What Triggered the Incident?
According to Shaikh Maryam Ali, the altercation began when a store employee allegedly laughed at her upon entering the shop. Claiming she felt disrespected, Ali reacted by throwing her coffee on the floor and confronting the employee in a heated exchange.
In the video, she is heard saying, “That girl is stupid, totally worst experience and she is so arrogant… Is this how she greets customers? She ruined my mood. How does the company even hire such people?”
Social Media Reactions: Users Demand Accountability
The video was widely shared across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, drawing severe backlash. The caption accompanying the clip stated, “This is just stupid. Girls like these should be banned from malls and sent to mental institutions.”
One user commented, “Her access to the mall and city should be restricted. People who act like her have no place in civil society. Store owner should file a complaint and get her arrested for harassment of store staff.”
Another sarcastically added, “World War 3 is going to be between Women vs. Women. Men should just sit, relax and enjoy.”
Influencer Culture and Public Behavior Under Scrutiny
The incident has reignited conversations around influencer accountability and public behavior. While influencers often enjoy a large following and brand partnerships, many online users stressed the importance of humility, empathy, and respect toward service staff.
No Official Response from the Mall or Store Yet
