Supermarket chain Eastmatt has admitted that their employee assaulted a cashier at their outlet in Kajiado earlier this week, announcing that he has been suspended. In a statement issued on Saturday in response to a viral video believed to be from internal CCTV footage, Eastmatt castigated the employee without naming him. In the video, he appears to have been playing a supervisory role over the cashier he assaulted before other people in the supermarket intervened. The video, captured on Tuesday afternoon, shows a male employee of the supermarket arguing with a cashier, who is counting cash apparently to hand to a customer. In their statement, Eastmatt also noted that it is committed “towards a cohesive and conducive environment for all our staff members”.
