A routine food pickup turned violent when a 7-Eleven employee was caught on camera attacking a woman who had entered the store to collect an Uber Eats order. The shocking incident, which unfolded in front of stunned customers, has now gone viral and is fueling nationwide outrage.
According to reports, the confrontation began when the woman arrived at the convenience store late in the evening to retrieve an order placed through Uber Eats. Witnesses claim she asked about the order at the counter when tensions escalated between her and the employee. While the exact cause of the dispute remains unclear, video footage shows the worker suddenly becoming aggressive.
In the viral clip, the employee can be seen confronting the woman near the refrigerated aisles. Voices are raised, and within moments, the situation turns physical. The woman, clearly shocked, tries to defend herself while shouting for help. Customers nearby can be heard gasping as the scene unfolded, some pulling out phones to record what they couldn’t believe they were seeing.
Law enforcement was quickly called to the scene, and police later confirmed that both parties were interviewed as part of an ongoing investigation. The woman was treated for minor injuries but did not require hospitalization.
Uber Eats released a statement shortly after the video gained traction online: “The safety of our delivery partners and customers is our top priority. We are deeply disturbed by the footage and are in communication with the individual affected to offer full support.”
7-Eleven’s corporate office also responded, stating that they were “aware of the disturbing incident” and had suspended the employee pending the outcome of both the police investigation and an internal review. “We do not tolerate violence of any kind in our stores,” the company said.
The footage has generated thousands of comments on social media, with many expressing anger at the employee’s actions. “Unbelievable — people are just trying to do their jobs,” one user wrote. Another added, “If this is how employees treat customers, I’ll never set foot in a 7-Eleven again.”
Others, however, urged caution until all the facts are confirmed, suggesting there may have been an exchange that escalated the situation. Still, most agreed that physical violence in any form is unacceptable.
Legal experts note that the employee could face criminal charges for assault, depending on the results of the investigation. Even if no charges are filed, the viral video has already tarnished his reputation and sparked a wave of backlash against the convenience store chain.
What began as a simple Uber Eats pickup has now become a nationwide talking point about customer safety, workplace conduct, and the dangers of confrontations escalating out of control.
