A Dominos manager was caught on surveillance cameras assaulting an employee in the store’s freezer. The video went viral on social media after the manager was suspended for one day.
According to the Daily Mail, the video shows employee Emily Frias being followed into the freezer by manager Clayton Floyd on Sunday, January 26 at a Dominos Pizza in Azle, Texas. Floyd points his finger at Frias then slams a pizza tray out of her hands. Moments later, he punches the wall several times in a fit of rage. The district manager of the restaurant initially planned to suspend Floyd for one day until the video went viral after Frias’ sister-in-law Kathryn shared the video on Facebook on Monday.

‘Yesterday, January 26th, 2020, Clayton Floyd was having a rough day so Emily suggested for him to take the rest of the day for himself. He got irate and decided to belittle her so she removed herself from the situation and she went to the freezer to get dough to continue her work day. He decided that was not enough confrontation, he went to the freezer, GOT IN HER FACE AND ASSAULTED HER.’

Kathryn added that Floyd returned to work the following day and Emily was not allowed to discuss the incident.
‘ She continued: ‘Emily now has to work in a hostile environment. She has never been a problem employee, has bent over backwards to help this store be successful. Is this how we allow our hard-working Azle citizens to be treated? Absolutely not. I am OUTRAGED’.
Dominos executives caught wind of the video and conducted an investigation, leading up to Floyd’s termination.
‘We’ve offered our most sincere apologies to our team member who was being grossly mistreated by a manager. Immediate action was taken to suspend the manager until we completed our investigation. That manager has now been terminated. Never was it our intention to ignore or accept the behavior of the manager. Domino’s has long valued its team member’s safety and well-being. We are proud members of our local communities and want nothing more than to provide great food, service, and jobs to people in the neighborhoods we serve.’
