The Lidl argument

Much ado about nothing. I would imagine any good manager would simply view this case on its own merits rather than blanket sack the individual. Just an opinion, of course.
?
He supposedly said:
'No, how dare you? He’s not bothering me. I’ve been here 10 years. I was having a good day until I saw your ****ing face. Go. Go. Go on, you Muslim, die. Arrogant man. Arrogant Muslim man.'
How on earth would that not be a sackable offence in any line of work? You would be an awful manager if you let one of your employees get away with saying that to a customer, whatever the circumstances.
I'm obviously a lot more laid back than you.To be honest, if somebody has given me ten years good service, I wouldn't for a second assume that the example given above would be the norm. I would be wondering as to the circumstances that led up to the incident or whether their might be mitigating circumstances? I would also compensate the customer for their trouble if found to be innocent. I don't just jump to conclusions. You learn a lot running two successful companies

Not working at all would be the real waste.
What an odd comment.

Sack her for putting on a performance like that. I could understand if she said it quietly too him but not scream it half way across the shop to him in front of a shop full of people.
