The employee leaves the room and starts crying loudly while the customer continues to film, disapprovingly saying, \u201cWow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The employee left his job and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/help-harassed-holiday-in-employee?utm_campaign=p_cp_url&amp;utm_medium=os&amp;utm_source=customer\"><span class=\"s1\">GoFundMe<\/span><\/a> was set up that has received over $135,500 in donations so far. The fundraising website includes a quote from the man, saying,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"17\">\n<p class=\"p2\"><i>\u201cWhile I\u2019ve now quit this position (my management supported me, and told me I\u2019m welcome back. The guest was ejected from the hotel for escalating issues with staff and the owners.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><i>I do have mental disorders. I suffer from BPD and schizo-affective disorders. What this fine, gentleman behind the camera DIDN\u2019T record was the fact that he called me a F**GOT for an associates mistake.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><i>He was aggressive, and fishing for a reaction. He sure got it; and I\u2019m glad this was a wake up call for me to stop slaving away for corporations who do not care about you at all, or the guests.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While the video itself was an example of the worst in people, reactions on the fundraising site have shown the best in people, with countless comments streaming in offering support to the harassment victim:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p class=\"p2\"><i>\u201cI won\u2019t stand for bullying We\u2019re with you\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><i>\u201cI too suffer from BPD and there was a time in my life where that very well could have been me behind the counter.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><i>\u201cI know how you felt in that moment and please know that you are not alone.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><i>\u201cSeeing your pain made me hurt too. People deserve empathy\u2026 and some extra cash never hurt either\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\">The story resulted in a relatively happy ending, but concern remains over the sharing of personal moments. The situation begs people to allow the full context of a circumstance to play out before responding \u2014 whether the result is negative or positive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>During COVID-19 lockdowns, numerous teachers in virtual classes were filmed as they presented unpopular opinions or appeared to argue with students. As a result, many lost their jobs or faced a barrage of attacks on social media \u2014 from the Left and Right \u2014 for what they said. The ability to record difficult moments at a moment\u2019s notice has created a society where people make assumptions without all of the facts \u2014 a phenomena which inevitably results in further cancellations on both sides of the political aisle. Both sides should be intentional when responding to a recorded incident, instead of making a snap judgment based on what fits their preconceived ideas and worldview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Actor Levar Burton appeared on \u201cThe View\u201d and discussed the topic of \u201ccancel culture\u201d with the co-hosts. He said that it is more of a \u201cconsequence culture,\u201d and implied that it is a good thing to hold other people accountable when they do something wrong.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cIn terms of cancel culture, I think it\u2019s misnamed. That\u2019s a misnomer,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/levar-burton-cancel-culture-is-consequence-culture\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a>. \u201cI think we have a consequence culture, and that consequences are finally encompassing everybody in the society, whereas they haven\u2019t been ever in this country. I think there are good signs that are happening in the culture right now. I think it has everything to do with a new awareness on people who were simply unaware of the real nature of life in this country for people who have been othered since this nation began.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">When the full context can be provided in situations, it should be. The initial reaction should always be seeking out the opportunity to hear all sides of a story. While the idea of people receiving consequences for their actions might be enticing, it is not for the masses to decide when someone should be punished. There\u2019s no way to tell when the crowd will turn on someone, even its own members. No one is safe from the cancellations of a \u201cconsequence culture\u201d unless they stay silent or repeat the acceptable sayings of that community. Anyone who decries such an unspoken club as a good thing in society should reconsider to whom they are giving the moral scepter.<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
