Smoothie King worker says he was fired over viral rant about touching customer\u2019s hands TikTok: @ashrayA worker at Smoothie King took to TikTok to complain, claiming that the chain had fired him because he was uncomfortable with customers touching his hands. The whole situation started in 2019, when the TikToker, named Ashton, posted a short clip where he ranted: \u201cHi, PSA: Whenever I hand you your card and receipt, you don\u2019t have to caress my hand\u2026 You don\u2019t have to touch me to take your card. You can just grab it.\u201d He slams his fist down on a table expressing his frustration, saying that he hates his job. Now, he\u2019s reposted the video, with an overlay that reads, \u201cThis video got me fired from my job,\u201d followed by a series of crying emojis. In the caption, Ashton wrote \u201cThis haunts me\u2026 Take me back,\u201d bidding the chain to rehire him. TikTok weigh in on viral Smoothie King rant After the video was posted on the platform, it seemed that many people were sympathetic to Ashton\u2019s plight, writing: \u201cFor real the older men are the ones caressing my hand. Like Sir just take your receipt without touching my hand.\u201d \u201cThey be like, \u2018your hands are COLD\u2019 Ma\u2019am, you don\u2019t need to hold my whole arm, just take your card from my fingertips,\u201d another wrote. It seems as though it\u2019s not just Smoothie King workers this has happened to, as one shared: \u201cWorking at Dunkin. This happens everywhere. I IMMEDIATELY wash my hands every time, it\u2019s so gross.\u201d One user, however, was clearly irked by Ashton\u2019s behavior in the video, stating: \u201cI can clearly see why you got fired.\u201d It\u2019s not just fast food workers who are slammed for inappropriate behavior, however, as a customer recently came under fire after she raged at waiting staff at the Sugar Factory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
