Dunkin' Donuts employee fired for pouring water on sleeping homeless man

[Floyd R. Turbo]

A Dunkin’ Donuts employee has been fired after he was caught on camera pouring water on a resting homeless man.

A video of the incident, which took place in Syracuse, N.Y., was posted on Facebook and went viral over the weekend. In it, Jeremy Dufresne is seen sleeping at a corner table.

As he was waiting for his phone to charge, a worker approached and dumped water on Dufresne’s head. “How many times do I have to tell you to stop sleeping in here?” the employee says in the video. Another employee can be heard laughing in the video.

Visibly shaken, Dufresne jumped to his feet and unplugged his phone before leaving the store.

1. While Dunkin' is at it: Fire the other employee who laughed.

Just because ... who would want to work with or be served by a heartless person who laughs at the misfortunes of others.

5. They have both been terminated and I'm hopeful we can hook these two up and make them famous.

9. Good.

People who harrass the poor and the vulnerable deserved to get fired and never re-hired. When they've lived on the streets for a while, they might develop some sympathy for the ones who are already there.

11. Yes, I agree with you. Everyone should recognize them for who they are.

6. The already did.

2. It is good to hear

that bad behavior is not being ignored. Being fired will long be remembered. Being reprimanded soon forgotten. Good for Dunkin’. Hummm, if only we could do the same for the Idiot, McConnell, and Graham. If only.

3. Cue the RW outrage...

...as the right wing fuckonauts (like astronaut, but with fuckers instead) whine about how a guy can be homeless if he can afford a cell phone. You know that's coming.

4. Firing is the corporate equivalent of capital punsihment.

Is firing all we have? Couldn't there be "Learn Something"?

7. Are you being serious?

Sometimes it's hard to tell.

[Turbineguy]

8. Well, perhaps it isn't Dunkin' Donuts' job

to re-raise these two from birth.

12. Sure.

You can learn that pouring water over the head of a sleeping homeless person will get you fired from Dunkin Donuts.

There ya go.

Learned something.

10. Two nasty bullies.

What awful people.

13. Was there a MAGA hat involved?

14. Gofundme for homeless guy up to 11,000

[Calculating]

15. This gofunme stuff is getting silly

I'd let somebody pour water over my head for $11,000. Whenever gofundme is involved I start suspecting something is amiss lately. Reminds me of where they raised $400K for that one homeless guy and alter found out his sponsors were using it to buy BMW's and stuff. The homeless need actual help (Mental health, housing, skills, training, resume assistance, etc) Just giving them a big chunk of money won't benefit them, and will more often than not hurt things if they use it for drugs/alcohol.
