In the 5-minute video, Henry Lao (one of the owners of the Tiong San store chain), can be seen standing near the counter and asking questions from a lady customer and from his employees. With the suspicion that the customer was trying to steal from his store, he raised his voice and - for lack of a better phrase - all hell broke lose.
The customer tried to defend herself but Lao wasn't buying it. "Sanay na kami sa mga nagnanakaw ng tela eh. Ay naku, huwag kang ganyan. Akala mo, nakalusot ka!," the businessman shouted. The argument then led to questions of how many yards the customer ordered and if she removed the tag or not. At one point, the businessman angrily asked an employee, "Ano ba ang nilagay mo, 23 o 15? Ikaw ang tatanggalan ng trabaho!"
The businessman also threatened to take the customer to the Baguio City police. At one point, he held the customer by the arm and shoved her to the side. The video didn't show if the parties involved resolved the issue or if they went to the police.
The video has already garnered nearly three thousand comments and responses. Some of those who left comments shared that they've experienced seeing first-hand the temper of the store owner in some of the instances that they shopped in the department store. Some of the comments supported Lao, stating that the businessman has the right to be angry at the customer for allegedly trying to steal from his establishment.
Below is the video of the incident.
