A video posted on YouTube has suggested the customer isn't always right - and that karma probably does exist.

"Angry Hot Kebab Girl Meltdown" purportedly shows footage of a woman verbally abusing takeaway staff because they used green peppers instead of red in her children’s meal.

"My kids don’t eat green things, they eat red peppers,” she tells them, slapping her hands on the counter, after admonishing two members of staff for not speaking in English.

A member of staff explains to her that the restaurant usually makes the meal with green peppers.

"I ordered it with red pepper, what are you gonna do about it?" she demands.

After being told that the meal can be remade for the woman using red peppers in 15 minutes, she seems to lose it completely.

"15 minutes? I don’t have 15 minutes for you not to know English, not to get it right the first time. You get it right the first time, the customer is always right."

She gathers her meal, accusing the staff of "being rude in whatever language it is you’re speaking".

Unfortunately she was too busy shouting over her shoulder to avoid smacking into the glass door on her way out.

The video has been viewed over 120,000 times since it was uploaded on Thursday.
