But the video purportedly showing these women mocking their employee met the ire of social media users for a reason. It hit too close to home. The ‘banter’ was no longer between an employer and employee; it was a public dispute reincarnated by those who take so much pride in their knowledge of a second language that they dub it superior to their own – excluding themselves from the majority as the ‘educated niche’. The belief is so deep-rooted - the apology, so paper-thin. And that, perhaps, is what the owners of this restaurant either failed to acknowledge or chose to overlook.
