Person A, who claimed to be the owner of a self-service gas station, said, "A couple came to refuel a few days ago, and a woman was at a loss as she could not find the IC card slot. I couldn't go right away."



He added, "When the staff explained where to put the IC card after work, the man got nervous, swearing, 'Why is the machine made like this?"



According to Mr. A, the employee came into the office to avoid friction with the man, but the man chased the employee into the office and shouted, "Kneel down."

The man also threatened an employee by grabbing him by the neck and pushing him away.



Mr. A said, "The wife who came with me couldn't stop her husband, so she slapped our employee on the shoulder and conciliated, 'Let's get down on our knees and finish it quickly,' and the employee had no choice but to kneel. , I also stepped on my thigh twice with my foot."

He continued, "As the president, I want to give all the help to the staff, whether it is hospital treatment or civil and criminal litigation."
