Also why was it being filmed, did they push her buttons and then bait her?

I'm pretty sure this has happened before. That's how they knew to film.

Also what would be a possible good reason for this kind of behaviour?

If one of my colleagues behaved like that, they would get fired. End of story. We're here to be professional and get the job done. You don't treat people like that.

I can almost feel her anger as I have dealt with and still deal with employees who seem to always be on a go slow, however to talk to someone like that is a no go. Let alone the disrespect, a business owner should be a leader as well and having gone through leadership training, the worst thing to do is talk to your staff as if they are children because they will then react like children which solves absolutely nothing.

Regarding the time taken, well that really depends where in the mall the toilets are located. It's quite possible to take that long but the employee should notify the owner they are going to the bathroom.

I'd say there's more to the story than just this one incident because no one switches straight to crazy mode unless their patience have been wearing thin over time through repeat incidences.

Employers should always remain calm no matter what the circumstances and just go through disciplinary. Employees should be more communicative especially when leaving their workplace.

Slow news day or what?

If she's out of line, stand up for yourself. If that doesn't work and it escaltes, take it to CCMA. Otherwise it's just a bunch of childish morons out idioting each other.

Well if you saying she had that outburst because she is a racist and this was a first incident by the employee then she should hopefully get whats coming to her but I doubt racism is at play here.

Some people need to be shouted at but call them into your office, we have the same **** at our office , employees going to make coffee then striking up a loud conversation with someone.
And the problem is?

She was angry yes but keep your shyt together otherwise you make it worse.
Have rules and protocols in place for toilet visits that puts you in the drivers seat, so you won't resort to an outburst that gets recorded, uploaded and you end up getting raked over the coals.

So she's a racist for shouting at black people ? LMFAO.... Twat.
No. She is a racist because she would not treat her own kind that way. I'm willing to bet that. You've clearly not seen how poorly black people are treated in this country. It's disgusting and sad.

People abuse it that's all I'm saying.
No one wants to live or work in an environment where you shouted at but some people just take it too far and spoil it for the rest of us.
Case in point staff at our office chatting for 30min + loudly as well when we have clients trying to have a meeting a closed door away.
So what happens, no one can now go make coffee, we must ask tea ladies to do it.

What happened before the second video though? First video she is frustrated, but hasn't yet exploded. We've all been there. Anybody that has managed people knows this feeling. I've had days where I have wanted to smash my own head against a wall out of sheer frustration. Second video starts with her screaming ''How dare you shout at me''.

I feel sorry for the man who is married to that trash... You have to be a different kind of rubbish to relate to people like that.

She's Asian - They treat all people like that. Maybe time to stop sugar coating schit and treat people for the fckups they make. Eskom...... Oh, we're sorry. Local municipality can't fix a pump and need to have outside businesses come and rescue their incompetent fckup artisans.

If she treats everyone like that, then I will remove my previous comments, but to me, it seems a bit racist. I see these things all the time.

Pick your colour, racism is racism. If she treats everyone like that, then I will remove my previous comments, but to me, it seems a bit racist. I see these things all the time. This reminds me of those old Leon Schuster movies.

We also don't know the full story, so no point in assuming the Asian lady did something wrong. We need the full story with all facts.
