Taco Bell Fires Marketing Manager Who Was Caught on Video Punching an Uber Driver

'It is clear he can no longer work for us'

Taco Bell has fired Benjamin Golden, a senior marketing manager who was caught on video physically assaulting an Uber driver on Oct. 30 in Orange County, Calif.

In a three-and-a-half-minute clip—which has accrued more than 400,000 YouTube views—Golden appears to be too intoxicated to reveal his destination to his driver, Edward Caban. Caban eventually pulled over into a parking lot and told the 32-year-old marketer to get out of the car, which Golden initially refused to do before punching and slapping the driver while also grabbing his hair.
