>> No room to yell at us.
>> I wanna speak to the person who made this drink.
Was that you?
>> No, it wasn't me but.
>> We don't know who made it so.
>> You don't know who made it?
>> There's four of us here, so we honestly don't-
>> Stupid, ignorant high school kids.
>> Okay, bye.
>> I wanna speak to- >> Okay, you can call corporate, whatever
you want.
Goodbye.
>> No, I don't care.
>> Give it to me right now.
>> I'm calling the police.
I'm calling the police.
>> Telephone.
>> No, get out.
You can all corporate right now, bye!
>> Sure.
>> Okay, good for you, bye.
Bye!
>> Shut up!
>> You shut up.
You're not here to tell me to shut up you.
Who are you?
>> You immigrant loser.
>> What?
>> Get the out!
Get the out!
You're going to jail.
You're going to jail, you racist piece.
>> Bro, call the police now.
>> So that was obviously a male Karen at a Robeks in Fairfield, which is actually right
next door to bridgeport Connecticut where I was born and raised.
James Iannazzo was apparently so angry with the employees of a Robeks that he yelled at
them, threw stuff, shouted racial slurs.
And then, yes, at the end of the video tried to get into the employees only area, which
is suspicious in any event at a Robeks, but particularly after you're yelling and shouting
racist stuff.
I would have been terrified if I was one of those teenagers working at that Robeks that
this mad man was going to attack.
So I'll give you more details about what led to that.
But I do want your reaction, Francesca.
>> I mean Iannazzo, I think there's some go get your boy-ness over here.
Connecticut John, call your boy, but- >> Now, to be fair, look, I've never been
arrested while at a Robeks.
I have been thrown out of a Robeks.
I am banned from several Papa John's.
Papa's john, I think it would be called.
But this is not the same thing.
Comment with the anti-Italian stuff.
>> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay, okay, and that's fine.
No, my first thought when I saw this is beyond his ridiculous behavior because we've seen
this so much lately, but it's about the workers right there.
I just did like a whole two hours on like the great resignation on the Twitchuation
room, which is mighty whitey stream.
But there are so many workers who are saying, enough!
I don't get paid to deal with these customers and to be mistreated and to have drinks thrown
at me, right?
This is not even a minimum wage job.
We can't even get the minimum wage raised.
Meanwhile, my shifts are disappearing.
I don't get sick time.
Whatever it is, no worker deserves to be treated that way.
And it's on management to protect them.
So I immediately just thought, man, I would quit too.
Like, I would quit like.
>> Yeah, look, working in these sorts of jobs, I'm sure you have, I've worked in 1,000 different
areas of food service and retail and all that, it was never easy.
And these things, by the way, are not totally new.
What's new is high-definition cameras being carried around by everyone, but they are worse.
Cuz people do feel emboldened, I think.
In this case, he says the reason, cuz he's now got a lawyer, he's been arrested and all
that, is that he had gotten a smoothie, given it to his child, the child had had an allergic
reaction.
He believes that they put peanuts in it or something like that that caused it.
I understand that that would cause you to be very angry and very scared.
I understand that.
And I admit that Robeks is a high-tension area in the best of times.
Cuz everyone's hopped up on stimulants and stuff.
But you don't get to to try to attack them, verbally in a racial way and especially potentially
physically.
What were you gonna say to them in the employee-only area that you couldn't say over the counter?
Why did you need to try to bust down a door that a scared employee is desperately trying
to keep shut?
That is horrifying behavior.
And the context about the health thing does not ameliorate it.
>> Yeah, yeah.
And I know he's got like a statement out and and he works with Merrill Lynch, right?
It doesn't matter what happened.
The way that you treat someone, it says everything about your worldview too.
Like if you're treating, I mean, again, we all know that the way that you treat working
people, we've all been out to dinner with somebody who treats wait staff like crap.
They're ridiculous.
And it shows a lot about their worldview and how they believe workers should be in the
service of them.
And if they make any kind of mistake, well then they deserve to have a smoothie thrown
at them and be berated, etc., etc., etc.
Instead of, I'm sure if he was calmer about it, the whole situation would've been calmer.
>> Yeah, definitely.
And then he might not have ended up getting arrested.
And he might not have, to add just one little bit of extra news what you said about the
Merrill Lynch thing, he used to work at Merrill Lynch.
He does not work there anymore because apparently there is actually a line even for organizations
like that, not having to do with the financial stuff.
But when it comes to Robeks, they take that seriously.
