Grumpy Old Man Posting: While I worked in customer service for many years, I got to see many tirades like this. Even so, I don't see how this should even be a news story. The internet is the most amazing invention of my lifetime, but it has it's downside. Public shaming is out of control these days. Think about it this way - we've all had a moment (or several) in our lives we wish we could take back. What if these moments of yours were broadcast to the entire world? How would you deal with that weight?

......not condoning what she did, nor do I really care. But, as they say, there are two sides to every story. This woman behind the counter does not sound too innocent in the matter either.

Unfortunately, they usually got the Valentine with the elephant driving a car that said, "We Auto be Friends".

We need to find who leaked this tape. Above and beyond, that is the real issue here.

To an extent I agree. But there comes a point where you hold your ground and defend you honor. I know for years I've taken the high ground but there has also been a breaking point where you just say FU. Heck I did that a few months ago & banned myself for a week. I want to hear then entire tape before I make a judgement. And it's my understanding that they won't turn over the entire tape. Just the edited version. Again, I'm curious why the media hasn't released the entire version This has been very low key. Could it be that they aren't allowed to hear it all?

The fact that the tape got out tells you exactly what is wrong with that place. You figure it out.

if it's a woman and it's breathing, it's only a matter of time before lite shows up declaring her all 'hawt'
Saw a few posts on twitter by media watcher type people that there internal conversations about her future and potential firing
She does not deserve to lose her job over this, but who would be surprised if she did? Not me. But man that would seem like a harsh punishment for something she will already never live down. I hate to see people's livelihoods affected by what amounts to a pretty harmless action. After hearing more about how the tape was edited and shopped no less, I just don't see how tossing her overboard is in anyone's best interest.
Sounds like that tow company is rather shady. A guy ran into a some store and they had his car up ready to tow it away with his kids still in the car. There are a bunch of stories like that about this company.
She was made aware that it was not a private conversation. The attendant tells her that she's being recorded.
Had she just made remarks about the towing company and their shady practices I would have no problem with her going off on them-- but that's only if her complaints were legitimate (who knows). But when you are in the public eye and you decide to go personal like that and make those comments, too bad. If I were her boss I would fire her. How does she appear on tv any more as a credible reporter? She can't. Time to let her go. Let's face it-- her looks got her there anyway, as is the case with 90+% of the female reporters.
I hear ya. I'm all about standing your ground and defending your honor (aka taking no shit from anyone), but there's a right and wrong way to go about that and I feel Britt went completely the wrong way.
It'd be nice to get an unedited version of the tape, but no matter what the clerk said Britt is still in the wrong. All the unedited tape would do is determine if Britt was in the wrong along with the clerk or still in the wrong by herself.

With a camera rolling? No way! That's almost as dumb as throwing a fit with MULTIPLE cameras and microphones present.
Absolutely she was warned, and she should have risen above...
But it does sound pretty shady that the video was edited and shopped around for several days. She still has to face the music, if there is any music to face, but it sounds like the towing company is beginning to get some egg on their face as well...
kidding KIDDING!!!!
Yep. That's pretty common. Not excusing her by any means, she's a mean and small human being... but when girls are told over and over again how beautiful they are and society treats beautiful women special. Well, some people are not big enough to handle it, and they become what they become. It appears to me that Brit McHenry still has the emotional maturity of a middle schooler and still acts like one.
I'm weird like that. I generally don't like plastic surgery on a woman at all. It's one thing if she had a total eagle beak and had it worked down to a more "average" nose. But chicks with a normal nose who try to look like Tinkerbell creep me out.
She has that appearance of somebody who is obsessed with her looks and is constantly trying to do something more. Lighter shade of hair, lose another 5 pounds, whiten her teeth more, get her nose done, get botox, etc. She looks like she's had the rhinoplasty and botox for sure.
It's not a guarantee, but can often be an indicator of severe image and insecurity issues that go hand-in-hand with a chick being about two bucketfuls of crazy. Body dysmorphic disorder is no joke.
Don't be surprised if another 10+ years go by and she looks like Joan Rivers.
