MAGA are scum. Bunch of crybullies.

I’m a first amendment lawyer…

I’m a shit post lawyer which is also a totally real thing

God fuck maga shitheads like this. Also pretty sure a lawyer wouldn’t mispronounce patron to patreon multiple times

"I'm free to address others as I see fit, but you cannot misgender me on purpose because I'm a customer"

Fuck entirely the fuck off

Manager got it wrong. Correct response would have been: Get that camera out of my face, don’t record me or my staff, get out and don’t come back. You are banned.

The customer is always right bullshit is misunderstood.

It started as something along the lines of “Assume that the customer is right until it is plain beyond all question that he is not.”

It was also stylised as “the customer is always right in matters of taste.” Which meant the customer could choose to buy your goods and services, or your competitors, and, as it was his money he was spending, he was right.

The modern meaning is a bastardisation that opens employees to pettiness and abuse.

Edit:also if someone misgenders people, we are almost obligated to misgender them back

Lawyer eating junk food?

Man first amendment lawyers are so fucking rich. They have so many cases the interstates are full of first amendment lawyer’s billboards advertising, cause there’s so many first amendment cases people file all day every day . . .

With a coupon!

Owner was trying to diffuse it but bitchlawyer wouldn’t shut up, so when she finally threw her out it didn’t get the satisfying windup the viewing public demands.

She’s a ‘first amendment lawyer’ in the same sense she’s an anti-vax doctor. She did her own “research”.

The customer is always right bullshit is misunderstood.

It’s misunderstood because nobody ever finishes the full sentence:

The customer is always right in matters of taste

When you say the whole thing it makes sense but it also can’t be used the way these cunts like to use it.

I mean let's take a step back and just think about what it means to be a decent human being. When the person at the drive through corrected her, all she had to do was say, "I'm sorry miss". That's it. But she "insisted" she was transgender. She had absolutely no proof at all. First off from first look in this video I couldn't tell if she was born boy or girl. Human characteristics are pretty fluid. I've seen some really feminine dudes and really swoll chicks. How did she know whats between their legs?

This whole thing about whipping your phone out and recording a video is just a way for these cunts to act like cunts while forcing the person they are filming to be on their best behavior for the fear of losing their job. All companies and corporations should get a new policy where all disputes will be solved only when the people involved are not filming. Get a third party to witness the thing, call the cops, whatever you think is necessary, but shove that camera up your arse you old, miserable, twat.

We gotta start throwing fry oil on these idiots

A lawyer thinking first amendment rights apply to a private business?

https://www.metroweekly.com/2025/11/burger-king-customer-booted/

Easy for a non-manager, outside of Kansas, with prior context of the customer's interaction with Lily, with hindsight to say.

Owner or not, she has Burger King lawyers to answer to, not to mention the MAGA community of her town, and she was working with partial information; she didn't know what had actually been said to the employee, she didn't know what had actually been captured on video in response, and yet she had to respond on the spot.

The manager handled it with the patience of a saint, and she was accurate: the policy is for employees to not be rude to customers, to not tolerate customers being rude to employees, and not to record on private property. She then asked the customer to leave.

I'm confident watching it back, the manager would have done everything differently, but it's one of those moments you have one shot at, and she did fine.

Yeah, an actual lawyer would know the first amendment isn't relevant between private parties, on private property.

Kim is a mother fucking legend.

I’m starting the Kimberly Buyer fan club.

You are right, she did do well in the face of an abusive customer, and, as you point out, I’m not in Kansas, or even the US.

I am a senior manager, and have faced this before and have reacted by trespassing customers from all of our branches, closing accounts, denying customers accounts, etc. I also know that my position is unique and privileged.

I answer to the owners of my company and they have my back.

I behaved in the same way in an American owned corporate, and whilst they initially backed me, I was up for redundancy at the first opportunity for them.

Also, I'm not sure a lawyer would only focus on a single amendment. That's pretty stupid.

Just imagine, that ultra Karen had the option to say nothing, to go on with their day and it would never affect them again.

Instead they went out of their way to be a huge asshole. They chose to be an asshole that day.

