This blonde half-wit, Britt McHenry, who claims to have a brain, relentlessly humiliates a parking clerk and only gets a week's suspension.
In her obligatory apology, she claims it was due to an "intense and stressful moment". She parked illegally and got towed. She also said she should have "taken the high road", as if she was the abused party. Her litany of humiliating commentary was hardly a moment's indiscretion. It's the well thought out and practiced product of a rotten person. This princess really needs to be fired, and perhaps a couple of years time-out from the industry. Let her get a waitress job and learn some manners.
| “Yep, that’s all you care about, is just taking people’s money,” McHenry says. “With no education, no skillset, just wanted to clarify that. … Do you feel good about your job? So I could be a college dropout and do the same thing? Why, cause I have a brain and you don’t?” |
| “Maybe if I was missing some teeth they would hire me, huh?” McHenry says. ” ‘Cause they look so stunning … ‘Cause I’m on television and you’re in a f—–g trailer, honey.” |
Her obligatory and weak attempt at an apology.
| “In an intense and stressful moment, I allowed my emotions to get the best of me and said some insulting and regrettable things,” she wrote. “As frustrated as I was, I should always choose to be respectful and take the high road. I am so sorry for my actions and will learn from this mistake.” |
Why would anyone want someone this awful working for them. Come on BSPN, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find a blonde with some decency.

There!
THE END
This.
Agreed.
why should she mad at the cashier for that? The cashier isn't the one who towed her.

for a ticky-tacky reason, then she has the right to be mad. You should never use a person's physical appearance or social class as an insult. She should have said something like, "I think what you are doing is disgusting. I'd be ashamed to tell my kids that this is how I provided for them."

Because the cashier's fat and shaming will help.

Well, when I got towed (for a bullshit reason), I was given an address to go to 2 towns away. I show up, it's a black tinted window attached to an auto body shop. No sign of my truck. I'm told to slide a money order or cash ($160) through a slot in the window. I say that I want to SEE MY TRUCK first. They say it's actually being stored at another address. So I have no choice but to pay and play ball.
Being 25 at the time, I would have probably said some regrettable things if they didn't hold all the cards.

What experience have you had with this cashier that you can call her a scumbag?

The cashier is a scumbag? How are you qualified to make that comment? She had the decency to tell the ignorant bitch she was being recorded. She actually tried to do her a favor. How is she a scumbag? That's a really dumb, ignorant thing to say.

And I would love to invade her fort
My girl Cassidy Hubbarth would never do something like this!
Yeah, that was well written. I love that even in her apology she sounds like an entitled brat with her " I should've taken the high road" comment. The high road from what? That woman didn't do a damn thing to her. I hate the word and reserve it for the ugliest of circumstances, but this woman is just an ignorant c___.
Was she ogled up and down by the employee that brought her car back, was she forced to wait a ridiculous time as they tried to find her car? Were they rude to her? Was her car scratched?
What she said was reprehensible, I'm not excusing that, but people just don't fly off the handle for no reason.

Yes they do.
People fly off the handle all the time, turn on the news.
No I wasn't there but I'm sure the cashier started it...

I sort of agree with this. I'd like to see footage of the entire exchange. This company has an F rating on BBB. The comments from people who have dealt with them leads me to believe they're not completely innocent here...
It would have been really, really shitty if it were filmed, posted on the web, and I had lost a week's pay because of it.
Why wasn't the cashier behind glass to make her face more anonymous?
Is it company policy to film and upload these kinds of videos to the web? That's really shitty too. I'm sure everybody behaves at their very best when being shaken down for cash.
ESPN girl is an entitled shit, but this is wholly irrelevant other than as a vehicle to cast light on these human garbage bags that operate this business. To act like the fat slob who shopped this story around for a few weeks before it caught is anything remotely worth respect is laughable.
Do some research first you outrage monkeys.
Company that Towed Britt McHenry Has 'F' Rating With Better Business Bureau - ( New Window )
Not only that, but a cursory Google search shows that the "THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO GET BAD REVIEWS!!!1!!" comment is wrong, on principle and in fact.
Blair's Towing service has 4.5/5 stars on Google reviews (compared to Advanced Towing's 1.2). Of course these things can be fudged, but the BBB shows that there are 5 tow service companies in Arlington that have a A+ rating with the BBB.
Britt McHenry lost her cool and got bitchy with a borderline-criminal enterprise. STONE HER!!!

the Better Business Bureau controls for industry. In other words, yes getting towed is a shitty process but the BBB is hammering Advanced Towing because they have found them to be using unfair and predatory practices, much more so than competing towing companies.

McHenry never said she was treated poorly. I'm not arguing that they're a reputable outfit. It just appears that in this instance their notorious behavior didn't come into play. I actually thought about that when i started the thread. I didn't go so far as to research the tower's reputation, but i did search to see what may have precipitated it.
Disagree - do you think she started in on that vendetta unprompted? It's a edited clip.
The company has to know some people are going to freak out at their cashier. It's an emotional transaction, especially if you feel like you didn't do anything wrong. The fact that they aren't protecting the identities of their customers is equally as horrible as some of the words the ESPN lady said.
Is it OK for them to leak your phone call to twitter, for your employer to hear?

Actually I do. I think she's the type that looks for people to abuse. In my OP, I pointed out that that was some well crafted abuse coming out of her mouth. I'm willing to bet she's had a lot of practice at it. A normal, relatively decent person is not going to have that level of shit at the ready. And actually, that's what really got me incensed, it smacked of nasty abuser.
Imagine a customer freaking out at a Best Buy employee because he couldn't return something. Is it OK if that employee uploads the security footage to twitter?
Some highlights from Yelp about Advanced Towing company
Quote:
The people who run this business should be jailed or at the very least beaten with wrenches wrapped in barbed wire.
Absolute scum of the earth trailer trash. The porky front desk lady should lose some weight. Or not, hopefully she drops dead sooner rather than later from clogged arteries.
Quote:
Illegal towing shouldn't be allowed. They don't provide photographic evidence and bully you into paying the $135.
Quote:
It is true that towing companies are low hanging fruit for bad reviews. But straight up this place is managed by some pretty nasty folks. Fortunately they are sort of the odd balls in modern day Arlington. I suspect they will be gone someday soon.
Quote:
If I could give them less than 1 star, I would. The owner should reevaluate his staff and the customer service. I completely understand the need for towing companies and am grateful for their work when it's legal and appropriate i.e. when people can't follow signs or their car breaks down.
The truck towers and front desk staff are liars. They try to bully you into thinking you did something wrong with alleged (because they refuse to show them to you) photographs of you leaving a parking lot. They should be ashamed to call themselves a business.
Quote:
God has a special place for people at Advances towing. They are ruthless and have no heart.
Advanced Towing yelp - ( New Window )
I don't know how yelp is a good measuring stick for a Towing company. I mean who In the world is ever going to say "well I enjoyed the experience I had with ABC Towing when they took my car and I had to come out of pocket with $250"?
