A former Taco Bell employee in Converse, Texas, got into a heated argument with her former manager when going to pick up her last paycheck — and nearly the entire incident was caught on camera.
The footage, which appears to have been taken by another worker, begins with the former employee — referred to as Margarita — wielding a large tea dispenser, which she appears ready to throw at the man, who claims to be the manager, KSAT reports.
“How old are you, little girl?” Margarita says, taunting the manager. Seconds later, she hurls the contents of the dispenser at the man. The manager quickly reacts by grabbing another tea dispenser himself, and throwing the entire cooler back at Margarita.

“Just go get your mother and take her to the car!” the worker tells Margarita's son.
While behind the counter together, the manager is yelling at the woman's son, saying, “Your mom’s about to get knocked out.” The young man then follows his mom behind the counter, tells the manager not to "touch my f---in’ mom, b---h,” and tries to get his mother to leave the restaurant.
