This video generated outrage and anger among users who claimed that they did not have to humiliate the waiter in this way. Even the administrator of the place has received several threats against her and from the restaurant. In an interview with Semana, the woman who identifies herself as Mary and who was the person who threw the money to the young man, talked about what happened in the restaurant and explained the situation.

According to Mary, the man would have entered the restaurant a few weeks ago, he was on probation, however, his attitudes and behaviors with some of his colleagues were not the best, he even missed work, because of this they made the decision that once the trial period was over, not to extend his contract. According to the woman, that day of the discussion she was going to be paid 80,000 pesos on the working day, however, she was told that the tips would be given to her the following Monday, since they enter a common bag for all waiters and are distributed equally.

Apparently that day, the waiter would have disagreed about this and began to insult the administrator and her daughter, which is why her husband intervened and would be the person in the video holding him. “Out of anguish, from frustration, I throw at him what I have in my hand, which are banknotes, but I had never reacted like this, I don't know myself.”

“What I did wasn't right. That's why I apologize. I apologize to the boy a thousand. I'm super sorry. It hurts me a lot because I am not a bad person, I have fought all my life, to love animals, nature, children, humans and it hurts a lot. I can't go outside, I'm really scared and really bad, “said the restaurant manager to Semana.
