...nothing like proving your a man by being a whiny little bitch!!
The more news comes out about this clown, the more people will back off.
I have worked in service industry for over 30+ years, and experience on a daily basis customers that just want things for free. Do I blame them? Heck no. Because they probably live in Section 8 housing, trade food stamp cards, are getting welfare or SSI, and basically living off those of us that work.
Do I feel like throwing stuff at these guests or having a massive hissy fit? Yes. What do I do? I laugh at them and just think how lucky I am to have EARNED every penny I make.

Would I go as far as calling this guy a hero? No. But I will go as far to say that people are far to needy, demanding, with expectations of being served and waited on with no questions asked. I work in health care. I AM there to help people that want help. PERIOD! I am not there to be your best friend, slave, waitress, counselor, therapist, or anything else unrelated. Yet surveys show people are less concerned with abilitys and more concerned with catering. That is a problem. So even though I may not label this man a hero, I would hardly call him an idiot either.

Seriously..Do you really think Slater is concerned about losing his job? This guy is about to seriously cash in because of his STUPIDITY. He won't need to work after this debacle.
Thankfully, no one was injured or killed beacsue of him. I'm sure he will definitely make out a lot better than the passengers who were delayed beacuse of this moron. Wow..they get $100 vouchers due to this idiot's actions.
Yeah..we have become a "F@@k you" society and people like Steve Slater are sadly, it's folk heros.
