Vumanity Interview with Rachel and Robert, exclusive interview, as promised to our subscribers.
There is a lot of information going around with Rachel’s encounter with Adam Smith. I, her fiancé Robert wanted to create this site as an official page with information and updates.
Strictly in the interest of professionalism, and because Rachel is employed with Chick-fil-A, she will not be commenting or contributing directly to this site for the time being, I will be her voice. She will of course be viewing the site.
I want to thank all of the CFA patrons for their support online. Rachel’s CFA location has been flooded with phone calls and emails of support and appreciation. We appreciate each and every one of you, it means so much to us. This has hit me hard, as it has Rachel, because we are just a couple of innocent people, going to work and paying our bills… in fact, we’re engaged to be married. This unflattering video of the customer opened my eyes to realize that I am not only marrying who I already thought was the most amazing girl ever, but now I know with certainty that she is the classiest young lady that I have ever met.
Please keep her in your heart and/or prayers.
Just brought these to Rachel. Thank you for the love, everyone.

Rachel (and I) are incredibly grateful.
P.S. I bought Rachel and I some Chick-fil-A for lunch. 
Update: this has lifted her spirit, thanks everyone!

First off, this is Rachel posting. I have received many comments and messages from supporters concerning the response I will give publicly about the situation with Mr. Smith. I am aware of his current situation and the swift response of his former company, Vante, with his firing.
It is not, was not and will never be my intention or hope to see him or his family suffer. We all make mistakes, and with today’s viral media, this mistake has cost him dearly.
I don’t want to say too much, but I urge you all to keep watching as this event unfolds over the next few days. I’m still the same Rachel that I was two days ago before my face went out to every computer screen and TV in America. With the guidance of my amazing family, my supportive fiance, and the wonderful company I work for, I will continue to do the right thing.
Thank you all and have a good night!
Rachel

Here is a transcript
Smith: “You know why I’m getting my free water, right?”
Worker: “No.”
S: “Because Chick-Fil-A is a hateful corporation.”
W: “I disagree. We don’t treat any of our customers differently..”
S: “I know, but the corporation gives money to hate groups. Hate groups. Just because people want to kiss another guy.”
W: “I’m staying neutral on this subject… my personal beliefs don’t belong in the workplace.”
S: “Yeah I believe that too, I don’t believe corporations should be giving money to hateful groups.. I’ll take my water”
W: “I’m really uncomfortable that you’re videotaping this..”
W: “It’s my pleasure to serve you, always.”
S: “Oh of course, I’m glad that I can take a little bit of money from Chick-Fil-A, and maybe less money to hate groups.”
W: “Well we’re always happy to serve all our guests.”
S: “I don’t know how you live with yourself and work here. I don’t understand it. This is a horrible corporation with horrible values. You deserve better.”
W: “I hope you have a really nice day, and..”
S: “I will, I just did something really good, I feel purposeful, thank you so much.”
S: “Have a good day… I’m a nice guy by the way, and I’m totally heterosexual.. not a gay [unintelligible] in me, I just can’t stand the hate, you know? It’s gotta stop, guys. Stand up.”
