In the now viral 1:11 video McGrath’s face is not seen, but her painted nails and long red pigtails as she dials up the store’s intercom system to announce her resignation, outing what she described as mistreatment by management towards her and her fellow employees.

The video with a caption that said “On to better things” was posted online Tuesday and so far has over 4500 shares.

Beth’s voice was clear, but her message although at times laced with profanity, was even clearer: She said, ‘the store’s management did not care about the employees, and especially its elderly employees.”
