Daniel Maples Wiki – Biography
Daniel Maples, the man filmed yelling in a Florida Costco, has been fired by his firm after the scene was captured in a viral video, according to the company’s Twitter page.
The company where the man was employed, Ted Todd Insurance, posted an update on its official company Twitter page on July 7 stating the man’s employment had been terminated, although they did not name him.
Corben, who resides in Florida, has shared similar content to the Costco video before.
In early July, he posted a video of a Miami Police officer getting into a confrontation with a woman at the Miami International Airport.
In the video, the officer can be seen speaking with a maskless woman waiting near a check-in desk before he hits her, and she is pushed to the ground. He later said, “she headbutted me.”

Viral Video
The footage, filmed at the Gulf Coast Town Center Costco store in Fort Myers, Florida, was shared on Twitter.
Filmmaker Billy Corben posted the video on July 6. He wrote, “Florida man at Fort Myers Costco in ‘Running the World Since 1776’ shirt flips out on an elderly woman who asked him to wear a mask and man who defended her #BecauseFlorida.”
However, the woman is not seen in the video or heard asking the man to wear a mask.

In the video, the man approaches the camera, yelling, “you’re harassing me?”
Another man’s voice is then heard saying, “I’m not harassing you, you’re coming close to me,” as the man in the red shirt keeps approaching and says, “I feel threatened, I feel threatened! Back up! Threaten me again! Back the f— up, put your f—— phone down.”
Corben explained in another tweet, “this occurred at the Gulf Coast Town Center location on 6/27 and one of the customers targeted said: ‘To give Costco the credit, they escorted him out and made me wait inside and monitored him until he left and then they send someone with me to the care to make sure I’m okay.’”
