The lady was made famous by her colleague, Kgau, who works with her at a Hyundai car dealership in Johannesburg. The cow-worker posted a video of the lady crying after making a sale. The woman could not contain her joy as she closed her last deal in order to get a commission.

SA unimpressed by employee’s behaviour in front of client

The lady could not contain her joy and cried in front of the customer who had just bought her car. The client was a bit awkward and did not fully express her excitement for her big purchase.

South Africans thought that the salesperson stole the client’s spotlight and bashed her in a thread of comments. A few people understood the employee’s reaction and congratulated her in the comments section of the viral TikTok video.

Kgau explained in her caption:

“POV: You just closed the last deal you needed for commission. Tears of joy.”

“Now we don’t know who to congratulate.”

@Nicolette 🦋 shared:

“Congratulations, but you totally took the experience away from the client. You could’ve celebrated after she left.”

@Sasa✨️wrote:

“Maybe I’m strict, but congratulations to the lady who bought the car.”

@Zeenhlela♥️ explained:

“Even the client is confused. I would have excused myself and gone to the bathroom just for professionalism to allow the client to celebrate.”

@Unicorn pointed out:

“The person buying the car is even afraid to celebrate because she pities you.”

@Güey-Pashel commented:

“Can you imagine buying a car and the salesperson starts crying. Anyways, congratulations to you too.”

@Bontle_Desree asked:

“Which dealership are you based at? Why are you now giving us pressure to come to you?”

@S’bu explained:

“You earn based on targets met; maybe you need to sell 10 cars in a month before you qualify to earn a small percentage of the total sales.”

@Thabang MamaLeago said:

“I know that feeling, congratulations.”

@sihlegodson shared:

“So she buys the car, and the person who sold the car is the one who wants to be seen and congratulated. Nah, or maybe the seller doesn't believe we'll believe her if she gives story time? Maybe it wasn't intentional, but that doesn't mean it's right.”

@gigs_12.2 pointed out:

“The wrong person is crying.”
