Starbucks Rant Song Gets Barista Fired (sNSFW)

After his anti-Starbucks rant went viral, barista Christopher Cristwell was fired by the coffee giant during his shift. More than 75,000 people have watched Cristwell's song about the frustration of working for Starbucks. Though a modest total by today's viral video standards, the video was apparently blowing up internally among the company and on gossip sites. 
The lyrics to the song are below (from Cristwell's YouTube page). Do you think the company was correct in firing Cristwell?
Welcome to starbucks
		my name is Chris
		I'll be your barista for the day
		Can i make a drink for you miss?
		I know you've had a shitty day
		well so have I
		I really don't want to care
		but I get paid to try
		Hello rich white lady,
		I already know what you want
		you want a skinny vanilla latte
		young debutaunt
		well that drink won't make you skinny
		you gotta work for that
		and just in case your wondering
		I just called you fat
		hey mr. asshole
		want 6 breakfast sandwhiches?
		I got a line of angry customers
		to hell with this
		You've got a gang of noisy kids
		can you shut them up
		I just want to draw a middle finger
		on your cup
		screw frappucinos
		they take forever to make
		you know theres about a pound of fat
		in your RF coffee cake
		You ordered a grande drip
		and my coffee is out
		I'll just pour you something fresh
		from the decaf spout
		if I have to serve another latino
		An extra caramel frappucino
		I'll empty my drawer
		and go to reno
		and thats not nonfat in your cappucino
		and theres that angry man
		when the store is closed
		feels the need to shout aloud
		and pound on the windows
		well its just a cup of coffee
		give me a break
		I shouldn't have to put up with this
		making minimum wage
		This is starbucks
		I don't want to see you yawn
		well you made me get my ass up
		at the butt crack of dawn
		And I just came up short
		on your vanilla bean
		i'll just inject it with some whip
		because it can't be seen
		please reach the toilet
		thats where you're supposed to take shit
		I dont' have time to shake your tea
		I'll just swirl it a bit
		All my friends think they deserve
		something for free
		At least act like you will pay
		Cuz the lead is staring at me
		And all you regulars
		who order your 'name supreme'
		well i still don't know your drink
		can you explain it to me
		and yes I topped your grande mocha
		with diarrhea whipped cream
		can you make your way home
		i've got milk to re-steam
		You get cappucinos
		your the pickiest of all
		you didn't order it dry
		but you want no milk at all
		you throw back in my face
		tell me I made it wrong
		When I got a line of drinks
		a couple miles long
		extra shot of esspreso?
		"Stop hassling me,
		can i get 18 pumps of classic?"
		with type 2 diabetes
		and I think i've had it up to here
		with these treat receipts
		If I have to explain it another time
		I might defect to Peet's
		I work for starbucks....