How does buying an overpriced, underflavored burger allot you the privilege of calling someone anything you want?

I'm glad the manager didn't misgender their staffer, but fuck being polite to that wanker. "Fuck out of this store. If you think spending money lets you be rude one-sidely, then we don't need your money." And a '1st Amendment lawyer'? Fuck all the way out.

that's a shitty thing to do.

think of who has to clean that up.

do it in the parking lot where you can just spray it off with the hose.

What does this have to do with "MAGA"?

*Burger off

I think lawyers like making examples of people who claim to be lawyers but are not, lol

A first amendment lawyer even...

What a fuss (made by the client) about a nothing-burger.

You let people record, generally. At least for the hostile interaction part.

Her response wasn't perfect, but it was pretty decent for being on the spot. Easy to pick on things with hindsight.

This is very clearly right in the center of MAGA politics, the kind of person who voted for Trump three times and misgenders people on purpose. They've always been with us, but now they record themselves.

If I was manager I would have explained that once someone threatens legal action all further communication about the incident must take place between the lawyers and it is policy not to have anyone in the store that may be pressing a lawsuit. I would have politely asked her to leave and if she gave any pushback or even asked a further question I would start walking towards the office announcing I am calling the police. If she still wanted to press her luck I would call the police and have her removed and trespassed.

I can't imagine being so stupid to intentionally record and publish on my own social media account a video that proves unequivocally that I am an incredibly stupid person and shame myself in front of the whole world

Only that day?

4/10 pun.

The ingredients are there, but they don't quite land.

There's doctors out there who laser the polyps out of people's assholes and nothing else

okay, you know the owner of this franchise is more likely to align with the video recorder than the trans service worker, right? Likely, she was trying to end the interaction in a way that wouldn't necessitate any real follow up with some other fuckass property owning piece of shit.

I eat at BURGER KING! I am ROYALTY!

-This Lady!

Tbh I think she handled it well. The customer was trying to start an incident and play the victim. The manager comes out looking incredibly calm and reasonable. I think almost anyone, even if they aren't supportive of trans rights, would watch this and see an asshole customer trying to make scene and trying to fuck with an ordinary person who's just trying to do her job. Only deranged weirdos like the customer, who are obsessed with harassing trans people, would take the customer's side.

Maybe there's a better way the manager could've handled it, but generally Burger King managers don't have media training, and we shouldn't expect people to handle these situations perfectly. And if she'd been more assertive than the customer could've edited the clip to make her response look disproportionate. Calmly emphasizing her name and pronouns was the right move to support the employee while getting rid of the customer and not giving her anything to work with.

6/10 Assessment.

Could have said 'don't quite land on their feet' in order to reply to a pun with a pun.

Yo, all now go buy at Kimberly’s BK and order a Fantastic Miss Lily Meal

That’s like being a physicist of the first law of thermodynamics

Kim did an awesome job dealing with that idiot.

Replying with a pun is an assessment is not part of the rubric.

Find this woman's name and ban her from all Burger Kings.

Oh, swetty... Your innocence is cute...

That, right there, is a life style, not a one-day-thing.

The transgender issue is not a problem with a bunch of mentally ill people running around demanding everyone call them the wrong pronouns.

The transgender issue is a problem with a bunch of mentally ill people running around feeling a compulsion to seek out minority people and say things to intentionally make those minority people's lives worse.

In an average year, I might encounter what, I'm going to say maybe about three people who I think might be transgender. Maybe I'm bad at noticing. Let's be generous and say twelve. One per month. When I read a person complaining about "so many transgender people", my first thought isn't "Oh my God the transgenders are coming to get us all!" My first thought is "What is it about this person that makes them so laser-focused on seeking out and harassing these people that I almost never see anywhere?"

TIL that Kansas King is a thing and this isn't a McDowells from Coming to America situation.

Royalty ? I have a solution 🇫🇷

Yeah man those guys rule IDK about you but I don't want a polyp there

1st amendment lawyer couponing at the second shittiest fast food restaurant.

Clearly doesn't win many cases.
