Dagenham has been burgled, vandalised, raided by schoolchildren and boycotted after a video appearing to show an elderly and vulnerable man being teased by staff in the restaurant was posted on social media.

Now the new mayor of Barking and Dagenham Eileen Keller and River ward councillor Peter Chand have joined forces with Mr Ali in an attempt to ease community tension and explain what happened at the shop on Wednesday last week.
“I know the man from the video – he comes to my shop every day and I give him free meals,” Mr Ali said. “I would never see him hurt.”

The mayor, who began the role on Friday last week, blamed the “rumour mill” of social media for inflaming the incident.

“People have used what’s happened to bring race into it,” she said. “There was no underlying racial tension – people have just stirred it up.”

With our resident cross-pond stirrer obviously needing to gleefully add to all of it, even two years after the event.
 
Devastated Mohammad Ali, 53, said he feared for his terror-stricken family after his high street fast food business was repeatedly targeted.

Pakistan-born Mr Ali, who runs the Dixy Original chicken store in Dagenham, Essex, said he's even had threats to firebomb him out.

The dad-of-two spoke out after sacking the employee who allegedly picked on the confused white elderly customer - who has severe learning difficulties.

It's a Pakistani shop and the sacked employee is also a Pakistani. These Pakistani shop clerks are rude to their customers based on my year-long experience in the UK. One of them followed me around in a cosmetics shop and another one rudely double-checked my £20 note. You are likely to get ripped off when you get a taxi with a Pakistani driver.

Considering the experience that I've had with Pakistanis in the UK over a much longer time, your year long experience obviously amounts to squat.

I've already told you how I came across it. Related Videos section.

Speaking about the cruel harassment of the elderly man, shop owner Mr Ali said, "It was just a joke but you cannot act like that."

Just a joke? To spit in the food of an elderly man with learning disabilities? **** him. And **** his supporters, like the Council Member who went out of his way to excuse the behavior:

"the staff at the shop, they were just messing about."

Don't expect me to shed a tear over WORDS Serenity, they don't compare to VIOLENT ACTIONS, like spitting on a man and throwing garbage on him.

You want quotes? Go find them yourself. I'm not your golpher. And personally, anyone who expresses sympathy for the Chicken Slop Shop crew, but doesn't care much about the elderly man being abused ain't worth my time.
