Quote from the OP

A Market Basket spokesman said the company "condemns the driver's actions" and said the driver and his company have been fired.

Either Market Basket fired itself or this guy is not an employee of Market Basket but of another company entirely. If Market Basket is not his employer, he is not a "Market Basket driver" as the headline describes him.

Is this just sloppy journalism or a deliberate attempt to smear Market Basket employees as violent and menacing?
