VIDEO: Taco Bell Employee Channels WWE Prowess to Knock Out Raging Customer

“Customer is king” is a philosophy passed down by marketing moguls for generations and has worked wonders in this capitalist world order. But there are instances where the king too can falter and misuse or take advantage of their position in the scheme of things.

A viral video clip shared online showed how one person took the entire ideology a bit too far and paid a hefty price for it.

Taco Bell employee unleashes full strength WWE style

Popular X page, ‘BrutalFights’ uploaded a video that showed an altercation breaking out between a disgruntled, unhappy customer and a Taco Bell employee. The customer in the video was apparently unhappy with the store after they messed up his order and gave him the wrong one. The video started with the man throwing the bags on a table to the ground as he screamed and charged toward the employee.

The man tried to land a heavy blow but completely missed his punch, courtesy of some swift awareness from the employee, who then proceeded to take his revenge. He lifted the man up and tossed him to the floor, a scene that almost mirrored a WWE move. The tackle knocked him out in an instant and he lay motionless on the floor.

His friend was shocked at what he just saw and asked the employee, “Hey hey hey, why did you do it?” as the other employees in the store tried to control him. The employee replied that he only acted in self-defense after his friend charged at him.

The customer pays a heavy price

The man certainly did not know what was coming his way when he charged in anger. The Taco Bell employee turned into an online sensation with his tackle and the internet had a lot to say about it too.

While the saying, ‘customer is king’ should always be the priority of any service-based company, there is no space for tolerance of violence. The disgruntled man resorted to violence instead of engaging in dialogue and paid the price for it. The employee does regret his actions in the video, immediately understanding the man was unconscious but acted in self-defense.
